We live in a world where tomorrow is truly uncertain to a lot of human beings. The nice thing about having the freedom to say what you want and cut loose on some of these topics is that it is good for the soul! Huge shout-out to those not afraid to express their fears and also to those who help take care of those who cannot care for themselves. We can always count on @Kirk_Barton to lead us off each week!
So we beat Michigan, Notre Dame lost, Florida lost, and Johnny Manziel lost? You can take me now Jesus.

MDotySr – The Ohio State Buckeye Football Team. In the polls, in the media and the overall general public thinking that this team is not up to playoff caliber. Urban will have these kids ready, willing and able. Bowling Green should be a great scrimmage for the good guys and Tulsa should test our defensive growth. Then in Norman, I am calling for the Buckeyes to win (not a blow out) and show the nation that doubting us is a sin hating us is appreciated. The only love that matters is from Buckeye Nation!

Scott – To everyone picking OSU to get thumped in Norman … Just wait. Urban Meyer said this year’s team is the most talented he’s ever had. And SpongeBob Bowl Flop always finds a way to inexplicable lose a game. See: Texas.
WVa – I have to revisit something from earlier in the week. My favorite team and person to slight is TTUN and their head moron Jim Harbaugh. Again thank you to @BuckeyeVideos for the video!
Who's got it better than Jim Harbaugh and Michigan? Just about everyone. pic.twitter.com/0eJFjiIgth

Joe D. -Hey Big 12, I get that expansion is the the hot topic of the summer and you’ve been raiding the mall like a kid looking for a spiked collar and Marilyn Manson poster to hang up in the room.
But don’t you get the sense that the material product is below standard and you probably shouldn’t be popping spiked collars on the first day of school?
I get it, Houston and Connecticut could really expand your reach. UCF has a beautiful new facility that everyone is lockjaw about.
How dare you sell college football fans though that Tulsa, SMU, Tulane and Memphis are worthy of a power five slot in a major conference.
One of the major issues in college football is worrying about institution numbers and how to expand to better your brand.
For the Big 12, the best thing for branding and the future of the conference, is to stay in your lane.
If these dudes ushered me to my seat, I'd be in heaven. #BuckeyeBAs #TheBest https://t.co/nEqztDQT9l

Ben v. – September 1st. The first day coaches can contact recruits in their Junior year of High School. It is about to get insane for these kids with the amount of phone calls they will be receiving from coaching staffs all across the nation. You have to remember that these kids are HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS. When I was a Junior in High School all I cared about was girls, parties, and girls. Sure I wasn’t a Division I caliber athlete, but I am sure that the majority of these guys have the same thoughts. Sure these kids want to attend a top notch college and potentially make it to the NFL, and it all starts with this, but at the same time they want to be kids and enjoy what little freedom they have left before their life becomes 100% about football. As much as I love recruiting, these kids deserve to have their time to enjoy doing what they want and not pestered by college coaches constantly.
Brandon – Let’s talk about you California versus Hawaii. First off, who had the bright idea to send you to schmucks down under to represent the game of college football? I mean was there a group of people who sat around and said “Let’s look to really expand our footprint to Australia, I say we send Hawaii and California over to show them how great we are!”… A room full of people then stand up and cheer…supporting the idiot in charge.
I'd say Hawaii's defense was lazy on that drive but after living there for years I know they would simply call it "Living Aloha"

Now on to you two fine footballing universities…what the hell was that? Did absolutely no one tell you it was okay to play defense, tackle players, or have any general idea of what was going on? You guys each gave up over 45o yards of offense to your opponent…how is that even possible without setting out to try to not play defense? Your offenses combined to throw the ball 77 times…how the heck were there only two sacks???? The Hawaii defense I can give a pass to you, I lived there for awhile…I will just assume the defensive side was stuck in traffic most practice days. But Cal…come on guys! Guess how many times Hawaii had over 450 yards of offense last year? ONCE the entire season and that was against UC-Davis…I guess maybe it’s a northern California thing. My problem really comes down to this NCAA…what did Australia do to you? Our three ambassadors to the sport of college football this year were Jim Harbaugh, California, and Hawaii….
JC – I have to go with the rush to count the visit to Norman as a loss. I have strong suspicions that the Buckeyes will pull this “baby” out. I look forward to this game more than anything on their schedule in at least a few years (minus any TTUN game – naturally). Also I need to feed my thoughts on Jimbo and the “crazy” logic that TTUN and the press appears to have because the circus that arrived in Ann Arbor last year equates to a change of fortune. “Whacked” Jimbo will keep them in the press – but eventually his act will wear on his talent. Just watch and see!
Mike Meals – My Friday Night Slight is for everyone who has already found Gibson guilty and wants his head on a stake. If he did what he is accused of, he deserves the punishment. But unless we woke up in Nazi Germany today, hold off on passing judgment until the facts come out. And trust that both the athletic department and the administration are doing exactly what they feel is right and warranted.
Well, fine, Tennessee. We didn't want you in our club anyway.

The biggest takeaway for me on the Notre Dame thing is that Linebacker Lounge is a stupid name for a bar.

This late in the game, it doesn't really matter if Tennessee wins or not, it's already a hilarious meme

Why would any D1 program schedule Appalachian State TODAY? Next week, fine. Tomorrow, fine. Not TODAY.
