Mike Judge was the creator.  They're advertising Mike Judge now because between Office Space, and King of the Hill, he's established.  MTV is dealing with high school and college kids that probably had never seen Beavis and Butt Head, but know who Mike Judge is.

Go figure. Why couldn't we play them when Sparty had to? Lucky bastards. Miller is improving every week.

Not really, they have just taken his arm completely out of the offense.

Pass attempts the last 4 games:

13

10

8

4

He still hasn't completed more than 8 passes in a game, and that was against Akron.  Other than that game he has never completed more than 5(!) passes in a game.

My 2 cent preview cuz I'm bored:

MSU and OSU have the defensive script to slow UM down.  Just look at last year's OSU game.  7 wtf points?  37-7?  FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHG.

Our D is better, and OSU's O is worse this year, but that alone won't spell a W.

Borges disappointed with his MSU gameplan, so what it will boil down to is if he can learn from the MSU game to come up with a plan to unleash Denard more against an OSU D that will look like a mirror image of what we saw vs MSU.

It's on you Gorgeous!

We'll also need a strong performance from Lloyd Brady and Facepalm Guy.  If they both come to play, we'll all be hangin off the stop light on South U like back in 1989 when Rumeal sunk the free throws!



Go Blue.

I know it's just Hoke's first year, but with our desperation to turn the page, OSU's current vulnerability and, of course, the unthinkable streak that would extend to two full cycles of recruiting classes with a loss, this already feels like the most must-win game in a long time.

I never thought I could have mixed feelings about a 10-2 season when the expectations were more along the lines of 8-4, but if those two losses both extend the winning streaks of our hated rivals, it would hurt. Hard.

29 days and 23 hours from now the band will have their hats on backwards, the seniors will be celebrating their first big win over a rival, and maybe, we'll have claimed the inaugural West Division Championship.

Obviously still early, but has there been any information on the grave walk this year? Since the Game is on Thanksgiving weekend, it might be tough to have it the night before. I remember this was the case last year but can't remember what the outcome was.

This is going to be a slugfest. OSU has a great defense. Poor Offense. We have a good defense (right?) and a borderline good/okay offense. (Offense as a WHOLE not just Denard Robinson) I give Michigan the slight edge because: a) Hoke will emphasize the game b) @ Michigan Stadium c) Denard Robinson d) Buckeyes starting freshman QB 

It's nice not knowing what will happen and anticipating a good game. The last couple years, I had hope we could win, but deep down I knew what would probably happen.

So I guess this is on topic, does anyone have experience buying scalped tickets for the Game? The main reason I'm advocating a long drive to the in-laws for Thanksgiving is the chance to go to the Game. What do folks think tickets will be going for outside?

And if anyone wants to sell two tix, the last Ohio game I went to was 2003... good karma.

I'm guessing they will be ridiculous to scalp. Probably much better off buying one sooner rather than later. I just bought a student ticket for my sister $100..just needs validation, so good deals are out there.

The Bear look really slowed msu down. osu's passing is half of msu's. It should be a battle of special teams and mistakes.

Gibbons or Wilde could be our MVP that game. And or Hagerup.
