Game Thread Ohio State vs Florida Atlantic - 08/31/19, 12:00PM (FOX)

[Jaxbuck]

I have no idea what to expect for this season. I'm worried people may be expecting too much from Fields. I expect a drop off from Haskins, Barrett, and Braxton. Will he still be good enough to win the Big Ten? I guess we'll find out.

I'm with you. Have a feeling the offense will take some time to get going and we are all subconsciously expecting to see it pick right up from last year.

I also have a feeling that the athletes on defense are going to be put in a position to do some damage.

Hopefully by the second half, they are firing on all cylinders

 

[Best Buckeye]

I disagree respectfully. I think Fields is a superb talent and that the offense hits the ground running. I think our receivers have way too much speed. Blowout.

 

[OhioState001]

We also don't know what we have in Day as a coach. Yes he did well last year but this is a completely different animal. I'm concerned

 

[Jaxbuck]

Upon further reflection regarding the turn over chain thing;


The last thing that came out of Miami that everyone thought was cool as hell for about a year then turned out to be this level of gay was Vanilla Ice.

Abandon hope, all ye who voluntarily enter that circle of the Lame Inferno.

You could absolutely be right which is what is intriguing about this year.

Seems like there could be a very big gap between floor and ceiling.

I have a metric shit ton of faith in Day however

By that picture, it doesn't appear you have one

What! Those kids stole the lawn!??! Where's the 12 gague?

Yep, downsized this spring. Sold the house, the lawn, and the riding mower, but I didn't seel the Scarlet and Gray flag and my Buckeye spirit.

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

I think we score 42 or 49 before we go in to make half time adjustments...but I'm feeling giddy.

Ohio State needs 3 things to make it to the CFP this year:

1. Justin Fields to be good.
2. LBs to do LB things.
3. Watch out for the trap

 

[BUCKYLE]

Slaughter. My hope is that Mike Thomas shows up and talks shit to Kiffin and makes him cry.

56-6

You left out, "give Harbaugh a fifth."

 

[Best Buckeye]

Drearily....
Passes the time.
Play the dirge of the passing of time, so long the offseason
Remove from my heart the scourge of waiting, waiting,
waiting for the sound of boot against leather ball, the long awaited cheers of Buckeye faithful resounding the continuation of life.
Come to me the thrill of the Horseshoe. ease my pain.
Waiting for the beat of my heart, the filling of my lungs with Buckeye joy.
yet another eternity to game time......

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Definitely implied.

 

[cincibuck]

This one got me singing and screaming.

"And when the ball goes over,
Our cheers will reach the sky.
Ohio's hills will ring once more,
with the Buckeye Battle Cry!"

Urban says: “I like Ohio State as well..”

You do??

If you aren’t watching Big Noon Kickoff on Fox you might want to fix that. Urban sitting down with a Ryan Day coming up, live shots from the Skull Session, etc.
