Game Thread Purdue at tOSU, Oct 20th, Noon ET, ABC/ESPN2

[Mike80]

I'm telling Mike80 you were trashing him.

He's an ass - he'll probably believe you though.

So....is this bashing? I'm just wondering.

"Mike80 needs to stop being such a fucking asshole."

That's constructive criticism right there.

Now if you said "Mike80 won't stop being such a fucking asshole and there is no way to fix it" - that's bashing.

Mike80 needs to focus on improving his non-assy skill set.

Mike80 may be over-contributing to the overall assitudinality of BP.

:p

My prediction:

Appears your thread prediction was spot on.

TL;DR means "too long, didn't read." i didn't make it past the quote below. therefore TL;DR

he's a mod. he can give infractions. especially for bashing.



he's definitely a smart guy. however, mods are not immune to the rules. not to mention the obvious contradiction in the quote above. why did he allege that Devin Smith was to blame for all the woes when Carlos Hyde clearly (according to him) did the exact same thing?

green) got a call at the bar last night that a buddy got picked up for DUI. needless to say, i didn't go bail him out.

I read that three times and didn't see anything even resembling bashing.

he bashed Devin Smith. who made the 39 yard catch to put the Buckeyes in scoring position on the last drive.

You consider that bashing?

It sounds like you have an axe to grind. Then you pulled your axe out of the bag when you mentioned a previous infraction. Really? From three years ago?

It is posts like this that make me say, "Why bother?" And quite frankly, I don't bother nearly as much as I used to, which is why I no longer do the BP Poll, the BP Awards, and recruiting blogs, and rarely do post-game reviews. And the guys who used to write the BP game previews feel the same way as I do, which is why you don't have game previews this year.

We want to keep BP a free and open society, so that even posters like you, who contribute nothing to the site either intellectually or financially, can still have a place to voice your opinion, however misguided and unfounded it may be. But just because we allow whiners and complainers and nit pickers and nay sayers here, it doesn't mean that we have to provide anything for you to tear apart. So when the content dries up and the conversations wind down, and the people who care stop caring, at least you'll know why it's happening.

Not now, Tron.

 

[TDunk]

Be careful. The Smilies will be next.

Re-watching the game, after Hope's comments, this really [censored]es me off.

2 horsecollar tackles (one on Hyde, the other on Miller) without a single penalty called (someone already posted the rulebook that said pulling from the jersey IS a horsecollar tackle)

2 delay of game penalties that weren't called even though they called it on us.

block in the back inside the tackle for a safety even though inside the tackles is legal.

Blatant Holding on almost every single play and he's whining about OSU holding?

Hold on the Kickoff TD return. Neutral zone infractions uncalled on multiple occasions....

and because of mods like you, I stopped giving financially. Sorry man, but do you realize how incredibly sensitive you sound? If I described it, everyone would consider it bashing.

If you actually enjoy doing something, then you continue to do it for yourself and others that enjoy it. You ignore the negative critics and you continue to do what you enjoy. Either that or you never enjoyed doing it in the first place, and you are now blaming others for something you never wanted to do.

Everyone in the world who does anything will have negative things said about it. If you can't handle that, then you never really wanted to do it in the first place, and the last thing you should be doing is complaining that others forced you to quit. You chose to quit. It's on you. Stop pointing your fingers at others.

My prediction:

Yep, our offense was indeed a trainwreck...

 

[3074326]

I googled "panties in a bunch" and didn't really think about it, but most of the image results were inappropriate. Some were awesomely inappropriate.

Anyways, imagine a photo of panties in a bunch in this post. It applies to Purdue's coach and some posters here. :p

oooh, he's intellectually and morally superior.

please forgive me for having the audacity and unmitigated gall to deem myself worthy of reading your awesomely insightful and mind-blowingly intelligent posts.

The problem isn't that you disagree with him, lv. You can do that. Vehemently, even. But the whole "I oughta ding you but can't be bothered actually making my case" is a bit on the weak side. If you want to ding something without actually making a response, well, go for it. Better than starting a fight on the board when you aren't actually interested in making an argument.

Moving on...

 

[Bill Lucas]

Yep, let's move on from this shit.

I rewatched the game yesterday. What stood out to me is that it was more Ohio State stopping themselves on offense than Purdue making stops on defense.

A fumble, a questionable fumble recovery and several off target passes to open receivers. The offense was just a bit out of sorts. Add in the fact that Purdue ate up a ton of clock and limited the possessions by Ohio State and you have a shortened game offensively for the Buckeyes.

The defense was certainly improved on the scoreboard but Purdue still drove the ball down the field and ate up clock. They had numerous missed opportunities. A missed field goal, a blocked field goal and an interception in the end zone.
