Opponent Watch: Minny v Ohio Snowflake Thread

Wondering if during halftime someone tells the announcer how to pronounce "Ibrahim."
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:40 PM ^
My bad....
The announcer IS pronouncing it correctly!

JT was short
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:46 PM ^
Halftime show alludes to Joe Milton playing great. I check stats: he is 10/15 for 100 yards, no passing TDs at half against bowling green. Tennessee is winning 14-6. I feel like McKayla - not impressed.
Reggie Bush sure loves throwing shade at Michigan, too; gives off a very Barrett Salee vibe.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:48 PM ^
LOL he talks about how TN is giving him better pass protection than “the other school” did.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:53 PM ^
Reggie Bush is a dipshit. How the hell does Fox get two USC homers in the studio?
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:54 PM ^
Their studio is in Los Angeles
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:10 PM ^
Ok? ESPN is in Bristol, Connecticut so should they get Ray Allen and other people who came from UConn to be analysts.

Sportscenter has famously been accused of east coast bias over the years lol. 1You'd have thought the world stopped when the Yankees and Red Sox played.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:53 PM ^
"The other school" did not get to play Bowling Green with Milton as the starter.
We'll see how that pass pro looks against Florida, Georgia, etc.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:49 PM ^
They also said it’s all Tennessee. The score is 14-6?
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:00 PM ^
I just checked in to say the same thing. The score is up saying 14 to 6, one guy is repeating that, and the other guy is saying 'It's all Tennessee in the first half!" He obviously had decided what he was going to say about that game before getting the information on what actually happened and didn't bother to pay attention to that. A lot of these guys are not very bright.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:49 PM ^
That was complete horseshit. I would hope he couple beat bowing green
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:50 PM ^
I caught chunks of this game and the minute BGSU switched to a 3-man rush and went zone Tennessee's offense just stopped. Like, I think they had under 10 yards of total offense in the 2nd quarter.
Milton looks healthy but he still seems to have one speed and is struggling to deal with whatever coverage he's seeing.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:56 PM ^
It's a set full of former players that couldn't cut it in the NFL. Can't stand any of them.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:00 PM ^
BGSU will be one of the worst teams in football.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:46 PM ^
I've been telling anyone who will listen, that we are beating OSU this year. They are breaking in a kid at QB and we have Cade. Maybe now people will believe it.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:51 PM ^
Maybe if we played them week 2
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:56 PM ^
You do realize the OSU team you see tonight is not the OSU team we’re going to see in 12 weeks, right? They always get their shit together by the time of the Michigan game. And even if Stroud isn’t the guy, they have two other five star QBs on their roster. Including the guy everyone is calling the next Trevor Lawrence.
I’m not willing to bet that OSU whiffs on all of them.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:01 PM ^
Agreed.
Doesn't matter how OSU looks this game - its not like OSU hasn't been beaten or almost beaten by other lesser teams - they have.
The question is how they play against Michigan.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:02 PM ^
Bullshit. Their run was over when Fields left.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:05 PM ^
Luckily all we have to do is watch the season play out.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:11 PM ^
I admire your positivity. I’d prefer to call it being naive and misguided, but hey man, if we get to the end of the season and what you say is going to happen will actually happen, I’ll happily eat crow and admit I was wrong.
I see nothing, absolutely nothing, from this Michigan team that gives me any semblance of confidence that we even have a puncher’s chance against OSU. Much less a great shot.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:49 PM ^
OSU - 38
Minnesota - 21
Calling it right now. I’ve seen this movie way too many damn times to get any kind of hopes up.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:55 PM ^
Yep. And it will be something completely stupid and fluke like (like a Dobbins basketball fumble to himself) that will wake up the offense and then they’ll be unstoppable. Gag me.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:57 PM ^
What if it's more than just issues of lite experience and graduated talent? What if Day just isn't Urban, and this is the beginning of the end for the OSU dynasty?
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:19 PM ^
That’s the world we all want to live in, but I’ll believe it when I see it
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:20 PM ^
What if an earthquake hits? What if a meteor strikes?
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:58 PM ^
please, for the love of god, stop fucking calling them “minny.” jesus christ, you sound like a bunch of morons.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:17 PM ^
They are playing like Maxisota right?!
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:59 PM ^
sad to say it but this osu rushing attack is gonna be the difference
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:01 PM ^
You got that right. Pound the ball and then a play action pass or two and you got a TD. They can get at least 5 yards every time they run the ball
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:02 PM ^
They don't even need a QB.
September 2nd, 2021 at 9:59 PM ^
Too easy
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:00 PM ^
That was terrible
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:00 PM ^
Preparing for osu to win by 4 touchdowns. At least the halftime score brought great pleasure!
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:00 PM ^
Well that was fun.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:00 PM ^
Oof to that coverage by Minny
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:03 PM ^
Mini has to stay in this game. Offense needs to be unpredictable. The Mini OL has enough with the right play calling.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:04 PM ^
Minnesota going to need some key turnovers to keep this close.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:07 PM ^
LOL at the DB throwing his hands up as if that wasn't the most flagrant PI i've ever seen
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:07 PM ^
Dirty but smart play without spot fouls
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:08 PM ^
Followed by a dirty but DUMB foul by …. Day. Love it!
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:07 PM ^
Gopher receivers are baaaaaaad
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:07 PM ^
Horrible pass. Lucked out on the penalty
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:08 PM ^
Wow!!
kinda weak but we’ll take it!!
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:08 PM ^
Ohio State is getting the good night juice ready for Minnesota, penalty or otherwise.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:10 PM ^
...or maybe not.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:09 PM ^
PI and roughing the passer back to back on the suckeyes.
I think Morgan needs to keep on some of those reads.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:09 PM ^
LOL O Saggy getting all the flags Thank you Lord!
