That wrestler looks like Pampero Firpo.
Yes, that was a real name of a wrestler back in the day.

In the year since losing to the undefeated Michigan team in Ann Arbor, Ohio State vowed to do everything in their power to return the rivalry back in their favor. This offseason they...
Returned five prominent starters from last years team in TreVeyon Henderson, Emeka Egbuka, JTT, Jack Sawyer, and Denzel Burke
Acquired Will Howard, one of the most productive QBs in the country away from K State
Got Caleb Downs, an All-american level safety from Alabama
Got a 1500 yard SEC rusher in Quinshon Judkins to pair with their other All-american level RB
Got a P5 head coach who nearly won a national championship to resign from his role and take the OC job
Signed the #1 overall recruit in the country who is currently in the midst of a historically great true freshman season
Spent $20 mil, more than any other team in the country, to upgrade their roster and sure up their NIL
They were favored by 19.5 points at home
No Jim Harbaugh. No Jesse Minter. No Connor Stallions. No JJ McCarthy. No Blake Corum. No Mike Sainristil. No Colston Loveland. No Will Johnson.
Michigan threw for 62 yards and turned the ball over twice
They didn't have a single receiver catch more than one pass
AND OHIO STATE STILL couldn't win. All time embarrassing program loss. That's the worst Michigan team in over a decade and this is arguably the most talented Buckeye team in nearly a decade. It will have been over 2,000 days since Ohio State last beat Michigan when they face off in 2025...Last edited by Mike; December 2, 2024, 07:53 AM.Comment

"this is arguably the most talented Buckeye team in nearly a decade"
"Arguably" is doing a lot of work here. I myself wouldn't come close to making that argument.Comment

CFB fans often discount the impact of a program's culture and ability to develop players putting the importance of talent at the top of the list of keys to winning. I'm not going to discount talent or to fail to recognize it's impact on the game.
In rivalry games like this a program's culture, which is a reflection of the coaching staff's emphasis on it, plays a big part in wins like the one M just got over OSU. A focus on team building by coaches and senior player leadership that forms bonds as a team and instills a will to win is hugely important and undervalued. It appears to me that Ryan Day just isn't a facilitator of these sorts of very important things.
Day faces a monumentally steep climb to get his team focused on winning each round of games in the CFP and win them. I think it is now 4 with the bucknutz falling to the at large pool with the loss to M. My take is that if OSU gets bounced on the way to a season saving Natty that validates their HC, Ryan Day will get fired.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment

Going off of the 247 talent composite, the 2024 OSU team is their high water mark in overall score over the past decade. Of course, QB play isn't what it had been. Probably shouldn't have ran off Honda McCord.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View PostComment

Yeah maybe if going solely by recruiting rankings but I don't see how anyone watches us and thinks this is the best OSU team since 2014. I mean I don't think I even need to consider pre-covid teams, the 2021-22 teams were both better. Certainly Stroud & Marvin Harrison were a bigger threat than Howard-Smith. The RBs as a unit were better too.
Everyone praising McCord after Saturday should go back and watch his 5 INT day getting blown out by Pitt.Comment

It didn't say "best" OSU team, just "most talented". Either way, they went all-in on roster construction for this season and it has not worked out all that great.Comment

I read an article where it is said that when they returned to the locker room, Martindale asked Moore, "Did they really just do that?" Referring to how ohio state attacked Michigan's defense. Instead of using Howard to get the ball outside and take advantage of Michigan's weakness on the corners and at safety, they ran the ball repeatedly inside, right at the strength of Michigan's defense. Even after the game they were dumbfounded as to wny osu insisted on running between TnT. Maybe it was because Day wanted to prove that osu was "tough", and especially tougher than Michigan? If so, that cost him the game.
The real score of the game should have easily been something like 48 - 6, or something close to that. Michigan should have never been in the game.
According to Joel Klatt, when he and the Fox Sports team met with Moore on Wednesday of game week, Moore told them, "If we're within a TD late in the 4th, we're going to win". Maybe Ryan Day walked right into what Moore wanted him to do.

He absolutely did. But I also don't think throwing all over Michigan was as easy as we may have thought it would be going into Saturday.
A. It was windy. Sorry: WINDY
B. Michigan got 20 pressures on 30 pass plays. Sorry again for misspeaking. The Wolverines got 20 pressures.
C. Will Howard is mid. He is worse than Kyle McCord and it's probably not really close. Also, the hit from Makari Paige seemed to take the starch out of him.
Add it all up and Jack Sawyer is a whiny 0-4 bitch.Comment
