Game Thread 2017 B1G Championship Game: OSU vs. Wisconsin - 12/2/17 @ 8:00 ET (FOX)

Victories over both Michigans, stealing one from Penn State, beating a good Wisconsin team on a neutral site, perhaps forcing the NCAA into revising the playoffs. Not a bad year. Wrapping up the holidays by turning Kelly purple or deflating Darnold's hype would be the perfect topping.

Starting off the new year with Haskins and the next Doug Flutie, three solid running backs, a fleet of swift receivers, Bosa and Borland. Penn State's offense gone. Michigan still looking for a QB and a running game... Things could be much worse, we could be Tennessee - wandering in the wilderness, looking for a coach with a pulse willing to take the job.
Well, in fairness, no one else could be Tennessee :slappy:

I know there are some strong opinions on who should advance, and why, but Hermey says the Buckeyes are in the playoffs,

and you do not argue with the elf!

Why does the elf have no pants on?










I hope somebody gets the joke, for my sake.

It is 100% possible to still 'stand with the team' while pointing out areas for improvement. If we didn't do that, our current DC would be Everett Withers and our current OC would be Mr. Beck.

Put simply - pointing out flaws is how we get better.

Methinks you think t0o highly of yourself and comments on the board, as I really don't think the coaching staff reads these alcohol fueled comments to determine how to get better or to scheme for the next game.
I was simply pointing out that it's easier (snowflake mentallity) to be negative than positvie and it wears on you....

So true story: old Wisconsin fan in the lobby this morning to me and several other OSU fans was mumbling some incoherent attempt at an insult by saying they were putting Iowa in at #4.


They just can’t let it go. Iowa’s win over OSU that is. Seems to be the high point of Wisconsin football program history

We were hoping to catch back up with you guys before we left. Our voices are gone. My ankles are shot.

We walked over to Pearl Street to get pizza, they had stopped serving. Had to settle for Steak and Shake, which was full of police and disappointed Badger fans. Didn’t really want to eat here, but it was hilarious.

Just got in a bit ago. Exhausted.

We need to get another meetup going for next year.

Great end to an up and down season. While a spot in the college football playoff and a national title are the goals every year, if we remove the scarlet colored lenses and be truthful with ourselves, we didn’t deserve it.

Two blowout loses; One at home (albeit to OU, but still) and a very mediocre Iowa team. Additionally, we’ve played down to our competition all year and have made games closer than they should be with our inconsistent play, especially the last two weeks. Any team in the top 4 would take us to the woodshed this year (one already has).

Let’s be happy (really grateful) for a B10 championship and get ready to throttle Notre Dame or USC in the fiesta bowl. Next year with a different QB who can hit open receivers with consistently and KW as our offensive coordinator we will be a better team. Going to the playoffs only to repeat last years game would be bad for the brand. We don’t need that.
