Week 8 Games Discussion

how'd they lose to bammer?

Alabama is their Kryptonite the question is how'd they win their matchup in the Natty, because so far that's the only win Kirby has over them if I'm not mistaken.

They also have flat out better players on the D line than we do.

But but we have 4&5 stars on a $20 mil payroll don’t ya know

 

[Mike80]

at least they wait until y'all lose.
LSU fans don't like "how" we win and want to fire people.

That's happened here before too, not as bad as other sites (e.g. Bucknuts), but you'll see it every now and again.

I do find it interesting that it's finally getting called out nationally but that's another topic entirely.

Because they're coached well. How people see Sawyer and JT come in as top-10 overall recruits in the same class and think it's a talent issue and not an LJ Sr issue is beyond me

Also I still wonder how the hell did TTUN win the USC and Minnesota games, their offense is inexistent lol.

USC isn't good.

Minnesota isn't good.

Haven’t seen this? On?

I do remember a ways back when our TE dropped a TD in the end zone that would have won a game and got a whole bunch of hate.

Sure but bro, there have to be better offenses in high school teams than TTUN's. Even their defense has like 2 or 3 players the rest just completely sucks. They literally have no QB capable of hitting the broadside of a barn.

Basically, TCUN's players still believed in the hubris when they played USC and Minny.

Washington killed that belief and Illinois buried it. TCUN might not win another game.

Yeah have never bought the we don’t have the talent excuse. It’s not like the guys we recruited weren’t widely recruited and highly rated.

games are always won/lost in the trenches. No matter how sexy your skill players are.

Strong in the trenches beats skill every time

Not gonna lie, that would be amazing. Jerk off material for decades.

Balls just waved the white flag, punted down 10 with 5 minutes left.

 

[BigWoof31]

Plenty of football to be played. But pretty good start.


#11 made himself some NFL money tonight

I mean we've had idiots try to email Ted Ginn to not declare for the NFL draft and things like that here before....not to mention Giovanni Strassini and the legend of him playing in the Rose Bowl....guys who were convinced that socks were the key to a receiver's success to wondering if only scoring FGs could beat only scoring touchdowns....

But by and large until about 4-ish years ago, BP was mostly a sanctuary from the stupid directed solely at the players and coaches Criticism yes, but the sustained "Win or fire everyone" bullshit never really took root. You'll still get some of it in-game which is at least, understandable, but the sustained craziness mostly hasn't been here. Every fanbase changes and Ohio State's has changed the most since the Tressel era til now - it's gotten far larger, and the expectations are sky high pretty much year-round.

The reality is people aren't going to be fired if they win 88% of their games. Or if a position group isn't quite up to fan expectations unless it's hilariously bad like the special teams were last season, for instance. Or even going back to the Tressel era when DAVE was a staple and they struggled to block it well - no one was getting fired as long as the wins continued.
