Are all the OSU games on the BTN?

I love the BTN.

If you bring top shelf liquor you can watch the game at my place.

I actually am loving BTN, but if I didn't have it I would be hating it, I'm sure.

Kent State is the last one

Are you sure? It looks to me like several of them are still TBA, if this link is accurate: http://bucknuts.com/football/schedule/

Grey Goose will get you in the door, but Finlandia is better.

I'm going to my grandparents to catch this one.

Mac: Kick-ass avvy there, Winslow owned him.

Awesome Boeckman with 2 picks already in the first half...

This reminds me when we chose Zwick over Smith

Get Henton in there, he can't do much worse

3-2 OSU!!!

Dominance

Absolutely pathetic performance

3-2 vs the Akron Zips

This is what you get when you schedule cupcakes, I don't see how it benefits the team, going against below average talent. Focus is at a minimum, as is effort. If this was Indiana or Purdue we'd be down 21-3. It does nothing for our strength of schedule. Absolute garbage.

It benefits the team b/c we still get a win while giving up 5 turn overs. Do that vs Purdue, like you said and we lose. These early games allow a young buckeye team to work out the kinks, and still be in shot of a BCS game.

No TDs surrendered yet this year. Remember in 2002 we won a record 14 games and the Sears trophy with a great defense. A great defense makes for at least a good team, almost regardless of anything else. Similarly, a terrible defense makes for a terrible team, almost regardless of anything else. See Michigan.

Games summary: http://bucknuts.com/news/story.php?article=1652

How dominant was the OSU defense? The Buckeyes (2-0) forced Akron (1-1) to punt a school-record 14 times.

* The yardage total for Akron is believed to be the lowest yards allowed by OSU in at least a decade. OSU’s research shows the Buckeyes gave up just 104 yards in a 1996 win over Minnesota. The school record for fewest yards allowed is 27 to Michigan in the 1950 Snow Bowl

* OSU has now won 20 straight regular season games, dating to a 2005 loss at Penn State. The school record is 21 straight regular season wins from 1967-69. The Buckeyes have also won 13 straight home games dating to a 2005 loss to Texas.
