#1 tOSU at Purdue BMW Thread

Don't know how many frosh have played in their fourth game yet, but this would be a great time to exercise the twos. Jump out to a significant lead, and then rest the starters. Or, said another way, try out some OL combos in live fire, instead of 'walk-thrus' during practice. And of course, give the starters some heal up time. I know, I know, they are coming off second 'off' week end before PSU, but still. The PSers are sold, and only without their coach and QB1, the rest are still those that were pre-season #1. Or maybe Day & Co will pad the stats of the 1's, especially Jeremiah and Juilian, who are pushing for Heisman honors, and the rest of the team who have been nominated for post-season honors. Like most of them...Go Bucks!

Game Thread #1 tOSU at Purdue, Sat. Nov. 8th, 1 pm ET, BTN

These games really do feel like scrimmages where we're working out issues with the run game
Not bored, but I know what you mean. I can’t think of another season with complete control in every game. It’s rare to see teams capable of being this deliberate. The schedule isn’t killer and they’re not stacking 50 point blowouts, but the offense is just now flexing the passing game and the defense sits back in zone until they want to dial up a sack.

I don’t think this team (relative to their potential) has played more than a B game all year. That’s a huge compliment, but also doesn’t mean they’ll peak by season’s end. After ‘19, I try not to get my hopes up, but it’s exciting watching them strangle teams every week and see so much left in the tank.
They're a 'boring' dominant team but I haven't been bored watching them. It's honestly been really pleasant. They just go in, handle business, and get out with minimal drama.

2026 AZ OL Aaron Thomas (Minnesota Verbal)

Opining further on JCO's missive, can get Minny's pitch as to playing time, more quickly. And/or 'making up' for tOSU stealing one of their OL. Whatever the reason, it worked, and a real curveball from expectations. Good luck up there, Aaron, make sure your NIL package includes several pair of silk long johns, you'll need them.

Tracking Ohio State’s 2025 Black Stripe Removals​

Ohio State's black stripe tradition is as strong as ever in 2025.
Implemented by Urban Meyer when he first took over as the Buckeyes' head coach in 2012, any new Ohio State players are given a black stripe to wear overtop the typically scarlet one on their helmets. This includes incoming freshmen, transfers and walk-ons.
The black stripe is not removed until that player proves he is willing to put in the work it takes to contribute to one of the nation's top programs and elevated himself enough in practice that coaches take notice. By the tradition, a player is not “officially” a Buckeye until his black stripe is removed.
After redshirt freshmen Miles Lockhart, Dominic Kirks, Simon Lorentz and Eric Mensah, transfers Max Klare and Ethan Onianwa and freshman Quincy Porter got their black stripes removed in the spring, we're here to track all of the Buckeyes who shed theirs this fall.

Black Stripe Removals​

Nov. 5, 2025

Glorien Gough​


The first Buckeye of November to have his black stripe removed was walk-on cornerback Glorien Gough.
A former member of Ohio State’s club football team, Gough is in his second year with the Buckeyes. The Mater Dei alumnus made the first game appearance of his career on kickoff coverage in Ohio State’s 70-0 win over Grambling State in Week 2, and could now be a candidate to push for more playing time on special teams.

Here’s a good one. Call the dealership to get my car in for service. Tell them what’s going on.

“Would you like to get that in for service” :lol:

"No. I thought this was a car owners therapy hotline. I just wanted to tell you about it. I'm going to have it fixed at the other place but I feel a lot better after talking it through with you. Thanks"
