Is This The Best OSU Team Ever?

Bugs me that OSU's best teams seem to come up short more often than not.

Every natty in my lifetime faced some ridiculous amount of adversity. No one expected 02, 14, or 24 (at least after the Michigan game), the irony.

Cause honestly, gun to my head, id probably pick 2019 and 1998 over any of those teams in a vacuum.
Yup. It’s why if 2025 wins it all I’d probably pick them. They’d be the first juggernaut OSU squad to win it all in years.

That's the thing though, the path to victory against 2019 was so insanely narrow. Think about what needed to happen for Clemson to eke out that win. Fields came into that game injured, OSU had a collective off day in terms of execution, Dobbins gets injured, OSU lost the turnover battle 2-0, AND there was blatant ref fuckery that took what would've been the game winning score off the board. This is against a loaded Clemson squad mind you. It basically took an act of God to hand 2019 their only loss.

The path to victory against 2025 isn't nearly as narrow. Sayin having an off day, special teams fuckery or multiple awful turnovers would probably enough to cost the team.
I never thought of the now-fired replay dude in Birmingham as a deity, he was more like the devil to me.

Game Thread Penn State at #1 tOSU, Sat. Nov. 1st, 12pm ET, FOX

I get some of us (myself included) bitching when we lost the 2019 Clemson game because of the refs. It was a one score game.

But when you lose by 24 points? Yeah I don’t get that.

I’m not a gambler, except in the BP Sportsbook. But IF I had bet cash on a game the thought of an extra TD might impact how I felt about the zebra decisions!

and I always forget to add the 2015 team to the conversation

Coaching let that team down, not talent

I disagree. With a defense this good they have some wiggle room. 2019 is a great comp, but I do think this defense is more loaded top to bottom.

Running game I agree with. Fields could get 100 any game he wanted and Dobins was a Junior. By his junior year Jackson will be as good as Dobins, but not this year.

I made this thread to try to appreciate what we are watching here. The seasons seem to be flying by faster and faster for me. We already played 8 games!! I still don't know how to comprehend that our qb has a 80+ completion % through 8 games. Its not possible. Throwaways should take you that low. Just tring to appreciate it. This is a special year and these kids are still hungry.

FUCK MICHIGAN

I remember a couple of interviews of the family at the time and they were very vocal about not wanting to sue the school/church so I have never seen an NDA where a pissed off participant actually goes out of their way to speak on the counter parties behalf. You 100% want people to not speak/do interviews/say anything at all just because you never know what they might say by accident or how it could come out.

I'll just say they struck me as believers

All true..at that time, and as far I’ve seen nobody has heard from them since. Lots of folks initially don’t want to file claims. Smart insurance adjusters circle back around after the dust settles and try to make a quiet, reasonable (to the insurance company) deal. Did that happen here? I have no hard facts to say it did. But it certainly shouldn’t surprise anyone if it did. Also, if a quiet deal was reached I would be happy for the family. They deserved something for their loss and what they went through. It won’t bring their son back, but it’s all they can be offered.

Yeah I can’t pretend to rank them before The Game. Period. The only teams or players in my G.O.A.T. conversation win The Game. National Championship is important too but not a deal breaker. I will say they are if they whoop tsun. So far there is a different feeling about this team, to me. They are methodical. This group goes to work on opponents. Puch clock, whoop ass, punch out. I love it.
