Yep. Say what you want about Hoke, but he always had those fuckers ready play when it came to The Game. Even when they were dogshit the rest of the season.

There can be zero doubt about this. Watching Devin fucking Gardner turn into a real QB the only two times he ever did it in his career left an impression on me.

Using Fan Heart Rate per Game (FHRPG) as my metric this has been the best season in my 50 some odd years of watching.

2002 had a FHRPG score that will never be seen again (at least not by me because I will fucking die).

That season had me smoking cigarettes while saying things like "we're gonna lose to fucking Purdue!"

Not surprised. As Chip is probably one of the few people that he would listen to on something like that

We’ve had 12 inches of snow since Saturday more than the 8 we had all last winter. The 8 was an anomaly every news person said global warming. This year when we have a regular winter I’m going to tell everyone Trump solved global warming just to make everyone’s day. Roflmao.

last winter my home back in Louisiana got 13" of snow over 2 days.
which is more than they've gotten in the previous 60+ years combined.

Im a firm believer in the adage that in order to win a champ you need your seniors (who actually play) to have their best years ever....

So now you are going to have (in no particular order)

MSU
tsun
Iowa
Minny
Wisky
Northwestern
Illinois
Nebraska

All basically be the same team, with the same style and the same kind of coach just fluctuating talent/experience on the roster in any given year.

We should go back to divisions and call this one the plain, cold oatmeal division.

Yawn

It’s under the radar insane that Heyward is still a productive starter in the NFL.

- Henry: Same stuff. Oregon pushing, but so is USC.
- KDW: Will flip to USC
- Rickets: Will stick
- Guilford: “the intel still favors him sticking with Ohio State. His camp will have final conversations with the Buckeyes on Tuesday ironing out the final intricacies of his process.”

Cade Stover, tush push specialist​

Like Hamilton, Cade Stover also found himself taking on a new role in Week 13.

The former Ohio State tight end had the first four rushing attempts of his NFL career as the Texans had him take a direct snap at quarterback to run the “tush push” for four plays against the Colts. He converted 3rd-and-1 on each of his first two attempts, but was stuffed for no gain on each of his final two attempts, resulting in a net total of three yards.

Stover also caught two passes for 16 yards from Stroud in the Texans’ win.

JSN has quietest game of season​

After breaking an NFL record with 11 straight games with more than 75 receiving yards to start the season, Jaxon Smith-Njigba finally had a quiet game in Week 13.

One week after Smith-Njigba had eight catches for a season-high 167 yards and two touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans, the Minnesota Vikings limited JSN to just two catches for 23 yards on Sunday.

Slowing down Smith-Njigba was about the only thing the Vikings did well on Sunday, as the Seattle Seahawks shut them out 26-0 to improve to 9-3 on the season.

Stroud leads Texans to win in return​

C.J. Stroud also made his return from injury in Week 13 and led the Houston Texans to a 20-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

After missing the Texans’ previous three games with a concussion, Stroud completed 22 of 35 passing attempts for 276 yards, his second-highest total of the season. He didn’t throw any touchdown passes and threw one interception, but led four scoring drives for the Texans and had seven pass completions that went for 15 yards or more.

• TreVeyon Henderson led the New England Patriots with 67 rushing yards, highlighted by a 26-yard gain, in their Monday Night Football win over the New York Giants.
