Game Thread THE GAME, TSUN at tOSU, Sat Nov 27, Noon ET, ESPN/ABC

[3074326]

So why isn't MSU in front of Wisc? I don't see why everyone brings on OSU/Wisc head to head but ignores Wisc losing to MSU. So I'd have no issue with OSU jumping Wisc (or with MSU jumping over both).

I'm not a voter, I don't know.

But Wisconsin deserves to be ahead of us.

If Rich Rod does get fired, he will have won fewer Big 10 games in Michigan Stadium (3) than Jim Tressel (4)

GPA this shit.

JCOSU? You can't be serious. He's the worst person in the world.

Try jimotis4heisman.

Harbaugh scares me in that job; although the hate would be strong and pure and warming on a crisp November day. Personally, I think Harbaugh is the next 49ers coach, and I'm not sure who tsun would turn to next.

I would assume that before DickWad is fired, they would be smart enough to know if Harbauch is going to be the next scUM coach. If Harbaugh says no that he is going to the NFL to coach, then I think that they will hang onto DickWad for another year.

Great game Bucks! Great singing, stadium, of "We Don't Give a Damn". Great day, as is every day, to be a Buckeye.

And great that while enjoying this with my sons (ages 14 and 16), that they are wise enough to realize that they are living in a golden era of OSU football. Thank you Jim Tressel!

I was frustrated in the first half with the lack of desire to run inside. Turns out it doesn't really matter what plays you run against this M*ch*g*n team. That's pretty sad for them.

Seven in a row, Nine of the last ten. Can't say I ever could have imagined anything like this ten years ago.

The refs in this game were a joke. I didn't think it could be worse than last week. Some refs think people show up or tune in to see them I guess. It's a shame for Boom, since they took away a historic TD run. I'm sure Boom's just happy for the win though.

I also want to say how disappointed I am in M*ch*g*n. No matter what happened, you could always at least say that while the players hit hard and hated each others' guts, at least it was a clean game. I don't think we can say that any longer. There have been incidents the past (on both sides) but you could blame some of those on a random shithead here and there. I don't think I've seen it quite like this though. The aspect that's most striking to me: M*ch*g*n was pushing, shoving, woofing & hitting long after the whistle most of the game until they gave up trying to win. Usually it's the other way around - if a team's getting beat they give up and get cheap. Instead, they played cheap like it was a strategy and gave it up late like a team would give up trying to throw down field or hurrying to the line. Like I said, it's disappointing. For as much as I like having a layup against these guys at the end of every season, part of me hopes they fire RichRod so they can try to restore a little dignity to this rivalry. I'm always hesitant to say the prestige of the Ohio State-M*ch*g*n game is being damaged, but if anything is going to do it, it's stuff like this more than what happens on the scoreboard that'll do it.

So do the announcers.

At them reaching so far at Gee's comments and comparing BSU's football team to [censored]ing Butler. NOT EVEN REMOTELY THE SAME! Butler earned the right to get into the 64 team tournament by playing solid opponents. They earned the right to get as far as they did by beating people in that tournament. [censored]ing idiots. Just mute yourselves.

Yes, Butler got there that is correct and there is always an exception to any rule.....
By chance how many mid-majors have actually won the title in the last 40 years?

Zero!!

Kind of makes Gordon Gee's point doesn't it....

So why isn't MSU in front of Wisc? I don't see why everyone brings on OSU/Wisc head to head but ignores Wisc losing to MSU. So I'd have no issue with OSU jumping Wisc (or with MSU jumping over both).

Because MSU got prison raped by Iowa, the same team that lost to both Wisconsin and Ohio State.

Jim Tressel has more wins against Michigan than Rich Rod has wins against all Big Ten Teams combined.

 

[CHU]

Even though he was obviously kidding (perhaps not internally), Mark May saying that Ohio State should be left out of a BCS bowl because the Buckeyes have been there so many times does not come off as comedic.

But this is just based on past statements by the person in question. Although he's just playing the heel in ESPN's pro wrestling dynamic.

I lost my internet connection with half the fourth quarter to go. Only back now. Very sad end to The Game, but a great outcome!

...And great that while enjoying this with my sons (ages 14 and 16), that they are wise enough to realize that they are living in ***a*** golden era of OSU football. Thank you Jim Tressel!

Had to go back and make sure... well done.

 

[Steve19]

It's a shame for Boom, since they took away a historic TD run.

He tied the record, if that's some consolation.

I was screaming so loud my neighbors called to ask if everything was okay. :)

 

[sandgk]

we're still in awe, 9-1 ...

helluva record

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

That was a Bullshit hold, too, Steve.

But...
God Bless You Bill Martin, You Magnificent Son of a Bitch!
