  • Despite my utter contempt of anything and everything about or in ohio, osu is a good football team. Not great but very good. It is unquestionably well coached. I thought the win over Wisconsin in OT was pretty impressive.

    Bilema used to make incredibly stupid coaching calls. He's limited those. He went toe to toe with ufm for four quarters with a limited QB and nearly won - should have won in his own back yard in OT save his ...... limited QB.

    Some of things things I saw: Hankins is good. The match-up with him (and the other less talented players on the DL) with M's interior line is a disaster waiting to happen. Isos aren't going there. Al, don't even try in a vain attempt to keep osu honest, pound the ball to make a point or any of that stupid shit. Wasted play and you will have to make EVERY PLAY count.

    Shazier is good too. He's also dirty and as Lines has suggested, coached to play that way. He will hurt Denard and I can tell you urban will wink at fickle when he has a team meeting mouthing meaninglessly, "respect your opponent and play with integrity." osu, collectively, does not know the meaning of the term. They know what winning means and, as they have clearly demonstrated, will do whatever it takes to win.

    I thought Wisconsin did a very good job of limiting big plays from miller. They did that because it appeared to me that osu's OL got handled and Wiskys' front seven played with a lot of discipline maintaining gap integrity leaving miller no where to bust into when he tried to extend plays. I would assume, although you can't see it on TV, Wisky's back end played really well. I don't think M can match that unless M's DL can match what Wisky did and M's back end suddenly gets good ..... lots of tape lessons for Mattison and his boys in the Wisconsin defensive effort. Actually, I think the game will hinge on that. How well can M limit miller.

    No question ufm and fickle are already at work today game planning for M's offense. The thing that impressed me most about M's offensive effort on Saturday was the execution. The throw back screen to Smith was a great call and for the first time this season, the OL and WRs got the blocking down. Yes, it was Iowa and yes, Denard was the threat but still .......

    Pretty sure M's O will catch ufm and fickle off guard a couple of times. I like what I'm seeing from DG, he can read a defense well and advantage the O ..... sometimes. But he does it a lot more often than Denard did and also doesn't make bad decisions as often as Deanrd. I don't know if anyone noticed, but Denard has a right hand/arm that is about useless. I saw it dangling (although he tried to hide it) by his side many times. Once again, osu coaches saw that (or will see it on film) and will send defenders, helmet first to the right arm and elbow, with the intent to take Deanrd out of the game. Watch for this and feel free to denigrate those dirty bastards in post game comments (feel free to point out in the Iowa post game comments that Ferentz looked like he was coaching his players to do it too, did it to Fitz - dirty football is what it is. Iowa knows how to play that way, so does osu).

    osu's special teams don't make mistakes. The whole team doesn't make mistakes. That is an indicator of an exceptionally well coached team. Side line: if you watched WVU and OU last night you saw the perfect example of why Dana Holgerson is a great OC but a shitty HC (sound familiar?). His team lacks discipline and makes way too many mistakes. WVU plays flashy football but, in the end, they're not going to amount to much unless the coaching staff figures out a way to get the players to limit stupid mistakes and blown coverage on defense. Back to the point: osu's special teams will make something happen and it will probably be on a punt or a kick-off. I don't like the match-up there.

    This game could go wither way ..... a rope-a-dope low scoring affair or a shoot out. I think Borges is going to open the game on M's first offensive possession that way taking the battle to ufm. Depending on how well it goes, he'll keep it up. That will evaporate in the later stanzas with the score close and as the two coaching staffs try to limit mistakes, shorten the game and win it late by a big defensive stand or late offensive heroics.

    osu has an undefeated regular season at stake. Big motivator and hats off to ufm for using that device effectively. But what is that sort of thing about? It's about external goals. It takes heart to win this game in an unfriendly stadium. osu didn't have it last season and I'm not 100% sure they have it this season either, even in their own house. They have external goals. Those tend to evaporate when the going gets tough and one's will is tested. I like Brady Hoke here in this department. If M pulls this one out and beats osu in the shoe, it will be because of ghosts of Schembechler and .... the team, the team, the team.

    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.

    • With the current BCS circus, this morning ohio should be sitting at no worse than BCS #2, with an upcoming home game vs a rebuilding Michigan team. This ohio team would be getting ready to play in the B1G CCG, no matter what happens against Michigan. Win both games, and nobody could deny ohio's claim to a berth in the CCG. Who else is there? You'd have ND and ohio as the only two undefeated teams in the country.

      Instead, the kids from THIS ohio team will be sitting at home, being punished for the greed of a handful of former players, and the dishonesty of the former coach who tried to cover it up.

      Which is why I would think that the alumni and fans of ohio would be seething at the school's administration, for allowing the football program to fall into these circumstances. Their lack of supervision over their revered coach and their lust for winning caused what may be a very worthy team to be punished for the sins of a few.

      So, as you spew your bile toward Michigan this week, consider those things. What might have been .. and what should have been... and the fact that Michigan had absolutely nothing to do with it.

          • OP:

            Kudos on your UFM take and about how he would dominate the B10 and such. Granted, you were wrong about him never coaching again and such. But it's gotsa to be a nightmare for you -- a nightmare you saw coming, a nightmare that you knew would be crushing, a nightmare you can't escape. Man, sucks for you.

            God bless Agua Gold, though!

              Signing off, fucktard ......

              The heat of The Game will have cooled substantially by the time I get back, regardless of the outcome. But one thing is certain. osu and its fans will be thinking about New Years Day. Sitting in their dreary ohio basements, surrounded by worn out osu memorabilia, wishing jim tressel hadn't been such a dirt bag.

              Enjoy the Holidays, sir ....... I'm already thinking about heading to Tampa or Orlando when I get back to watch a game. A MICHIGAN football game.

              Where will you be? Oh, that's right, in your dreary basement, watching other teams and their fans enjoying bowl games on TV, surrounded by your osu memorabilia. heh, heh, heh.

                • LOL, Buchanan. I'm not losing any sleep over not playing in the Erectic Dysfunction Bowl or whatever other meaningless bowl M ends up in. M has been a zero on the CFB landscape since, well, Labor Day. Fortunately, you've had lots of seasons of experience to get used to it.

                  I'm more focused on seeing OSU finish 12-0. I can understand why you'd want to turn your attention to an assraping in Orlando by some SEC team -- it's a better outcome than what is in store for No-Titles.

                  And the best thing about finishing 12-0 this year -- Coach Tressel and the 2002 National Title team will be there to see it. And, of course, it's been something like 9+ years since Coach Tressel saw OSU lose to M in person. Can't wait.

                    • Wiz:

                      You're right -- it actually IS basketball season. I understand why that is of no significance to you and UNL fans. But to the FLAGSHIP, dominating BOTH money sports is a big deal. So, yes, I'm excited about hoops season. Plan on watching my Top 5 Buckeyes today. And, of course, the football team is Top 5, too.

                      FLAGSHIP.

                      But you knew that. You may have learned it the hard way with a 63 point concrete dildo up your ass, but you learned it.

                      • Maybe the players from this team can go over and shake Tressel's hand, and thank him for the probation that THEY are now on, ... due to his dishonesty. They can thank him for the B1G CCG berth that they will NOT be able to accept, due to his dishonesty. They can thank him for the BOWL appearance (at least an at large BCS berth, and maybe a MNC berth) that they will NOT appear in, ... due to his dishonesty.

                        Hey, .. maybe they will let him "dot the i" ...

                        • I'm fairly certain that every player that played for Coach Tressel would gladly walk over and give him a hug. I doubt any of them would cast him over the side for his failure to forward along an email.

                          It will be nice to have him there when OSU goes 12-0. Ol' No-Titles had his little moment against the worst OSU team in decades -- barely. But that blip is gone.

                          • TaintedBan:

                            I respect tOSU about as much as I respect a thief. Oh and I don't give two shits about basketball and wouldn't even if "UNL" was good at it.

                            I'm looking for a tattoo of Bausermann...any ideas?

                              And there you have it.

                              So, instead of a CCG appearance, and a trip to a BCS game, .. they will be satisfied with a "hug"....

                              Got it.
