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

That said, if AA were around I'd at least get to sass him about Downs going to Georgia. As it is, he's another piece that makes Georgia the likely CFP favorite for 2024. Boo.

I'm pleased.

Now, if he had to hope for Jack Tuttle to get a 7th year to have any semblance of an offense, then I'd be concerned. We saw what he did with NE's hapless roster. But, if he has talent everywhere like, say, at UAT, then I'm fine.

Man, how much would it suck dick for you and My Sharona if, by some miracle, BOB bombs M in 10 months? This will be quite the exchange to revisit.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Pleased as well.

Also saw this yesterday.

In those 56 seasons, Ohio State has legitimately had 6 "bad" seasons. 1971, 1987-88, 1999, 2001 and 2011. I hesitate to put in 2001 because that was the start of something special and we knew it then and Coach Tressel delivered on his promised to beat M. And they were actually challenging for the B10 until Bellisari's DUI immediately prior to Illinois. But, 7-5 is 7-5. That said, I did nt include 2004, so, eh.

Of those 6, 1 was the great Fickell debacle, 2 were at the Bruce-Cooper transition and 1 was, as noted, Tressel's first year.

That's why CRD's 33-6 over the last 3 years has him in trouble. They've lost 3 games once in the last 19 years (exclusing the Year of Fickell). 2 losses, with one of them being to M, is, therefore, a disaster season relative the standards set by Coach Tressel and Coach Meyer.

As an aside, I struggle with how to deal with bowl games these days. With Tressel and Meyer, they actually meant something. Nowadays, meh. I mean, even the Utah Rose Bowl was played w/o multiple first round picks. The Cotton Bowl this year was ludicrously stupid. So, eh.

I miss Fickell.

[iam416]

Good news! You can drive to Madison and see him!

[THE_WIZARD_]

...or you could STFU...or preferably die...

[Mike]

But can Bob DANCE?

[THE_WIZARD_]

What about Bob?

[iam416]

JFC

[Mike]

He doesn't look like much of a dancer. Not sure how he'll fit in.

This thread has turned ghey.

Caleb Downs. Wow.
