Ohio State at Northwestern, Saturday, January 27, 2024, 8:30 PM ET, BTN

[AuTX Buckeye]

We've never cultivated big Auburn type athletic donors. It goes back to Woody and for good reasons. We have the fifth largest public university endowment in the country, and if you want to dig down into the UC "system" endowment along with tejas and aggy system endowments, we're realistically third behind tcun and UVA as a single campus endowment.

My point is that we don't have the type of alumni "athletic department" whales that have that type of power. We've spent 70 years trying to prevent that, and I think it's been a policy that's served us very well. It's going to be a Carter/Bjork decision as it should be.

That decision should be to swing the axe. New B1G tv money will easily pay for it.

Yeah I understand we dont have the "Big Cigars" on the athletics side... it was more of a joke

I remember when Northwestern was pretty much a guaranteed win. Even on the road. We lose by 25. EMBARRASSING!!

 

[NFBuck]

I'm not even watching because tOSU basketball at this point is a snuff film, but how in the FUCK do you not fire the coach now? This team gets eaten alive by mediocre teams. They're not even competitive. Start looking for his replacement right fucking now.

Announce Holtmann firing or don’t tweet at all.......

 

[NFBuck]

6 top-100 and 4 top-50 recruits on this roster by my count and this is the product you produce?

At least Santo Ono has the cowardice to abandon twitter when cowardice is called for.

 

[Herb Kirkstreit]

It was never a fair fight. They let just anyone into a school like Northwestern. The academic standards at Ohio State just don't allow the same level of athlete into the school. /s

 

[HenryMuto]

Damn

 

[JCOSU86]

And yeah, fuck you, Gene. His career long neglect of both hockey programs has been my primary knock on him but extending Holtmann is right the fuck up there.

And baseball. A bad hire produced bad results for that program

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Damn

What?….don’t tell me tonight’s results surprise you.

 

[Jake]

It was 31-25 with 3 minutes left in the first half. Over the next 16 minutes of play, the Bucks were outscored 44-15.

Fire Beals!

 

[Thump]

You are down 35 fucking points. There is no strategy for this. Put the new blood in!@

Is that bad?

Never watched a team that made more s**t shots than NW. It seemed like everything they threw up went inside the hoop. Watched balls climb up the rim and over into the nets, saw off balance heaves split the cords, simply everything (OK, not 100%, I get it) found the bottom of the net. Plus, tOSU's offense looked like a peewee game (used to call it 'herd ball'), and no one was spacing, cutting, or setting picks (called it more of a California stop - at a stop sign). Great win for NW, toppling the mighty Ohio State, burying them actually. Starting to believe Holtmann doesn't have the leadership skills to reset, or have team believe in him to have the answer. Saw couple of freshmen, but in cameo appearances, not getting meaningful minutes. Woulda acknowledged the outcome early in fourth quarter and emptied the bench. Who knows, somebody might have played well, and hopefully gotten more minutes down the stretch. Bjork might have an item for the top of his 'to do' list already.
