Cleveland fans still have fresh wounds from LeBron leaving, PD's Ohio State writer says.
Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor hopes to put on a show for his friend LeBron James on Saturday against Miami.Welcome to today's edition of Starting Blocks TV, our Web video show about what's going on in Cleveland sports. Today's show is hosted by Chuck Yarborough and Branson Wright. Let's go to the highlights:
• The Ohio State Buckeyes have a big showdown Saturday afternoon in the Horseshoe against the Miami Hurricanes. Who do you think will win, and by how much? Cast your vote in today's Starting Blocks poll.
• Today's guest, Plain Dealer Ohio State writer Doug Lesmerises, agrees with Branson that the Buckeyes will win by more than seven points in what will be a close and entertaining game. Looking for more predictions? You can guess which team actor/ex-wrestler/ex-Hurricane Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is picking.
Doug also talks about the Tweets that have become bulletin-board fodder in the OSU locker room; and the relationship between Terrelle Pryor of OSU and LeBron James. Also, Doug discusses a story he will have in Friday's paper and online about the Cleveland vs. Miami rivalry. Doug says Ohio State has a chance to stick it to Miami fans as payback for LeBron leaving town for the Heat, and for the 1997 World Series that the Indians lost to the Florida Marlins.
SBTV will return Friday morning with Plain Dealer Browns beat writer Tony Grossi as the guest. He will answer fans questions from his weekly Hey, Tony! feature.
