    Ohio State got screwed

    Exactly lol that was my point. We struggled with that all year and again last week. It’s a huge reason we didn’t deserve to be in the playoff. It would have taken that type of performance to convince the committee we were a complete team, but we aren’t, and that’s ok. 12-1, B1G champs, and...

    Ohio State got screwed

    As an OSU fan, we don’t belong in a playoff. We don’t deserve it. I would have loved it, but you can’t lose by 30 to a mediocre team and be as inconsistent as we were and expect to be top 4. Hell, the B1G champ game was our season in a microcosm. Drive killing penalties, some struggles in the...

    The Truth About OSU: It has been outscored on the road

    Definitely outscored on the road when counting TCU as a neutral site game, which it was, kinda. More OSU fans than TCU fans despite being a wee bit closer to TCU than Columbus. But this is also a neutral site game, not a road game, and will also be significantly more buckeye friendly than not...

    Mike Hall's Take

    Urban’s been relaxed since the week after Nebraska. Not sure what happened, after the bye week and ensuing game, but it’s been a different urban, a different Haskins (willing to run), and more confidence all around. Unfortunately, that hasn’t fixed a porous defense lol but hey, as urban loves to...

    Urban's game plan dilemma

    I took the point as either urban settles for high 20s, low 30s and a sure win or tries to force 50+. I take @klemman’s point to be that you can still score a lot of points and end up with a blowout even if you aren’t playing for a blowout each possession.

    Urban's game plan dilemma

    Michigan is #1, MSU 13, PSU 35th, NW 48th. Both of those games were on the road. One a White out and Haskins first road start. The other also had high winds. Neither of those will be a factor tomorrow. And no. NW is not on par with either of those either. On the other hand, I’m also realistic...

    Urban's game plan dilemma

    It’s the same offense they’ve ran all year to to tune of 45+ points per game on average. OSU doesn’t need huge plays and deep balls to score quickly and efficiently.

    Urban's game plan dilemma

    Definitely dink and dunk. It’s been Haskins MO all year. His shots down field are calculated and fairly rare. If NW comes out in cover 4, expect short to mid zone beaters all night. Unlike an Oklahoma, OSU is perfectly content going on 7-10 play drives. In the first half against Michigan, OSU...

    Urban's game plan dilemma

    OSU didn’t necessarily throw the a lot of vertical routes against Michigan. It was a lot of crossing routes and underneath routes that took advantage of yards after the catch. The second TD was about 26 yards and the only other throw down the field that was completed was a wide open TD from...

    Chappy breaks down the B1G title game

    Do not worry about the return game. It’s one of the worst in the country. We’ve been fair catching kickoffs for a while and only average like 4-5 yards per PR.

    How many fans will NU have in Indy?

    Highly doubt 1/6 of the crowd will be indifferent in rooting interest. It's not a super bowl where it's a fairly corporate crowd. I expect very few non-OSU/NW fans.

    Exaggeration/hyperbole lol

    An inside look at big, bad Ohio State

    Noon is about as far from arrogant as you can get.

    How many fans will NU have in Indy?

    Ok ok lol it was probably 2-3k. Which is still silly. I was there as well, though didn’t feel it necessary to wear an OSU jersey. My point stands. that many OSU fans have their tickets early and just assume the team will be playing in Indy lol

    How many fans will NU have in Indy?

    It will be less. Many of us (OSU fans), renew our tickets each year. If you bought them previously through the B1G, they give the opportunity to purchase the same seats in February. OSU fans are also very willing to pay premium secondary prices. If it seats 67,000 for football games, there will...
