What do USC, Ohio State and the college issues of Playboy have in common? They are college icons in the minds of fair-minded gentlemen everywhere. You might want to add Marie Morgan, a senior at Ohio State (they're playing USC this weekend -- have you heard?) to that list. Marie (above, center ... obviously) happens to be appearing in America's favorite magazine this week as the Girls of the Big Ten issue premieres, and she was kind enough to take time out of her schedule to chat with FanHouse about Beanie Wells, Jim Tressel's sneakiness, the sexiness of sweater vests and posing for Playboy.
Will Brinson: OK, obviously you guys have a big game this weekend; it's probably not a big stretch to say you'd pick Ohio State to win, but how do you think the game will play out?
Marie Morgan: Well, I think it's going to be a close game, but it's tough to say what will happen because Beanie is still injured and he makes a huge difference for our offense.
WB: Yeah, Wells' injury status has been the big talk this week. Some people actually think Coach Tressel is playing games with the media and Ohio State. You think he's really injured?
MM: I think he's injured. But maybe he plays. And maybe he plays the whole time. Tressel is sneaky.
WB: (laughing in agreement) Yeah his image doesn't portray that though; what are your thoughts on men in sweater vests?
MM: Very sexy. We love the sweater vests. Come to one of our games and everyone is wearing them.

WB: As they should, since Tressel has built quite a program up there. Do you think the Buckeyes are a contender (again) for a National Championship this year?
MM: I know that we all want it, especially after the last two years. Obviously it's the ultimate goal for the football players, and even though last week was really rough, we came back.
WB: Yeah, you mentioned the last two years (laughs awkwardly) ... um, some people think the Buckeyes are a little overrated -- do you think a win over USC would justify Ohio State as the favorite to win a title?
MM: I think we would be entitled to another chance, yeah. Three's the charm.
WB: That's what my dad said about my junior year at NC State ... which reminds me, I totally forgot to ask what year in school you were.
MM: (laughs) Fifth year senior.
WB: Nice.
MM: It's hard to graduate in four years!
WB: You're telling me ... besides, five's the new four anyway, and you get more football. Are you friends with any of the players?
MM: Not close friends, no, but we see them on campus.
WB: Alright then, who's your favorite Buckeye now? And of all time?
MM: James Laurinaitis is my current fave and Troy Smith for all time.
WB: And coach wise ... and I'm not sure if I can even ask this respectably ... but you mentioned the sexiness of the sweater vest, and Carroll's considered a pretty good looking dude, so who's cuter: Tressel or Carroll?
MM: Definitely have to go Tressel. He's a family man.
WB: Despite the sneakiness?
MM: We like the sneakiness.
WB: Awesome. So we expect to see "Turn-ons: Sweater-vests and Sneakiness" in this month's magazine -- which hits newstands today -- I'm curious to hear a little about ... like, how did you end up deciding to pose for Playboy?
MM: Well, I had already been interested in Playboy, and thought it was maybe one day something I would end up doing. I actually did the photo shoot last fall and then this year I did the interview and shoot and they called me back and here I am.
WB: Cool, cool ... Well, I would expect that you've got some publicity stuff going on as well -- any specific plans for the weekend or a Playboy tailgate?
MM: No, not this weekend, but we will sign the magazines next Friday and we have a big post-game Playboy party after the Troy game in two weeks at McFadden's in Columbus.
WB: Wow -- so a pretty big pair of weekends for the girls of the Big 10. Alright, Marie, on behalf of men everywhere who love to read the articles, thanks for taking time out of your schedule to talk to FanHouse ... and good luck this weekend!
If you'd like to see more pics of Marie you can visit, of course, Playboy.com (NSFW, clearly) or if you want to avoid getting fired on a Friday, you can always check out the non-nude shots of the Girls of the Big 10 at PlayboyU.com (some salty language available). And if you happen to be at the 7-Eleven at 352 W. Lane Ave. in Columbus it could be a pretty nice spot to station yourself between 11:00 a.m. and 1 p.m. on September 19th if you want to meet attractive OSU coeds.

Why would any God fearing person care what this whore thinks?
Jesus Christ loved a whore.
