This whole thread needs to renamed the Dale Gribble Asinine Conspiracy Thread.

And we all know at least one Dale Gribble.

Their schedule this year:

They play their first non-conference road game in 7 years when they go to Oklahoma just before Moore’s suspension starts.

They play only 1 team that won more than 7 games last year. If you don’t realize who that is, you‘re on the wrong board.

Fuck these cheating pricks.

As long as we’re hanging loss number 3 or more on their sorry asses in November …..

Fuck em!

They walk with the cheating scum they can burn right along with them.

Damnit that hit me dead in the feels

For all the talk about Arch this game likely comes down to basic things. We have the advantage being at home so we just need to not hurt ourselves. No turnovers, make your tackles, don’t try to do too much, and absolutely no costly penalties.

In the sugar bowl we had at least 3 promising drives crushed by penalties. We can’t do that. It nearly cost us that game (and consequently the title) and obviously this game is no different.

Other than that it’s about the LOS. This OL returning 4 starters from the playoffs did pretty well vs this Texas defensive line. While Texas has 2 edge guys that are good they did lose their interior so we should be just fine considering the matchups are pretty similar to last years game.

Where this game is likely won or lost is our defensive line. They lost all their offensive line starters (returning only 1) but then again we lost all 4 starters. This is the most interesting matchup of this game. Of course I trust our starters more than I do theirs but who knows. Can our guys control their gaps, can they be disruptive, and can we get after the QB?

Because if our DL answers the bell I think this back 7 for OSU on defense is better than last year. Maybe we won’t be game 1 but by mid season no doubt. Texas isn’t as good as last year at their skill and I don’t care what their experts think (painful listening to them). So if our DL can get after Arch and their lesser skill is trying to get free of our (likely) better secondary I will like our chances.

But no pressure from the front likely means blitzing more which might lead to a mistake for a young team. Interested to see how things go. What I will say as a last thing is all reports have been that this Texas OL has had trouble all off season giving Arch any time to throw. I think they’re the weakest unit in this game for either side. Hopefully we can take care of business.

Are we going to land anyone else or what? Absolutely bizarre cycle. Is this NSD about to be insane?

Yes, but I expect the class to close with local in state or diamonds in the rough. So there probably won’t be any commits for a while due to further evaluation

4 games back in the race for the final Wild Card spot. Still an outside chance to slip into the playoffs via that route but odds are really low they can still clinch the division as they are 11.5 games back with 30ish games left.

I sure hope Cooper Ingle makes the roster next season as it would be nice to get some hitting out of the catch position.

Here are 7 Buckeyes who wore the number 7 for the scarlet and grey. The first five of them have a last name that starts with the 7th letter of the alphabet.

Much like Kirk Herbstreit accomplishing the near impossible by causing me to have negative feelings towards golden retrievers, that woman causes me to have negative feelings towards otherwise good things like biting fish, biscuits, fried chicken and smoked brisket. What a twat.

If you think that's bad, AJ McCarron gave an interview a week or so ago and said the NFL would issue the teams a set amount of merchandise to give to the players but the Browns/Blackburns would only give the players about half of it and then they'd hold a "fan auction" for the rest of it.

Mike Brown is so cheap that he goes to KFC to lick other people’s fingers.

Love the Brian Robinson addition. Presumably Shanahan trusts him enough to play him a fair amount and not have CMC lead the league in touches like he did in '23. I was nervous he wasn't going to trust any of the rookies enough to play them and wear CMC down

Of course none of this will change the fundamental law of humanity, which is: Human beings are hierarchical apes. How that manifests when work isn't available as one fairly useful way of distinguishing oneself from the herd or having a sense of accomplishment will be interesting.
