    A few sites have OSU BY 7 over PSU

    "Waxed" is a bit of an overstatement. The score was tied at the half and OSU was leading until late in the 3rd quarter. OU outscored them 14-3 in the 4th Q and that was the difference. That being said, the new Kevin Wilson offense is clicking MUCH more efficiently than it was in the first two...

    tOSU putting a beat down on NEB.

    More stats from the game - tOSU went 10 of 13 on third down conversions (including the first eight in a row while the first team offense was in the game) while racking up a total of 41 first downs, which is seven more than Neb has given up in one game in the history of the program. J.T...

    The OFFICIAL March 13-14 Winter Weather Thread (This is the B1G 1)

    The answer is don't put any stock in forecasts ten days out. About ten days ago when we were milder than average I looked at the fifteen day extended forecast on my weather app and there were no days with high temps lower than the 50s in the entire forecast, which extended up through the middle...

    Indiana, Ohio State to open 2017 season on Thurs. Aug. 31

    Some history and perspective - this will be the seventh time Ohio State has opened a season on a day other than Saturday, and its third Thursday evening game. OSU's first Thursday night game was vs. Wyoming in 1997, the second was vs. Marshall in 2010.

    If we were Nebraska...

    In a combo of scheduling quirk and bowing to the TV gods, OSU had to play two 8 pm prime time TV games in a row, both on the road, against teams that were coming off a bye week (Wisconsin and PSU). In the second game vs. PSU, even though OSU sleep walked through a sub-par performance in all...

    How did we not schedule Alabama this year?

    UM and tOSU won't both be final 4 teams since one is going to beat the other in late November, and only one can go to the B1G CG and have a chance at being B1G champ.

    OT: Matthew Hurricane

    Not sure what you mean by "really big storms" and how they supposedly used to be rare and now they're "a regular occurrence", but if you're referring to hurricanes striking the US (making landfall), the opposite is true. No major (cat 3 or above) hurricane has made US landfall since 2005, a...

    OSU game was very significant

    NW had a good run in the '90s and a nice year in '95, aside from that embarrassing loss to Miami of Ohio at home in week 2. They were helped tremendously in the '95 Rose Bowl race by Michigan (9-4), Wisconsin (4-5-2), and PSU (9-3) all having rare (for that era) down years, and not having #2...

    What the heck happened to Oregon?

    Oregon is a member of that tier of CFB teams that can make a run at it every once in a while and have some good years where they are ranked up there with the elite, but they can't sustain that high wire act year in and year out. Even in those good years, they do it more by finesse than by depth...

    This is hard to watch

    The stadium was built in the early '20s and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Until an update about 15 years ago (luxury boxes, took out the track, lowered the field, extended the upper deck higher and the lower deck lower, more restrooms, and added a few elevators and escalators)...

    Watching the twitter thread #Rfootball...

    Let's keep things in perspective. What FCS team supposedly gave tOSU "a better game"? They coasted against Bowling Green and still won 77-10, beat Tulsa 48-3, and put up 45 vs. Oklahoma in Norman and at the end took three knees inside OU's 12 to keep from scoring again. None of those are FCS...

    Despite Score, Progress is Evident

    "The final score marks the largest margin of victory in a shutout for OSU since 1980." Against a B1G opponent. They beat Pitt 72-0 in '96.

    I don't know if RU's band is making the trip, but if so, the visiting band typically plays at the Skull Session, too.

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-OHIO STATE PREDICTION THREAD

    The problem is tOSU's "D" can/may/will score a couple of TDs, too. Their D has given up only two TDs in three games so far, and scored four TDs themselves.
