I was a 16 year old kid when they won The Game for Earl in 1987. By the time Tress gave his speech and backed it up in '01 I was a 30 year old guy with a kid of my own.

What happened to my ¤cash?
What year are any of us willing to give for that to happen. They should all be in hospice care before anyone even considers the possibility… and by “they,” I mean their great x10 grand children.
Fuck them all. Fuck them all until there’s nobody in that fucking shit hole state that remembers what it feels like to have a fucking win in their God damn life times. Fuck them all and all their generations that should ever fucking follow. Fuck them and all of their God damn DNA.

He DID say that there is something wrong in Hairball's brain that makes him incapable of beating OSU.

Kill the blow. Let the devil sort them out.

First time he has been correct in some time.
Why in hell would an SESLEAZE honk be asked about The Game? To twist it into ghe half-baked pretzel that when we win, it doesn’t mean much. What Joel knows about The B1G, I could put in my eye. In my eye!

When you say Joel, are you referring to Klatt? He;s usually pretty on the spot with his analysis. We were talking about Finebaum.

You know... further digging on stats and I didn't realize ttun is not great in red zone defense ranking 63rd. So they're good at preventing yards but when teams do drive they give up 7 (since they're top 10 statistically).
I know our offense is going to move the ball so the worry was will we score 7. Appears that's a very real issue for them.
On the flip side ttun is also similar to us in our abilities to score in the red zone and our defense is similar to ttuns defense being ranked 67th.
Only difference is ttun isn't getting to the red zone as often as us because their offense isn't nearly as dangerous.
Overall we should be put in position to take advantage of their defense more than they'll do the same to ours.

Also should add other interesting facts...
Ttun is 73rd in TFLs where as we are tied at 33rd. We also rank higher in sacks as well.
I tend to think the TFL numbers are tied to the passing defense numbers. Ttun it appears is not bringing a lot of pressure and that's probably not a surprise given the two DEs they have.
If they aren't great at getting negative plays, aren't elite vs the run, are undersized, and have struggles in the red zone? Yeah something tells me this is a 300 yard rushing game.
Which how ironic would that be considering all we've heard all week is how they're a running based offense and we only throw the ball. News flash we are #1 in ypc and ttun is way behind.
They're going to be forced eventually to bring other hats to the LOS and when they do? Over the top.
Beautiful thing about our offense is we will do what they'll give us. If they want to have a light box? That's fine we will bully our way through them.

Re-watch The Game 2007 and we get Herbie trying to explain PI and face guarding in college football.
Drink!
EDIT 1.0: Jim Tressel just punted from the tsun 35 yard line
EDIT 2.0: Mike Boren's son is playing left guard for tsun. I don't know why that jumped out at me. Must be nostalgia for The Game back in the early 80's.
EDIT 3.0: Herbie is creaming himself about the intensity and eyes of Mike Hart. "Look at his eyes"...
