Here is expert football analysis you can get everywhere else: Tuf can play. I'm wasting my talent.

E+R=O takes the blame game out of the equation. The emphasis in that is on the R/reaction. If you are directly involved in an event, and you don't get the outcome you want, then you control what you control (your development, effort, attitude, etc.) to help get a better O. Within the team...

Unless injury occurs, JTB is going to be the QB, for better or worse, and to the triumphant or bitter end. So, we need to deal with that reality. I think Wilson's strategy needs to take what JT does well (run on RO and scramble), let him do that, and think of ways to run the offense they have...

No, they didn't run all over them all game, but watch what happened late 3rd thru 4th (if you can without vomiting). They were keeping drives going with some good runs and staying ahead of the sticks. That D line isn't supposed to get gassed because of the 9 deep thing. But to your point...

Good points. How many soul cleansings do you need? Lol. When a team isn't playing to their potential, you think of all the things we have discussed, but there is another one we haven't. It's possible that there is some division, disagreement, whathaveyou within the team. I think this was the...

The losses in the secondary is a legit point, but in a sport where your assumptions about a team early in the year are often wrong, the one thing I was confident about the 2017 Buckeyes was that the front 7 was elite, no one would run on them, and they would help the secondary while those young...

@LordJeffBuck I agree with every word - or at least can't disagree with one word of your analysis. I have been a big JT fan, if not apologist, but there is too much evidence to keep blaming everyone around him. My friends were asking for Haskins last night, and I told them it can't happen...

I think this game will be closer. Ohio State found a couple of corners that couldn't cover Noah B, and things just snowballed on the Sooners. They have been darn good since. I just like watching Baker Mayfield play. I don't like hearing him talk or seeing him run into walls. I don't like how...

Oh, man. That was as bad as it gets. But we still have the "it wasn't the head coach" card. Lol. #knowwherethecamerais

Except - his extensive booger-picking on national TV made me extremely uncomfortable. Lol

I was Chief Encourager last night. For some reason, all my buddy OSU fans are Negative Nellies, and they were losing their minds through 2 1/2 qtrs. I kept telling them this was the first game of the year, Indiana couldn't get 1 yard rushing, the Hoosiers were moving the ball via perfect...

I've been thinking about what my headline would be tomorrow (if I had something to write a headline for). I'm going with: "Buckeyes are What We Thought they Were, But Too Early to Crown Their Arse." I see a competitive game for a qtr or so, and then talent takes over. Ohio State scores 35-42...

Gerd warns us about the hype on this kid - and participates in it - with his usual splendid sarcasm. http://theozone.net/2017/08/enough-j-k-dobbins-hype-already/

Found this video this morning. Pretty funny stuff. Serious point is that people care about football at Ohio State more than they do most places. I missed BTN's bus tour preview of Ohio State. I watched the segments online this morning. Really good stuff. Revsine, Griffeth, and Dinardo...

This. This. this. I hate myself that I am still hypersensitive about the PI call. I've watched it 100 times, and, honestly, I don't see PI. Maybe holding. Maybe even a facemask. However, I did see the hold on Gamble AND his catch that was called incomplete that would have given Ohio State a...

Riley is playing with house money IMO. If OU comes in here and gets spanked, that's what a lot of people expect. If they play it close and lose, then that's a great job of getting your team ready for a big game. If they win, the state of Oklahoma won't be big enough to hold the expectations...

Hugh got me. I don't know why I liked him, but I did, and even believed that he wasn't directly involved in the shenanigans down there. Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Caught part of the hearing. The guy is a constant contradiction. He can sound remorseful and like he is justifying/minimizing in the same sentence. 33 years seemed excessive for what happened in Nevada, but then it seemed about right since he actually got away with murder - and yet that...

276 sounds better.

Looking at the offensive roster, I don't see a lot of holes or questions. I guess we would start our biggest concerns with the receivers and H-back. The Bucks need 4-5 guys out of the following: Victor, Hill, McClaurin, Dixon, Mack, Grimes (and possibly frosh Gardiner and Harris). It looks...
