Congratulations to the Canes!!
Luke looks somewhat clueless. Bauserman sucks big time. Braxton is NOT ready for primetime and they lost 24-6 still having three timeouts left. Hall was the only bright spot on an offense that did not see the field all that much.
Enjoyed the hell out of that game!
Go Blue!!!!!
[ED:BISB; I love it when Buckeyes lose, too. But LUL SUCKEYE comments will be vanquished]

That is all
What a fucking buffoon, I can't stop laughing at that image. I don't think that dude has any clue how big of a dumbass he looks like.
September 17th, 2011 at 11:11 PM ^
I was going to take a photo of that tool, but changed the channel too quickly. I cannot stand seeing that guy on tv every game, except when he looks depressed like that.
September 17th, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
That pic needs a "I haz a sad" caption
EDIT: or maybe a "hey ladies I'm single"
September 17th, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
Anal beads around his neck? Figures.
September 18th, 2011 at 1:19 AM ^
im in tears

I'm pretty sure those press-on tattoos he has on his face (well, neck) are in the realm of things only girls can get away wtih wearing.
September 18th, 2011 at 12:54 AM ^
September 18th, 2011 at 1:02 AM ^
It's those damn tattoos on his neck/ gobbler. It's pissed me off for years now

How can a coach who gives up on his team like that expect his players not to give up on him?
September 17th, 2011 at 11:10 PM ^
OSU's offense was abysmal today. Totally abysmal. Hopefully they play just as terrible against Michigan.
Hold OSU to like 30 yards passing
September 18th, 2011 at 1:17 AM ^
i knew luke looked familiar...
September 18th, 2011 at 1:37 AM ^
He was only down two scores, 17-6. If tOSU had stopped Miami on 4th & Goal, they would have had ~35 seconds left. If they had taken the timeouts, it could have been up to ~2:30, and at least tOSU would still have had a fighting chance.
September 17th, 2011 at 11:16 PM ^
the big ten is baaaaad. bad bad bad. if we can get the offense to be consistently productive, we could end up with a lot more wins than we initially thought. /knock on wood
September 17th, 2011 at 11:22 PM ^
Wisconsin looks pretty good, and Illinois had a nice win. I also think Nebraska is better than they looked today.
I would agree that the Big Ten lacks quality depth.

I live in SEC county and I get really sick of hearing how " there is just no talent like SEC talent"... It eats away at my organs but it's just true... The BIG has just been down the last few years.
September 17th, 2011 at 11:24 PM ^
That was schizophrenic and incompetent play calling / clock management. He should have stayed with the freshman all night. Bauserman is terrible. Miller can at least move the ball.
There's some great reading over on 11W. For instance:
"I support our guys. I love my team. Right now I am utterly disappointed and not optimistic toward the rest of the season. I will continue to root and cheer but I am honestly a shell of the man I was before watching this puke of a contest."
How's that for a slice of fried gold?
September 18th, 2011 at 12:32 AM ^
Who does he remind me of? He looks familar.
Oh! I know.
September 17th, 2011 at 11:59 PM ^
the taste of OSU misery is delicious. it was pretty wierd to root for Miami and i don't expect that to happen again. Their schedule in Oct is pretty tough - maybe a losing season?
September 18th, 2011 at 12:55 AM ^
who lives in Ohio call them "Ohio" today was the sweatest word I heard today.
September 18th, 2011 at 12:57 AM ^
As much as I enjoyed watching both MSU and Ohio lose today, it doesn't help out the B1G at all. As a conference, we looked pretty weak today (and the last few weeks).
And seriously, why did Fickell give up so easily? Three timeouts and it's a 2 possesion game? Somebody needs to tell this guy that timeouts don't carry over between games.
September 18th, 2011 at 1:20 AM ^
2 possesion game? you sure about that?
September 18th, 2011 at 1:40 AM ^
Miami scoring a TD on their last possession wasn't a given. Especially, if you're the tOSU coach.
September 18th, 2011 at 9:56 AM ^
"As much as I enjoyed watching both MSU and Ohio lose today, it doesn't help out the B1G at all."
Yeah that's gonna hurt our chances when they give out the Best Conference of the Year Award at the end of the season. Or when Best Conference Judgment Day befalls us in the ambiguously near future and we all have to take stock of our conferences recent achievements.
Honestly, who cares? Everyone knows that OSU is a perpetually good program and that the Big Ten is one of the top conferences in the country. Just enjoy watching them lose.
September 18th, 2011 at 1:07 AM ^
I think Fickell cemented his lame duck status with that faceplant.
September 18th, 2011 at 1:31 AM ^
Where's the rule that says we have to root for all B10 teams no matter what. In a general sense, sure, Michigan benefits if the other teams in the league benefit. But I can completely understand why a M fan would root against OSU anyway. They're not good guys.
September 18th, 2011 at 2:03 AM ^
I don't think today proves the big ten is that bad. Only 3 teams lost. Northwestern lost to Army. A depleted OSU lost away to (less depleted) Miami, and MSU choked on it for ND at ND when ND is probably deserving of a top 25 ranking if only they didn't have turn-over-itis.
Illinois has a big win and Nebraska removed a monkey from its bak. Everyone else performed up to expectations.
Anyway, since when has conference loyalty mattered? Pretty much because of the BCS where you want your conference to be strong so you can look good and get a higher ranking/ better bowl at the end of the year.
The SEC teams brag about conference because it helps them. If the lose a conference game they can say "It's only because our conference is so hard!" If they win a conference game they can say "This is a real achievement defeating such an difficult opponent".
I totally get that, but I can't root for OSU or MSU even agianst ND or Miami of Florida. I like them to be in pain. I'm just wired that way.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:56 PM ^
And Penn State squeaked by Temple
September 18th, 2011 at 2:06 AM ^
in Bowl Games. Outside of that, every OSU loss is a good loss. Not only because I can't stand them, but because Brady is making such a huge recruiting push in Ohio. Until Michigan can consistently beat MSU every year again, MSU losses are good as well for recruiting purposes.
September 18th, 2011 at 2:22 AM ^
it is better to pay your players in hookers and boat parties than cars and tats. A triumph for justice.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:30 AM ^
Part of me wanted to smile, but I couldn't - it dawned on me that, in reality, a down OSU team which has no QB to speak of and minus several of their key playmakers really can't cope an ACC opponent suffering from a case of suspension-itis. From the beginning, the momentum was all Miami and OSU looked totally lost out there. I could almost say the same thing about Iowa and Penn State, except they managed to shit wins out in their respective 4th quarters.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:29 AM ^
I'm sure ND is going to climb to #10 in the polls after that victory knowing the media. OSU/MSU would not feel bad if M lost so MSU lost a RT and OSU is in shambles, I'm good with this.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:39 AM ^
I was at the game. Man, did all of the ohio fans look stunned. What was funny was that the motto of the first half for the ohio fans was, "There's a lot of game left to be played." They we smirking and smiling and giving it right back to the Miami fans (who were all over them, by the way). I'll admit, I expected them to make a run at some point. It just didn't happen. If Jacory could throw a pass before EVERYONE in the stadium realizes that a receiver is open, they could have won by 30. When Miller fumbled, they started moving toward the door. You could just tell that they were not going to score. As always, there were a lot of buckeyes when the game started. There weren't many left when it ended.

Random sadness post.
"Time to worry.
Your coach seems lost and in way over his head.
You almost lost to Toledo. That game might reflect where your program really is right now. Your recruiting class looks like crap and with possible NCAA sanctions still in the wings. things could get worse on that front, much worse.
Miami, in spite of having some talent, is not a terribly good football team.
Wisconsin is a good football team. That should be a blowout as could Nebraska and Michigan State. Even PSU and Michigan could stick it to you as could Illinois.
You also now have some pretty good recruiters up north who have already started raiding the cupboard. Some of the Tressel magic against Michigan was RichRod, who is gone.
You have no guarantees Miller will take you to the promised land.
You assume Urban wants the job. That is probably a wrong assumption. He got tired of the pressure at Florida - why jump into another fishbowl with the whiners from Columbus with even more pressure.
Time to worry."
September 18th, 2011 at 8:36 AM ^
Question for anyone who was at the game: did they play "Boats and Hoes" in the stadium?
September 18th, 2011 at 10:10 AM ^
11W was a mix of sour grapes and self-abrogation with a side of fickell toast--last night.
