Michigan hammered PSU with ease during my years attending games but couldn’t offer the Buckeyes a challenge I road-tripped to PSU as a freshman in 1994 to watch Ki-Jana Carter run up the score on a good OSU team right after PSU joined the conference. That sucked. After that “fluke,” PSU wasn't really on my radar until Pryor’s Buckeyes ran into a buzzsaw during the first nighttime whiteout I can remember. Since then those games have been nearly impossible to win on the road. I currently think of MSU as a bigger rival mostly because of Dantonio’s connection to OSU as defensive coordinator during the national championship run in 02. He runs that program similarly to the way Tressel ran the OSU program, which will always cut deep for OSU fans. Losses in the conference championship in 13 and a terrible home loss in 15 (on my 40th birthday) sealed the OSU-MSU game as a bitter rivalry for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 fair enough, I understand how Sparty has provided a challenge, I have no clue why PSU ever gets within 21 points of a good tOSU squad Aside from the RichRod era, Michigan is something like 12-1 on PSU with 9 wins in a row in there The media trumpets the Michigan rivalry for old times sake, just like it does the Leafs/Canadiens although they haven’t met in the playoffs since 1978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Urban says a few more weeks on Bosa, but they expect him back weber and landers good to go Saturday which is great news. Bucks -4 currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 I think it’s possible that if OSU is out of the playoff by the time he is cleared to return, he won’t play again for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ND beats Stanford this weekend, they are basically in the playoff and makes it even harder for anyone to get in with one loss. The rest of their schedule is a breeze. at this point I just can’t see OSU going undefeated. Their schedule is tough.

ND will fumble bumble stumble a shoulda-won away, it's hard to go undefeated even with a great team... get your one loss over with ASAP in the season would be interesting to see if they give ND the edge over a one-loss SEC team like Bama or Georgia I used to think ND would get in with ease by the committee, but I think the Irish appeal to a national base is not 1/3 of what it was 20 years ago... could again be very wrong Trojans at home won't be a pushover.

What sucks is that was the year OSU went undefeated in urban’s 1st year but had a self-imposed bowl ban (thanks Gene) from the tressel situation. If they didn’t have the bowl ban they would have gotten in over Bama, who had one loss. And I guarantee OSU would have beaten that ND team. If there are 4 undefeated power 5 conference champs, ND won’t get it imo regardless of their record. Otherwise they probably will unless Bama is the team with the loss.
