Kneejerk, armchair quarterback here but my gut feeling is TP is just trying too hard to be a pocket passer and passing up huge gains sometimes with the pass first, run second mentality that we are trying to ingrain in him. I have seen him attempt to dump the ball off to a receiver five yards...

Did anybody notice on both of his big returns yesterday (one being called back for block in the back I believe) he took the ball straight up the field, no hesitation and bouncing around, just hit the seam and go. IMO this seems to be the way to go barring the odd cut back against the seam that...

first game at the shoe My initial posting was headed towards a "i want to see a hard fought, close game with the best team winning in the end" kinda theme. I found myself on the floor with a footprint on my ass, the visage of a bespeckled older gentleman with a black OSU cap disappearing back...

Am bring the family from Washington back to Ohio for a couple of days at Cedar Point and hopefully a chance to show them the SHOE. Need 4 tickets together for the Navy game; have two nieces who still live in Columbus checking for me, but kinda hard to get 4 together. Have gone the stub-hub route...

Gee I wouldnt mind seeing him out my way too; I MIGHT make the trip to Seattle more than once a year if Beanie is in a Seahawk uni :D

I love the seniors to death, especially the ones who bypassed the big money for one more year of college. The TEAM played their hearts out and despite what the talking heads will come up with, they have nothing to be ashamed of. Tress was brought in to win the Big Ten and beat scUM; something...

How ironic if I have to eat my words and we WIN by a fieldgoal.:tongue2: I just am saying that maybe a chance taken here or there and we are not dependent on Texas going 3 and out and NEEDING 3 points to win. If I have to eat crow I will do it for a win

Sorry to be so negative guys, but settling for 3's is not gonna win big games. Our D can only stop an elite offense so many times, and Texas is an elite team. I love Tressel to death when it comes to teaching etc but something needs to change. Do we not have the ability to throw the short pass...

Damn straight. I am gonna puke if we settle for a field goal. We need TD's :gobucks1:

How about going for it when we are up 3-0 and have shut them down. The second field goal attempt was the perfect time to do it. We need to go for the jugular ala USC. Make the 4th down there and we have chance to go up 10-0 and make Texas doubt if they even want to give an all out effort to win...

God dammit that is what I am talking about in taking chances. Pete Carroll, Urban Meyer have confidence in their team and go for it. What has Texas done so far; gone for it 3 times on 4th down as far as I can see. Being conservative may win in the Big Ten, but you need to have some balls in...

See my edit lol, was a little worked up and math was off :D

We will not win this game with 9 or 12 points. For god's sake Tressel take a chance. All that yardage and 3 field goal tries is all we have to show for it :( . Defense has been close to lights out, but they will not hold Texas out of endzone for entire game. Dual q-back was ok in first half to...

The first thing I heard when I turned on the radio after the bowl selection show was some espin tool saying something about OSU vs Texas and how "we all now how bad OSU plays in BCS games". My god will we never live down the last two NC games; the last time I checked we were 4-2 in BCS games but...

The "he gave ____ %" where ___ is anything over 100 drives me crazy too Any time the "I am here on the sidelines because of my looks" reporter asks the coach heading off to the locker room at half-time a captain obvious "gee coach you had 5 turnovers in the first half, negative rushing yards...

I just watched the game day crew and think I heard Fowler say something about you "have to penalize a one loss team for who they lost to and where, dont you?" This is something I have never understood about the polls and especially how it ties into the hate tOSU feeling out there. My take on any...

A program and fan base at a crossroad My two cents; we as a fan base and the football program as a whole are at a collective crossroad. (A) Are we happy to win at least 3 out of 4 against TSUN, win the Big Ten title at least every other year, have a good chance to at least get to or be in the...

Absolutely no way we make it in ahead of a two loss team from a BCS conference, assuming we make it through the rest of the Big Ten undefeated. And that is a huge IF judging from today's game :( I would be VERY happy to see us beat scUM, win the Big Ten , and make it to a BCS bowl :)

We will not get the nod over a 2 loss SEC team, not after what has happened the last two years. The only way we make it in this year, is as the 2nd team in to play a undefeated or 1 loss team with nobody from the SEC having less than 3 losses. An unlikely scenario at best. I think the ideal...

I would really like to see us play a SEC team in a BCS bowl; we really need to get over that hump THIS year so we have a clear head going into the championship games the NEXT two years under TP. A win against any SEC team will do wonders for our credibility, but most importantly it will erase...
