Man, Fickell needs to take on a more stoic appearance. He looked deflated and lost at the end of the game. He was put into a tough situation, but he shouldn't look like a kid who lost his puppy after a loss.

Will be in Champaign for the game next week and I don't know what to expect now. Lots of encouraging signs from the first 2/3 of the game but I could see us coming out completely flat and being demolishedComment

I'm betting on it...just go get a tattoo & Strawberry-Root Beer Sarsaparilla!?I don?t take vacations. I don?t get sick. I don?t observe major holidays. I?m a jackhammer.?Comment

DSL, I agree I can't figure this next Ohio game out either.
I was stunned to see Ohio run this well (with Miller in at least) the Huskerz. I don't know if the Huskerz made adjustments or it was all Miller's injury that reversed that in the second half.
My gut right now says Ohio beats the Illini and gives Wisky a tough fight before losing (assuming Miller is back). I thought you guys were headed for a 6-loss season, but now I don't think so.
Yikes with Bowser-man ... he's got to be the worst QB to ever start for the Bucks.Comment

They (Illinois) are undefeated much like M, but like M they've only beaten one decent team; Arizona State. Illini start a 5-game stretch of OSU, Purdue, PSU, M & Wisconsin...
They get a very convenient bye the week before M.Comment

"Lots of encouraging signs from the first 2/3 of the game"
That's why they play a full four quarters! (unless it's Western Michigan)Comment

Well yeah, 4 quarter game...I just think we maybe could have held off the rally with Braxton in there. Not with Bauserman thoughComment

Way bigger than that, IMO.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View Post
Talent smirked, dismissing my suggestion of osu to the wilderness. But there is a good chance of that. Political maneuvering, player strife inside the program are going to cause major problems going toward for the bucks. Ask me how I know this.
The article up thread was excellent and consistent with my view of the mess that is osu football in the hands of gee and smith. Behavior of individuals at levels of power and influence that these two have risen to can produce outcomes at the extremes. That's a high risk circumstance for the bucks that I would not want to be a part of or witness to where strong emotional ties are involved.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

Wtf does political maneuvering and player strife have to do with why we lost last night? We were playing quite well until our starting QB went down.Originally posted by Jeff Buchanan View Post
You say the loss is "much bigger than that" and then offer no substance whatsoever to validate that view.
Speaking of political, closed-door nastiness, I hear there's a great tell-all book about the Michigan football program about to come out.Comment

You should expect to hear something from Gordon Lightfoot- since the "Flagship" appears to be destined to the same November fate as the Edmund Fitzgerald- broken, sunk and lying silently at the bottom of the Great Lakes.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View Post
But maybe Talent's legal genius could avoid a lawsuit. Perhaps you could offer Gordo a few signed jerseys and a chance to join the Salvation Army band when they come to the Big House in November. Plus, he might actually make "Hang On Sloopy" semi-listenable.Comment

DSL, Let's look at that......
The performance of components of an organization perform well when there is stability in the parent organization. Tell me that osu's football program is stable and in a good place?
What is the general confidence level in smith's and gee's ability to make good decisions regarding the osu football program going forward?
While players don't generally know or care much about this stuff, the coaches who coach them are greatly affected by it and so is the degree of effectiveness in which they do their jobs. M's performance during the Rodriguez era is a good example of this.
The article I referenced above is pretty specific about conflict and finger pointing. Take a look for yourself if you haven' t already. Both yourself and talent have missed by wide margins the implcatio s of the tat5 and the enormous damage done to osu's football program by what has been described as trifling by both of you.
It's giving me a lot of pleasure to watch osu fans in general and our regular osu posters here be incredibly wrong about all of this.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished.

This must be a nice change of pace for you considering how frequently you've been wrong over the past 10 years.Originally posted by Jeff Buchanan View PostComment

Keep living in the past.Comment

Heh. When I bring up LAST SEASON it's "living in the past". When someone on this board cites Bo or Fielding Yost it's because you "appreciate your tradition".
You should be rooting for Fickell to do well. Every loss bring us closer to the Urban Legend. Maybe Hoke will start negative recruiting against his health though.Comment

we'll see.... JoePa may very well retire and the PSU officials are coveting Urban, and he may prefer a sanction-free program and a AD who is not the douche that Smith is.Comment
