Game Thread THE GAME, 11/26/16, 12pm ET, ABC

So, who is everyone's pick for a breakout game? I think Noah Brown is going to reemerge.

My guess is whichever lucky sumbitch gets to line up across from KyLLLLe KaLLLLis most often.

They didn't run peppers a single time against State Penn or Wisconsin, I think even Hairball is smart enough to figure out that it doesn't work against "better" defenses

Take away those 74 yards on 3 carries against a beyond awful Rutgers team and ole Jabrill has a grand 89 yards rushing on the season (with a excellent 2 catches for 3 yards receiving!)

All the more hilarious that scUM fans still like to make him out as some sort of offense super weapon.

If you're going to take away his Rutgers runs, then he only has 1 TD on O this season, and one Punt Return TD. LOLZ

OZone for the win

If You Are Younger Than 94 Years Old, Then Ohio State Has a Winning Record Over Michigan in Your Lifetime

The thing about this is...if they don't beat Ohio State this year, yeah, they get them next year in AA, BUT the team they will get is the team that is currently #2 and the youngest team in CFB. This team returns almost everybody and is only going to get better. Meanwhile, the team that Autistic Whore and scUM are going to field next year is going to lose a lot of upperclassmen and I highly doubt they have the same horses to replace them that Ohio State had this year. Even if they do have some real talent waiting in the wings, Ohio State is clearly going to still hold the edge there with talent AND experience. 0-3 is a real possibility if they don't get over the hump this year.

They aren't losing a lot. They're losing almost every starter.

18 starters graduate and peppers leaves also. Hurst could.

Unlike Osu, which had 4.25 elite classes to lean upon, Michigan is losing their star studded 2013 class, which is replaced by the very meager late efforts by hoke. harbaugh has not recruited like Meyer and even if he did, they will be largely 1st or 2nd year players. The veterans are lacking severely in talent on paper.

I didn't want to start doing research when I posted that but I just figured some were juniors who would be better served returning to school than entering the draft. That said, you are dead on with the bolded part. It all goes to show that it's this year for them or things could get ugly.

 

[Honor&Glory]

Given it's Thanksgiving, here's a start to a few things I'm thankful for:

- Llllllloyd Carr
- Appalachian State
- Mike 0-4 Hart
- RichRod
- Brady Hoke
- Dave Brandon
- Jimbo. Get their hopes and expectations up just so we can beat them down like Nicky Santoro at the end of Casino.

Opposite of this but I am thankful for:



Woody Hayes
Ohio Stadium
Jim Tressel
TBDBITL
Script Ohio
Being born in Ohio and embracing my Buckeye heritage
High Street
Brutus Buckeye
Skull Session
Varsity Club
Block 'O'
Urban Meyer
Paul Brown
River Watch
Street Venders
The old days when Lane Avenue was closed off and open container (allegedly) around Conrads/Hineygate

And every young man who has been blessed with the privilege of wearing the Scarlet and Gray and representing all of us on the field every year in late November by curb stomping those rat bastards from up north.

Go Bucks. Beat blue

Fuck *ichigan.

[jwinslow]

that's waiting until the end of year four to right the ship if they don't win now


18 starters gone
19. Peppers gone
20. (center) considering

Oh, and the best reserve DL , Hurst, is deliberating as well

 

[Hstead]

The real question is, will urban score late or stay pat on 42 to keep that streak going?

 

[Telekinesis]

Wish I could be a fly on the wall in there before The Game on Saturday just to hear Urban speak. Good times.

Re: 18 starters graduate

I'm guessing it is more accurate to say "18 starters used up all 4 years of their eligibility", I seriously doubt that all 18 scUM players will ever graduate*..........

* unless they transfer to McDonald's "Hamburger University" for a career in making french fires......

Yeah, I know graduation alone does not make you ineligible for another year.

so since they believe they are better than OSU

1. They need to put 12 of those 18 into the NFL
2. They need to go 10-1 and be ranked at least CFP #2 with multiple road wins over top 10 teams heading into The Game '17

That is just to be even

you're missing some hardware and a humbling of Bama.
