Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Urban always says he'd rather his players be pissed off. Well, we got his wish for the next game.

Just got caught up on Zeke's post game comments. Wooooo boy. This team ain't winning again this season. Heads in much different places.

I dont want to admit it but I feel the same way. Fuuuuuuuuuuck.

We all knew this wasn't going to be another fairy tale ending to the year. I mean, repeating is nearly impossible. I just am going to be so disappointed if it totally unravels in embarrassing fashion though. I pictured us losing a hard fought game to Alabama in the playoff or some shit.
 
Loss is on the offensive coordinators. They are the one major new variable this year. The defense improved from last year while the offense completely regressed.

Today I only counted 3-4 times they even tried to throw the ball more than a few yards downfield. I don't think they hit or even tried to hit one crossing route the entire day. The play calling just broke this team's legs. The poor play calling has been derided in Columbus all year but it was covered over nationally by the Bucks talent and the fact that the teams they've played until today haven't quite been able to compete. This team had trouble scoring against Minnesota, Illinois, Northern Illinois, etc.

The Buckeyes played right into the one way MSU had to win this game.
 
Sorry boys. I have too. Respect to fans that were at the game. Looked like miserable weather conditions.

Zero crossing routes. I didn't see one slant. Not one screen to a running back or tight end.

There's a fine line between "let's fuck shit up" pissed off and "fuck this I'm done" pissed off.

Feels much more like the latter.
 
Tim Beck is a fucking dipshit. Guy was trash at Nebraska too. Urban wanted Mike Sanford, who is killing it at ND, but he turned us down for the Domers. Had to settle.
 
Fan on the radio just had a great quote. "An SEC finally came up North to play in the weather today and it was Ohio State." Urban Meyer seems to have real trouble calling and preparing for a game in bad weather, just like we imagine an SEC team would if they came up here and played in the weather.

Yeah, dropping 31 in a fucking snow storm at Minnesota last year sure proves that theory.

31 to 24 against a so-so Minnesota team.......like is that the game we're gonna go on to say he's a good bad weather coach?I had that game in mind as an example of us not playing well in bad weather....

Perhaps. Guess we'll see next week.
 
I mean, he wasn't even on the field for half the god damn plays. Wasn't even on the field! Smh..
 
Eh, this certainly didn't ruin my day. This team has had a national championship hangover all year. I am not going to be mad at the Bucks for at least two more seasons.

Beat Alabama. Won it first. The line starts with The Ohio State Buckeyes.
 
These opportunities to repeat occur once a generation. This team had major returning talent, a favorable schedule, and it was totally upended by one mind-blowingly bad hire. Seriously I don't think I've ever seen an OSU game where they didn't even try to throw downfield more than 2 or 3 times. There was the bomb where Miller was 5 yards up on the back and Barrett overthrew it, the horrific heave by Barrett in the 4th quarter, and that was about all I can remember. They did underuse Elliott but when you get 5 first downs and Elliott and Barrett average under 3yds/carry, you don't get a lot of chances.

This MSU team had a secondary that was getting torched by Nebraska, for crying out loud.
