Most painful losses:

  1. 2016: so bitterly disappointing
  2. 2018: favored to win, sniffing Indy yet stomped
  3. 2019: many were resigned to losing, but they at least thought they'd keep it respectable

2006 probably hurt more than 2019 for them. Undefeated #2 and still relatively early in the reversal of series dominance so they weren't used to the beatdowns. Plus, Bo died a couple days before so they played up the "this is for Bo" hype.

Edit - Unless we're just talking about the Harbaugh era

2004 was the first of the surprise ass beatings. They came out n favored for that one too iirc. if not by the actual Vegas line, they were very much seen as the better team.


Tress couldn’t break 50 if you spotted him 30 but that was a savage ass beating by Tressel standards.

It was gloriously fun.

I agree. Such a great game. I was on a cruise ship with my wife's family and locked myself alone in my cabin to watch w/o especially high hopes. After 2003, a loss there could have stopped the Tressel train, but instead Troy announced that they were going to be his bitch.

Rich Rod's 2008 team lost 42-7 which bests Harbaugh's pair of 29-point losses in 2015 and 2019. So Harbaugh has that going for him...

This year could very well be that year...might even top our 38-point win in 1935 (38-0).

You fuckers are getting soft. At least 87-0 to top the 1902 defeat and have the all-time series beat down.

Agreed on 2004 I went to a restaurant with my buddy. My buddy decided to go to the bathroom during the game. He came back and was wondering why everyone was staring at our table.

Yeah Teddy housed it and I screamed... I had to fill him in that I was the reason for the glares.

This was in Virginia so a non OSU area

(The following is from the perspective of a ttun fan...)

2016 we got robbed. "This" close..... We were right there. If any number of plays go the other way, we win. Most of our fans still think the refs screwed us out of that win.
2017 was a fluke. Barrett gets knocked out of the game and some young kid comes in to lead and offense that hadn't been able to do much all day. It was fluke, plain and simple. We deserved to win.
2018 was a rough one. We were supremely confident. It was our time, we were owed that win. We were finally going to get over the hump and were going to win. We had one stop left on our revenge tour.... t-shirt sales were booming. This was meant to be our year.....​

The curbstomping that followed will affect their program for years to come. (Plus, I was at that game, so......)

1973 and I was an assistant training and operations officer for a reserve brigade in Columbus. OIC was a colonel and Va Tech guy who had moved to Columbus from DC to take this plum command. One of my tasks was to put the training schedule together. We normally drilled on the third weekend of the month except for November, so I set the November drill for the second week. The colonel called me in and asked me to change the schedule, "Put it back to the third weekend where it belongs."

"I can do that, Sir, but half the headquarters won't be here."

"What! Why?"

I told him and he scoffed, "Nonsense, my school plays Virginia every year, but we don't put that game above everything else. We'll drill on the third weekend and they'll show up if they know what's good for them."

I tried to argue him out of it, even suggested he ask the sergeant major, but he wouldn't budge."

So there we were on the third Saturday; the CO, the XO, the Sgt Major, the S/3, and me and maybe two dozen enlisted men. The phones were ringing and each call was either a wife claiming her husband was too sick to come to the phone, or a soldier coughing and wheezing, "Can't come in, gotta bad cold."

The colonel gave up at lunchtime and sent us all home. I got back in time to see the kickoff. Next year we drilled on the second weekend of November.
