Oh no I'm fine other than the pure burning hatred

Ok good.

Over the last few years Ive tried to distance myself from the losses. It still hurts whenever we lose, but a loss like this one no longer haunts my dreams for the next month.

And it's tough because OSU has been my team since I was a kid in the mid/late 90s. But as I get older, I realize that I should never ruminate over things I have no control over, especially football games when I have so many other things to worry about.

It's been a difference maker in my mental health during football season and I still get to enjoy all the games I normally do.

This team needs go full on fucking Rocky IV and hold preseason camp in Siberia.

Wish losing to them didn’t make me want to jump into a volcano until my face melts and my skeleton dissolves into nothingness… but it does. Glad I picked up a liter. Nothing can help me now but sweet, sweet alcohol poisoning. Do your worst.

I love our passing game, but watching a team run it down your throats repeatedly - knowing it's coming - is demoralizing.

All of those 5 star toys are great, but you have to be able to man-up and stop the other guys at some point. Didn't come close to a stop after halftime.

I want to thank everyone for self-moderating during The Game. I think that is one of our best game threads for a disappointing loss like this one. Many thanks.

Time to start building the fence back around Ohio. 5 stars do no good if you can’t beat Michigan. I got news for everyone. This is gonna turn Michigans recruiting efforts around really quick. This series may not be dominated by one team ever again.

You summed it up nicely. The Barnes and Coombs swap was a nice experiment, but there was nothing that showed it was a fix. This is Ohio State. You have to pay your coach 10 mill a year, and there’s no reason your assistants should be learning on the job. Send Barnes to the MAC to let him learn. Send Coombs to retirement unless you’re going to call him “recruiting manager”, but is that higher than Pantoni?

let’s just admit the correction threw window dressings on a turd. It’s like automatic blinds, covering up a turd.

Yep Barnes got abused instead of playing the same gameplan he did against michigan state we were regularly in the 4-2-5 alignment for some reason. Play 4-3 against these fuckers and make them beat you with the pass. They had 3-4 nice throws the whole game

 

[Bucklion]

And for those saying it, yes. We liked would have gotten boat-raced in the playoffs. But I’d rather take a baby seal clubbing against an SEC team than lost to those fucks any year. When they get their clubbing I’m gonna be thinking that’s our clubbing you motherfuckers

 

[Buckeye69Nice]

It is

We have 3 first round picks at WR (2 will gone next year). A heisman trophy caliber QB. Great RB. Despite the performance today we have some solid o-linemen. I get that we don't have players on defense but it's not a complete rebuilding year with those players on O

Tbh I can't wait for the playoff to expand in a few years then if something like this happens we would still have a chance of making the playoff and getting a rematch with them. The future looks much better for College Football.

Team doesn’t deserve to be in the playoffs. The D has been absolutely embarrassing the last 3 big games they’ve played.

scUM had exactly 1 - 1(!!!!!) 3rd down. And Ohio State was offsides on it.

 

[Herb Kirkstreit]

As poor as our defense was, if we would have taken care of business on offense out of the break, we still would have won. That 3-and-out to start the 2nd half was... not ideal.

 

[Onebuckfan]

Soak it in Buckeyes …you earned it. I would have made the staff and players stay on the fie

Puke away then. As the very first member of this board, this is the second loss to them since this site was started. Let scUM get big-headed...it'll just give us more to kick in next year.

college football could be banned forever..and we will have this to fondly remember are you insane.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

This would have happened in the CFP, which is why I have hoped they would not get in. I kept saying that TSUN was better than everyone thought. What I did not see, is that Ohio State really didn't make much progress after Oregon on defense.

I guess you missed the game last week...

Not enough progress on defense. Apparently
