Game Thread Ohio State vs Penn State, 10/28/17 @ 3:30 ET (FOX)

Yup, mid 40s and low chance of rain. 10MPH westerly winds. Good day for football if it holds. Hell, it looks like you might get some sunlight breaking through the clouds in the game.

Hopefully those rays pour in when PSU is on offense and pierce McSorley’s eyes with the scorching of a thousand suns.

This feels even bigger somehow then the 06 The Game...most likely because they're ranked higher, there's so much unknown about our team, and they're so dangerous. However I think it's also because we need this and for the fact that we've won the big ten title only one time (twice technically) in the past five seasons.

Urban needs this, JT needs this, and hell the program needs it. Urban said it best today In that if all we do is beat crap teams it just makes us bullys. Have to do it against a good team and it starts this Saturday.

Win the LOS, attack Trace all game, and don't screw up on STs.


God, I hope it's not like 2008. The year I sold my 50 yd Michigan tickets in favor of going to the PSU game. One of the most disappointing trips to the Shoe ever. I've hated those fuckers ever since.

This feels like MSU 14. This is not an all-timer, as this may not be one of Urban's top-3 squads if this goes sideways.

Getting an oil change. First time in weeks I’ve had time to log on to BP.

Been angling for the job opportunity of a lifetime. I got it. Now I’m moving to Florida. It had to be this weekend. This will be the first game I miss in quite some time.

I know this isn’t a popular opinion here but I love the team embracing the whole Wolf vs Lion, Stark vs Lannister, Good vs Evil thing.

Fuck Penn State

The North Remembers

Congrats on the job! From one recent Floridian to another, Welcome! It takes a bit of time to adjust to the weirdos, overabundance of 'Bama fans and bad drivers (seriously, it's like everyone's first day on the road). But, I think you'll find a good amount of tOSU fans down here. And, best of all-- not nearly as many PSU & scUM retards. Have yet to see a Pedster, thank God.

EDIT: Not sure where in FL you'll be this weekend but check out the alumni sites and you should find at least two bars in the area. In Tampa I recommend The Outpost or O'Briens.

Woke up this morning thinking it was Tuesday so I took my son to the Library for kid story time only to find out it is Wednesday. Mildly confused, I read him some books then came home. Then I log in here and see that there is a 330 blackout at the Shoe on Saturday? Now I'm full confusion mode and still skeptical that it is indeed Wednesday. Should have called it Eclipse the Shoe or something. Or just had a normal game for everyone with normal uniforms and no special dress up while we destroy St Penn. Blackout?!?!... Is it really Wednesday? What is going on?????



You're lucky. Every single day I wake up disappointed it's not yet Saturday.

I-75 between Dayton and Cincinnati is still the worst. I’ve been all over, and my God, nothing like coming back from a trip and dealing with the idiots on 75.

So, just a reminder, drivers here aren’t doing us any favors!

Here’s a real scenario going to get pizza with the wife the other day:

Me: Go ahead and call it in while we’re heading that way.

Her: Ok. *dials number*

Pizza joint: “What’ll it be?” (paraphrasing)

Me, getting cut off badly: YOUR LANE IS ENDING, MOTHE%#!!!%!!!

Pizza joint: .......

Wife, who is now irate and hates me: :mad1::pissed::yow1:

Yeah I can see that and just like then we are now at a crossroad. If we didn't beat MSU that could've given Sparty the opportunity to kind of grab hold of the big ten and especially the big ten east. Right now Ped has a shit load of program momentum and to be honest our momentum has slowed a good deal due to our two high profile losses. We cannot let these guys grab hold of the big ten east for two straight years with the prospects of having to go to Ped next year (Even though they lose a crap load after this year)



Ok so now that this game is upon us... Lets hear what your guys' predictions are and what is your final score prediction?

1. We are going to come out very hot and we are going to really seize the early momentum
2. They're going to struggle with our DL and that pressure is going to force a really bad turnover
3. We will do something to let them back in the game. Something like a turnover, allow a big return, or allow a big play.
4. We will start to get bigger plays as the game goes on and will finally pull away late.

we win 34-24

I love this build up... nothing like being ready to scream on Sunday because you have to wait 6 days to watch the bucks and then watching the game slowly appear. By the time this game comes on I'm going to be pretty well lit and I assure you the first big play I let out a week of excitement out.

Hopefully we win but this is what it's all about.

I called 42-21 earlier. I’m sticking with it. I think the Bucks rally and lock them down, allowing a late score to make it look closer than it really was.
