Must have been a trap game, Looking ahead to Michigan, who didn't look the greatest either

 

 

 

Buckeyes have not played anywhere near their potential this season

maybe the whole coaching thing affected them more than they know.

 

 

 

Its not that unusual for them to be this way through the years, helps that few other teams in the conference can even dream of matching the talent the Buckeyes take for granted

Lots of potential and superior athletic ability, can’t get it to click on O all season long

 

 

 

They had 688 yards offense yesterday vs a top 20 defense. They took a minute this season to get the run and pass to succeed together, and the OL is not a strength this year, but the offense is not the issue, at all. Haskins is amazing and the WRs have been clutch. They have the same issue as Oklahoma - a brutal defensive scheme. And they make up for it by being very poorly coached.

It hasn’t looked in synch for most games this year, the last two wins weren’t impressive but they got the job done

 

better than looking good and losing

They were trying to get the run game going vs Nebraska which they did, but then didn’t pass as much. Sparty was played in cold/wind so they had to run it again, which they actually did against the #1 run D. Yesterday they did both, finally. But all their real issues are on the other side.

But it was pitiful and emasculated Maryland yesterday that they squeaked it out against

Maryland actually has a good D. #2 overall in Big 10 and #1 in the country in takeaways or something like that. Bad offense though. Until they played us, of course.

Calling it now, Michigan in the final four.

 

 

 

 

Hope it’s a great game right down to the finish

 

But nothing would surprise me, a Michigan steamroll win or a Michigan butt-puckered choke job again at Columbus

A win is a win, by any means necessary on Saturday

 

college team stats mean nothing when it comes to important games

True , but it's Michigan 's turn

 

 

 

Yeah, that’s how it works, ?

A noon game for this?

 

thought it would be 3:30

nobody is buying that, we half expect huge wolverine furballs coughed up all over the field  :D

 

I honestly think that’s why it’s hovering around 3.5 to 4 instead of the full 7 many expected. Too many would jump to bet on osu.

Always noon, tradition. Only year it was 3:30 was 1 vs 2 in 2006

for the road trips to Columbus we'd leave at 2 am and get there just in time to grab some last minute tickets, i wasn't aware of the clock those weekends

 

i was there in 2006, must have been my last one

Higdon coming hot out of the gate!!

 

Harbaugh guaranteed a win over OSU while he was QB at TTUN, and made good on it, so I’m not really surprised to see this. 

I think he panicked internally when asked the question. Better answer would be to say they need to play their best game, earn it, etc. He was cornered into that answer. But as the favorite, it only fires up osu even more. No one is really giving them a chance nationally yet the weasels have not won here in 18 years. Better shut up until you actually do it. But I love this.

 

give me David Boston vs Charles Woodson!!

I think it was a perfect answer!

I think it’s concerning that no Buckeyes have ever experienced a loss to TTUN. Not sure they have the proper perspective. The underdog thing is good,  but the rivalry has lost juice on this side for everyone but the fans who lived through the Cooper years.

it's not a rivalry when you win almost every time

it's just another conference game

It was discussed a lot a couple months ago that Penn State is a bigger rivalry now for the current players. I wouldn’t doubt that. We needed TTUN to be good again for the rivalry to have the proper meaning but there is still a ways to go. I think the coaches make it a big deal but you have to wonder how much the players feel about it given their constant success. The freshmen on this team weren’t even born before the rivalry turned to OSU dominance. Not so true for the fans older than 30  who have painful memories of the 90s.

TTUN has zero excuses if it flops on the field this year.

 

TTUN should win in a cakewalk on paper.

 

some rivalries keep alive, Leafs and Habs haven't met since 1978 in the playoffs... Sabres and Leafs have met once since 1970

And what about The Other TUN?

2 years ago it was all the rage because Dantonio has beaten Urban twice. But it’s died down since then. 

I can understand  that.

 

Do you think there will be someone there with another Bills flag at Game Day? That did happen in Columbus didn't it?
