The last time Ohio State played in the Sugar Bowl, Arkansas was a force to be reckoned with, you could mentally picture Bobby Petrino in something other than a neck brace, and this bit of complete badassery put a grin on our faces because it came in a validating, cathartic victory that we totally deserved.
Well, time and change and all that, and Bobby Petrino is a punchline (albeit a punchline with a coaching job), Jim Tressel is the President of Youngstown State University, and that Sugar Bowl win apparently never happened. So that sucks, but here we are, on the edge of 2015, and Ohio State has yet another chance to prove themselves against an SEC opponent. Except this time, the Buckeyes have already been through the wringer due to a Lemony Snicket-style series of unfortunate events that they came out of smelling like a rose.
Still, Nick Saban and Alabama is one hell of an obstacle, and to help us better understand that obstacle, we've brought on Fox Sport's Stewart Mandel and SI.com's Andy Staples to help us figure this thing out. Mandel gives us the media day updates from New Orleans, and Staples gives us the view from the Rose Bowl in Cali (and also about a billion dining suggestions for you New Orleans Buckeye bros).
All this, and Ask Us Anything (which you can do by hitting us up on Twitter or sending us an e-mail here), and of course commentary by Matt Finkes with Finkes On Football! It's a big ass Dubcast for a big ass game, so check it out why not?
