Some random thoughts.
- I haven’t minded the alternate jerseys in the moment but as I watch highlights through the years, just give me the standard Buckeye look
- Troy Smith is the man. Kid threw an amazing ball. And that ball fake on handoffs…
- Harbaugh was absolutely lost in this game and was getting his ass kicked until a global pandemic and cheating system was implemented. I hate, HATE that he gets to walk away and people think he was a winner in The Game. He was 0-5 before the world got turned on its head and they cheated.
- The 2016 Game was so loud and memorable. It definitely took years off my life but I’ll always remember the W.
-2018 was an ass beating I’m ready to see again. Offensive clinic in The Shoe
I want to punch every one of those pricks. I fucking hate that team and every thing about them.
Just win on Saturday and nothing else matters.

Has a team ever won by only kicking field goals when the other team scores at least 1 TD?.... 
scarletandgame.com
For most of the 1970’s, Ohio State-Michigan games were tightly played affairs. It wasn’t just every yard mattered, but it felt like every inch mattered. The 1974 meeting was decided by a foot. A foot that belonged to a most unlikely Buckeye hero, a native of Czechoslovakia who kicked four field goals to almost single-handedly beat the Wolverines.
Coming into the season-ending meeting with their undefeated rival, Tom Klaban had attempted just six field goals through the first the Buckeyes’ first ten games and had made only four. He had a long of 43 yards and had missed from 45. It’s safe to say there wasn’t anyone out there who could have predicted Klaban was about to become an Ohio State legend.
The 71st meeting between the two college football titans did not start well for the Buckeyes when Michigan jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead. But the Ohio State defense buckled down and the offense began to gain some traction. On the first play of the second quarter, Klaban hit the first of his four tries, which was a season-long 47-yarder to get the Buckeyes on the board.
Not long after, linebacker Bruce Elia intercepted Michigan quarterback Dennis Franklin (from Massillon). From 25 yards out, Klaban made it a 10-6 game. That would be his shortest attempt of the game.
The Buckeyes’ first-half scoring wasn’t quite finished. Taking over at their own 20-yard line with 1:11 to go in the half, they drove into scoring position again. The key play was when Cornelius Green found split end Dave Hazel wide open down the right sideline for a 26-yard gain that put the ball inside the Michigan 30 with just seconds remaining. Klaban brought the Buckeyes to within a point when he nailed a 43-yarder as time expired in the half.
Klaban’s final field goal did not come on the game’s final play after a last-minute desperation drive by the Buckeyes. Rather, it came early in the third quarter after a poor Michigan punt and a good return by Brian Baschnagel put the ball in Wolverine territory.
What proved to be the game-winning points came with 10:09 left in the quarter when Klaban drilled his 45-yard attempt from the right hashmark to give Ohio State a 12-10 lead. When Michigan kicker Mike Lantry missed a last-second 33-yard field goal attempt, Klaban’s place as an Ohio State legend had been cemented.
With that miss, Lantry also cemented himself a place in Michigan football history. It was the second year in a row that the Vietnam veteran had missed a potential game-winning kick against the Buckeyes.....

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Just sayin': Pretty good article especially considering it is on "Barstool Sports"......
I'm going to be short and sweet with this one: this is both tragically sad, as well as exactly what I needed to hear from Ryan Day. For those of you who didn't know, Ryan Day's dad killed himself when he was only 9 years old. It's perhaps the saddest thing to think about in the entire world. And next on the totem pole is losing to Michigan. And that's not a joke. You can hear it in his voice. You can see it in his face.
The fact of the matter is that this game means more to the people of Ohio than anything else does in the entire world. And I know you'll have your out-of-state students that came here to party, and your Quarterbacks from Pennsylvania who came here to develop and get NFL money, and your commenters from other parts of the country that say otherwise....but they simply don't get it. There's people that want to beat their rival, sure. But then there's people that grew up in Ohio that need to beat Michigan. Can't function if you don't, let alone keep food down or breathe properly. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: I'd rather go 1-11 and beat Michigan than go 11-1 and lose to those motherfuckers. People say I'm lying. People say I'm wrong. People say I'm crazy. But those people didn't grow up in Ohio.
There's not a person in my entire family that isn't a Buckeye. And there's something different for Ohioans when it comes to this Rivalry. And let me say this, to all the people that call this Hate Week and cross out the Ms, I'm out on that. It's not one week, it's 365 days a year in my family. We don't vacation there. We don't spend money there. And we make sure the gas tank is full if we ever have to drive through there. Because you don't pay taxes in Michigan, when that money ultimately goes to that fucking school. I learned that from my Grandpa, who taught it to my Dad, who taught it to my brother (Class of 2014) and me (Class of 2015 - National Champion). And I also learned it from Jim Tressel, the coach of the Buckeyes as I grew up. And I learned it from Urban Meyer, the coach of the Buckeyes as I went to school there. We don't lose to them. We prepare 364 days a year to beat them so when that 1 day in late November comes that determines our mood for the next 11.99 months, we win.
So yeah, it's been heart breaking each November to lose. I don't use heart breaking as an exaggeration, either. I think losing last year was the worst day of my entire life. And now we take out that anger, that 4 years of pent up anger, we take it out on them on Saturday in the Shoe. Ohio State is going to kick the fucking shit out of Michigan. And they will say it's because they're having a down year, fine. My responses would be that we don't have bad years. And also that if your 6-5 record makes this not hurt as bad when we hang 100 on Saturday, you're a fake ass fan anyways.
Ryan Day Says Losing To Michigan Is One Of The Worst Things That's Ever Happened To Him, Aside From Losing His Dad At 9 Years Old

Very well put, brother. Let's get a TD on the last play of the game to make it 70-6. Line it up in Coach Hayes' robust T and punch it in for 2!! (Because, of course, that they won't let you go for 3!!).
