Get this, brother:oh:

Don't attack at a great poster and fan with some weak-ass [Mark May] like you just came with.

Milwood has been around here for "forever" and despite whether you like it or not he has the ability to take off the "glasses" and see things how they really are. We all love our Buckeyes, but this is not a good football team right now, and may not be for the rest of the year. The man made his point, so respect it. If you disagree that's fine, but don't bash because of it. :io:

Anyway, continue to be a Buckeyes fan throught whatever the season brings us. You're on the BEST Buckeye spot on the Planet, respect the people that helped make this site possible.

Peace

I concur.

I've been around this site since the beginning of the Tress era and have gotten to know many on this site. I also get a sense for how they feel about the Bucks in particular circumstances. Mil is a loyal Buckeye fan in and out.

These are very weird times for us all to digest. Some of our more youthful fans probably have never experienced a losing season, at least when they were really paying attention. Welcome to the rebuilding process. It's easy to be a fan when you win, but the true ones rely on one another to see a brighter day when things are bad. I have fully expected this to happen since the Tress resignation, so I'm not surprised by the lack of success this season. A legend does not leave without a groundswell behind him. The dust will settle soon; we have the advantage of our past success, which speeds up the rebuilding process. It's going to be a rough season, so buckle up folks. After it's all said and done.........it's time to let this program cycle into a new era with a new staff.

The original post is thankfully gone, though I think Mili's bet is still a good one. There aren't three more losses on this schedule, no matter how many times Bollman calls"Dave".

Indiana, Purdue and State Penn suck. Michigan always sucks. Nebraska sucked harder on Saturday than we did. It's time for the Zooker to get Zooked, and fuck Bucky.

We'll pay Dantonio back in Indy.

Did I cover it? I covered it. Bandwagon exits to the left.

I'm not jumping ship on this team or this year. And I, too have been following OSU football since 1968. Through good and bad, I am a Buckeye!
Anyone who has given up on this team, give your tickets to someone who will cheer this team. Stay the f#*k home!

I am just as optimistic but Huskers losing badly makes me worry that they are gonna be really [censored]ed off for Saturday. Hopefully, we pull it together.

Side note: I work with two MSU fans. One I saw Saturday night and he was happy but he realized both of those teams on the field were not good but he still enjoyed the win. The other is my boss and was all giddy this morning like they won a NC. I simply told him he must be proud to only put up 10 points on arguably the worst Buckeye team (that day) I have seen in a LONG time. I only heard crickets after that. :io:

I have a number of MSU buddies, who were very happy to come away with a win at the Shoe against us. They also realized that their team has an Achilles heel by the name of Curt Cousins. They saw the 2 pick sixes we dropped.....

Do you think Nebraska may have played a better team than MSU? Just maybe? Cousins had an awful game, we were lucky it was close.
I'm afraid the Huskers will win by at least 17.

Just remind her that it took MSU 8 tries to finally beat us in football. Also ask her how many national titles they have or how many Heisman Trophy winners they have.

Has much been made about the hit that Verlon Reed took on that onside kick? The msu player wasn't playing the ball at all, he simply ran in there and smashed Reed and caused that knee injury. Not to mention it was a blow to the head to boot. That really sucks for Reed, and looked pretty dirty to me..........just wondering
