2026 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, Arrogant Twatwaffles, Emasculated Cucks, Feckless Marmots, Dirty Cheaters "Mid"chigan

How is it possible that Underwood has managed to regress? He was crappy last year but he's actually fucking worse this year
Maybe paying a high school kid ridiculous money for no reason has consequences? Especially at a place whose culture it is to believe that merely being at scUM makes you a winner.

Like many have stated, coach Whitt is a placeholder to make sure no dumb shit happens. Those idiots need to pull the plug on Whit and identify a modern coach up to speed with this game. Michigan has the resources and money to be a consistent top 10 team. The good news is that they keep fucking it up and I hope they do for the next 100 years.

WR Jeremiah Smith (All B1G, B1G Freshman of Year, B1G WR of Year, Unanimous All-American, 2025 Rose Bowl Off MVP, National Champion)

Google AI: Stating true facts about your own achievements is not bragging if you have actually done the work to prove it.
Origins of the Phrase
    • Dizzy Dean: The famous baseball pitcher said, "If you can do it, it ain't bragging," before the 1934 season.
    • Muhammad Ali: The legendary boxer popularized the phrase, often phrased as "It's not bragging if you can back it up".
    • Other Legends: Similar versions are credited to Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra, and Reggie Jackson.
Just sayin': Yeah, he's the best player in college football; and (so far) this season with the stats he has put up, he should be the Heisman frontrunner. However, do you think he's over doing it in hyping himself?.....:thinking:

Jeremiah Smith Declares He's The 'Best Player' In College Football​

"You've just got to [let] the Heisman voters or whoever it is know that I'm the best player in the country," Smith said, via Adam Rittenberg of ESPN. "I've got to be there."

51-7 or worse this week.

JJ probably only plays a half. Need Henry, Mcuin, Inniss and White Lightning to have their best games going forward. Oline build on this week's good performance. Needs to be moving towards great quickly.

We've also got this 1 last week to fix the run fits, the shitty tackling and the ridiculous mental mistakes on Defense. After this week they'll cost us wins. Get it fixed! Pass rush was a hell of a lot better this week but still not great either.

Ohio State Dominates No. 14 Iowa, 31-14, to Start October with Statement Win​

Login to view embedded media
Ohio State started its monster month of October with a statement win on the road.

The Buckeyes dominated No. 14 Iowa at Kinnick Stadium, 31-14, to earn their first road win and first ranked win of the season.
In its first trip to Iowa City since its 55-24 loss to the Hawkeyes in 2017, Ohio State got revenge in blowout fashion. Another record-setting day by Jeremiah Smith led the Buckeyes to victory, as Smith became Ohio State’s all-time leader in receptions and receiving touchdowns in the process of catching 11 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns, also making him the first-ever Ohio State receiver with back-to-back 200-yard games.

With the win, the fifth-ranked Buckeyes improved to 4-1 on the season and 2-0 in Big Ten play, starting their toughest month of the 2026 season exactly the way they needed to.

Key Moments​

Q1, 14:19: Buckeyes force fumble on second play​

The Buckeyes got the ball in the red zone just two plays into the game when Kenyatta Jackson Jr. strip-sacked Hank Brown and Christian Alliegro recovered the ball at the 14-yard line.

Q1, 13:24: McCuin scores 15-yard touchdown​

Ohio State scored its first touchdown of the game on just its second offensive play as Iowa left Devin McCuin wide open over the middle of the field and Julian Sayin, with plenty of time to throw, found him for a 15-yard score.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

9 plays, 90 yards, 1:05
4 plays, 49 yards, :39
4 plays, 85 yards, :20
10 plays, 75 yards, 1:17
9 plays, 84 yards, 1:36

I don’t even know what to make of that stat. It’s like it’s a completely different team in those last 2 minutes. They can look uninspired and disinterested for the first 28 minutes and then suddenly flip a switch.

Just sayin': It would be interesting to know if the opposition changed their defense alignment for our final drives of the 1st halves. Did they go into some form of the so called "prevent defense*" and have it backfire on them?

*The prevent defense is a football strategy that p[laces extra defensive backs deep downfield to stop long touchdowns and run out the clock, even if it means giving up short, easy gains.

How It Works
    • Deep Alignment: Cornerbacks and safeties line up far behind the line of scrimmage, acting as a final safety net so no receiver can get behind them.
    • Fewer Pass Rushers: The defense rushes only three or four linemen, keeping more players back in pass coverage (often called umbrella coverage).
    • Trading Yards for Time: The defense willingly allows short passes or runs in exchange for the offense wasting precious seconds and staying in bounds

Ohio State is a 35-Point Favorite Over Maryland​

Ohio State's second Big Ten home game isn't expected to be a close one.

The Buckeyes have opened as 37.5-point favorites over Maryland, a number that has fallen to 35.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook and 34.5 on FanDuel.

Ohio State is 4-1 on the season and also 4-1 against the spread, including 2-1 ATS at home. The only time the Buckeyes haven't covered this season was in their 42-19 win over Illinois in Week 4, a game OSU was favored by 25.5 points.

Maryland, meanwhile, is 2-3 on the season and 2-3 ATS, including 1-1 ATS on the road. The Terrapins have not covered in each of their last three games (all losses) after covering the spread in (and winning) their first two games of the season.

In Week 4, Maryland lost to UCLA, 54-3, in a game the Terrapins were only 1.5-point underdogs. The 49.5-point swing is one of the largest in history. Maryland has lost 10 straight Big Ten games after winning their conference opener over Wisconsin on Sept. 20, 2025.

The over/under opened at 54.5 points overnight, which quickly rose to 55.5 points, where it currently stands.

Just sayin': That comes out to around a 45 -10 Ohio State win......:boogie:

Improving but I hated those calls early in the 3rd on 3rd and 1. Don't get the first and turns the ball over on downs. Bad play calling sometimes. Smith has to quit being too cute.
Yep, I was all "3rd and 1, our nemesis" and everyone started to question me. I said, "just wait, we're probably chucking a 40 yard pass down the sideline." And that's what happened. Then on 4th and 1 I said "well, this will probably fail, too, because we can't be bothered to take the snap under center."....
