    Game Thread tOSU at Nebraska, Sat October 8, 2011, 8 pm ET, ABC

    Oh, don't get me wrong -- I think you guys have the right coach, and I'd take him if he wanted to come back to Columbus. ;) And I understand stepping up to defend your players. It's more the way he went about it, and the odd lack of joy after what was an historic win. I guess we got very used...

    Both Pelini and Fickell had weird pressers. Fickell just looked shell shocked -- it was like one of those "Want to get away?" Southwest commercials. I think after something like that you express either optimism, like "it's a tough, tough way to lose, but we have some positives to build on" or...

    The only lingering effect I'm concerned about is #5's ankle. If he's good to go, then I think this team has turned the corner. It's a young team, and they'll bounce back.

    I'm not even sure what to say after that. A 21 point lead not being secure is not Ohio State football in any way. :dead: Gonna go have another drink. :drunks:

    Illinois -14.5 at Indiana (ov/un 52.5) Sat 2:30 ET, BTN

    Now 27-13. Indiana is really bad. Hopefully we don't need them to be a slumpbuster.

    One win over OSU and he gets a lifetime deal...wow. Well, at least they didn't make a shrine to a broken handrail.

    While it's always interesting to contemplate being buggered by an agitated Ewok, I think your concerns may be overstated. The NCAA is in a tough spot. Throwing down on Ohio State when all of the violations are self-reported will do nothing but undermine the NCAA investigative process. Think...

    The Zooker is getting Zooked so far. Indiana is up 10-0 in the first quarter.

    tOSU +10.5 at Nebraska (ov/un 44.5) Sat 8 ET, ABC

    Where on Earth are these two teams supposed to come up with 45 points? A 10.5 over/under seems more reasonable. Even that as a spread seems awfully generous. *shurg* What do I know? I took the odds for OSU to win outright, so I have no business ever betting with real money.

    Who will be tOSU's head coach on July 1, 2012? (betting closed)

    Yeah, in an era where the freakin' MAC gets what, three automatic bowl bids? Good coach, don't get me wrong -- I love a guy who sticks with power football like he did, but Minnesota has a historical legacy in the pre-forward pass era that's a little more substantive than appearances in the...

    He's making the trip and Fickell said he practiced and is likely to play. I'm just optimistic that he or Devin Smith can make some big plays this week.

    Put Miller's arm to work and take at least four to five solid deep shots to Philly Brown. Stretch the field and make UNL pay dearly for stacking the box. And FFS, find the page in the playbook that has screen passes. Hall, Berry, Brown on a WR screen...anything to slow down the damned rush...

    2011-2012 Men's Buckeye Basketball (Final Four Season)

    Late to the party, but Ninja's "fact #3" isn't even something you want to be true. The last thing we need at the Schott are "borderline fans" who bailed on the football team just because the water got a little choppy. Pass. What we *do* need are passionate hoops fans who know the game and who...

    (Duplicate) Defensive Coordinator Luke Fickell (official thread)

    This. I am pretty sure that the only other person on the staff with any offensive play calling experience other than Bollman is Dick Tressel; Heacock might also, since he was once a HC as well, but that's obviously not an option. If Hazell doesn't leave to go to Kent State, this is a...

    A big problem for the NCAA with how this has been handled from a PR perspective is that "2C" starts to look a whole lot more appealing for schools. Auburn's stonewall has made the bad press men go away; no more questions are being asked publicly about Miami once they threw a couple of...

    Nebraska +9.5 at Wisconsin (ov/un 55.5) Sat 8 ET, ABC

    Given this stat, I am not sure at all how either team is going to move the ball. Looks like another 10-7 barnburner one way or another. I was joking before about pick sixes, but this game really might be won by a defensive score, special teams score or who kicks the most field goals. How's...

    The original post is thankfully gone, though I think Mili's bet is still a good one. There aren't three more losses on this schedule, no matter how many times Bollman calls"Dave". Indiana, Purdue and State Penn suck. Michigan always sucks. Nebraska sucked harder on Saturday than we did. It's...
