I don't want to live in a world where teams can cut off opponents' communications with no accountability. Calling for an investigation into why OSU lost their comms in the 2nd half.

not to side with them, but has anyone official said anything about a loss of comms? I know the announcers mentioned it as a possibility, but anything from people actually on the sideline trying to use said comms? Maybe they just used the sideline playcalling as a slow down tactic.

Beachiest season I’ve ever lived through! If we hadn’t had the progressions of the running game along with Julian Sayin’s confidence/maturation to follow, things might have gotten a little boring. As it turned out, so so so good.

Based on what metric? Regular season in 2002 was 13-0. So if you're going straight record, then 2002 wins that.
Of course, margin of victory and other stress factors were higher in 2002. If you're using margin of victory, I doubt 2002 wins it.

Ya think? 2002 probably shows up in increased mortality statistics for the state of Ohio for 2002 and, due to stress-related delayed onset of coronary disease, the next five years. Hell, if I die before I’m 100, I’ll suspect 2002 will be a big part of the reason why, although it will have been worth it.

Sorry, but I disagree.

Between Texas and UM my blood pressure never got above 120. If PSU and Illinois had played their roles I might agree. But just a bunch of scrimmage games on most Saturdays. Who wants to test drive a Lamorghini thru a school zone?

Now the next few weeks - that's a different story.

Using Fan Heart Rate per Game (FHRPG) as my metric this has been the best season in my 50 some odd years of watching.

2002 had a FHRPG score that will never be seen again (at least not by me because I will fucking die).

That season had me smoking cigarettes while saying things like "we're gonna lose to fucking Purdue!"

Absolutely agree.

The 2002 team may have been the least deserving NC in history. If six plays had gone a different way that team ccould have finished .500. And any of you young pups who aren't familiar with how those games played out you owe it to yourselves to do some research.*

But those plays didn't go the other way and that was an incredible year.

*I refreshed my own memory so here is a brief recap:

Scored with 4 minutes left against Cincinnati to win by 4.
Scored the only TD of the second half in the 4th quarter to beat Wisconsin by 5.
Needed a Chris Gamble interception return (which could have been called for interference) to beat PSU BY 6.
If you aren't familiar with "Holy Buckeye" against Purdue why are you even here? That was a 4th and ball game call to win by 4.
Beat Illinois by 7 - in frickin OT.
Intercepted a pass in the endzone with one second left to beat UM by 5. And this after taking the lead with less than 5 minutes remaining.
And the tension in the Fiesta Bowl itself was beyond description. The McGahee injury, the Doss interception, the Dorsey funble, the Clarett strip, the holding on Gamble. Just a few of the plays that decided that game.
