This guy named Bo says, "Ohio State is beatable."
So let it be written. So let it be done!

Damn, way to go Robin!
Who sang it's all just a little bit of history repeating?

Classic Bo, a stupendously titled column (there's no PC in "Broad-side"), and a sports editor named Bill Dinner to boot... Simply fantastic.
The semicolon in the hed is agita-inducing, but probably not worth jumping in the TARDIS to fix.

Robin Wright was a hotty.

Yessiree. Shame she gave up sportswriting to marry Sean Penn.

In my dream, Bo told Jimmy to Win The Game. And Jimmy won the game.

A lot of parallels to this year's game. Eerily so.

“And despite the score, we were still unemotional after the game.”
Bo was completely bullshitting there—as he openly admitted immediately after the OSU game, and in printed recollections years after, his team was so stoked after the Iowa victory that they were screaming in unison “Beat the Bucks!! Beat the Bucks!!” in the locker room at Iowa after dismantling the Hawkeyes. He said some of his assistants were afraid the team was too high emotionally in the week prior to the OSU game.

Of course they are beatable. but....

t...heads.

PSU showed that OSU can be beat and Michigan is a much better team the second half of this season.
Comparing 3 Identical Opponents 2nd half of season
PSU/ IND 371 yrds/ 462 IND Points 34 / IND 27 MICH 453 /321 39 / IND 14
PSU/ MSU 302 yrds/ 265 MSU PSU 28 / MSU 7 MICH 467 / 220 44/ MSU 10
PSU/ Mich 283 yrds/ 417 Mich PSU 28 / MICH 21
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PSU 956 yrds Opp 1,144 yrds PSU 90 / Opp 55
Mich 1,337 yrds Opp 827 Mich 104 / Opp 52
With these numbers, it is easy to see the Wolverine Offense is significantly more productive and our defense is significantly better as well. Also PSU played 2 of 3 at home while Michigan played 2/3 away. GO BLUE!

Repeat the White Out game today and Michigan wins by 3 touchdowns, if not more.

We've got those big posterboards for playcalling, right? The victory formation one should be McGary's "win the game" whiteboard.
November 28th, 2019 at 9:27 AM ^
That Robin Wright has gone on to be very accomplished. I can't get over the fact that the night editor's name was Bill Dinner.
November 28th, 2019 at 10:22 AM ^
So much more candid conversation from the Coach - a different time.
But hopefully, history can repeat itself here...

Anyone else read this column in Bo's voice? I was listening to Bob Ufer, A Life in the Season on YouTube the other day, part 4 or 5. The episode started off with Ufer interviewing Bo in the locker room before the 1969 game. This is exactly what he said that no team is unbeatable. Anyone can be beaten. The same holds true 50 years later. Beat those Bucks!!!!

We need and deserve this. May the boys in maize and blue play a complete game on Saturday. Go Blue!

Robin Wright's column in the Daily was called the "Broad-Side"? LOL
