Life update

I watched most of the first half on my iPad shitting my brains out on the toilet from this sickness. Pretty good metaphor for the first half of the game.
Lets flush that shit down the turlet and emerge anew

Three and out twice maybe doesn't provide a lot of opportunities.
Not prioritizing getting the ball in the hands of your single most talented player on offense is egregious, esp in the CG. There is no next week to save him for.

Just can’t get myself to the point where I’m angry.

OSU is awesome. We are so banged up defensively. Just a worst case scenario.

At some point it was going to make a difference. And here we are.

Still love these guys and hope they go out fighting.

We need to hand the ball to our running backs. We got here with our running game, and it seems like we are getting cute and putting everything on leonard.

Fellas don’t forget, besides the OL, the Buckeyes have had ZERO injuries this season, none. This isn’t all X’s & O’s tonight… it’s mostly the Jimmys & the Joes.

Not an excuse, just a fact. Regardless, it’s been a helluva season and this is just the foundation of the things yet to come.

We are getting closer with closing the talent gap. We need to upgrade at WR and DL.

Denbrock has been less than impressive in the playoffs. He plays not to lose. Does nothing to make the defense adjust.

I was told I had a "loser mentality" when ai said this would be 35-6.

Ohio State is the most talented team in the country, and generally healthy. Notre Dame is a fantastic defense with a mediocre offense, and very banged up.

1st drive of the second half will decide how this game plays out. We get a turnover, game on. A stop and we make it competitive. They go through ND like a hot knife through butter and we get embarrassed.

Looking objectively.

First O drive: Orgasm

Second O drive. Who really knows bc penalties. When you’re 2nd&25 what do you even do?

3rd O drive: Yeah, that was pretty bad. When you’re at that point and trying to get cute with a bunch of timing stuff, it just feels like that never works out for us.

Those penalties on the 2nd drive were really the killer. Beaux turning upfield and then Jags “hold” (which absolutely was a hold, but as an OL he was in such a no win spot there) just killed it.

Anything is possible, but it’s going to take the biggest gut check and resiliency these guys have shown all year.

Texas D played better.

It doesn’t bother me. I’m telling you it’s going to continue whether you like it or not.
Maybe, but it no longer matters in the 12 team, soon to be 14 team playoff. We can now play our way into these games rather than having to rely on experts to “vote us in” and then be told we don’t belong.

Just like we did this year.

Probably ballgame but if we can win this first 4 coming out of half we at least have a chance to make them feel game pressure. Losing the toss was a real kick in the balls.
I’m not sure we lost the coin toss. It looked like a trick flip.
since when does a ref catch the flip?
It hasn’t been that way since the 90’s, lol!

Gotta say as good as the first drive felt it was pretty obvious that was not a sustainable approach to the game.
