Guys this is really good, Buckeye weekly podcast
Gerdeman is taking questions from Buckeye fans about "The Game" and it's some of the funniest stuff I've ever heard.

Yeah I listened to this last night as well. A lot of hilarious and witty comments from pessimistic OSU fans. ("What should I drink while watching the game: beer, hard liquor, or bleach?") But also some good points about how OSU matches up well against Michigan's downhill running offense and Michigan's weakness with the short passing game.

OSU matches up well against Michigan's downhill running offense
OSU fans tend to forget that Bosa is gone and early season run D stats no longer count.
November 20th, 2018 at 2:28 PM ^
But can you make a diary post showing the difference pre and post-Bosa?
November 20th, 2018 at 2:50 PM ^
Sure - I've got that. The OSU defense, with and without Bosa chart
- When Bosa in lineup: Really, really good
- When Bosa out of lineup: Sucks balls

HE SAID A DIARY POST

Eh I get the sarcasm, but I'm not sure their defense was even that good with Bosa. 31 points to Oregon State and 28 or whatever points to TCU is not good
November 20th, 2018 at 8:48 PM ^
That TCU game looks a whoooooole lot different now than it did at the start of the season. TCU is going to finish 5-7.
I mean hell, Nebraska scored 31 in Columbus a few weeks ago.
November 20th, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
We have problems with "short passes" ?
November 20th, 2018 at 2:37 PM ^
We HAD problems with quick slants through SMU, then Don Brown put that shit on lockdown.
November 20th, 2018 at 2:55 PM ^
Ah. I thought they were referring to Shane & Co.
I'm ok if Haskins wants to dink slants on us for a while. It will eventually get painful for them.
November 20th, 2018 at 8:49 PM ^
And then Indiana found some new exploits.
November 20th, 2018 at 2:35 PM ^
Fan: "I'm going to drink before the game. Should I drink beer, liquor, or bleach?"
Host: "Yes"
<next question>

Only partially through this, but it's a good listen. Nice to hear Buckeye fans who are somewhat smart and self-deprecating instead of loutish. I liked this one @ 6:45:
"I've only been watching Ohio State football for one weekend. Can you explain what a 'stop' is on defense?"
"Yes, a 'stop' is when a defense allows up a touchdown in one play so that they can stop playing defense and then the ball goes back to the offense."
November 20th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
This was easily the best defensive strategy in NFL Blitz.
November 20th, 2018 at 3:10 PM ^
I liked at 16:00, when they're talking about holding things back for The Game
"How brilliant is Schiano for not unveiling the defense before The Game?...The big twist will be when Ohio State comes out against Michigan on Saturday and has a defense.
At this point the big Michigan wrinkle may be tackling, and discipline, being in the right place, filling the right gaps...ya know crazy stuff."
November 20th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
The O Zone has a countdown clock to The Game. Why don't we have that here?
Then I could stop looking at my watch and doing math.
November 20th, 2018 at 7:34 PM ^
Or meth, for that matter.
November 20th, 2018 at 3:11 PM ^
Gerd is supposed to be such a reasonable guy, but listening to the first few minutes of that he sure sounds like a rationalizing slappy.
November 20th, 2018 at 3:19 PM ^
If you could take one player from Michigan and put them on the Ohio State roster would you take Devin Bush or some other incorrect answer?
November 20th, 2018 at 4:22 PM ^
Thanks for posting. Five minutes in and it's better than advertised.
November 20th, 2018 at 6:16 PM ^
Michigan will have to score at least 40 points to win this game. OSU has talent and will put up points.
November 20th, 2018 at 8:36 PM ^
I’ll tell you what. I’ll give you two tix to the B1G Championship game if Michigan scores 40 or more and loses. What you got?
November 21st, 2018 at 12:11 AM ^
Do you ever get tired being so wrong about a team you supposedly root for?
November 21st, 2018 at 1:08 PM ^
Did they just call Michigan Defense trash? OMG- hearing that really made me do a double take. I want to hear these guys on Monday rationalize The Game.
