To be fair, he might not know what holding is...
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:06 AM ^
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:07 AM ^
Yeah. Bad call, but do you trust Hornibrook to go 45 yards in 1:40 or whatever? I do not.
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:27 AM ^
Both teams looked terrible imo. It looked like an ad for putting Bama in. And I hate Bama.
December 3rd, 2017 at 1:12 AM ^
Yea, i thought Wisconsin's 3-4 actually looked pretty terrible. They did get penetration a few times, but most of the time Barrett had all day to do what he wanted. And Barrett and the RBs pretty much had a consistent 3-5 yards easily when attacking the outside LBs.
Also their DBs got exposed, very early in the game, which it seems they adjusted for later. But still their defense overall looked much more flat-footed (DBs) and porous (LBs) than I anticipated.

run the damn ball, even with hornibrook on a QB draw. for fuck sake.
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:25 AM ^
But he was doing just that! UW had moved the ball about 30 yards, efficiently, until that call put them back to 1st & 20. It should have been off-setting - though a very fair case could be made that there was no hold, since the guy was off balance pushed from the side. Instead, UW was behind the sticks with a bad feeling, and that was that.
Whether Hornibrook would have led them to that TD, nobody knows. But we do know that they were screwed bad with a horrible no-call, something OSU has greatly benefitted from the last couple of years.
Fuck OSU.

a very mediocre year IMO.

Smart people and work in good faith he states. That guy lost his mind already. Crooked fuck.
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:22 AM ^
Do we not remember the 31-0 beat down last year? Why can't a 1 one loss Wisconsin get into the playoffs? PSU won the confrence and won the head to head last year and didn't make it in. Let the same happen to Ohio.
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:34 AM ^
they played in the top 20 they lost to. They're not a top 4 team by any metric or eye test.

"You could look at [Ohio State-Iowa] as Ohio State’s ninth [conference] game. They could have played an FCS opponent"
He's a dick, but he has a good point. Alabama played Mercer as their 9th game. They never even took the risk of a bad game.
He is not wrong on that point.
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:28 AM ^
December 3rd, 2017 at 11:31 AM ^
or you could just look at it like anyone else would which isn't a justfication for scheduling a lesser opponent.
The issue isn't whether you played one more conference game, it's that you got beat badly when you played it.
Michigan got no credit last season for losing to Iowa by a single point on the final play of the game, after it then lost to Ohio State in two overtimes with horrific officiating mixed in. And Michigan crushed the very team that was allowed into the conference championship, which having then won it, were subsequently excluded from the playoff by Ohio State.
Ohio State got the benefit of the doubt last year and proceeded to see that voter doubt shattered by the reality of their awful performance in the playoff against Clemson, the very team they would liikely be matched up with this year if allowed to slither into the playoff again.
No, Ohio State might be the Big Ten's Alabama, but they don't deserver any special consideration on a national level. They squandered that consideration last year. Sorry, not good enough.

It's a shame there isn't another team like USC up for consideration. I really don't want either of these teams to get in. Just a big crap sandwhich.
This whole BCS championship thing is just a big abortion. Either go back to traditional bowls and vote on the champion or have a real playoff.
December 3rd, 2017 at 8:07 AM ^
OSU shouldnt jump Bama. Bama would bitch slap OSU. OSU are frauds
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:55 AM ^
How do you know Alabama isn't a fraud too? It's not like they've proven much this season.
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:09 AM ^
I'm just waiting for some very serious fan to get fed up with it and walk into the B1G headquarters or something. I'm not going to write what I wish would happen but man would that be one for the ages. I don't know how that isn't called though. That receiver was tackled. Something is so off it's almost to the point it's just unreal. It's really bad.
December 3rd, 2017 at 3:58 PM ^
Uh, what are you implying here?
Edit: Seems it got deleted. Good.
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:07 AM ^
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:16 AM ^
I want to agree with you, but how does OSU winning help get the B1G more money?
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:23 AM ^
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:25 AM ^
Yes they will. Resume is clearly better than Alabama.

The committee has shown it doesn't care about the losses. It cares about good wins.
December 3rd, 2017 at 1:01 AM ^
The committee has also shown that it will take 11-1 teams that didn't win their division with a reasonable loss to a good team over 10-2 conference champions with a blowout road loss.
If OSU makes it in despite Bama being in the same situation the Buckeyes used to enter last year, the Tide should rightfully raise holy hell.

They are conference champions.
The burden of proof is on Alabama since they are not conference champions. They don't have that compelling proof this season.

It's not a smug smirk, it's that the assclown has a chin like a turtle so it just looks like a smug fucking smirk, or it could be that he is a smug fucker
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:08 AM ^
How did we lose to either of these teams. Their QB play is as bad as ours this year but we had an excuse that we didn't have our 1st string QB
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:29 AM ^
December 3rd, 2017 at 1:00 AM ^
We were winning when JT got hurt. So, theoretically their bad QB didn't beat us.
