M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

[AlabamAlum]

I could coach Ohio State or Bama to 7 wins.

[WM Wolverine]

My puppy could to 8.

[AlabamAlum]

Exactly.

[edindetroit]

My puppy could to 8.

Poodle bites... Poodle chews it...

[Mike]

Incidentally, Brady Hoke would go 6-6.

[Cody_Russell]

Ohio State has at Oklahoma, at Wisconsin, at PSU, at MSU, vs Michigan.
I doubt they would lose any other game unless Nebraska makes a big comeback in 2016.

9-3 or 10-2 seems reasonable. at Oklahoma, Baker Mayfield will be a Heisman candidate. Kind of like when Ohio State played at USC in like 2008... I would pick Oklahoma.

UFM is 50-4 at OSU, and my question is how on earth he lost 4.

[The Oracle]

Coaching

[AlabamAlum]

Bama is 50-6 in the same timeframe.

Of course, one of Bama's six is the 42-35 loss to Ohio State.

Fuck Blake Sims and his 3 INTs and one of those a pick six. Fuck that 90 yard TD run by Zeke Elliott. Fuck Devin Smith. He was open twice. Both catches went for 40+ Yards and one for a TD. Fuck everyone.

[iam416]

To be fair, the last Sims INT was on a hail mary. The one Vonn Bell picked after OSU punted 25 yards from their own 5 was the really bad one.

But, hey, at least your shitball game last season didn't cost you the CFP. Fuck that Arky bullshit.

[AlabamAlum]

The six losses were Ohio State, Auburn, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss x2.

Of those, we had no business losing 4 of them: the Auburn loss was the FG return, a miracle play by JFF and then McCarron drives the field and promptly throws an INT in the end zone, and both Ole Miss games were miracles on their part and complete cluster fucks on ours. We had no business losing any of those games.

So, 54-2 would be reasonable. That leaves Ohio State and Oklahoma.

I think Ohio State was the better team. We had our chance, but you can't blow coverages and miss assignments like that.

Everyone remembers Oklahoma killing us. We actually moved the ball on them without trouble. Over 500 yards of offense, but you can't have 5 turnovers including a fumble return for a TD as time expired and win a game.

[AlabamAlum]

To be fair, the last Sims INT was on a hail mary. The one Vonn Bell picked after OSU punted 25 yards from their own 5 was the really bad one.

But, hey, at least your shitball game last season didn't cost you the CFP. Fuck that Arky bullshit.

The Arkie game was glorious.

Forget Vonn. That's not the one that gave me an ulcer. It was late in the 3rd quarter, we were only down 6, and a fucking DE drops into pass coverage, Blake presses, the DE gets the pick and takes it 50 yards to the house. Just a kick to the nads.

[iam416]

Ole Miss and aTm didn't cost. Auburn cost.

OSU cost, but that wasn't some bullshit. Could have gone either way, but a loss wasn't ridiculous.

In any event, yeah, The Nick has been good. GFY.

[AlabamAlum]

Oh, I'm not talking about end results. Yeah, the stars aligned and we won a championship this year after the TAMU and Ole Miss losses, but those losses still hurt.

[iam416]

Steve Miller dropping under the slant to Cooper was glorious. Evan Spencers wiping out two ILBs on Elliot's TD run was better. My play no one appreciates but me happened on OSU's first drive. Right before Elliot broke his first long run to set up a disastrous red zone series and a FG, Jalin Marshall ran a sweep and Elliot led out and obliterated DePriest. Dude could do everything. Replacing him=impossible.
