They were very high on VT defense.
Looked like they thought the difference would be an improved Buckeye defense.
Mark May was quite animated in support of VT.
No link to the topic on ESPN yet.
Edit: Steele picks anOSU to win but not beat the spread.

That's crazy talk.
VT is the clear underdog, and they can't jinx it by pretending to favor VT.
Mark May is the TOSU's biggest hater
Yea he went to Pitt and that is why he sucks. (Not really)
That had me cracking up. May picked VT with no shame
"They were very high on VT defense" ......... I can relate
when there is 50/50 chance of beating the national champs, you must be doing something right.
when ESPN gives you a chance against the unanimous # 1 team in the nation, you must have gained some respect.
When ESPN gives you a chance against the #1 in the nation, it means that they are afraid that viewers will tune out, thinking that the game will be a blowout. Sorry, but I'm all kinds of cynical about anything ESPN says or does these days. That said, all things considered, 50-50 sounds about right.
Haha Mark May picked VT last year too.
And he was right, let's hope he's right again!
Mark May also wearing a Maroon and Orange tie this morning!
We're tOSU, so thats what you call us. That or "their tOSUness" or "Los Buckerinos" if youre not into the whole brevity thing.
After reading this post, if I call you guys anOSU now, that makes a certified internet tough guy, correct?
"Los Buckerinos" meaning the little bucks, or, in relation to your mascot, the little nuts? If you insist...
Ok, anOSU it is!
Thanks for the confirmation.
It was specifically stated on 11w that "we don't go around calling ourselves tOSU, so anOSU is just rude and doesn't make any sense" (paraphrased)
Was that an error?
One guy got the joke. I guess it was a little obscure. kinda like Hokie football.
Lol. Everybody got it. Now, lets Bowl! I mean, Football!
Mark May has definitely not been kind to the Hokies in the past, particulrly when we play Pitt. Interesting answer from him
Yeah. I don't really care for Mark May that much, but when he picks us I'm all like....
Heinz Field has been even less kind
so what is Mark May doing now? I'm watching a replay of College Football Final on ESPN right now and it's absolutely terrible! It's just nowhere near the same without Lou and Mark arguing.
Bring back Dr. Lou!
I miss his folksy humor delivered with a lisp. "Comedy Gold Jerry, Comedy Gold!"
He does ABC studio stuff with John Saunders and Mack Brown.
Can't watch ESPN anymore the only reasoning anOSU victory is "too much talent" and they don't even consider the genius planning we have bought into last year. We have talent too!
In summary:
"suspension, suspension, suspension, injury....but talent!"
This all sounds familiar...
