Jameis? Is that you? LOL. I remember the days when MSU would blow a game they should win, or do something stupid to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, and we would say that's "Sparty being Sparty." I really appreciated what Mark Dantonio did for our defense in the championship season, and...

I agree. What you say is rational. But since when are Ohio State Buckeye fans rational? The case for being worried is this: Sparty has beaten Ohio State by limiting our passing game (Sparty D limited it in the B1G CG and the weather and our coaches did it last year), and by forcing us to get...

Saw "The Accountant" last night. Felt it was worth the time and money. Would encourage people to see it because of the writing and depth. I was prepared to see an unrealistic depiction of an assassin with a lot of violence. What I saw was a semi-unrealistic depiction of an assassin with a...

This is going to look a lot different in 2-3 weeks than it does now. If PSU loses, then OSU's path is clear. If they don't, we have reason to worry, but there are multiple things that can happen to get Ohio State in good position to get in anyway. I tend to think that when the dust all...

This thought occurred to me given that it's said that the system is "rigged" in a variety of contexts - that Urban should rig it by sending Chris Ash some of his 2s and 3's. Joe Burrow, A Williams, Mack, and some young talent on both lines and every position. It could work. O & D systems are...

My buddies were all joyous thru scUM's struggles with Iowa last night and couldn't understand why I wasn't - which led to a long series of texts of me explaining why Ohio St needs scUM to win up to The Game to avoid a 2 way tie with PSU. They were like, "Oh shit!" When Iowa pulled it out I told...

I formally withdraw my concerns and complaints about the OSU offense - at least for a week. LOL. Good Lord. Sat night was incredible. JT was so good on 3rd down. He still has some accuracy issues down the field, but I'm ashamed to mention it. We are not that good and NU is not that bad...

In the article that ScriptOhio posted, you basically have: "you aren't seeing necessarily what you are seeing" or "you are misunderstanding what you are seeing". I think JP is a great analyst and I generally take him for gospel. To his point, there are several things outside of the OSU offense...

I hear ya. If we are going to play offense like this then we need to use one of our more effective rushing weapons (JT) more. I'm with you on that. But I think the core of the offensive stagnation is the inability to complete passes downfield and expand the box defenses are playing us in. I...

If it's the truth, and he's not just trying to sooth the troubled minds of Buckeye Nation. :) Beware of coaches with psychology degrees. LOL.

I'd feel better if this was what Urban was saying going into game 3 instead of game 9. :)

My nephew plays RB for a HS team that will be in the playoffs this weekend. Their stud QB was fighting for extra yards against their rival last Friday night, got blasted, then 500 pounds of humanity fell on his throwing shoulder, bam, broken clavicle. Out at least 4 weeks. I think that's why...

I don't have any objective data to support this, but my impression has been that they do better when they take 20-25 sec to snap the ball instead of trying HUNH play after play. JT calmly looks at the defense, sometimes flips the formation or checks out of play, and then they snap the ball...

Let me ask you all what is probably a chicken or egg question. Offense has just been hard the past few weeks. Struggling to get first downs, struggling in the passing game, scoring and yards are down, less explosive plays, yada, yada, yada. What is the origin of that? Is it the players...

I think this game showed us where our biggest problem with inexperience on offense is: WR. Thorson connected with a bunch of brainy white guys for good yardage at times. He knew exactly where those guys were going to be and he delivered the ball where they were. When he missed, it was because...

Houston - I mean Columbus - we got a problem. Actually, we have problemS. I don't know what they exactly are, but that's not going to stop me. The good news is they won and bought themselves another week to get it figured out. The bad news is that the things we see and can objectively point...

My bud texted me a few weeks ago and said, "Surely we cannot be beat by a QB named Hornibrook." And we weren't. Now the question is whether a guy named "Clayton" or "Thorson" can beat The Ohio State Buckeyes. Honestly, he sounds like an actor who should be starring in Vikings.

I think you pretty much nailed it. I want to think that they will respond the way they did last year after a loss, but that was a veteran team that played mediocre for most of the year who then elevated their game after a loss. This is a young team that masked its deficiencies with very good...

That was tough to watch - at least the 4th qtr. A few thoughts: 1) I hate losing to Penn State, especially if it has any chance of jump starting that program. Would be happy if they hovered around 6-6 for the rest of their existence. That sentiment has everything to do with their fans and...

I was impressed with Wisconsin. Knew their D was special, but they used their bye to almost make that Horni QB look like Joe Montana for stretches. And their play calling was really good, keeping the Silver Bullets on their heels. But OSU adjusted and just showed a lot of grit in the 2nd...
