Late afternoon/evening games Open Thread
Couple of afternoon games are still finishing up and then two of our rivals play what should be interesting games this evening. In Knoxville, Tennessee has just tied Georgia 24-24 in the 4th. And Okie St. just jumped back in front of Kansas St by 1 late in the game.

If they're undefeated when they come to Ann Arbor, we'll have to play them two weeks in a row - best case scenario.
I'd rather just have them lose another game along the way and have Wisconsin win it instead.

Hope we get a "Carlos Hyde" effort from Toussaint when we play NW. We're going to need it.
October 5th, 2013 at 11:45 PM ^
PF has to challenge that. That's his best chance to win. Everyone in the country knew that Northwestern's defense couldn't stop Ohio.
October 5th, 2013 at 11:49 PM ^
Except that they did stop OSU.
October 5th, 2013 at 11:45 PM ^
Oh well. We'll get our shot at them next month. That's all we can ask for. Hopefully we can channel our inner 90s and hand them their only loss of the season.

Northwestern looked like the better team for about 80% of that game, and if OSU ends up playing them in the conference title game, I'd be surprised if NW doesn't win.
October 5th, 2013 at 11:47 PM ^
A NW loss was not the best outcome. OSU won't lose now and more than likely it won't matter if Michigan beats them because they'll still get into the B1G championship game.

I keep building my hopes for one of those improbable, bad-team-plays-game-of-their-life efforts, but then I realize that Ohio State always finds a way to win those, too.
All is sadness, darkness, and pain.

Ohio was going to the BTCG even with this loss and a loss to us in the Game. If the Badgers lose to Northwestern next Saturday this game will be rendered mostly meaningless.

I do hate osu on a personal level...what Michigan fan shouldn't?
October 5th, 2013 at 11:53 PM ^
It doesn't really matter all that much. Nobody from the Big Ten is going to sniff a national title this year anyway.
October 5th, 2013 at 11:55 PM ^
Well I'd rather osu not get to the title game at all than still get there and lose....
October 5th, 2013 at 11:56 PM ^
Agreed, but my God would it be a bloodbath should they get there. Oregon would put up 60 against them.

I think we will beat them in Ann Arbor. But what I hate is that we'll then have to turn around and play them again a week later, since no it looks like one else in the B1G will take care of business against them. Going 2 for 2 is going to be hard as hell.

Anyone want to explain how osu got this big ten schedule?
Wisconsin-Home
Northwestern- Away
Iowa- Home
Penn State-Home
Purdue- Away
Illinois- Away
Indiana- Home
Michigan-Away
Don't have to travel to Iowa City, State College, or East Lansing. Only have to ''travel'' to 40 thousand seat Ryan Field and Ann Arbor. Come on.
October 6th, 2013 at 12:03 AM ^
as it is to watch Ohio continue to win games and play a shitty schedule, we will have our shot, that is the beauty of it all. I am just hoping that we are healthy and vastly improved in every aspect by the time November 30 rolls around. it is time for us to put an end to this streak, even if Ohio still plays in the B1G title game, we need to kick their ass at the end of november.

Someone should tell him to look at his own quarterback for inspiration on terrible QBs.
Probably should include Roby and the Ohio secondary as well for uninspiring play.
October 6th, 2013 at 12:10 AM ^
October 6th, 2013 at 12:18 AM ^
Yep. It's mind-boggling that a replay official would overturn that call without a straight camera angle. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but it's hard for me to believe that Big Ten officials aren't at least subconciously biased favor of OSU. They know that OSU is the conference's best shot to be remotely relevant this year.

One of many reasons I love NCAAF more than the NFL: late night west coast games. This Stanford/WA game won't end until 1:30 or 2:00 AM EST. This is awesome.
October 6th, 2013 at 12:35 AM ^
October 6th, 2013 at 12:40 AM ^
Is anyone watching Stanford play MANBALL?
October 6th, 2013 at 12:44 AM ^
I am.
October 6th, 2013 at 12:46 AM ^
I am thinking about starting a late night thread. I am sick of navigating to the end of an 800 post thread.
October 6th, 2013 at 12:47 AM ^
Go for it
October 6th, 2013 at 12:51 AM ^
Do it. Do it now.

It's only a great call if it works! Great call, Sark.
October 6th, 2013 at 12:51 AM ^
Washington just won't quit.
October 6th, 2013 at 12:56 AM ^
It's cool how patient UW has been with Sark. Granted, they were a dumpster fire when he got there, but in takes a while to really build a winning culture and they've given him time.
oops....long return
