A few simple, I believe uncontestable, facts about this program -- some of which are unique to the JT Era, others of which are longer-term problems. 1. The OSU has never attracted or developed a great quarterback. We proved in 2002 that you can win without a great QB, but as a general...

This is not a commercial endorsement, but if you have DirecTV you will never miss a game. It's worth the dollars, particularly if you live in the football-retarded East as I do. Cry-ami's on where I live, but the Hughes satellite will salvage yet another autumn Saturday at our house!

I enjoy reading this writer/coach's post-game analyses, particularly his statistical breakdowns. But his analysis of the mediocre offenses we've seen since Bollman arrived are a little too obvious. I was hoping he had found some magic bullet cure-all. But that's exactly the problem, isn't...

I used to think USCum was the University for Spoiled Children, but scUM is challenging for that title. They are frontrunning, fair-weather, spoiled, sore-ass losers. Their coach is a tool and their fans are delusional narcissists. When will the East Coast media 'intelligentsia' stop rewarding...

They say losing can teach you much more than winning, if you open your mind to the lessons it teaches. Let's hope poor Mark has learned a lesson and will never make that mistake again. He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and those mountain folks he's so fond of won't be very charitable...

My instinct would be to defer -- hit them hard with our defense right away to let them know what they're up against. Whichever unit JT feels is strongest will get the first series if tOSU wins the toss. If he chooses to receive, that will say a lot about his confidence in the offense.

DirecTV channel 609 ESPNUTyler coach complaining refs are from Ohio. Losing 24-12 8:00 third quarter. Ever notice how losers worry more about refs than winners?

I am glad to know I am not the only grown man who will get a tear in his eye Saturday night.Exceptional post, Nut. Thank you.

This excellent analysis bends over backwards to give Texas their props. It is incredibly well researched and amazingly thorough. I've been to the other site and seen nothing even close to it.Despite this, too many Texas supporters rant and rave about their team with little more than hot air...

Let's see. One guy has five national championship rings; the other, not one. If Longhorn fans really think their guy can out-gameplan our guy, more power to 'em. LLLoyd and LLLarry C. thought the same thing, but it didn't work out for them and I doubt it will work out for Mack.With nearly...

We're all very brilliant post-game theorists, but who got the game ball in the real world, anybody know? How did JT vote?

Bearing in mind that he's playing against a minor league program, which has had to spend the past week practicing on the edge of a horrific disaster zone... Vince Young really looks exceptional. He is the smoothest running QB I've ever seen, including Michael Vick. Let's hope they get...

Zwick should absolutely start next Saturday. He has proved he can run this new spread offense. He mixes his receivers ideally (3 guys with 5 catches for 70+ yards each), makes sound decisions (his interception resulted from TJ Downing missing a protection scheme) and even scrambled effectively...

Justin Zwick, without question. He was crisp, controlled and nearly flawless. He should start next Saturday because he has proved he can run this offense -- by involving all his weapons; always going to the appropriate open receiver; and scrambling effectively when necessary. No reason Smith...

For years through the 50s and 60s the team was known simply as Ohio State. Many folks in those days used to pronounce it, sloppily, as Uh-Hi-Uh State. Some Buckeye football players were among the 'offenders'. I believe that as media-consciousness emerged in the late 70s, early 80s, the...

Best Damn Fans in the Land A game in the 'Shoe is already the classiest experience in football, college or pro, but taosman's words are well worth remembering. These are heady times for the program. Expectations are high and emotions will be running full tilt all year. Let's win, or God...

Swan Song for LLLoyd ND -- for Weiss, this is the equivalent of a major bowl win. A win against scUM will please the Irish faithful and trigger long term support for Weiss. ND gives LLLoyd his first L. tOSU -- JT knows this game could be make-or-break for the BCS/Rose Bowl. He has LLLoyd's...

A few random thoughts about Mo: 1. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Alan Milstein explains to his law partners how he intends to collect the fees Mo owes his firm. "O-o-o-ops. I could have sworn I saw a gravy train in there someplace." 2. Does anyone think Jim Brown will be at...

Revenge is a dish best served cold. The sweetest possible revenge, for the irrational hatred that has-beens Trev Albert and Jackie-Sherrill-boy Mark May (and others at ESPiN) have been showing tOSU, would be an undefeated NC season, culminating with an upset win over USC in the 'Grand Daddy'...

I'm afraid John Boyd allowed his own ego to get tangled up in his player's recruitment. I'm a little embarrassed for him. It must be tough being an Indiana Hoosier alum and coaching Indiana kids who all seem to favor tOSU these days.
