What happened to my ¤cash?
You can see both of my dorm rooms from that pic. One in each tower. Before the south stands were perm, I had a pretty good view of the stadium.

Post Game Notes
• In his last tune-up prior to The Game, QB Kyle McCord was adequate but not great: 20/30, 212 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, sack. All season long, Buckeye fans have been trying to come up with an appropriate comparison for McCord, with the most common candidate being Craig Krenzel. After watching McCord for eleven games, I can't help thinking that he's Todd Boeckman – a quarterback who was good enough to lead Ohio State to the brink of a national championship as a junior in 2007, but who was quickly replaced by a younger better player (Terrelle Pryor) the following season despite 10,000 to 1 odds against that move. McCord can build his legacy – and begin to make his case to remain the starter in 2024 – by beating The Cheaters Up North next week.
• Yes, Marvin Harrison Jr (3 receptions, 30 yards, TD) is the best player in college football, but the Buckeye offense has an extra dimension when TreVeyon Henderson is healthy. Yesterday, Henderson had 15 carries for 146 yards (9.7 average) and 2 touchdowns, and added 2 receptions for 26 yards. In eight games this season, Henderson has 134 touches for 1,004 yards (7.5 average) and 10 touchdowns, with 4 of those scores being from 30+ yards.
• Henderson had a touchdown run of 75 yards, the longest touchdown of his Buckeye career. It was Henderson's fifth touchdown of 50+ yards. Only 11 other Buckeyes have five or more touchdowns of 50+ yards, and the list is impressive: Joey Galloway (5); Michael Wiley (5); Beanie Wells (5); J.K. Dobbins (5); Jeff Graham (6); David Boston (6); Parris Campbell (6); Devin Smith (7); Braxton Miller (8); Ezekiel Elliott (8); Ted Ginn Jr (16).
• The Buckeyes played an uninspiring first half, outgaining the Golden Gophers 232 yards to 94 yards but leading only 13-0. On the first play of the second half, Henderson ripped off his 75-yard touchdown run. The next play was a strip sack which led to a short-field touchdown. With 13:53 left in the third quarter, Ohio State led 27-0 and the game was essentially over.
• The Ohio State defense held Minnesota to 159 total yards on 48 plays, for an average of 3.3 yards per play. Jack Sawyer had a standout performance, with 6 tackles, 3.5 TFLs, a sack, and a forced fumble. JT Tuimoloau nearly scored on a fumble recovery (he came up 6 yards short after a 16-yard return) and Jordan Hancock nearly scored on an interception (he came up 14 yards short after a 40-yard return).
• For the season, the Buckeye defense has surrendered just 102 points (9.3 per game) and 2,782 yards (252.9 per game; 4.0 per play).
• Jayden Fielding was a perfect 3 for 3 on field goal attempts, including a career long from 47 yards.
• Trailing 37-0 with 6:43 left in the game, Minnesota kicked a 54-yard field goal to spoil the shut out. Row, row, row your boat....
• Time to savor the Hate.

We originally paid out the full 10,000 to 1, then the BP Mafia "suggested" that I return several billion in vCash.

Another great performance by the defense and with several key players out. Minny has an awful run defense but Trey is obviously a game changer and fully healthy. I like how we're looking with Hate Week upon us.

OHIO STATE-MINNESOTA MAKES HISTORY AS BIG TEN NETWORK'S MOST-WATCHED BROADCAST EVER
The brand of Ohio State football remains undefeated.
On Tuesday, the Big Ten announced Ohio State's 37-3 win over Minnesota attracted an audience of 2.015 million on Saturday, according to Nielsen Media Research. That number made the battle between the Buckeyes and Golden Gophers the most-watched broadcast in Big Ten Network history and the first event in network history to surpass 2 million viewers.
Before Saturday, the 2021 Black Friday matchup between Iowa and Nebraska was the Big Ten Network's most-watched broadcast with 1.99 million viewers. The Sept. 23 matchup between Michigan and Rutgers was previously ranked second at 1.93 million.
According to Sports Media Watch, Ohio State-Minnesota attracted the 10th-largest audience in college football for Week 12. Georgia-Tennessee led the way with 5.73 million viewers, followed by Michigan-Maryland (5.43 million), Washington-Oregon State (4.73 million), Louisville-Miami (2.89 million) and USC-UCLA (2.65 million), who rounded out the top five.
This season, Ohio State has attracted audiences of 4.65 million vs. Indiana, 1.22 million vs. Youngstown State, 2.82 million vs. Western Kentucky, 9.98 million vs. Notre Dame, 4.51 million vs. Maryland, 9.96 million vs. Penn State, 4.87 million vs. Wisconsin, 3.96 million vs. Rutgers and 3.57 million vs. Michigan State, according to SMW.
The Buckeyes' Week 7 matchup with Purdue does not appear on the SMW weekly rankings because it was streamed exclusively on Peacock, preventing Nielsen from charting and tracking its viewership numbers.
