I didn't watch the 2nd half. Is Allar out for this, are we waiting to see, or is he fine?

Will Hoban be a bridesmaid again this year?

Kinda tired of that fucking movie. I've seen it too many times.

D1 Region 3 is going to be fun to see how it shakes out. 13 teams with 6-4 or better records (and like 9 of them are 8-2)....

Never seen D1 and every region be such a toss up as it is this year. There is no team you can call a true favorite anywhere among them. Should make for a very fun and chaotic first round....I could see a 1/16 upset with Mentor (1) vs. St. Ignatius (16). They played early this season and Mentor won by only 6 and while they are 10-0 it's been against a relative cake walk. R3 is the best region by a fair amount in D1 imo.

Really hope this season isn’t derailed by coaching issues.

10 targets..he’s elite.

The overarching goal of this season is to beat *ichigan.

Yeah, I know, "loaded" roaster, Natty run, etc etc.

No... Beat those fucks up North, get the world back on its correct axis and let's go from there.


That said, I'm starting to have both a vision and a concern. The concern is that Ryan Day isn't the head coach we need. The vision, I suppose similar to Cooper, is that a win over scUM saves his job as we continue to limp forward.

Aside, well played by Nebraska. Matt Rule is a good coach, who got a raw deal in Carolina. They're a program back on the rise.

This week’s games will be posted by sometime on Tuesday.

If you believe a mistake has been made, please @BB73 in this thread or send me a PM.

1. Offense - The playcalling is horrid.

How many times did you watch this:
1st down-incomplete deep ball
2nd down-run into the middle of the line for no gain
3rd down- let’s see if we can pull something out of our ass.

You have to be more balanced. You have to try establish the run. You can’t tell me this offensive line that is loaded with supposedly first day NFL draft picks can’t run block. You have to change the scheme or something. If you throw it 50 times a game, an inaccurate QB like Nuss, who still throws off his back foot, is going to run into a couple interceptions. It’s the law of averages.

2. Defense- I give Baker a lot of credit. This defense looks light years better than last year. But the second half was alarming. I get the first drive..you didn’t expect that QB, etc. But by the second drive, third drive, fourth drive, you are telling me he can’t make an adjustment? Scary with Milroe coming to town.

3. Special Teams- Fire everyone associated with it. Kelly should be ashamed to put that on the field. And the punter should be on the bench. No telling how many yards he costs LSU.

Chalk up another state championship for Marion Local in DVII. The only question is if any opponent will score on them.

Really hope this season isn't derailed by O Line issues.

Happy for the win... GO BUCKS!! They sure aren't playing like a #4 team, very disappointing.
GO BUCKEYES!!

If you knew Zen was bad..I assume the players knew too and maybe were panicking a little.

I disagree. No one is saying we rank teams by this, that's non sequitur, and a straw man argument.

What I am saying is at times you can tell if a team is down in morale by their body language, and then the play shows this to be true. It's not really that hard to figure out.

I know exactly what you're saying....I'm not straw manning you. I'm saying it's the same thing as ESPN's made up reasons why 8 SEC teams are in the top 5.

It's not hard to figure out, it's just silly. Did Jeremiah Smith have good body language when he torched everyone for that TD? Was Zen's body language bad when he stood up and looked lost on.....*checks notes*....every play? No, the players executed on good plays, and didn't on bad ones. "Body language" is like 5000th on the list of what's wrong with this team. And I don't mean there's a lot of things wrong with this team.

It appears I missed a little bit when I turned it off to save my ears from hearing their fight song.

Speaking of which, where are the warbling asspelicans like Rich Eisen now? Sees like he was popping up on my feed every week yammering on about Michigan like he just remembered where it was. Now, curiously, he seems to have slithered back into his excrement-filled miasma just as fast as he emerged from it.

You had me at warbling asspelicans.

Mike80 said:

I mean, their running backs are supposedly so great and shit - go triple option.

They don't have a QB who can make those reads.

Who has confidence that OSU pulls a win out in Happy Valley? I am not feeling so good. This is not time to break in a new OT.

Buckeyes will win in a classic heart attack game.

LeBron was in basketball nirvana last night. Worth checking out the highlights

State Penn had some injuries to key players last night. McMoxie #8 for them came in.
