Logically what will happen.

OSU is pretty good on the road so im not sold that LSU has a big advantage when it comes to then having basically a home game.

If Tressel blows this game then he might as well just never return to the Buckeye State.

Don't forget how well OSU fans travel. It's not like this is a regular season game. It's for the whole ball of wax, and OSU fans will be all over down there. In 2002, the game was in Arizona, and they estimated that over 80% of the stadium was dressed in scarlet and gray.

If you have ever traveled to New Orleans you would have never made that statement.  i am an Alabama fan and hate LSU but, there fans, there town, there state.  OSU fans have no chance to factor in this game.  The cajuns could be the loudest most annoying fans on the planet.  80% is close to what lsu will have there.

Then perhaps you can tell me why OSU paraphanilia has outsold LSU's? (In New Orleans no less.) Sure, SEC teams have great fans with a lot of passion about their teams. But up here we call that... Northwestern. OSU has to play in the loudest, most intimidating stadiums on Earth every year. The paltry amount of people in the Superdome won't be an obstacle for this team. The only way the crowd has an affect on OSU is if the pay to much attention to the shocked look on the LSU fan's faces we they see all that Scarlet and Gray in the arena.

I'm sorry, but both of these teams play in loud stadiums every year. I don't get how people make that out to be such a big deal, they both are used to these enviroments and I don't see how it would affect either team in any way. The crowd is almost as dumb a myth as the Big Ten's "lack of speed."
