Maybe I'll get it back by noon tomorrow, but some of the shine was taken off this game for me with the Bucks performance last week. I understand there is still an avenue to reach the B1G CG and the playoffs. That avenue consists of Penn State beating Sparty. Impossible? No, but c'mon. That's not happening. So, we beat scUM, go to a New Year's Six game, and post a really fine 12-1 record. That's great - except for the year when the expectations were higher.

Oh, I'll scream at the TV, cheer for the Bucks, and curse scUM. But right now, the intensity isn't there.

Pray for me. I'm in a crisis of fandom.

If I may;

Your premise on the playoff issue is not completely accurate. I won't judge you on letting playoffs affect The Game, nor will I belabor the scenarios (see proper thread) but suffice it to say if OSU takes care of business the road to an at large playoff berth isn't exactly lottery odds against.

Your intensity issue is one of a lack of focus. I'd suggest a fifth of something you like, some quiet time in front of a computer and pictures of Harbaugh (shirt on or off is up to you-again I won't judge your life choices). Maybe read some of the recruiting nonsense he and Bonaduce's kid have been up to. Read some of his quotes. Just immerse yourself in the aura of that collar popping, arrogant, guarantee giving, cleat wearing, referee whining douchecano *ichigan Man and you should have no troubles.

I personally also watch a lot of old games all week (home or away depending on the year) to saturate my subconscious with the sights, sounds and emotions of Buckeye victory. This year I might recommend the following vintages; '73, '75, '79, '81, '87, '01, '05, '13. Watch Tiebreaker. Watch the HBO special from 2006. Watch Marcus Hall give the double eagle.

Bottom line is that YouTube and a bottle of your favorite thing is all you need. There are still 25 hours and 15 minutes. It's never too late and Woody will always be watching over you.

GO Bucks

Fuck *ichigan

Watched the 06 game again about 3 times this week. Can we please get a couple of those play calls for this game on Saturday?

Man did we spread the field that year and go all over the place! This team can do that if the people on the headsets will just go for it.

Fuck michigan!!!!

I remember......was lucky enough to see 2006 live in the 'shoe.

Believe me, I'm with you, Man, but looking at the decisions of the O staff this season that's a big "if". This team's got it. Hope they get a chance to prove it.

I hope I never reach the point where 12-1 and a win over scUM is cause for disappointment. Expectations were higher? They're always higher. But if the only time you can be happy is 15-0, disappointment is going to happen more often than not. Try not to take the fun out of being a Buckeye. Otherwise, you might as well be rooting for a team that tears down the goal posts when they become bowl eligible.
