Five... and counting

Since we've entered "game week", it would make sense to highlight Michael Wiley or the great James Laughlin, 1979 team MVP.

Actually, since Jim's blocked punt in the 1979 MACh1gAAn game led to another loss by TTUN, and since we seem to be making a lot of friends from "bluer" websites, let's take day five in a different direction.

As in the last five versions of The Game:

2004- 37 to 21 Troy and Teddy lead to the upset of the #7 team in the nation.

2005- 25 to 21 "The Catch". Oh, and the amazing tackle by Shawn Crable on Ohio State's last score.

2006- 42 to 39 The Game of the Century. #1 vs. #2. Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith and the Buckeyes win again, with help from Morgan Trent and Shawn Crable.

2007- 14 to 3 All Beanie, All Day. Plus, Jake Long allows Chad Henne into the Gun Show that is Vernon Gholston.

2008- 42 to 7 Goodbye, Beanie. Hello, Boom and Terrelle.

Just think, if they hadn't been breaking all of those practice and training rules, they would have been shut out.

To be honest, the best thing about day five is that next year we'll be able to use this template for countdown day six.

Niiiiice change-up Mali! Can’t let ’em forget their recent successes.

I mean, scoring on OSU’s defense is impressive, right? =D
