What Will Be the Buckeyes' Record in 2011?

[DubCoffman62]

I can't believe I predicted 10-2....i hoping for just a bowl game right now....i really really hope people like Mike Adams and Posy contribute as big as we need them to

Gotta get the sure wins against Purdue and Indiana and then steal one, hopefully against scum.

... steal one ... against scum.

That would be grand larceny at this point. Move to "Police Blotter" thread if it happens.

On second thought the Penn State game at the shoe may be the best bet.

That isn't a steal. State Penn is atrocious this year... even by their standards.

Their D is pretty good but the offense is pretty bad.

Office Space

The Ohio State football team has reached its bye week with a 4-3 record. For only the fourth time in 11 years, the Buckeyes will end up with at least three losses - and there are still five games left to play. This season, which has has been defined by anxiousness and uncertainty has now added on-the-field performance to its list of troubling issues. The stalwart, stingy defense that has carried the team for most of the past decade has been unable to completely obscure the offense's deficiencies and the result is a 4-3 record that nobody finds acceptable.

Luke Fickell is a little more than halfway through his head coaching tryout and the mood around the Woody Hayes Athletic Complex is one of nervousness: On Saturday morning before the game at Illinois, university administration quietly announced that traditional midseason performance reviews have been postphoned in order to carry out a new project being driven by "an anonymous but significant community powerbroker, Board of Trustee member and renown industry titan who conquered the international panty market."

While temporary job security has been the staff-wide assumption ever since Jim Tressel resigned in May, the BoT has accelerated its evaluation of the football operations, bringing in two world-renown efficiency consultants - Bob Slydell (left, above) and Bob Porter - to conduct meticulous interviews of specific coaches to assess how the operation is being run in 2011.

Eleven Warriors has acquired a portion of the transcript from the interviews that were conducted at the WHAC this past Sunday, October 16 following the team's triumphant return from Champaign.

(shuffling papers) Bob, who do we have first?

(looking at agenda) Hmm...it says we're meeting with a "Coach Tressel." (pauses) Wow - I absolutely love that guy, but I was under the impression that he no longer worked here.
[Dick Tressel enters]

Hello, gentlemen.

Hello, Coach Tressel.

You're Coach Tressel. Is that your real name?

Yeah.

Are you any relation to the football coach who wears the sweater vest?

(hesitant; reluctant) ...Yes, the name more than just a coincidence....

...and it goes on (and gets better)
