There is no need to avoid the game thread on game day. Criticism is acceptable but remember the common saying in rugby: "Play the ball, not the man".

It's acceptable to make observations about the state of play in the game. For instance, "They are getting through on the right side of the line. Lineman X is getting pushed back off the line of scrimmage almost every play." or "Robo has been open four times on the long ball today and Quarterback X hasn't seen him. Look for Tressel to exploit that in the second half."

Grad21 and other mods have given lots of examples of what is not acceptable. If you think what you just said might be bashing a player or coach, it probably is.

Think of these players and coaches as if they were members of your family, of whom you were very proud because they achieved their dream to play for Ohio State.

Then, treat them like they really were family when you post.

I'm not trying to sound like a little girl, but it's just very sad that the week leading up to possibly the biggest and most defining game of the season for the Buckeyes, their own fans are questioning whether or not the team is in tact and unified. From what it looks like, we are the ones that are not unified. Last I checked, we were ranked number 5 in the polls. No one, outside of our loyal fan base and the team, expects us to win, and when we do, pollsters would be hard-pressed not to shoot us to the top.

If you have any fucking problems with the way the team performed on Saturday, take into account that the last national championship team in '02, barely won many of their games. It took a last minute drive to beat Cincinnati, Holy Buckeye to Jenkins, and I know there were more close calls, too, against inferior opponents. Also, take into account, they were missing their workhorse, too, for some of those games. The backup RB's are very capable, but they cannot compare to Beanie.

If you think that the team is going to go out there and wilt on national television, save your breath. They have been embarrassed two years in a row in the title games. When they hear their own fans booing possibly one of the best teams Columbus has ever seen, oh my fucking God, they are going to come out and want to wreck the shit out of Pete Carroll and the Trojans.

That national championship team of 2002 didn't play Miami the third game of the year without MoC.
