OT: Ohio State to wear 2014 CFP uniforms vs Michigan
https://twitter.com/AndrewMLind/status/1062510602327736321
At least they’re wearing somewhat traditional uniforms for The Game this year?
November 14th, 2018 at 11:52 AM ^
They did mention in the comments that osu is undefeated when wearing alternate unis vs U-M.
November 14th, 2018 at 12:29 PM ^
For all I care they can wear ass-less leather chaps and pink and green bandanas, I just want us to win the game. Their choice of jersey will not matter.
November 14th, 2018 at 1:03 PM ^
"For all I care they can wear ass-less leather chaps..."
November 14th, 2018 at 12:33 PM ^
As long as they keep winning, they’ll keep wearing alternates
November 14th, 2018 at 9:54 AM ^
Haskins jersey will be very dirty by the end of the game.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:57 AM ^
Man I hope we absolutely wreck Haskins this year.
- Payback for last year's game
- To shut up all the talk about Haskins and OSU's passing game
Let the nation's best pass defense unleash hell!
November 14th, 2018 at 9:59 AM ^
Well with turf, not really.
But it will have so many rubber pellets in it and they will be extremely hard to clean up once he takes his jersey off inside!!
November 14th, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
He will have so much rubber on him he could be mistaken for a flat tire.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:00 AM ^
They have field turf, do they not?
(I get what ya mean, though -- let's hope that his jersey is in tatters)
November 14th, 2018 at 10:39 AM ^
He’ll be dirty from shitting his pants with Chase, Gary and Uche destroying him every play.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:59 AM ^
Against the Michigan Defense led by Don Brown, never trust a fart!
November 15th, 2018 at 8:17 AM ^
Wish my up-vote feature worked... many deserving posts in here. Nice work fellas!
November 14th, 2018 at 9:58 AM ^
Good, those are good.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:01 AM ^
They are wearing 4 year old jerseys? Who will be wearing Cardale Jones jersey?
Weird to not just wear new uniforms. Someone washed these old jerseys right?
/s
November 14th, 2018 at 10:01 AM ^
Better than what they wore last weekend. Or was that the weekend before?
My girlfriend is big on color coordination and materials aesthetics, and between ND and OSU, she was pretty mad at college football...
November 14th, 2018 at 10:16 AM ^
It must be annoying as hell to have her dress you everyday. A person with that mindset would never let you walk out of the house without the proper supervision.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:31 AM ^
You have it exactly backwards. Mrs. Hatter is like that. I never have to wash, iron, or pick out my own clothes. It's awesome.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:38 AM ^
Totally agree, Hatter. I am fine at picking which of my many, many Michigan t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, shorts, even sneakers to wear. Anything beyond that, I leave to Mrs. Michgoblue, who really enjoys that type of thing (and is better than I am at it). It's pretty awesome, actually - I literally never have to think about anything related to laundry / clothing.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:26 AM ^
It's one of the main perks of being married as far as I'm concerned.
November 14th, 2018 at 5:34 PM ^
I have no idea how to operate our washer and dryer.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:07 AM ^
She's done a pretty good job making sure that I wear colors that go well with my skin tone (I'm really really white) and getting rid of some of the more cringeworthy things that were in my closet.
I'd much rather have a girlfriend that actively tries to improve my style than one who leaves me because I'm ugly and wear mismatched clothes...
November 14th, 2018 at 1:20 PM ^
My wife can barely dress herself. If she didn't primarily work from home, she would be screwed. I didn't realize how big of an issue it is for some people to get dressed properly.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
Good. They won't get to wear one for playoffs. They have to use it up before the season ends.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
It's annoying ohio state keeps wearing alternates for the game. How many times have they worn their normal uniforms in the last 5-10 years? Feels like it's been only a few times
November 14th, 2018 at 10:18 AM ^
These ones hardly feel like alternates at least.
Just like if Michigan wore alternates that mirrored the 1997 away uniforms. Are these really alternates?
In both cases you turn on the TV and know exactly what 2 teams are playing. Much better than what we have seen from OSU in the past for The Game.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
Everyone thinks those are little buckeye stickers on their helmets, but if you look closely . . .
November 14th, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
See, I played your game. I clicked the link, and the twitters told me that they were commemorating the 50th anniversary of their 68 title. Are those uniforms the same as their 2014 CFP unis?
Thread title and link content dissonance has be confused.
*looks overhead to see if he's missing something*
November 14th, 2018 at 10:07 AM ^
Good for them. Whatever they need to do to gain some 'edge', they better friggen do it. But it won't be enough. They've been systematically bad on defense, and that won't change in two weeks. I don't care if Haskins' passing leads the nation or if they run for 200 yards this week. They're a pass reliant offense that cannot manhandle teams at the LoS.
OSU is going to get rolled like Quaker Oats on Nov 24. They might score 20, but they're giving up 40-some...
November 14th, 2018 at 10:20 AM ^
I don't want to get my hopes up for a blowout. I get the feeling, they will get an early lead and attempt to sit on it like they have done in the past. The difference is they may actually have the running game to pull it off this time.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:45 AM ^
So who is the "they" you are referring to? I'm going to assume you mean Michigan will get an early lead, and has the run game to preserve the win.
But I say you're wrong on one point - Harbaugh will not sit on a lead in this game. He will continue to run his offense to the best of its ability, and will not care about 'running it up'. He may bring in the 2nd string if it gets to a 28 point lead, but will continue trying to score. There will be nothing left to chance in this one...
November 14th, 2018 at 11:05 AM ^
I keep hearing how Ohio State Man handled MSU and beat them by more than us. They scored 17 offensive points in that game. 17. They beat Nebraska by 5 points. PURDUE LITERALLY BLEW THEM OUT! "but but but Iowa did too and we were goods ats the footballs still".
Maryland is going to give them a game. Most likely, Ohio State will run away in the fourth, but Maryland is going to give them a game.
We are going to blow this team out. Ohio State is a dumpster fire this year. They are not better than us.
I keep hearing how we have not faced a QB as good as Haskins. They have more talent then us, we haven't won in the "shoe" in X amount of years.
You know what? Let them wear their little red Christmas sweaters, because we are going to roll this Ohio ass team. 37-14 on the low end. 42-7 on the high end.
We are better in every single category. We will win big.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:08 AM ^
Wow. I know you may just call me a "concern troll," and I may very well be in some cases, but I don't think "second string" considerations are going to come into play here. I like Michigan to win the game, but I think there are going to be more pressing matters that day than whether Harbaugh will "run it up." Ohio State is struggling but they don't suck.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:33 AM ^
Their defense sucks. And they can't run the ball. I don't remember an OSU team like that in the last 25 years.
We're going to win this game. And look damn good doing it.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:57 AM ^
All of that may be true but I still don't think Harbaugh is going to have to worry about when he should sub in the "second string" during the game. That is kind of ridiculous.
November 14th, 2018 at 12:43 PM ^
Yeah that's stupid. I think the starters stay in even if we're up by 50.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:58 AM ^
No hopes/expectations here. Frankly, I think we *need* to score first, keep them reeling, then pull away (if time has not run out). Metellus needs an INT. Karan needs the spirit of Biakabatuka. As much as JH will have this team perfectly prepared a lot of stuff will need to go right. In The Game the better team does not always win. That's been the case since 1969 (at least).
November 14th, 2018 at 10:10 AM ^
We're going to beat those shit birds and some championship uniforms aren't going to change that.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:11 AM ^
So is this their way of thanking us for winning them the NC?
November 14th, 2018 at 10:13 AM ^
Note to OSU - you don't want to look too flashy when you're getting pounded. Might want to stay low-key for this one.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:15 AM ^
I really wish we'd do what USC-UCLA does, and both wear home jerseys.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:21 AM ^
Can't be said enough. It would look GREAT on TV.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:39 AM ^
YES. Give me Red vs. Blue!
November 14th, 2018 at 10:41 AM ^
I never thought about that, but yes, that would be really awesome.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:54 AM ^
It would look cool for sure. Just wonder if there would be enough contrast - UCLA's blue is pretty light so that works.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:15 AM ^
They were fine when they wore that light gray against PSU's all-white uniforms last year. I think there would be plenty of contrast between the red and blue.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:17 AM ^
As long as we see red, we're good.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:17 AM ^
well at least they'll have one thing right for the game.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:17 AM ^
I think this is the uniform in question.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:24 AM ^
#USFL uniform
November 14th, 2018 at 10:19 AM ^
Both teams should wear home unis for The Game. Would look great on the tube.
