Noon Games Open Thread?
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
Nobody remembers how good or bad we were before all of those losses to Ohio State since 2003. They just know we lost.
One of my favorite wins over OSU was in 1988 - the Kolesar show where he accounted for all of the yards on the game winning TD drive. Turns out, OSU was pretty bad that year. I didn't even remember that. Don't care, it's still one of my favorite wins.
I don't care how good or bad they are when we beat them. Just beat them and let history sort it out.

Why do you think the upset in '69 is so legendary, so historic, so special, so memorable, so important & meaningful?
Do you think it would be any of those things if the buckeyes had sucked?
This was going to be an incredible season for the ages to win this league and go to the playoff because of the impossible gauntlet we had to run through. Now our schedule is looking pretty fucking mediocre at best.
If OSU loses, and especially keeps losing like so many of you lilly livered fans desire, that takes everything meaningful out of beating them! Woopty shit we FINALLY fucking beat them when anyone can beat them? Hollow revenge.
Worthless win that proves nothing to the committee, to the doubters, or college football in general. Michigan will get zero credit in anyone's mind and it won't count at all toward getting the OSU or rivals monkey off Harbaugh's or M's back. It might keep us out of the playoff.
If you don't want to beat the best teams and have a tough schedule and monster rivals what is the fucking point or joy in winning???
Well at least you guys can relish your most cherished win, 78 zip vs our biggest rival!
Maybe you guys would be happier if we joined the Mac?
Jesus!
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:06 PM ^
We don’t need them to win and losing this game helps recruiting for us and hurts them. A loss is way better.
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:52 PM ^
Looks like Robert Smith is starting to realize that OSU is very meh this year. His face is one of worry and resigned...maybe this team can't get their shit together.
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:52 PM ^
OSU players look like they have given up on the coaches and team. As we have experience with, this is not something you can change.
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:53 PM ^
Problem is, that attitude will not apply to The Game.
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:56 PM ^
True. Even Hoke had OSU on the ropes every year.
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:52 PM ^
Is getting beaten like a Scarlett-haired step child a thing...?
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:52 PM ^
Wow. OSU what a tire fire. Crowd booing at halftime. Can't wait to run up the gut against these guys.
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
Schiano was a bad hire. Urban may retire after this season.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
Schiano was a great hire - shows Urban’s shortcomings as a program architect.
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:55 PM ^
Is Matt Canada the first coach to ever be the “Interim Head Coach” twice in the same season????
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:05 PM ^
For some reason I think of Matt Patricia, when I hear or read Matt Canada.
Both are interim coaches, so maybe that's it....

Commercial for "which college has the best mascot?"
We do! And without even trying.
MW has always been the best college mascot.
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:56 PM ^
Why is Rutgers a D1 team?
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
Zip code.
No other reason. If there were 20 miles outside of Manhattan Kansas, they'd be a DIII program.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
Gives us someone to call a rival
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:56 PM ^
Unfortunately this will not help the B1G at all in the eyes of the voters.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
We will help the Big Ten.
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:57 PM ^
Rooting for Nebraska is exasperating. They do so many gaffes in between all the good stuff.
November 3rd, 2018 at 1:57 PM ^
Buckeyes are a hot mess. We’re going to pummel them, period.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:00 PM ^
if Michigan doesn’t beat Ohio State by at least 21 I’m gonna be pissed.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:00 PM ^
This is what I would be reading if I were sitting at the Chew...and it is quite worthy of your time
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:05 PM ^
Note- A kind reminder to you participants in today's Buckeyes open threads: we're allowing voting today as a tool- not a weapon- to help us monitor, self-govern, and self-police commentary during the game. We know that passions run high at times; we make allowance for that. But ad hominem attacks, vulgar and/or obscene comments directed against either the team or fellow commentators are disheartening and unacceptable.
But . . . but . . . I thought we were the worst fanbase in football.

Gosh I love this site.
Don't get this here highfalutin on eleven warriors I'll tell ya...
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
MSU fumbles into the endzone and recovers for a TD. Ugh
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
Tate Martel after halftime?
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
So I was a bit concerned that Zach Harrison was going to the OSU game this weekend rather than ours. Now?.....not so much.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
Should probably scheme a block for Willekes. Dunno why teams, including us, don't do that.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
Scott Frost team IS outhitting their opponent today!
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
Just for reference, Wisconsin and Ohio State games both started at noon. The B1G Channel game has 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, the Fox game is just coming out of halftime.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:09 PM ^
What the hell is happening to OSU?
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:15 PM ^
Urban Meyer Karma, bitches.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:10 PM ^
Ohio State. Heheheh.

November 3rd, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
And what the hell are they wearing?
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
Will Petrino even make it to the end of the season?
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
OSU has fallen off the damn cliff defensively. It's really astounding.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
I am chortling with glee after that Nebraska pick in the end zone. That shit was glorious.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
Haskins sucks under pressure.
Heh.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:14 PM ^
Picked off in the end zone. Lol. I should think twice before complaining about how bad other conferences are after watching this game..
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:14 PM ^
Picked off motherfuckers hahahahahahahah omg breaths ahahahahahahahahahahaha
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:14 PM ^
Remember all the OSU fans wishing for JT to sit down, leave early, etc...??? They didn't value him or know how good they had it.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:17 PM ^
They didn't realize how fundamental a rushing QB is to their offense.
Interestingly, I feel like UM fans are learning the same lesson with Shea this year
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:15 PM ^
Good news for the good guys, Gary is dressed today. Doesn't guarantee he plays but that's a start.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:16 PM ^
apparently he practiced all week. i think he plays today
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:17 PM ^
I would love it if he is dressed . . . but we don't need him.
November 3rd, 2018 at 2:18 PM ^
Huskers are just tearing it up the middle.
