With pleasure.

He even did some Madden work on the telestrator for us.

Can we get a printout of that for Meyer to shove in the pocket of that official old school style?

 

[OHSportsFan]

OK, I'm ready for this 2nd half to start. Come on

 

[Bestbuck36]

For crying the fuck out loud. Joel Klatt is not a Michigan fan. Stop with this nonsense.

I would agree. I think he just offsets Gus' excitement which tends to be Pro-Buckeye. Effort to call it down the middle.

 

[kujirakira]

The one caveat j would add is wait for Wisconsin. Road games are tough, and maybe for whatever reason this team can't handle it. Neutral site games are different. If they squeaked out a win vs Wisconsin I agree with you.

Neutral my ass. Sugar Bowl against SEC Champ is not "neutral" in the slightest.

 

[buckmouse]

This. He's just an obnoxious [Mark May]-wagon.

Doesn't your remote have a MUTE button???

 

[Woody1968]

That’s so stupid we’re about to run it as a play call on first down. Get it? Cuz our play calls on first down have been mostly stupid?

Holy [Mark May] is that stupid.

Yeah, I'm sure if you keep calling me stupid, it will make you right at some point. It is my opinion.

Things went better when the Jameson came in to sub for Baileys and coffee after the first quarter. We’ll come out to start the second half with the winning lineup in place

Probably wouldn't do much. College officials only call holding when they absolutely want to make their presence felt. Plus, we don't need Harbaugh antics. Just need to beat them the fuck down in the second half. Break their will.

 

[LostLassie]

This is such a ridiculous position, imo.

Even last year, getting thumped by the eventual champs was better than playing in a NYE exhibition vs Notre Dame, both for recruitment and for future playoff implications.

I will never believe that losing in a playoff game is better than winning anywhere else. You're not remembered for going. You're remembered for winning.

Would you seriously argue that being skunked by Clemson last year was a positive for tOSU's image? If so, please explain how.,

You must be new to OSU football. Even if it's 60/40, that's a hell of a lot different than 90/10.

 

[dragurd]

OSU is averaging 5.5 ypc (ignoring the bad snap) and 3.9 ypa passing. That's putrid. Pound the ball, when they start to stop you the only way they can by adding guys, then pass it.

Eh our first down runs were pathetic to start the game. We should throw a bit on first down to break tendencies if they shove 8 or 9 in the box.

 

[TooTall]

Pshhhh.. Then I wouldn't hear gem's like this from Gus!

 

[Tanner]

Why isn't Campbell returning kicks anymore?

That was the problem... you were drinking a half-arsed Irish Coffee. Gotta put the Jameson in there with it.

Well not if you perform well and lose. That is better than winning an exhibition game. But yes, after the fact if you get blown out you'd rather win an exhibition. But you can't know that will happen.
