Game Thread Game Nine: #1 tOSU 44, Minnesota 0 (10/28/06)

[tibor75]

3:30 pm according to the official schedule...

yeah, I saw that, but the fact that the network is still listed as "ESPN or ESPN2 or ABC" confused me. IF ESPN or 2 picks it up, couldn't the time change to Noon?

With as shitty as the new field is, the last thing we need is rain...

This will be the first game I have not watched in the Shoe in years. I'll be on vacation in Amish country. But the house we have rented has a 54" widescreen and DirecTV.

Where in Amish Country? My mother lives in Holmes Co.

OK, I haven't really been paying attention, but why is Minnesota having such a shitty season? Running offense with no running back?

That's where we're heading. Just outside Millersburg

Running offense with zero threat to pass. 8 and 9 in the box.

They can't schedule Kent St, Temple, North Dakota St every week.

I don't know honestly.

Some say they got robbed against Penn State, but they've destroyed Kent St. and Temple, just like they should.

Just barely squeaking by North Dakota St isn't a good thing.

From their schedule, they've been slapped by Cal, lost by 2 TDs to Michigan and Wisconsin ran all over them.

They lost by 6 to PurDon't and by one to Penn State.

Just by looking at the stats, they don't look too horrible (not Indiana horrible) but it does appear that their defense has taken a beating at times...
