"I hope they play well and Ohio State still wins."
It's the boilerplate statement you'll get from virtually every self-identifying Buckeye fan who attended college elsewhere whenever the alma mater shows up on the schedule against Ohio State. Bowling Green grad? I hope the Falcons play well and Ohio State still wins. Toledo grad? I hope the Rockets play well and Ohio State still wins. Miami grad? They're going to get annihilated but hey at least it's almost hockey season. Well, it's almost boilerplate.
