Epic-Styled Video Hypes USC/Ohio State

It's titled "Crack Those Nuts" and is part Gladiator, part 300, part Lord of the Rings and part any other epic movie we've been witness to the last few years. Over the top. Ridiculous. Awesome.

It's times like these I wish Ohio State had a cooler nickname/mascot -- couldn't they have been a Tiger or something like that? Credit to the film-maker for working with the available material, turning a Trojan into a nutcracker and Ohio State's bucknuts into, well ... cracked nuts (see 1:53 in).

Will that be the result on Saturday? That steadily-shifting line seems to agree as USC is now at -10 or -11 and counting even though everyone and their uncle has known for a week that Beanie Wells would be physically ready for this game. USC's band doesn't play "Conquest" for nothing. But maybe Jim Tressel's once again played it like a sly fox.

By Saturday night we'll know for sure. Until then: Crack. Crack. Crack.
