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

"We'll see," Harbaugh said regarding Speight's status this week. "He's day-to-day."

Speight's playing.

Not that I'm some conspiracy nut, nor do I think it'll make a HUGE difference, but it's certainly funny that earlier this week, Speight's was out until at least their bowl game, then today he's dressed and this little tidbit above...

Whatever they feel they need for some perceived advantage, I suppose. :lol:

OHIO STATE'S PLAYERS FINALLY ABLE TO DISCUSS MATCHUP WITH MICHIGAN FOR FIRST TIME

76899_h.jpg,qitok=tMcVihQ7.pagespeed.ce.9irO9rPDBP.jpg


Urban Meyer had not even been asked a question before bringing it up.

“We’ll take the win against a team that we know very well on the road in November,” Ohio State’s head coach said following his team’s 17-16 victory over Michigan State on Saturday. “We’re 10-1 and gotta get ready for our rivalry week.”

Meyer understood all along what was waiting at the end of the season for his Buckeyes. For obvious reasons, he never talked about it up until his opening statement after Saturday’s victory against the Spartans.

For Ohio State, all hands are now on deck for Michigan.

And why wouldn’t they be? This is the biggest meeting between the two teams since the 2006 game when they were Nos. 1 and 2 in the country, respectively. The Buckeyes and Wolverines currently sit at Nos. 2 and 3 in the polls; next Saturday’s game has massive implications.

The loser cannot make the Big Ten championship game and is also likely eliminated from College Football Playoff contention. If Michigan wins, it goes to Indianapolis to play for a league title. If Ohio State wins, the Buckeyes are in solid position to earn a Playoff bid even if they don’t get the Penn State loss needed to get to Indianapolis.

The 113th version of The Game has everything you could possibly ask for.

“It’s the big week we’ve all been waiting for,” Ohio State redshirt sophomore junior defensive end Sam Hubbard said.

.
Running back Mike Weber: “Right now, we’re looking at it as the national championship and that’s how we’re supposed to look at it. We’re going to go out all week, work hard at it and try to execute that game plan.”

There will be plenty more to say throughout the week, from both Ohio State and Michigan, as the biggest game in the rivalry in the last decade now sits just six days away. We only got a glimpse of what is to come after the Buckeyes’ victory over the Spartans on Saturday.

With so much on the line in this year’s version of college football’s best rivalry, how could it possibly get any better?

“It’s officially rivalry week,” Meyer said.

Indeed it is.

My 4 month old son is going to learn the true meaning of hate this week as well as an entirely new vocabulary (specially designed by NASA scientists) for FUCK MICHIGAN WEEK!!!!!

Seriously? What kind of parent teach their child to hate an entire another state at age 4? That is simply unacceptable and I'm half tempted to report you to CPS.




Your kid should already know it by age 2 at the oldest.

It doesn't seem possible but it's already been 10 years since the 1 vs 2 game in 2006.

I flew to Ohio and went to The Game with my cousin. The family stayed home (Florida at the time), my daughter was only 8 and my son was an infant.

Now, we've been in Philadelphia for 5 years. My daughter is coming home from college to see us for a few days this week and I'm taking my 11 year old son back for his third edition of The Game.

The seasons do indeed pass and the years roll far too quickly.

So true. Which is why I am in no rush for Saturday to arrive. Enjoy the slow burn up to The Game. And then enjoy it with your son. I don't get to as many games as I used to, but my son and I were in Dallas for the NC 2 years ago. The memories are priceless.
