Take away the 75 yard TD run against OU and Haynes has 18 carries for 50 yards. If you can stop the long runs from happening their run game is very underwhelming

Thats been their offense for years, and something OSU has had issues with the past few seasons. A few open field tackles and OSU has at least 2 wins in The Game. Haynes is going to be their workhorse it seems all year and Moore will run a similar offense to when McCarthy was there because of having a frosh QB. The OC, Longo's best ever offense he ran has been a 2023 UNC team with Drake Maye and Omarion Hampton and still could only go 8-5. And this scUM team has no dangerous WRs, only TEs as a perimeter threat and 1 RB in Haynes. Good luck keeping Underwood for 3yrs in an offense that will make him regress. They have 3 WRs coming in 2026 class, with 2 being worth anything. And the class is led by Savion Hiter. Who will probably be battling Jordan Marshall for RB1

I just don't see it. Nebraska, USC, and Sparty aren't the teams we think of - Dr. Tom Osborne, John McKay, and Duffy Daugherty level teams - when we see those names on a schedule. Then again, I don't exactly see Schembechler-level talent on the Michigan sidelines.

I hope youre kidding, because im not sure why you would use coaches from ancient history to be a barometer for a current team.... And you forgot that Washington could very well also be a tough out for them as well. A talented balanced offense, could give scUM fits. USC also has the best team arguably of Rileys tenure in USC and looks similar to his teams from Oklahoma. And Little brother could always play them tough and force them to make Underwood beat them with his arm.

Gang, the tickets are still available. 13 days to go!!!!! :)

They are listed on Stubhub Section 21, Row 16. That pic is below. Can't beat the view!! I'd rather sell them here for $2000 each. That way we both save on Stubhub fees but more importantly, a Buckeye gets the tickets, not a scalper. Let me know.

Go Bucks!!

Just sayin': FWIW, in looking at the 2025 pricing chart for public sale of season tickets..

21C is in zone 3

See seating chart: https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/documents/2024/11/22/OhioStadium_SeatContributionChart_2025.pdf

and the zone 3 season ticket package is ($1073 + a $500 contibition =) $1573 per ticket for the public. Active faculty/staff pay ($867 + a $400 contribution =) $1267 per ticket.

See pricing: https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/documents/2024/11/22/2025_Football_Season_Proration_v1.pdf

I don't know if retired faculty get the faculty price or have have to pay the public price. However, I'm pretty sure that he didn't pay any more than the public price of $1573 per ticket; i.e. either way he's scalping them.

Since you are the recognized expert on butts (i.e. anal) here on Buckeye Planet; I'll take your word for it.

Be that as it may, it seems like Larry Ellison increasing his net worth by $100 billion overnight is an issue that may significantly affect college football. If he wants to treat the Michigan football team as his pet project going forward (or his wife after that old man passes), a drop in the bucket to Ellison would single-handedly create a payroll with which no other college football team could compete.

Click to expand...

Just sayin': It could very well be a future issue. Larry Ellison the richest man in the world is 81 years old. His current and 6th wife (i.e. Jolin Zhu) who he married in 2023 is the avid scUM fan and she is only 47 years old. Considering Ellison's marriage history:

Adda Quinn (m. 1967; div. 1974)
Nancy Wheeler Jenkins (m. 1977; div. 1978)
Barbara Boothe (m. 1983; div. 1986)
Melanie Craft (m. 2003; div. 2010)
Nikita Kahn (m. 2010; div. 2020)
Jolin (Keren) Zhu (m. 2023)

With a man of Ellison's wealth and marriage history; I'll say the current wife signed an "ironclad" prenuptial agreement. She'll get something; but I'm guessing that the bulk of his estate will probably go to his 2 children (i.e. David and Megan) that he had with Barbara Boothe.

This scUM team has shown nothing. Maybe if they beat the breaks off of New Mexico and then played a actual real close game with Oklahoma I could see making that argument.

Instead New Mexico had the ball near midfield only down 10 in the 4th quarter. And the Oklahoma game was nowhere near as close as the score. OU made a handful of mistakes, mostly self inflicted ,that kept scUM from getting blown out

76-5 *
59-7
77-21 *
52-6
56-0


These are the scores when Ryan Day has played a MAC team. The ones with * are MAC teams that went on to win the MAC. Miss me with this "{enter MAC team here} will make Ohio State sweat" narrative that happens every year.

That's an absurd way to look at teams. All 3 should beat this garbage ass Michigan team.

Fuck the Michitwat and all Michitwats.

That said as a blanket statement, he's good on TV, he's kind of like Dustin Fox style-wise, only Dustin calls a lot of lower-league games and isn't on BTN. But in terms of listening to a game call, I'm good with both of them.

Don’t fall for it. It’s all a setup so they can yank the football from in front of us again.

USC definitely has more talent than scUM.

Corn and Sparty it's closer to equal. I'm not sure Sparty will pull it off but Corn is @ Corn and scUM has a lame duck interim coach. Corn is winning that game

Q.5 It is well known that Paul Newman attended, but did not graduate from Ohio University. Three of the four celebrities below followed Newman’s footsteps by attending OU, but not graduating from the University. Who is the person below that never attended Ohio University?

Arsenio Hall (The Arsenio Hall Show)
Ed O’Neill (Married With Children)
✓Jan-Michael Vincent (Airwolf)
Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver)

Just sayin': Who knew Al Bundy attended OU?

I hate reading this stuff. The deception that "college football" exists just can't be sustained. This is NFL Lite.
