Feeling like they fucked the timing... Aug-Sept was as good as it was going to get.
Shit hitting the fan again in Winter.
We started just as it was ramping again.
Slow OODA loop in b1g HQ.

Wisconsin doesnt surprise me... active cases were 8k six weeks ago, now 43k and going up 4k/day (and that # is climbing a mountain too).

Ohio rates are about half with double the population... so maybe alright for now.

B1G will need a lot of good fortune to get at least 7 games in for every team after pissing away weeks before making a decision to play.

Bucky and Corn are already out 1 game each.

KINGS OF THE NORTH. Ohio State absolutely runs the Big Ten, and that's never been more clear.

Perhaps no stat reflects Ohio State's dominance since Meyer arrived in Columbus more than this: The Buckeyes are 23-1 against Penn State, Wisconsin and Michigan since 2012. The Nittany Lions beat Ohio State 24-21 on Oct. 22, 2016, with the help of a Grant Haley touchdown off a blocked field-goal attempt.

...

The ugly truth is Ohio State's dominance is every bit as impressive as what Clemson has done in the ACC and Alabama has done in the SEC. And it's starting to rip the soul out of the rest of the Big Ten. Nobody is in the Buckeyes' talent zip code, and their next recruiting class is currently ranked No. 2 according to 247Sports' Composite rankings.

To be clear, this isn't Ohio State's problem. It's a problem for everybody else in the Big Ten. There is no end in sight in the 2020s, and the competition might need to rethink its attack off the field. That isn't limited to Penn State, Wisconsin and Michigan at this point.

How many more unfair fights do you need to see as proof?

At some point in the aftermath of Saturday night's game, it hit me – that was the best team on Ohio State's regular-season schedule.

It wasn't a tune-up game against a hapless non-conference opponent, it wasn't a Big Ten game against an overmatched Rutgers or Maryland. The game the Buckeyes lowkey sleepwalked through, left at least 20 points on the table and only won by 13 points was against Penn State.

We're talking about this game like it was another early-season matchup where the Buckeyes looked good but not perfect and clearly have plenty to work on going forward. And that's all true to a point, but like, this was as tough as it gets.

This was the toughest game on the schedule, Ohio State's big regular-season test. And the Buckeyes just coasted. That's hilarious to me.
