Is that true? Not trying to call you out, I'd just be curious to see how often we've covered the spread in a game where the spread is over, say, 7 points.

I can only easily find historical spread data going back to 1985.

Using -7 or more favorite in home games leaves you only

2008 -20.5 W 42-7
2010 -16.5 W 37-7


In 1996 we were -17.5 at home but that was under Cooper and so fuck him.

Another bit of statistics to maybe support this notion, taken from LJB's post in the TSUN thread:

Fun facts about *ichigan:

From 1891 to 2007 (116 seasons), *ichigan lost 6 or more games in a season seven times (1934, 1936, 1958, 1962, 1965, 1967, 1984).

From 2008 to 2014 (7 seasons), *ichigan has lost 6 or more games in a season five times (2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014).

Here are the results from The Game in each of those 6-loss seasons:

1934: OSU 34, UM 0
1936: OSU 21, UM 0
1958: OSU 20, UM 14
1962: OSU 28, UM 0
1965: OSU 9, UM 7
1967: OSU 24, UM 14
1984: OSU 21, UM 6
2008: OSU 42, UM 7
2009: OSU 21, UM 10
2010: OSU 37, UM 7
2013: OSU 42, UM 41

When the Buckeyes face a truly awful Team up North, it seems they take care of business.

They need to kick that ass again this year.

Needed this, too.........I was there that day. Will never forget it. :urban2:

Same here.

In the still on that script Ohio video you see a little sliver of sunlight up in C deck. That has where I was.

2002
2006
2012
2014 will be the ones I have seen live

Not a bad list if you have only made it back home for 3 and counting I must say.

My list includes 1998 (student and saw a win, finally), 2002 (still have some grass), 2006 (again still have some stinking grass in a ziploc bag), and this weekend. Not sure if we'll be tailgating around the ag building or behind the Fawcett center.
