Game Thread tOSU at Illinois, Nov 16, 12 ET, ESPN

The sooner everyone accepts that Ohio State is not going to move past FSU or Bama unless one of them loses, the better. Whether the Bucks win 77-0 or 56-21 won't matter, so try to enjoy the victory.

 

[BUCKYLE]

Not my intended meaning. I mean the kind of sloppy play that has allowed the Illini to score twice. Let's remember, they got 3 points on the board against the Spartans.

Spart has a legit top 3 D. One Illinois score was a fluke punt return anf the other was a fluke pass play.

Bosa was getting raped there....

We are kicking the crap out of illinois, and people are complaining about holds. We aren't fucking Penn State.

And BN27, what if they do lose? Alabama is going to lose.

Good things can only happen if Ohio State puts itself in a place to advance. Today, they aren't doing that.

If they lose, we move up. This game isn't going to prevent an undefeated Ohio State from being 1 or 2 if Alabama/FSU lose. I don't care if we win in 16 overtimes because Illinois runs out of healthy players.

Then I understood your meaning. I'm saying there's nothing we can do or not do outside of win or lose in these games that will effect whether or not we move or don't. There's no no reason if we win out that Baylor or Stanford would pass us, regardless of MoV.

Nor should they.

I'm not one to do it, but that was so blatant it was offensive.

 

[Drubuck]

Good half. Got sloppy towards the end but believe that will be addressed.

 

[ant80]

31-3 career coaching record in November... That should tell you something!

As one would expect, Coach Meyer is not mincing words.

The complaints are not about those two, but about the prospect of Stanford and Baylor possibly jumping us.

To be a fly on the wall.

Why not? Boo this man!
