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

Valenti had a segment on your Mt Rushmore of hate. Obviously, Simple Jim immediately jumped to mind, and he was such an overwhelming choice (all the way back to 86) that I actually struggled to think of three more. Best I could do is Doug "Boner Pill" Flutie for stealing Byers' Heisman.

In the end:
Simple Jim
Flutie
Max Verstappen
John Cooper
I'm a Max fan so. Definitely the best driver in Formula 1 his car sucks this year though.

2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

I'm ok with guys learning on the job and they'll blow coverages and assignments until they get it right. It happens but do it at 100 miles an hour.

What I was losing my shit over was when we had guys there to make the play and then they somehow break it open for a huge gain. Wtf was that?? That's not our Defense. It seems that they aye getting bogged down with paralysis by analysis and failed to finish.

We had great upperclassmen last year so the complicated levels of the Defense is likely 90% the reason the new faces are struggling. Hopefully it all slows way down for them soon.
Yeah there were a number of big runs specifically where it seemed like there was no where to go but somehow he’d pop out the other side

Game Thread tOSU at Iowa, Sat. Oct. 3rd, 3:30 pm ET, CBS

Early line is OSU -14.5

Not sure I like that.

Fanduel Sportsbook has the Buckeyes as 14.5-point favorites as they travel to Iowa City to take on the Hawkeyes. The game total opens at 44.5 points.

Just sayin': The bookies think the final score will be something close to 30 - 15 Ohio State

2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

Skimming the early comments from coaches, they may very well be intentionally running a deep rotation to set up for the long haul.

If it works and you get to the playoffs with a deeper, experienced pool of players that are playing at a higher level-then I guess it's worth some September angst.

If it works. Not going to be easy on the eyes until then.
