Ding ding ding ding, we have a winner!

I've been preachin this shit for awhile now, and everyone says 3-0, or 31-2. How about LOSS TO NORTHWESTERN?

Again, do you think that Tressel lost us this game? Or was it Zwick? Or the defense/playcalling that let NU gain FOUR HUNDRED yards. If you're a defensive football team and you allow four hundred yards of offense--you're going to lose. I don't care if Jesus is coaching you.

sigh

This game had some aura around it somehow I figured we could stumble. This was pathetic...How many yards did they give up on third down alone. Simply pathetic, these are the games you go in feeling alright this is the game we get everything right. Well what we learn is Ross needs to go he's slow slow slow. Pittman can atleast get 4 yards when Ross might of only gotten 1. It's as simple as that, the play calling was at time just awful. Why are we in Shotgun on the 5 yard line?

The offense is downright pathetic to watch at times, we are Ohio State we shouldn't have so much trouble on offense. I feel bad for the skill players that have superior talent which they never get to show off. I don't know who's fault it is, the line's, Zwick's, Ross's, Tressel's, whoever it is needs to be worked out and fast. You can't simply rely on your damn defense to win everything. I don't care if this is Tressel's nature you can't be Content with it every fucking week. It will not Work, and being stubborn doesn't help the situation. We showed some heart at the end and lucky we made it to overtime. But honestly We lost to Northwestern why can't we blow teams out?

It's honestly pathetic, and something needs to be changed because we will lose more games if this continues. We do not have the gamebreaker we had with Maurice Clarett in the backfield, we need to develop the pass game as the major threat. I hope Tressel learned tonight with this embarrassing loss that playing to be safe with the football on offense will only get you so far. Opportunistic offense might work when the defense is on tune but you are banking a lot. The only way to take off pressure is to create your own threat on offense.

The sky is falling!!!!!! The folks who doubt Tressel now are the same who have called him a savior for the last few years. Ease up, he's bound to lose one every once and a while.

28-3 ain't bad at all.

Sure 28-3 aint bad, but when that 3 includes an embarassing loss to Northwestern, who even when OSU had poor .500 teams could beat , then it is bad.

its funny, but the only thing this team can do is throw on offense....and tressel wont let that happen....

Except when we are within ten yards and have moved the ball down the field with our running game (Pittman). Of course after that happens you go to 3 strait passes and then when they fail kick the field goal. Just another example of the stupidity of the play calling. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

di....you dont fucking lose to northwestern. you dont fucking nearly lose to marshall. you dont fucking nearly lose to ncstate. not all in the same year.

the wins without the talent make it look like nothing is wrong........but im fucking sick of not beating the shit out of shitty teams.

i would be this fucking hot had we won in overtime. IM FUCKING TIRED OF PLAYING DOWN TO SHITTY OPPONENTS. its fucking bullshit that we play some shit team and they play the game of their lives against us. why is that? because we NEVER put anybody away. so that gives them hope. you see the fucknuts at bucknuts who come over every weekend telling us how they are going to have the biggest win for their schools history and turn their program around by beating ohio state.

nobody fucking goes over to georgias board and says that. nobody fucking goes to USCs board and says that. nobody goes to cryami and says it. fucking miami sucks this year but at least they fucking stomp down on the shitheads they play.

i dont expect tressel to win every single game, but i expect him to fucking blowout shitty opponents MORE OFTEN than they hang with us.
