Game Thread Ohio at tOSU, Sat Sep 18, 12 ET, BTN/Overflow

I may have said this before on this site (too lazy to search right now) but I love how the OhioU die-hard Buckeye haters refer to Ohio State as Ohio A&M. They do realize that Ohio University was not the first name of that institution, right? American Western University, or AWU.

I am willing to bet that if you retort with AWU when one of those haters calls Ohio State Ohio A&M, they will look at you with total confusion.

Also, I don't see this team letting down for any games this year, especially against AWU (see what I did there, Piney? :wink:) this week. After the Purdue meltdown last year, I think this team will prepare for each and every team. They seem very hungry this year.


Oh, and you can't spell AWFUL with out AWU. :biggrin:

I also like their historical ignorance in attempting to use Ohio A&M as an insult when their institution lobbied, begged, pleaded and did everything short of offering to toss Rutherford B. Hayes' salad for the honor of being designated as Ohio's land grant university but were rudely rejected by the Governor, legislature and business leadership of the day as an unworthy craphole of a college that had done next to nothing in its first sixty years of existence towards providing the state of Ohio with a proper public flagship university. They went to the trouble and expense--making them completely unique among Great Lakes states--of founding an entirely new university to fulfill this role rather than taking the chance that the existing school would eff it up.

Here's something for them to think about. If their school hadn't been such a freakin' joke, Ohio State would never have been created.

Ohio U....were passed over.

OU's offense is awful. VERY VERY awful. No running game...a terrible QB. Their O-line is awful. Our defense should have a field day. OU's defense is okay, but probably won't give us too many problems. Maybe if we come out flat, we could end up struggling to score a bunch of points, but I don't see OU scoring any. I think our offense will go out, have fun, and be relaxed. The scoreboard won't be more impressive than our win against Marshall, but watching the actually game we will look more impressive. I think we will have three or four hundred more total yards than OU. OU won't score (not even on special teams).

Ohio State 37
OU 0

Hey guess what, its

IRRATIONAL FEARS TUESDAY

Ohio is ranked 9th in total defense, and 30th in scoring defense. THEIR DEFENSE IS BETTER THAN OURS!

If anyone tries to tell you that a sample size of two games hardly amounts to anything, TELL THEM THEY'RE FULL OF [censored]. We're screwed. Nobody holds Wofford to just 10 points. NOBODY.

But look at who's #1 in red zone defense. :wink:

I think that the "scoring defense" is just an average of points given up. In reality our defense has given up 10 points in 2 games or 5 points per game which is pretty effing good. I'm sure the rankings use 7 and 24 for an average of 15.5 points per game.

Correct. It's based off of the score only. Not who actually allowed those points.

Have to correct your history there.

Thank god there was never an American Western University :p

While AWU was potentially the name for Ohio University, it never opened with that name. It was RE-charted as Ohio University and thus why we claim 1804 as the establishment date versus 1802 that would have been AWU. :sneaky:

And ORD... stop your lies... it was a conspiracy I tell ya! Hayes knew there would be a coach that came around later with his name, so he wanted to piggyback onto that name. :biggrin:

Yeah! What he said! ORD needs to study up and spend more time on the Fredo U boards if he is going to come up with more smack.

And another thing....Anyone seen wearing Ohio State paraphernalia on campus this week, ESPECIALLY ON GAME DAY should be confronted. In an ideal world if the offender is a current student, they should be reported to Dean of Students office and expelled from school.

If you want to be an OSU fan that bad where you are willing to root against your own school than go to Columbus for an education.

Really? Confront students over an in-state FOOTBALL game? I'm not saying that it wouldn't happen at Ohio State either, but wow, way to be an internet tough guy :shake:

Wherever those rankings come from, if they count special teams scores, then they are stupid rankings. This isn't 1927 anymore, most teams have dedicated special teams personnel and those scores shouldn't count against the D. Pick six's should not count as well (nor should blocked field goal tries). If anything, subtract those points from the offensive scoring.
