I'll buy new when I land. I don't own a lot of short pants as the kids say

I’m going to address the elephant. Am I the only one who’s wondering what happened to Burke?

Sorry. Thought we were talking points. Disregard last post

I still haven't listened to it but it must have been pretty fucking bad from what I'm reading here.

If it's in the same weight class as that 2004 Alamo Bowl hatchet job then, wow.

The post game was fucking worse.

He never really bothered me much until lately to be honest. The dog thing struck a nerve with me I guess so whatever but the humidor leading up to, during and after that game was absolutely ridiculous. Unimaginable that an alumnus, at any school, and a football player no less, would say so much negative horseshit about their school during a playoff game on television. That's twice!

Honestly don't know how Zack can handle it.

Saw him mixing it up with Tenn DL. Love those former wrestling OL

I'd love for you to be right, but you're wrong. He didn't "survive the ground". You need to possess the ball for more than just a moment, in bounds or out. I don't think anyone is arguing that Smith had a touchdown reception.
I think I disagree with the call that it was an interception. The defender's fingers had it with his toe down, but he didn't have it until his toe was up.
And I definitely disagree with the non-call of pass interference. That was just a terrible miss by the referee(s).

JJ had both hands on the ball and then use right hand to raise it away from the interfering defender when the knock loosen the ball. Anyway, that’s what i saw.

Still a good play from Will and JJ. No complain about them.

A healthy, fresh, strong, determined Luke is just what the doctor ordered.

Cecconi seems like Cleveland's type of pitcher. Good control and a plus secondary pitch. Given that five of his outings came against the Padres and Dodgers, plus he was absolutely slaughtered overall at the hitter-friendly Chase Field and I'm willing to give him a pass on his terrible 2024 numbers.


The way I see it, worst case scenario you made a 1-for-1 swap of Santana for Naylor while Cecconi doesn't figure it out and cost you the difference in a CB-Round B pick and a Rev Sharing Comp pick (~30 to 35 pick difference). Totally worth the risk considering Naylor's 2nd half numbers and Cecconi looking like the standard sprinkle some Cleveland pitching fairy dust on him and he turns into another, "Where did this guy come from!?"

As of this date 5 years ago, Fields had thrown 40 TDs with only 1 interception, and had 10 rushing TDs.

You 're right I will take the L there. First year Fields was other worldly he came back down to earth a bit covid thought not his fault with how funky that year was.

Thanks guys for the info . It's always nice to see the team improving and growing . Looking forward to another season of Buckeyes
dominance on the mats!

well, yeah, but… we’re going up against oregon next, hence my concern about gabriel’s slipperiness. we haven’t done well this year with slippery quarterbacks who are able to step up into the pocket and scramble out.

our lb’s are doing a better job of containing the qb scrambles, and the backs are coming in for support. but the backs likely will not be able to do that against oregon.

so maybe it just comes down to how much our lb’s have improved since we played in eugene.

This game was a total warmup for Oregon. Difference will be the accuracy of Gabriel and the talent of WRs. You can see the strategy working though. Gabriel ain't getting up from all the hits Nick took either

i’ve always said proximity is definitely a factor.
and i’m shocked that there has never been a huge public push from cities like Indy, Detroit, or Minneapolis to get into the playoff rotation.

and by public i mean scream it from the rooftops that you want in.

We (nerds on Buckeye Planet) have been pushing for that since the start of the playoffs.
"Oh, let's make these at neutral sites. Hey! We already have a bunch of neutral sites in the bowl games. Let's play the playoffs at the bowl games. That way, we maintain that we actually care about the fake history that is the bowl system."
"But those bowl games are all in the south and west. What about something in the midwest?"
"There are no major bowl games in the midwest."
"They don't have to be in fuckin' bowl games! Play in Indy, Detroit, or Minneapolis."
"Nah."

I think I am still shocked that they made Tennessee go north to the cold. I predicted (wrongly, I admit) that some magic would always keep the big southern teams from coming north. Maybe the committee didn't have enough magic to switch Ohio State with Tennessee in the rankings.

It was funny/ shocking on the Hendo first breakout when Monty ape fucked the DL to spring him, right at the cut Don was about to take on the LB and got ran the fuck over. I was like Holy shit he got trucked. Just ironic on a play that was so full of greatness

Broome played, and Auburn cruised to victory. I hate to say it but Auburn looks like a team that will be in the mix at the end of the year.

Yep saw that in the highlights. They were talking like he was going to miss a few games beforehand. They are a really good team

i truly hope one day we can get a home and home again with tOSU.

i will do everything in my power to attend both games.

I'm in!

Buckeyes evened up the all-time record against Ky at 11-11. There aren’t too many teams that have played them 10+ times without trailing in the series head-to-head.

4. Ohio State continues to be a UK nemesis. With Ohio State’s upset win, the Buckeyes have now tied the all-time series with Kentucky at 11.

The Buckeyes are 3-0 vs. the Wildcats in CBS Sports Classic games. In the last three meetings between the teams, OSU has beaten UK teams ranked No. 4 (2015-16), No. 6 (2019-20) and No. 4 (this year).

OK, I looked up the losing record thing. These current Division I schools are included:

18-25 vs. N. Carolina
08-09 vs. St. Louis
11-11 vs. Ohio State
08-08 vs UCLA

Welcome back, big guy!
