 Buckeye Battle Cry 2008 is a must-have for any OSU football fan who is not satisfied with the page or two devoted to the Buckeyes in the typical season preview magazine. This publication devotes over 100 pages to the storylines that are most important to Buckeye fans heading into the season. With color photographs throughout, Buckeye Battle Cry 2008 is the most comprehensive look at the 2008 season anywhere.
2008 is definitely a unique time in the history of Ohio State football. In many ways it is the best of times: three straight Big Ten titles, four consecutive wins over archrival Michigan along with a National Championship and a Heisman Trophy all in the last six years. However, two straight disappointments in National Title games have created an uneasy feeling in the hearts of Buckeye fans. Fortunately, the roster of last year's national runner-up returns almost intact to take one more shot at the big prize.
In addition to a detailed position-by-position breakdown of this year's team and an analysis of each of this season's opponents, Buckeye Battle Cry 2008 offers insightful analysis of the players and issues that will determine success in the upcoming seasons. A diverse group of Buckeye football experts including Bruce Hooley, Doug Lesmerises and the writers from TheOZone.net will answer the following crucial questions:
- How can Ohio State rebuild its national reputation in the wake of recent bowl game letdowns?
- Which players could be the difference between success and failure this year?
- Has anything changed in Tressel's approach to big games?
- What will the 2008 offensive attack look like?
- How will the coaching change at Michigan affect Ohio State and the rivalry?
- Why did so many stars from last year's team pass up the NFL to return for one more year?
- How does the football program's success finance excellence throughout the athletic department?
In addition, other contributions profile some of your favorite Buckeye players. There is thorough coverage of the Terrelle Pryor-led incoming freshman class as well as a list of players to watch as next year's recruiting class is assembled. Finally, Buckeye Battle Cry 2008 will look back at some of the great Ohio State team's of the past. Eminent historian Jack Park will celebrate the 1968 team on the 40th anniversary of their national championship. Todd Porter will revisit a squad that came just short of joining the '68 guys in Buckeye immortality: John Cooper's 1998 team.
All this and more is packed into 112 full-color, ad-free pages. Buckeye Battle Cry 2008 is a definite must-have for any Buckeye fan getting ready for the season.
