			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>OOtners:</strong></p>
<p>A beautiful Tuesday 60 degree&#8212;yes I said <strong>60 degree</strong> afternoon in Columbus!!</p>
<p>It has been a while since we talked…</p>
<p>As most of you know the Buzz usually does not put a lot of stock in National Signing Day (Which is tomorrow)&#8212;All I have to say is that Mike DeAndrea—<em>who most of you have never heard of</em> &#8211;was a 5-star recruit—and AJ Hawk and Troy Smith were 3-star recruits…so enough said about how the “experts” can miss.</p>
<p>However…with the fact that OSU cannot attend a bowl game or play for the Big Ten championship this year—added to Ohio State being ranked by the “experts” as having only the 25<sup>th</sup> best recruiting class before Urban Meyer took over—what he has done in six weeks is nothing short of <strong>INCREDIBLE</strong>!</p>
<p>I won’t bore you with all the details…usually the best websites for recruiting are scouts.com and rival.com, but for you out-of-towners Urban has been raking in 4 &amp; 5 star players almost every day!!&#8230; He has flipped players who were previously committed to Penn State, Michigan State &amp; Notre Dame—he has beaten out Mi##igan for the top players still undecided&#8212;all while we are on a 1-year probation!—</p>
<p>It makes me wonder about next year when we are not on probation&#8212;wait…next year’ class 2013…that’s right Urban now has two commitments from Ohio in that class…oh by the way they are the TOP 2 players in the State and <strong>BOTH 5 star players</strong>!</p>
<p>The fact that Ohio State is even in on some of these players based off last year and next year’s problems—WOW!</p>
<p>And the rumor is we still might be in on a couple HUGE “gets” from players not committed. Most “experts” now have us as the 3<sup>rd</sup> best class in the nation and an opportunity to go even higher.</p>
<p>So keep an eye out tomorrow about who <strong>WANTS</strong> to be a <strong>BUCKEYE</strong>—and who wants to be a part of this <strong>MACHINE i</strong>n the years to come.</p>
<p>Tress gave us an incredible decade&#8212;three times we played for the National Championship and seven times we won the BT Title—guess what <strong>IT’S GOING TO GET BETTER!!</strong></p>
<p> Sit back and enjoy the ride</p>
<p>Proud to be a Buckeye—</p>
<p>Go Bucks!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>OOtners:</strong></p>
<p>A rainy Monday afternoon to you all from Columbus…</p>
<p>But…It’s <strong>URBAN TIME</strong> in Columbus!!</p>
<p>Yes what the Buzz told you <strong>weeks ago</strong>it is now official Urban Meyer will be the next coach @ The Ohio State University….the official news conference I’m sure you OOtners can watch on ESPN today @ 5:15P</p>
<p>Urban is meeting with Luke Fickell and he will be offered a place on the staff.</p>
<p><strong>So what does it all mean for the Buckeyes:</strong></p>
<p>First and foremost a man who <strong>UNDERSTANDS</strong> Ohio State football—you have no idea how big that is, ask Michigan about RichRod—Meyer was born and raised a Buckeye</p>
<p>Two National Championships&#8212;and he has won @ Bowling Green, @ Utah and @ Florida</p>
<p>Immediate recruiting…one website reported last night that a star receiver out of Florida who had already committed to Miami, Florida &#8211;has rescinded his commitment and now is taking an official visit to Columbus next month. He knows Florida, He knows California (Utah days) and he knows Ohio.</p>
<p>He will assemble a <strong>GREAT</strong>staff&#8212;there is NO arguing as this season has unraveled that Jim Tressel was in total control of the offense—not sure if he just liked some of those guys or he owed them a favor but they were not great coaches</p>
<p><strong>YOU CAN WIN </strong>with his offense in the cold—I also challenge those distractors.. for the last ten years how many games have you seen the Buckeyes play in the snow&#8212; one?&#8230; It doesn&#8217;t get cold in Ohio anymore until December.</p>
<p>This is one of only a small handful of places that <strong>PLAYERS and COACHES</strong> will gladly come, the tradition, the passion, etc.</p>
<p><strong>EXPECTATIONS:</strong></p>
<p>Okay let’s relax…I am only planning on winning a couple National Title’s over the next five years!—<strong>Just kidding</strong>…You still need some luck, some things to go your way <strong>BUT</strong>we will be in the picture every year!&#8230;and again after finishing only (6-6) this seasomn everyone is talking about the Buckeye’s… let me share with you something that was already sent to me…</p>
<p><em>Fellow Buckeyes: </em></p>
<p><em>Urban has been coach for about an hour and already recruits are flipping.  First flip, four star wide receiver Ricquan Southward of Lakeland, Florida flips from Miami to Ohio State at 9:30 this morning.  More to come!! The following have contacted Ohio State and asked for official visits: Lamont Green, RB, Miami, Fla.; Joel Calub, WR, Midlothian, Va., Jordan Diamond, OL, Chicago, Ill., Alex Cozan, OL, Highlands, Colorado, Nick Davidson, OL, Eden Praire, Minn.  By my count Ohio State only has three &#8220;scholarships&#8221; left.  Some already committed may be asked to gray shirt.  Exciting times!!</em></p>
<p>He GETS IT!!!!&#8230;You understand he gets Ohio State Football!!</p>
<p>Let me show you two more things I think you will <strong>like</strong> and proves it…(And of course makes the Buzz like him more…Urban’s wife (Shelley)…who although you have heard many times he is from Ohio—and you might have been concerned that she would not like Ohio—she also is from Ohio. …Here’s her answers to two questions she was asked a couple years ago…I have highlighted WHY I LIKE the man already!! (LOL)</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> When the Meyers are on a car trip, what kind of music will be playing?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Urban cues up <strong>wall-to-wall Jimmy Buffett</strong>. If he has 10 CDs, they are all Jimmy Buffett. We met Jimmy at the Super Bowl this year and I think he roots for the Gators. Our children prefer hip-hop but Urban can&#8217;t stand it.</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> If you and Urban could have dinner with a group of people from all of history, who would you pick to share a table?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Wow, that&#8217;s an interesting question. I need to think about for a while. (Four days later came the rest of her reply). It would be me and Urban at a table with <strong>Woody Hayes</strong>, Michael Jordan, Jimmy Buffett, George W. Bush and Florence Nightingale</p>
<p>I’ll leave you with ONE final thought—although I was cheering hard for this year’s Buckeyes to NOT have our streak stopped in Ann Arbor—and we played well (<em>Makes you wonder if Bollman would have been</em> <em>awake all season!)…</em>the streak had to come to an end at some point…and the beauty with today’s announcement…</p>
<p>No matter how many Mi##igan fans you know in the work place—friends of yours…this should be a Day to celebrate their win over the Buckeyes and shove it in our face—this should be their day to shine…and guess what, with our announcement this afternoon we <strong>JUST TOOK AWAY THEIR MOMENT AGAIN!!!!</strong></p>
<p>More to come as the info comes in BUT I’ll leave you with another bit of info to tease your neighbors with…how about a Florida vs. Ohio State (Gator Bowl) on January 2<sup>nd</sup>???—Urban’s old team vs. his new one?&#8230;Humm remember you heard it here forst…</p>
<p>Proud to be a Buckeye—This is going to be fun!!!</p>
<p>Go Bucks!</p>

<p>A cool but beautiful sunny afternoon in Columbus…I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving…as we all have <strong>many things </strong>to be thankful for this year.</p>
<p><strong>THE GAME</strong>…that’s all that need to be said this week!!&#8230;No other predictions, no other games to discuss…We are now only <strong>23 hours </strong>away from kickoff!</p>
<p>For the <strong>108<sup>th</sup> </strong>time…and since 1935 on the last Saturday of the season…<strong>MICHIGAN &amp; OHIO STATE</strong> will do battle—this time in Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>An NCAA record crowd of over 115,000 people are expected—and after attending the last three victories in the Big House&#8211;the Buzz has opted <strong>NOT</strong> to be in attendance this year.</p>
<p>We all know it has now been (<strong>2925)</strong> days,  or just over eight years, since Michigan has won this game and the Buckeyes have tasted defeat&#8230;. However, throughout the history of this series it is so evenly matched and many times the underdog has been victorious…enjoy the streak, we have all sat through it the other way!</p>
<p>Don’t think the series is close?&#8230;Since <strong>1927</strong>…we have played each other 83 times <strong>AND</strong> we have scored the exact same number of points&#8211; <strong>1,309!</strong></p>
<p>This year also marks the first time in <strong>82 years</strong> that both teams enter with a new head coach at the helm.</p>
<p>Separated by less than <strong>200</strong>miles…this significance of this rivalry has been handed down from generation to generation&#8212;and tomorrow as usual will be played on an overcast &amp; chilly day.</p>
<p>Who cares if their coach only calls us “<em>Ohio”..</em>big deal, hell he’s from Ohio..he knows it will get under some people’s skin…no different than Tressel 10 years ago…basically “predicting a victory” in Ann Arbor…whatever anyone says&#8211; <em><strong>THE TALKING IS ALMOST OVER…</strong></em></p>
<p><em>So how it will play out…</em></p>
<p>When Ohio State has the ball, we have been saying for weeks now we have to be more <em>Unpredictable</em>. Michigan’s defense HAS improved from a year ago—and we will need to keep them off balance. However, as you know we have not been overly successful doing this the past month. Michigan will be ready&#8211;come on OSU, open it up a little!!</p>
<p>Our defense also has to <strong>STOP </strong>having these mental lapses…we play well for a stretch and then we don’t. Yes I know we are young..but we have nothing to worry about<strong> LET IT LOOSE </strong>on Saturday. The weather forecast is not great for tomorrow so a premium will be placed on the running games of both teams…</p>
<p>Okay listen up!!</p>
<p>In the end…The last few times we have thrown a new young QB at the Wolverines (Troy Smith/Terrelle Pryor) we have had success&#8212;<strong>CAN </strong>BraxtonMiller not only make some big runs but start to work with DeVeir Posey and complete a couple of long passes.</p>
<p>The Buzz believes our defense will be ready…what a weekend it could be, as someone pointed out <strong>VICTORY</strong> over Michigan on Saturday… Urban Meyer is named head coach Sunday or Monday—and the unbeaten Buckeye basketball team beats Duke Tuesday night @ 9:30 on ESPN!!!</p>
<p>The <strong>BUCKEYES DO GET IT DONE!!&#8230;</strong>running their win streak over <strong>The Team Up North</strong> to eight straight..<strong>OHIO STATE- 24&#8211; Michigan-21!!!!   </strong> </p>
<p>Proud to be a Buckeye—<strong>SCREW THE BLUE!!!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Go Bucks!</strong></p>
<p>Butch</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>OOtners:</strong></p>
<p>A cool 32 degrees &#8211;and a perfectly sunny day from Columbus…</p>
<p>Okay the Buzz came back to earth last weekend…we did have a couple wins -South Carolina, Florida State—but our Upset Special plus Stanford and of course the Buckeyes all fell…. Hey come on,  it couldn’t last forever.</p>
<p>So the Big Ten Championship game?…well you know me still optimistic!—<strong>IF</strong>, and yes a BIG IF Illinois upsets Wisconsin this weekend and then Wisconsin beats Penn State next weekend—well the Buckeyes would need to win the last two—so don’t give up yet!</p>
<p>Before we get to the football this weekend…</p>
<p><strong>RUMORS&#8212;RUMORS</strong> of course are everywhere about the next Buckeye coach being former Florida Gator Head man Urban Meyer…. For those unaware of Urban’s career and ties here you go.</p>
<ul>
<li>Urban was born and raised in Toledo (As we have discussed most great coaches have Ohio ties)</li>
<li>Urban is very good friends with former Buckeye head coach Earle Bruce- Earle gave him his start</li>
<li>Urban <strong>STILL</strong> has a picture of Woody on his office wall and grew up a huge Buckeye fan</li>
<li>Herby has stated many times that Notre Dame is NOT Urban’s dream job it is <strong>Ohio State</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>NOW&#8212; Here’s what the Buzz knows as of today…</p>
<ul>
<li>Urban Meyer has told insiders he is ready to get back into coaching</li>
<li>Ohio State is prepared to move <strong>QUICKLY</strong>after the Mi##igan game, which of course is next week, they cannot afford to miss recruiting—speaking of recruiting Meyer adds instant credibility</li>
<li>Urban has lobbied for the job—Yes he has talked with some of the trustees- <strong>trust me</strong></li>
<li>And the plane that everyone was discussing yesterday that arrived in Columbus from Gainesville&#8212; Was he on it?&#8212;LOL</li>
<li>And we are also trying to confirm that he has already reached out to a couple people to become his offensive coordinator next year at Ohio State</li>
</ul>
<p>What does it mean????</p>
<p>The Buzz believes that within <strong><em>seven days </em></strong>of the Mi##igan game the announcement will be made!!!</p>
<p>But back to this weekend…</p>
<p><strong>Nebraska @ Mi##igan</strong></p>
<p>It’s November and time for the Wolverines to do their ‘el Foldo routine…this doubles as the Buzz <strong>UPSET SPECIAL</strong> of the day—take the Huskers in this one (<strong>35-33)</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Wisconsin @ Illinois</strong></p>
<p>Do the Illini have <strong>ANYTHING</strong>left?&#8230;Once again after a fast start (6-0) Zook’s team has lost four in a row and he is on the hot seat again. This game, if Wisconsin wins would end the Buckeye’s hopes of playing in the Big Ten championship game&#8212;the Buzz will be cheering for the Illini&#8212;and they play hard… but Wisky gets it done—<strong>Wisconsin- 30 Illinois-23</strong></p>
<p><strong>Boston College @ Notre Dame</strong></p>
<p>The Battle of the Catholics—and I ask ever year <em>WHY oh WHY</em> do most Catholic root for the Irish and not Boston College?&#8230; I’m not Catholic- but I say GO BC!!…<strong>Boston College- 13 Notre Dame- 2</strong></p>
<p><strong>Kentucky @ Georgia</strong></p>
<p>The Bulldogs are rolling with eight wins in a row…The Wildcats are (2-0)…well in basketball that is!! Kentucky fans don’t care its basketball season…<strong>Georgia- 40 UK-13</strong></p>
<p><strong>Arizona @ Arizona State</strong></p>
<p>HUGE rivalry game in the state of Arizona—of course Buzz reader Geoff Poer will be focused on this one&#8212;sorry Geoff it’s basketball season for you as well…<strong>ASU- 27 UA-14</strong></p>
<p>The Buzz also like..Stanford to bounce back and defeat <strong>Cal (41-17)…</strong>Oklahoma now thinking about getting back in the national Championship picture&#8212;although the Buzz thinks <strong>BIG (Little) GAME BOB</strong> still has a loss up his sleeve but not this weekend against Baylor—<strong>Oklahoma-49 Baylor-23</strong></p>
<p><strong>Game-Of-The-Day—Penn State @ Ohio State</strong></p>
<p>Of course the Penn State situation is a mess—and now they are desperate for a win so they can stay in the hunt for the Big Ten Championship….Hell Ohio State for that matter is a mess (at least on the field)—UP one week DOWN the next!&#8230;I know it has been a long time since we have had a record like this (6-4) and many schools would still be happy—BUT NOT HERE in C’Bus!</p>
<p>Since Penn State joined the Big Ten the Buckeyes are (8-4) against the Nittany Lions and PSU has captured ONLY one win in the ‘Shoe!&#8230; As a matter of fact in the last six trips to Columbus, Penn State has scored&#8212;(14-13-6-10-7-6) points—so look for the Buckeyes defense to put forth another great effort.</p>
<p>As we know the offense is a different story—each week we continue to look for a screen pass or a draw—and each week we <strong>don’t see it</strong>—while it is senior day in the stadium—the Buzz hopes offensive coordinator <strong>Jim Bollman</strong> takes a long look around the stadium as well—let’s be honest it will be his last game in the stadium tool!</p>
<p>A 3:30 kick—which I love in the late fall will afford us a start in the sun and a finish with the lights on and dark over the stadium—cold weather…<strong>PERFECT</strong></p>
<p>In the end…the Buckeye’s defense plays a solid football game once again against PSU and the offense does just enough as we pull out a (<strong>17-13)</strong> victory!!!!</p>
<p>And when that game ends—<strong>IT’S MI##IGAN WEEK!!!!! </strong></p>
<p>Proud to be a Buckeye</p>
<p>Go Bucks!</p>
<p>Butch</p>

<p>A cool 32 degrees…oops I mean a sunny 72 from Bonita Springs, Florida…Happy Veteran’s Day to everyone!&#8230;Let’s remember to thank someone today who allows us to have the freedoms so we can have some fun on the weekend’s watching college football</p>
<p>Another big weekend of football…I’m headed to <strong>BIG AL’s </strong>to watch the games—join me?</p>
<p>In the them of spending the weekend in Florida…let’s take a look at what the Sunshine state has to offer in college football…</p>
<p><strong>FLORIDA</strong> @ South Carolina</p>
<p>The ‘ole ball coach takes on his old team again and after years of taking their lumps from the Gators&#8211;SouthCarolina actually has a chance to make it two wins in a row over Florida. The Gamecocks, with Lattimore out with the injury lost last week @ Arkansas…and they need to rebound if they have any chance of making it to the SEC Championship game. The Gators with a loss&#8212;will fall to (5-5)—MY how the mighty have fallen. Even though Brantley is back at quarterback look for the Gamecocks defensive line to dominate—<strong>South Carolina- 30 Florida-17</strong></p>
<p><strong>Miami @ Florida State</strong></p>
<p>A couple decades ago <strong>THIS</strong> was the biggest game of the week and many times the biggest game of the season—did I say it in the last paragraph—<strong>MY how the mighty have fallen</strong>. The Seminoles who were ranked in the Top 5 in pre-season have fallen apart. The Hurricanes—still trying to get back to respectability&#8211; are so up and down it’s impossible to predict every week. Florida State has the better players and they are also at home- Look for their defense to come up big—<strong>Seminoles-34 Miami-23</strong></p>
<p><strong>Florida Atlantic @ Florida International</strong></p>
<p>Just kidding…not even sure of these two teams nicknames!—<strong>Take Florida International (45-20)</strong></p>
<p>Okay…let’s get back to talking about some REAL football teams.. but FIRST</p>
<p><strong>Notre Dame @ Maryland</strong></p>
<p>Ugly Team vs. Ugly Uniforms…Humm…The Irish have been playing well&#8211;but I like Maryland in the upset&#8212;<strong>Terrapins- 33 Notre Dame-30</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Buzz </strong>also likes and sends out a Good Luck to all our armed forces—<strong>Air Force over Wyoming (37-20)…Navy to upset SMU 27-24…and Army to upset Rutgers 24-20</strong>…It could happen!</p>
<p><strong>UPSET SPECIAL OF THE WEEK..Michigan State @ Iowa</strong></p>
<p>Last week we told you that Mi##iganwould go to Iowa and come back home with a loss—and we also told you that Iowa still controls their own destiny in the race for the Big Ten Championship game. Iowa has Sparty’s number winning four of the last five years including the whippin at Iowa City last year-the Spartans only loss during the regular season. After being embarrassed @ Minnesota, the Hawkeyes are feeling good about their chances—they pull off the upset..<strong>Iowa- 23 Michigan State- 20</strong></p>
<p><strong>Game-Of-The-Day&#8211;Oregon @ Stanford</strong></p>
<p>While we have not highlighted these two teams a ton on the Buzz—trust me they have been “very good to me” this year when it comes to “entertainment purposes in Vegas”. The Buzz has been riding both teams all year and the winner here-If it Stanford stays very much alive in the National Championship race. I know Oregon can put up the points&#8211;however Andrew Luck is pretty damn good&#8211; At home Cardinal gets it done in a shootout&#8211; <strong>Stanford- 45 Oregon-37 </strong></p>
<p><strong>Ohio State @ Purdue</strong></p>
<p>Two years when the Buckeye’s traveled to Purdue as the Nations 7<sup>th</sup> ranked team they committed five turnovers and played like crap!&#8230;As a matter of fact Ohio State has not played well @ Purdue in quite some time. Depending on what happens this weekend in State College next week’s Ohio State vs. Penn State could be for the lead and a possible berth in the BT Championship game.</p>
<p>Purdue is much better at home and the Buckeye’s better come ready to play!</p>
<p>The Buckeyes running game has started to click—and let’s be honest they are hanging their hats on the running game—since the passing game SUCKS!—The defense has played well at times and then not so well—we will need to play better down the stretch.</p>
<p>In the end…Ohio State pounds the ball and the defense makes Purdue one dimensional taking away the run. Look for the defense to play strong—perfect weather is forecast in West Layfette&#8212; <strong>Ohio State-30 Purdue-17!!</strong></p>
<p>Proud to be a Buckeye</p>
<p>Go Bucks!&#8212;and stay warm!</p>
<p>Butch</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>OOtners:</strong></p>
<p>A beautiful morning to you all from Columbus!…</p>
<p>LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I mean COME ON!&#8212;where is the <strong>LOVE </strong>for the BUZZ!!!&#8230;. A (33-2) over the last three weeks <em>(DAMN Notre</em> <em>Dame)</em> giving me my only two losses—I might have to pick them this weekend…oh never mind.</p>
<p>Yes, of course the streak of <strong>“Hot Picks Each Week”</strong> is going to end—but you have to laugh at the roll we are on!&#8230;. And be honest the Buzz is <strong>NOT</strong> shying away from the tough games!</p>
<p>We hit the UPSET special for the 3<sup>rd</sup>week in a row—telling you Iowa, who had just been blitzed by Minnesota of all people, would bounce back and beat Mi##igan!&#8230;When all the “experts” said otherwise we told you that LSU would go INTO Alabama and win at night!&#8212;We told you Wisky would bounce back, Stanford would roll and that Arkansas would outlast South Carolina!</p>
<p>Okay, the Bucks had a little hangover&#8212;<strong>hey we all do from time to time</strong>…but a WIN is a WIN—and we move one step closer to having a shot to play in the Big Ten Championship in what of course is a down and screwed up year for us.</p>
<p>With what is going on over at Penn State (Very very sad)…who knows what frame of mind they will be in for the next three weekends….hopefully Nebraska can take them down Saturday—we will let you know on Friday.</p>
<p>The Buzz by the way will come to you from beautiful Bonita Springs, Florida this Friday.</p>
<p>Three 100-yard rushers in the game for the first time since 1989…nothing wrong there. We need to get the defense tighter in the second half—and remember while the passing game sucks we do get Devier Posey back in two weeks!</p>
<p>So, it’s on to Purdue&#8212;always a difficult place for the Buckeyes to play, be careful. Just keep getting better baby..  </p>
<p>Proud to be a Buckeye!</p>
<p>Go Bucks</p>
<p>Butch</p>

<p>A crisp- cool but sunny afternoon to you all from Columbus!…A beautiful day today as well as a perfect weather forecast for the game tomorrow.</p>
<p>Another BIG week of college football on tap Saturday…and since we were debating about either going to the Ohio State/Indiana game or waiting at home for <strong>Kim &amp; Kris</strong> to return the wedding gift we got them—okay…we decided to go to the game!</p>
<p>The Buzz had to laugh though—have you ever Googled&#8212; “Kim Kardashian”?&#8230;It says&#8211;An American Businesswoman, Socialite, TV Personality, Model, Actress….. WHAT?????? Where the hell have I been??..Actress??&#8230; Where, When??</p>
<p>I for one believe she needs to give the gifts back…<em>Not to the Buzz</em>—with a (<strong>25-1)</strong> record in the last three weeks-Hell I have everything I need—BUT, some may want their gifts returned…</p>
<p>Let’s take a look&#8211;</p>
<p><strong>Purdue @ Wisconsin</strong></p>
<p>The Badgers would like to <strong>return to their early season form</strong>!&#8230;Riding high two weeks ago and in the thick of the National Championship talk&#8211; Bucky now has dropped two in a row and needs a win to stay in the hunt for the Big Ten Championship. In to town come the Boilermakers, having been blown out the last four times these two teams have played. The million dollar question here is where is Wisconsin’s head after suffering those two crushing late game defeats—the bet here is with still a lot to play for the Badgers grind it out against an over matched Purdue defense&#8212;<strong>Wisconsin-47 Purdue-17</strong></p>
<p><strong>South Carolina @ Arkansas</strong></p>
<p>The ‘ole ball coach, he would like <strong>Kim &amp; Kris to return his former starting quarterback Stephen Garcia.</strong>Spurrier kicked him off the team a month ago and the Gamecocks have not been the same since. Throw in the injury to talented running back Marcus Lattimore and you can see why South Carolina is struggling to score points. With a date at LSU later in the season Arkansas is still thinking about getting to the SEC Championship game and an outside shot at the National Championship game&#8211;should things fall their way….that’s not going to happen BUT the ‘Hogs will have enough offense to outlast the Gamecocks in this one…<strong>Arkansas- 24 South Carolina-16</strong></p>
<p><strong>Kansas State @ Oklahoma State</strong></p>
<p>Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder would like his <strong>DEFENSE returned and returned quickly! </strong>After giving up only 19 points a game through their first seven games the Wildcats got blistered last weekend for 58 against Oklahoma and now they must travel to Stillwater to face the Cowboys who are focused on getting to the Oklahoma game unbeaten. The Cowboys can score some points!!&#8230;and oh by the way for those who are interested…they also like to cover the point spread…<strong>Okie State- 52..K. State- 24</strong></p>
<p><strong>Notre Dame @ Wake Forest</strong></p>
<p>The Irish…okay you know where I’m headed with this one..the <strong>Irish would like to return to relevance in College</strong> F<strong>ootball </strong>(LOL!!)…okay come on that was funny!&#8230;Notre Dame travels to Wake Forest…hum let’s see, for some reason I like the Demon Deacons here…let’s call it <strong>4-3.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Buzz </strong>also like Stanford to continue to roll although they might start a little slow after last week’s big win—they beat Oregon State <strong>(45-17)…</strong>Georgia , look out the Bulldogs after an (0-2) start are getting better even with three suspended players&#8212;they pound New Mexico State <strong>(37-13)&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Upset Special of The Week</strong>…</p>
<p>Mi##igan travels to Iowa…Kim Kardashian once said in February 2007 when it became apparent that a company had a sex tape of her and her partner&#8212; “<em>There is NO amount of money in the world that</em> would <em>convince me to release this tape—it would humiliate me and ruin my family”…</em>two months later in April Kim settled for 5 million dollars with the company allowing them to release the tape!!! (LOL!!!)&#8212; Mi##igan it’s time to be humiliated and ruined&#8212;Hawkeyes upset Wolverines <strong>(42-38)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Game of the Week…Alabama vs. LSU</strong></p>
<p>Okay let’s get serious for a second… Both of these teams come in with a lot of talent and a lot of hype—but <strong>STOP</strong> with the, “They should play again for the National Championship”—I would love to see the winner of this game lose a game later—could happen, lot of football let.</p>
<p>Yes these two have dominated the SEC&#8212;whether good or bad—these two are good-the rest of the Conference who knows&#8212;Arkansas is the 3<sup>rd</sup> best team and <strong>hell</strong> we beat them last year&#8212;<em>oops sorry forgot that game never happened!</em></p>
<p>LSU on the road—<strong>NO PROBLEM</strong>—one of my co-workers here at the station pointed out to me a stat—<strong>LISTEN TO THIS</strong>…LSU is something like (30-1 on the road at night in their last 31 games)—I’ll take that stat any day&#8212; <strong>Tigers- 27 Crimson Tide-24  </strong></p>
<p><strong>Indiana @ Ohio State</strong></p>
<p>Letdown?&#8230;Humm what do you think?&#8230;This Buckeye team needs to stay focused and continue to get better even when they are facing an inferior opponent like Indiana. With a renewed enthusiasm and an opportunity to still make some noise in the conference, the Buzz doesn’t see a letdown happening.</p>
<p>Indiana’s defense is very poor starting—they start five freshmen&#8212;The Buckeyes need to try some new plays/formations this week—look ahead to the final three weeks of the season and show those opposing coaches some tricks and plays to make them prepare&#8212;give them plenty to think about on film…. Jordan Hall is out with a slightly twisted ankle this week.</p>
<p>Ohio State’s defense will continue to play well and get ready for the stretch run…</p>
<p>Come on what do you want me to predict??&#8230;. Okay here’s a prediction for you&#8211; Butch &amp; Paul’s tailgate opens up sometime in the third quarter!&#8230; In the end the Buckeye’s are way to strong… <strong>Ohio State- 42 Indiana-13 </strong></p>
<p>Let’s keep this momentum going..</p>
<p>Proud to be a Buckeye!</p>
<p>Go Bucks</p>
<p>Butch</p>

<p>A crisp cool partly sunny afternoon to you all from Columbus!…AND a Happy Halloween!!</p>
<p>For those of you (And you know who you are)- who text or emailed me (telling me kudo’s on my picks)&#8211; and basically finally came around to saying… &#8220;<strong>WE BELIEVE IN THE BUZZ&#8221; </strong> and what you write&#8212;<strong>A HEARTFELT</strong> <strong>THANK YOU</strong>—And, for those who are still <strong>NOT</strong> believers-what the HELL is it going to take???</p>
<p>I mean COME ON<strong>&#8212;In the two previous weeks we went- (17-0</strong>)—including telling you last week that Michigan State would upset Wisconsin and then this week we go <strong>(8-1)!!—</strong>And are you really going to hold me to that <strong>ONE </strong>loss?—Hell I picked Navy over Notre Dame!!!&#8230; That makes the Buzz <strong>(25-1</strong>) in the last three weeks including Ohio State’s win @ Illinois two weeks ago&#8211; and this awesome game on Saturday night against Wisky!!</p>
<p>We told you the Buckeyes would win by <strong>three</strong> points and they won by <strong>four</strong>—Our Upset Special of the Week—we told you unbeaten Clemson was going down against Georgia Tech—we said that Stanford would outlast USC—That Nebraska would take down Sparty—AND most importantly that the <strong>BUCKEYES WOULD</strong> get back in the Big Ten race to Indy to play in the first ever Big Ten Championship!!—what more do you want—how about some love?</p>
<p>Where are the NON-believers now?</p>
<p>Now you are looking at the schedule—you are saying this defense, while young is not bad, you are saying the running game is getting better—you are saying that <strong>NO WAY </strong>Penn State remains unbeaten in the Big Ten—and oh by the way that visit from the Nittany Lions to the <strong>“Shoe on November 19<sup>th</sup></strong> looks pretty interesting!</p>
<p>OKAY—you know I’m just kidding with you—I know you were cheering on the Buckeye’s Saturday night—for those in attendance in Columbus (<em>Including McLeer, who although he complained a little</em> <em>about this being colder than Southern California he toughed it out&#8211;)&#8211;</em>you know what I’m about to say—for those watching at home on TV-<strong>An Electric atmosphere Saturday night</strong>—the cold, throwback uniforms, loud crowd&#8212; all the way to the awesome finish!&#8230;the last five minutes INCREDIBLE!</p>
<p>I won’t get into the entire game—but you are watching this team grow up before your eyes—remember we are very young—and now with a 5-3 record, starting to play some solid football, we are getting better.</p>
<p>The schedule&#8212;<strong>Indiana, @ Purdue, Penn State &amp; @ Mi##igan</strong>—are ALL winnable games&#8212;By the way—take a look at the website and congrats to all you Buckeye Fans—TODAY marks the <strong>2,900</strong> day (that’s right 2,900 days).. since we last lost to the Wolverines (LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!)</p>
<p>Tailgate was rocking (You can check out the awesome pictures on the website)…the rumor’s were true- Butch &amp; Paul’s opened at 2P—</p>
<p>Let’s keep this going</p>
<p>Proud to be a Buckeye!</p>
<p>Go Bucks</p>
<p>Butch</p>
