Game Thread Toledo at tOSU, Sept. 10, Noon ET, BTN

[kinch]

Can that babel fish site translate Yertle language to Zurp and back to Yertle?

I took your statement and translated at Babelfish from English to Spanish to Chinese to Dutch to English. I ended up with this, the reformed English, supposedly:

• Αυτήν την τοποθεσία της μεταφράσετε ψάρια γλώσσα does Βαβέλ και στη επιστρέφει Yertle Yertle Zurp (English)

Sounds like Buckyle late at night. . .

Are the 3 players suspended last week back for this one?

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

Not sure, but I would think so.

 

[Gatorubet]

The initial announcement said that they would request immediate reinstatement from the NCAA. I assume that they would remain suspended until such time as they are notified by the NCAA they can play. I have no reason to think that would take a long time. I imagine that they have to show the NCAA proof of reimbursement to the charity from the three, and then the NCAA eligibility branch would tell them they are good to go. If you have not heard anything yet, then they are out until that announcement.

Yeah, I figured the one game was pending an investigation. Haven't heard anything but I live 200 miles from Columbus so maybe there is local news.

I like rewarding these guys they earned it..

All you pussies that are talking up Toledo as a "good" team, or a team that's not just another patsy are fucking out of your mind. Fuck them. We are Ohio State. We redshirt guys like Eric Page and don't offer schollies to guys like Owens, despite him being from G-Ville. I'm tired of hearing people say we need to look out for these chumps. We are The, not Michigan. Fuck 'em.

As I do agree with your premise... we do have the better players and the better program... Games like this are the ones that we tend to struggle with. Whether or not you want to believe it, we struggled with teams like Marshall, San Diego St, Navy, Ohio(before the away game at USC), and have lost to teams like Purdue and Northwestern. If we go out and play like Toledo is going to fold their tents early, then Toledo can make this a game. If we go out believing that if we take our foot off of the pedal we can be beat, then we walk in this one. It has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with mindset and with the timing of the game. I guarantee you Auburn(even though they are down) didn't expect to be down by 10 with 3 min to go to Utah State. And I for one don't want to test our ability to come back from being down in the fourth quarter with the lack of experience we have at QB. Don't look forward to Cryami, just take it game by game. I think the team is doing that... JB Shugarts put that on his FB... but gotta keep that tough as nails mindset and the us against the world attitude.

The status of the 3 ineligible's have yet to be determined (I would expect a decision by Thursday).

As for Toledo, it's TOLEDO. I have a better chance of contracting an STD stepping foot in that city than they do winning in the 'Shoe.

OSU 38-7

GPA.

I don't understand the shit either. Toledo hasn't won a MAC Championship since 2004, but all of a sudden they're a "challenge" for Ohio State? I don't get it. A fuckin' team who hasn't won a MAC title since my 5 year old daughter was born is a "test" for a lot of teams, not Ohio State.

In 2009, they came into the game with a top 10 offense nationally only to be shut out. They finished 13th in total offense that season. Why should things be any different? One good reason, please?

Marshall in 04, SDSU, Ohio in 08, Navy last year, Purdue. I am pretty sure you would have bet your check that those games wouldn't have been close also.

There is a game that for some reason people are pumping up as a big challenge the week after. If tOSU comes out flat, than this is a game. If they come out hyped and ready to kill someone then they roll... It's that simple. We have a young team and mindset matters.

Emphasis on "GOOD" reason.

I don't think the mindset of this year's team will be a problem at all, during any point of the season.

If you are right then Toledo is no issue. And we all hope you are right.

I actually think our toughest early season test will be Colorado. Yes, that Colorado who just lost to Hawaii. (Stop laughing)

I think Rodney Stewart & Douglas Rippy, their 2 most talented players who are from Columbus, are going to play some good games in front of their friends and family who don't get to see them that often & the rest of the team will feed off that.

Fuck a Toledo.
