People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

I do it too because sometimes I'm impatient and think " those 3 seconds aren't going to make a difference". I do clear the time off because it's a public microwave. My wife does the same at home but never clears the time.

Sometimes I'll leave some time on the clock at home just to see if it will drive my wife nuts, but she never even notices. I think maybe she's a psychopath. :shrug:

OL Coach Tyler Bowen (Official Thread)

What does that mean, though? If it's not the coaching or the talent, what is it?

I'm not smart enough about designing an offense to know whether or not it's true, but it feels to me like the total offensive philosophy/scheme consistently puts the o-line in a position where every play's success is dependent on each OL having a total win in their assignment. So all it takes is one player being a half-step slow on their block for an entire play to get blown up. It's the only thing I can figure with how consistently the exact same problems show up regardless of coaching changes and new players coming in.

And then the players transfer elsewhere and have success or head off to the NFL and do well so it's not like there isn't talent here.

It's like there is some sort of anti-synergy where the unit always manages to perform worse than the sum of the individual parts.

Walter E. “Ted” Carter (Former OSU President)

Indeed. Sadly so, but entirely predictable.
Yep. When the sole criteria was a willingness to be the puppet of Wexner and after running off a top level President, we were bound to scrape the bottom of the barrel.

Thank God for President Ravi. Lucking into a great internal hire was our only hope, and it seems so far that we nailed it.

QB Kirk ‘Nightmare On’ Herbstreit (Frosted Quips, False Narratives Clown, Afraid of THE Lunatic Fringe)

Willingness to dumb it down for the lowest common denominator. Spiels doesn't know how to dumb it down because his high football IQ thinks it already is simple. Herbie doesn't know how to un-dumb it down because he thinks he's revealing the secrets of football every time he reminds you about face guarding.

OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

Just a horrific hire that so many people identified the moment it was announced.

Unfortunately, it’s starting to to show on the recruiting trail now too. I know the portal is prob more important in today’s landscape of NIL, but OSU had been striking a great balance between HS recruiting and using the portal where necessary.

We’re starting to see some kids we’d have landed in the last opting to stay south versus giving us the trust to develop them. It’s going to be rough to watch Day try and win with similar talent to his peers…..

Oregon Ducks (aka U of Nike)

Oregon injuries and off-the-field problems piling up before matchup with Ohio State​

The Ohio State Buckeyes are getting some help from the opponent ahead of this week's matchup with the Ducks.

Oregon comes to town, and they are the only ranked team that Ohio State has left on the schedule. They are also fighting for their lives. However, the Ducks have injuries and off-the-field problems that are going to help Ohio State in this game.

Ohio State is going to take advantage of Oregon's struggles​

Several things are going against the Ducks in this game. Two receivers have been arrested for evading the cops. Evan Stewart was charged with DUI after he ran from the cops. Freshman Messiah Hampton was also arrested on two felony charges, as well.

Jeremiah McCllelan has a broken foot, so he likely won't play in this game, either. Running back Jordon Davison will also miss this game on Saturday afternoon, further giving Ohio State an advantage when it comes to personnel. Most of these issues affect Oregon's offense.

That's good news for a defense that was eviscerated by an underwhelming USC offense last weekend in Los Angeles. It was by far the worst performance from defensive coordinator Matt Patricia and something that he needs to fix if Ohio State wants to make the CFP.
