2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

Buckeyeskickbuttocks
Glad I dont watch pregame shows anymore. I mean, whats the point? Last I saw, they were light on analysis, as an industry standard not just the fine folks at ESPiN. Heavy on hype, which im just not interested in. So... I could give a shit who the personnel is gonna be.

If I had my way, every game would be broadcast in the spider cam view they had during the play offs. And nothing but the stadium announcer calling down and distance. Color commentary? We'll, I guess that depends on your guests and ones willingness to engage jn conversation during a game, I spoze.

To your point, how do teams practice all year for one way and then have to adjust immediately for another set of rules come playoff time.

This reeks of somebody influential complaining loudly in the off season and my guess would be Steve Sarkesian, Hugh Freeze or Josh Heupel

Or... the officials are used to certain rules, and come playoff time, they are used to those rules and need to remember that those rules are different in some Big Ten vs ACC game.
Ha - remember when Indiana got penalized for a late hit out of bounds, even though the Notre Dame quarterback hadn't yet gone out of bounds? I know I'm changing subjects, but that was stupid.

Can a conference change a National rule? My guess as to why is that offsides gets called for the slightest twitch and possibly kills too many drives. Fans want scoring. Unless it’s the wrong team scoring.

We weren't the only ones. USC and Minnesota off the top of my head. They literally could only do one thing....stop the interior run. And that's including on offense.

Exactly, the only thing scUM had going for them last year was the power to somehow make teams go full stupid on offense against them.

There's no almost. The entire game plan was totally inexplicable. We refused to attack their weakness and played into their one strength pretty much all day long. I will never not be bitter about that game. They were in Day's head, okay; but why didn't Chip, his supposed mentor, talk some fucking sense into him? Ugh.

Seeing what an unpopular and unprofessional trainwreck Desmond is, why on earth would they bring on their own version of him.

They're bringing him in to be their own version of McAfee, not Desmond.

The problem here though is that Portnoy is the worst versions of both of them.

And somehow they thought it would be a good idea to bring him on despite Columbus carrying their water.

Truly a baffling decision. What Ohio State fan is ever going to watch that show now? And I cannot even imagine the reception they're going to get each time they come to Columbus over the next 5 years. Urban is not going to be enough.

2026 CA QB Luke Fahey is a Buckeye!!!

buckeyemania11

ALPHA DOG: QB LUKE FAHEY
It's always kind of cliche to give the Alpha Dog (top performer) following a 7v7 tournament to the winning team's quarterback but in this case, Fahey was more than deserving. When you're standing behind him in the pocket and can see how quickly he's processing what he's seeing, how quickly he gets through progressions and how early and on time he throws, it's next level.

The Ohio State commit rarely misses and has an advanced feel for how to play the position. He never looks nervous or flustered and orchestrated a text book 2-minute drill in the Diablos exciting semi-final win over a talented Los Angeles (Calif.) Cathedral team, throwing the game winning touchdown on the final play of the game.

A word we use a lot with Fahey is, 'surgical,' and we'll keep coming back to it because that's exactly what he looks like as a quarterback. He's able to carve up any defense with his precision passes, can make every throw on the field and he has really stepped up as a leader this off-season as well.

Hey, if it had worked it would have been brilliant and would have crushed Sharonna's soul. It, however, was clear halfway through the first quarter that it was not going to work. There should have been a backup plan to light up the passing game, and that switch should have been made. Instead, Day doubled and tripled down on what was clearly going to be a losing strategy.

Hopefully playoff Day is here to stay and getting over the national title hump will keep him from going into a stupid john cooper esque shell in The Game.

I'm hoping that was the confidence boost he desperately needed. There's a GREAT coach in there...it takes a great coach to run that gauntlet with that all on the line. But he HAS to get over his scUM bugaboo.
