Anyone else think this game was very reminiscent of last year's game at Iowa?

The Iowa fans were more rowdy, and were louder for a longer peiod of time. Both groups of fans were noticeably quieter after they got down by a couple of TD's, though. :wink2:

Iowa was a much more intimidating environment. Fortunately, the team was well-prepared in each case. Gotta love JT.

I've read the thread, but not the articles that were posted within.

I didn't see any mention of the non-TD for Purdue on the play before they scored. The RB (Dierking, I believe) got hit on the 1-foot line, turned around, and went over the goal line. Herbie and Musberger (I've watched my recording of the game) stated that it should have been a TD.

The reason it wasn't a TD was because they ruled the play dead when his helmet came off. By rule, they protect a ball-carrier without a helmet by blowing the play dead. There was an announcement in the stadium that was hard to hear because the tOSU fans were urging the defense to preserve the shutout.

I wondered about that because it was clear that the ball cross way over the line.

anyone else notice at the end of the second half, we should have had to run another play but the play clock never started so we just let the clock keep running

Neither Musberger or Herbie noticed it but we let a good 35 seconds run and took it to the locker room

I was talking with my brother and we were perplexed about JT telling Boeckman to bomb away. Then it hit me...was Tressel throwing the ball deep to prepare Purdue for Michigan? Think about it...Michigan is gonna test their secondary. Think about it

Nope, or he would have gone with run left, run left, pass.

Good game report.

7) For about a quarter or two of the game, there was the smell of ass that permeated the stadium. Don't know if it was from a local farm or what but the best way to describe the smell is this: Imagine someone taking a shit, not wiping their ass and then running a marathon in 90 degree heat.

What would a Thump road report be without an Anal reference? :wink2:
I reckon that must be Painter, who evidently sharted himself, then it must have spread like wildfire through the rest of the Purdue bench.

11) The Bucks appear to be getting better which is a good sign as we get into the meat of our schedule.

Hope you're right (and I think you are).

There was an interesting tidbit I took from the Tressel show on 1460 that afternoon. (Which I heard on the road). It kind of loops back to the one criticism you make of the Buckeyes play in the game, Boeckmann's tendency to not get the ball in to his receivers early enough, or with enough velocity. He made it sound as if Todd had the best Quarterback's meeting that day yet. Had a full grasp of the game plan, knew when he was going to throw a pattern, for which reason and to whom. Can't recall the precise wording he used, but, it sums to this. Now is the time for Todd to work on the finer points of his game.

The Defense is already pumping on all cylinders. Only the Offense sometimes comes up short - and yesterday a lot of that was down to those Interceptions.

Imagine if they do keep getting better on Offense - those Interceptions were so deep, anyone caught and converted to a score make the scoreboard reflect what we saw on TV or in person. Total domination.

Then imagine that and the Defense becoming still crisper, actually making picks, causing fumbles, getting the unconventional scores - a truly frightening prospect for our future opponents.

Anybody else almost puke from the rancid stench in Ross-Ade yesterday? I swear, apparently the entire stadium smelled of fecal matter. Something about sewage backups. We thought it was a combination of the campus in the middle of the farms and everybody tailgating in the 95 degree weather all day.

It was nasty, I thought the stadium was downwind from some just-fertilized farms. The tailgate lots after the game were a total mess, but I heard that the Penn State players were going to clean that up.

If that damn band wouldn't have been playing (btw, i thought they sucked, how are they going to china for the olympics?) we would have been doing O-H-I-O in the first quarter, the O-H had it going.. :biggrin:

6) The Blackout was a fucking joke. Talk about one of the least intimidating places to play a road game.

The traffic getting out of that place was a fucking nightmare!!

The blackout was a joke. My buddy today said the TV looked "black" and I started laughing, didn't look black in person.

Was the smell everywhere or were you sitting down in front of me Thump? The dickhead Purdue fan next to me was smelling himself :slappy:

We had a great spot, we rolled in about 4:30 and snuck right into a spot that was free and a 5 minute walk to the stadium. Luckily all the Purdue fans had already left :tongue2: Now the line at Arbys is a diffrent story.
