2021: scUM loses to MSU and we beat MSU 56-7 (49-0 at halftime). That's not how CFB works but I expect no less of those mongoloids

TCUN can definitely win the game, however, financial interests want to build up the intrigue of TCUN being the next coming of Christ.

I think going on 3 years with significant injuries, it's time to figure out if it's training, the field or some other thing is the issue, because no other team seems to have as many injuries as OSU has every week.

How did this turn into an F1 thread?
Nah, F1 is boring and over rated imo
Not enough chaos. Tire wars + 2 classes of cars + a little recklessness = good entertainment. A lot of places exchanged on track, rather than in pit strategy.
Similar reasons i prefer NCAAF over NFL.
But to answer the question, because we're talking about how sneaky under rated McCord has been. There's times where he can be frustrating, but so far he balls out when he needs to. And i have a ton of respect for that.

Excluding 2020 when we only played 8 games, we have won 10+ games in 17 of the last 18 years. Remarkable consistency

Since this thread already went off the rails, what happened to the prescription grass that was so big at that time? Wasn’t tOSU and MSUs turf management programs some of the best? Didn’t the Shoe have a state of the art drainage system to keep the field at the right moisture level?

2006 was super freaking rainy, and they had to replace the grass twice, which makes sense since they lowered the field like 18 feet. I'm pretty sure it's lower than the Olentangy, and it's pretty hard to get water to drain when it's lower than the water table. So they gave up.

Purdue News: Advantages of prescription athletic turf
Prescription Athletic Turf provides the benefits of natural grass without the disadvantages of muddy or parched fields. The system substantially reduces maintenence, and, because the field is able to drain itself, the field can be perfectly level.Athletes prefer grass fields over artificial turf because the natural turf is less likely to produce scrapes, bruises and "rug burns" and aggravate pre-existing knee or ankle injuries.
Never to be forgotten, finally, is the esthetic pleasure fans and athletes get from an event played on natural grass.
How prescription athletic turf works
The Prescription Athletic Turf system was developed at Purdue University by agronomy Professor Emeritus William H. Daniel in 1971 because of the need for a safe and consistent athletic playing surface. It uses an underground system of vacuums, moisture sensors and drain pipes to either drain excess water from the field or to backflow and send water to the grass roots. Under the turf is a twoply plastic sheet that seals off the field from the surrounding earth. The growing medium above the liner is largely sand, which aids in drainage.

The system was first installed at Purdue's Ross-Ade Stadium in 1974. Since then it has been installed in such well known athletic venues as Chicago's Soldier Field, Denver's Mile High Stadium, Miami's orange Bowl and Joe Robbie Stadium, and Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium. In the Big Ten, Ohio State, Iowa and Michigan have joined Purdue in installing the Prescription Athletic Turf system.
