Ha!

Once they find out he's a tenured professor at osu, he'll walk.

The monkey or the Ohioan?

[Prime2]

You mean Talent or his sideshow circus act?

I wish I could ignore Cooper's record. I'm far more inclined to ignore M's pre-Great War record against OSU/non-conference record against OSU.

Coop's record, sadly, falls in the modern era. Miraculously, however, OSU has a winning record against M since Coop's hire. Never thought I'd see it.

"The" Oracle:

FYI, in case you didn't mark your calendar, two more big-time commits coming OSU's way next week! Monday and Wednesday...as they say in the hinterlands...Buckle Up!

'69 to present... Close to a coin-flip?

[The Oracle]

That should bout tie them up then the rest of the way right?

[iam416]

Woody-Bo: 4-5-1
Earle-Bo: 5-4-
Cooper: 2-10-1
Tressel: 9-1
Fickell: 0-1
UFM: 4-0

15-12-2

So, Bo v Woody/Earle was 10-10-1. Coop/Tress was 11-11-1. Then Fickell...bah...then UFM...yay!

[iam416]

I believe Woody was 12-6 prior to Bo's arrival. So, if I were to date it from the arrival of an Ohio State legend in 1951, it'd be 27-18-1.

For my money, the most pro-OSU way of looking at the series that is also clearly principled and coherent is conference games. IMO, that represents the moment when the two programs were on par and accounts for M's significant "head start." The only odd thing about it is that it has to wait until 1918 even though OSU joined in 1912. M had that brief period where the left the conference and then returned. To that end, I'd probably include 1912 even though M wasn't a conference member -- OSU was and thus, by my reasoning, competing at the same level.

[iam416]

That'll give them 18. I think 2-3 more spots. I mean, when DPJ comes to his senses they'll definitely create room!!!! :-)

May a crazy holy man set fire to your nose hair.

[Mike]

Talent, I think your calculator is broken.

[iam416]

Heh. 24-21-2....and 36-27-2.

[AlabamAlum]

Basic math is tough for him.

Happy Thanksgiving, Asswipes! I l have met a few of you and would thoroughly enjoy meeting most and probably all of you. It's been fantastic talking football with Buchanan, hoops with hack, recruiting with WM, other stuff with Geezer, just about anythibg with Oracle and, in general, sharing good and suck experiences contemporaneously with you asstards. It's even been fun reading OP"s constant nonsense. Godspeed, gents. WAR URBAN!

Found this gem when I was looking for another post. This pretty much means I'm Talent's favorite poster and I own his ass. Even though he was probably shit canned judging by the misspells.

Anyway, I couldn't find it...what are you expecting to end up with, number wise, at 247 for OSU?
