Flight back to C bus at 2:40. Going to the basketball game friday night and The Game Saturday. :banger:

+1, I leave at 5:57. Have to fly into Detroit. I was thinking about walking from West Palm instead of landing in that hell hole, but I wouldnt make it for The Game. I wont be spending a dime there though.

Got Huntington Level tix for the Bball Bucks, to hear UFM, and the seniors talk, and seats in 7A, for The Game. We're going to have that shit rockin' like never before. Simon will be the normal destroyer he is, and Brax will have the game of his life.

As I watched Urban get interviewed on the field after the Wisky game, I noticed this sick grin on his face as he finished, and I said to my wife, "he's smiling because he just beat wisconsin and he didn't show Michigan anything."

I mean... I have trouble believing we played crap offense for the second half on purpose, but now I'm thinking that a good portion of the bye week was spent specifcally on the scUM game plan.

I don't know that we need to do a quadruple reverse like Meatchicken did last weekend, but I'm hoping that all hell will break loose on Saturday. Much like Tressel did to Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Friends, we played pretty boring ball the last five games that year, and then the freaking Rose Bowl, we looked like the Globetrotters by comparison.

I wouldn't put anything past us. Why not insert Kenny G for a few plays, with Braxton out wide and Hyde in the slot.... as a defense, who do you key on then?

Well, I'll be happy with 3 to 0 if it's a win, but still, just imagine what kind of crazy shit UFM could unleash for this game.

Just Win, Baby!

31-10, tOSU!

Does anyone else have a hard time understanding all the love Gardner's arm is getting? I haven't watched a ton of scUM with him at QB, but it seems like his punting arm is a little better than Detard's. As suspect as our pass defense has been this year I think our DB's are still a huge step up from the B1G dregs that Gardner has faced so far. I know we don't want to give scUM any bulletin board material, but our defense has to be licking their chops waiting for Gardner to unleash one of those punts that he completed to Roundtree against NU. Am I missing something?

Fuck scUM.

[censored] scUM.

I watched the NW game and a quarter or so of their game against Minny, and he appeared to be a decently polished passer (far better than Detard imo). He can run too obviously, but isn't going to kill you with his legs if you wrap up.

Didn't catch the Iowa game, but 6 tds is impressive regardless of opponent. I'm a bit concerned about their offense mainly because of how Gardner has played at QB, but I think the Buckeyes D will be ready to go.

35-24 Good Guys.

I don't know. It seems like everytime a QB gets time to set his feet and look down field he finds an open receiver against this pass D. If we rush 3 and drop 8 someones going to be open. If we rush Gardner too hard he can escape and find someone who's open. His skill set with even a modicum of accuracy is a bad matchup for our D.

Now, I'm pretty sure the level of D he's faced makes him look better than he is but I'm also pretty sure our D struggles like hell against the pass regardless of the quality of opponent.

Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't think we are going to win if the offense doesn't score 35+. Just my .02

Agree, let's score 70 just to be sure.

:shake:

Save the honest assessment for some other game.

tOSU will win this game. By two points or 102, I'm not sure.

FUCK THAT SHITHOLE UP NORTH!!

Shithole is one word, right?

We also had six weeks to prepare for the Rose Bowl...
