Is that true? Damn, listening to media I assumed we only come out of man on rare occasions.

But, you have the best excuse ever to upgrade. All is not lost.

Also, you can’t really project something you’ve never experienced . . . just sayin.

He didn’t offer a ton of analysis, mostly just conclusory statements about how talented he believes OSU to be. That I really don’t mind as he is basically an OSU guy — though he does vastly overstate how great they the team is overall, imo. My issue is how he handled himself — constantly...

Ari Wasserman on Sampson’s podcast is an absolute jackass. I’d never heard him before, but obnoxious and cringey as F. Low rent dude— I hope that’s the last time he is on their show.

If you haven’t lived in Ohio, this is a worthy read. It’s spot on. https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/columns/2024/12/10/ohio-state-football-fans-want-nothing-but-perfection-and-that-is-sad-ryan-day-michigan/76859249007/

This is the only thread that matters to me through gameday. If Spindler can get anywhere near 85% and Jagusah can move to LT then we are in good shape. CJ is a better option at LT for this game than Knapp, imo. Love close to 100% and the team rested and recovered from sickness and the...

It’s a really good defense, but not a ton of truly elite talent — Caleb Downs is about it. This chart would look the same for us absent injuries. Their defense reminds me a lot of the ND 2012 defense — a lot a really veteran college players with a couple of stars sprinkled in. Its certainly...

Agree completely. No problem with OSU as favorites, but this is definitely a winnable game if we execute.

In every game they played that was competitive (Oregon, Nebraska, Michigan, Texas) opposing D held their running game in check and made Howard beat them through the air. They are easier to defend if you know they have to pass. I hope we take the same approach. Their running game is gettable...

It’s very tribal for the OSU fanbase. OSU football animates a significant portion of meaning in the lives of central Ohioans — this is especially true for Ohioans who did not even go to OSU — and they are very defensive about it. In fairness, as an Ohio State graduate and Columbus resident for...

I think human nature dictates that ND would play more confidently against Texas, seeing as they lost to Georgia twice. To me, that is worth a lot at this point in the season.

Even if all Texas accomplishes in this game is stealing some of the OSU offensive mojo that’s a win. OSU is a team that runs on emotion and even a little self-doubt could go a long way. OSU does not have ND culture.

Well, this would be Freeman’s 4th consecutive year facing it, that should help mitigate some of his scheme.

So, fans can just pay players directly? If so, that is truly sad.

I think the dam breaks a bit for both defenses in this one. ND 34-21. Faison and Evans catch TDs.

Different strokes for different folks, I can agree to disagree. I just don’t see a program that is at the same level as ND, Oklahoma, or Alabama all-time. And the past twenty years shows why. I’ll put it this way, then let it go — Tim Duncan had consistently great numbers throughout his...

Fair. I think the one factor that I couldn’t identify is that they have never really had a dynasty — a period where there were the dominant program. They always seem to be 3rd or 4th best, which does result in some gaudy stats over time. I think I just need to see a dynasty from my blue bloods.

They definitely have stats, no question. But, those are somewhat inflated, imo, because over the past 20 years they have often feasted on a weak Big 10. During that stretch they have not been a better program than Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, or even Florida St. They pile up wins...

I just do not consider OSU a blue-blood. Too much success is recent and they just lack something that is hard to define . . . it’s just a very Mickey Mouse program. Also, worst fanbase in sports.
