Early - Ohio State -9 on the light side if you ask me

[Hannibal]

I'll lay the points.

[iam416]

The line has opened at 6'. It's now floating in the 7 to 7' range. I expect that it will probably settle right on 7 and the hook.

[iam416]

Stanford opened +10 against USC and has shot down to 7/6'. Clemson opened at 8 against Auburn and is now down to 6. And for the fuck of it, Michigan opened at 27' and is now 33.

All these line movements are basically over the course of today.

[AlabamAlum]

Ohio State will kill OU.

[Hannibal]

We'll cover the 33.

Ohio State had everything go their way last year in Norman. In reality, it was probably closer to a 1 and half score game. If they had played at the end of the season, probably a score game (when did we ever hear from Noah Brown after that game?). It was one of those games for OSU -- sort of like it was for IU in the first half on Saturday.

The one thing that wouldn't have changed if played later in the season is OSU's defense vs. OU's offense and, in general, the LoS battle on both sides. And last year OU had Perrine and Mixon to compliment Mayfield and still struggled.

I'm not letting last year bleed into this year's prediction. I think it's much closer and I do think it will be several scores less than last year.

I'm in DC. Does your SuperSoaker have that kind of range?

His "Super Soaker" produced 7 or 8 daughters, I believe.

That 214 yard performance in 2015 makes more sense now:

"Despite the fact that Elliott is admitting that he liked to do drugs in college, the running back never failed a drug test during his three-year career at Ohio State (2013-15)."

I'm calling on the NCAA to do a massive investigation of osu's drug testing program! Clearly, ufm is guilty of loss of institutional control or some such transgression.

It's OSU -- they are the grayest of gray-area players in the conference, and that's when they are at their cleanest. Cheating is part of the process there. I do hope that one day the athletic program(s) gets what's coming to it/them, but I'd prefer Harbaugh to beat Meyer a few times before that happens.

Those aren't bucknuts on their helmet...

College kids taking drugs? Holy fucking hell.

This rates slightly better than Aaron Hernandez. I'd stick with claiming M "outplayed" OSU last season despite being outgained and outscored and generally assrammed when it mattered. Or perhaps UFM fucking chicks at Florida.

Anywho, LIFE IN THE SHADOW is still pretty bleak.
