Please be careful about bringing this up - though, thankfully, not much has been written about the topic recently - which I hope is also the case for the next few weeks.

I will admit that my wife and I may have gotten Michigan into trouble once again.  For the second time in three years, we’ve captured images in an electronic format of the Michigan - Ohio State game  - signs were involved - and most importantly - an assessment / analysis of those signs as well.

The signs which were captured - respectively - in ‘21 and ‘23 were… “42-27” and “30-24”.  If this constitutes a material breach and reflects Sportsmanship / Code of Conduct issues - I hope the Michigan family accepts our apology.  I’ll serve any suspension imposed.

Our assessment included - Michigan demonstrated what kind of team they are on the field.

1. Cool video

2. Needed something like this after the previous thread topic

3. I'll have to take your word for it on the interception.  Between the one dude's head and the lady with the pom-pom I wasnt able to see very much.  But the sound was nice, never get tired of hearing that roar!

You know, looking at this + the TV broadcast, I was thinking:

Even if McCord wasn't hit during his throwing motion - say our pressure got there a split second later - you still have Moore crashing on the route/moving in front of MHJ. It's entirely possible there would have been a pick in that scenario.

That said, what happened happened and wheeee :)

I've read dozens of posts at 11W and OSU Twitter that this was "a big completion to Marv and possibly a touchdown" if McCord doesn't get hit.  I guess when you look at a still photo just before McCord releases and MHJ is "open", you can assume the ball will travel at the speed of light to the receiver and nobody will be able to make a play on the ball.  Just like all of the still photos showing that "guys were open but McCord couldn't find them."

It may not have been McCord's "best game ever" - but, it's not like he was in the tank either.

McCord completed 60% of his attempts - and, his YPA was a fraction higher than JJ's.   He delivered very accurate passes into tight windows - and, their receiving corps hauled them in.

What I haven't heard any / many Buckeyes say is - "the defense needs to get stronger".

The one stat that I feel is notable is: over the past three Michigan v OSU games - in the combined second halves - six quarters - the Buckeyes only forced one (1) Michigan punt.   Yes - one punt in six quarters - THAT is the elephant on the table.

I think it's just fantastic that the Buckeye brethren are so focused on McCord's shortcomings and don't realize the impact a defensive stop can actually have.

Where is the outrage at a paying ticket holder posting video footage online about a game that 100k+ other people watched live?

Where is the ncaa?

WHERE IS PETTITI?!!!

This must be a copyright infringement of some kind.

OMG, I just realized - Schembechler Hall, the Glick, they all have images of Michigan playing football.  Have those images been “approved” by Petitti, the other teams in the B1G, and the NCAA? If not - I can only imagine the fallout - those have to be L1 violations of some kind.

Oh, the humanity…

Rod Moore is awesome.  He was at the Somerset collection and literally was waiving off handlers telling him not to take any more pictures.  Dude was in a sea of people all singing Mr. Brightside and seemed to be having the time of his life.

I really felt like 2021 was better - not sure if it was louder, or the snow, or the feeling that "we're finally going to beat OSU" that built throughout the game.  This year the crowd was great, but I spent the whole game thinking "God I hope we don't lose, because we're the better team."

That was an awesome moment.  Now players really need to keep their helmets on until they get to the bench.  We have seen a number of questionable overturns come via replay, and that simple lack of discipline could have turned the game if the interception was overturned.
