So much for getting my hopes up after Wonder Woman turned out to be a good movie.

They don’t respect the rivalry or Michigan football as a whole, and they have no reason to. They don’t define the season by beating Michigan anymore because it almost always seems like a foregone conclusion that they’re going to win. We walk into that game and we’re already down 10 points before kickoff. Just a huge psychological disadvantage.
Until we actually win the game, this really isn’t much of a rivalry anymore. Not to them anyway.

Unfortunately I have to agree, over the past 10 years or so the two outcomes always seems to be 1) we get curb stomped or 2) we lose a heartbreaker. So from the OSU side the only question is if we will give them a good game or not.

Not sure a bowl win against some mediocre Virginia Tech/Texas A&M-level team would salvage the season. I mean, it's better than a loss but still.

That 2011 and 2013 will always be in my top 10. Last year pissed me off so bad and I'm still pissed. If I saw one of those refs out and about, I think I'd piss pound them in public and run away like a little school girl. I know the message is the same as last year though. There's no Samuels so the running game needs to be stopped again and it should be easier. Kill the head of the snake as always and thats Barrett. He got sacked last year a ton but he never got hit. You know the schmucks from down south will be coming to play dirty and cheap so I wouldn't let them get the upper hand. Return the favor and smoke Barrett all day on his little candy ass read options. Make him win through the air and contain him. Main focuses right there. The difference for him can be simply with how your fans act throughout the game. If the stadium is unbearable noise wise for him, he will struggle big time just like he did in Kinnick when he choked his guts out. He's fallible without his refs and home crowd. Those looneys at Iowa got to him. It can be the same in the Big House if your lazy ass alum pull their heads out of their asses and yell at the guy. Please make it a home field advantage once. Do it for us fans who cant be there to help out.

Not expecting a win this year or next. But if we can't beat them in 2019 then we should just shut it down.
Still, with the way recruiting is trending, not sure we can afford another outright pummeling next week. I'd love to flip Devontae Dobbs ... losing an elite in-state OL should be a bigger scandal than it is.

Next year I'd like our chances a lot more than this, even if it's on the road. We're going to be a lot more experienced.
November 20th, 2017 at 8:21 AM ^
I'll have what you're having.
Going to a place we haven't won in since Clinton was in office, going up against all of Meyer's top 3 recruiting classes. Until we actually win there, I have next to no confidence that we have what it takes to beat them on the road.
Yeah yeah yeah everyone can say we should've beaten them on the road last year. Well....we didn't.

In terms of Harbuagh and the team's viability, a loss really doesn't make much difference. Given the injuries, no rational person, which doesn't describe about half the folks here, expects a win.That said I'll spend Saturday with a bunch of Michigan and OSU fans each of us rooting for our team.
Screw the injuries. It's football and anything can happen.
Go Blue beat Ohio anyway.

And so one of my favorite weeks of the year begins...
Welcome Hate Week. While you haven't come at a convenient time, I will always approach you with excitement. Let's do the impossible. Go Blue.

This is tOSU's only super bowl. Unfortunately for us we haven't really had all of our pieces in place for this game...esception was last year. Refs got us good.

Was just thinking of this the other day. Timeless.

Coach Brown, please have the back end prepared for CCR. Don't let them burn us on some stupid throwback or reverse. Do what you have to do to keep us out of bad matches in pass coverage. [Can Dobbins and Weber catch?]

OSU is beatable as OU and Iowa showed. Personally, I think O'Korn gives us just as much a chance to win as Peters. I thnk Peters is a little better passer (which isn't saying much) but O'Korn can make things happen with his legs.
We need Barrett to have an off day. If he is on and doesn't turn the ball over, forget about it. If he is off and throws a few int's, maybe we can get a few short field TD's.
The coaching staff has to bring thier A game. For once, I would like to see our staff outcoach one of our rivals. This is no longer an inexperienced team, they have a full season under there belt. Make some plays and stop the mental errors.

From an absolute physical ability standpoint at this point in their career (key words there) I actually agree JOK gives as good a chance. But I said "physical". His problem, and pardon me for laying on a 22 year old kid, is in his head. When he should use his legs he doesn't, when he should check down he throws deep in double coverage, when he should throw deep he checks down. It's like the wires are constantly crossed or the game is just too damn fast for him most of the time.

BEAT THESE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!
Exorcise all this season's demons on these punks. No one is more deserving. I want blood for last year. Run this shit up on them!

Sadly, osu will railroad us :(
