A few things. 1. Not sure what you guys are so spry about. The only thing i was saying previously was OSU better bring their A game because PSU was not going to be a walk in the park. And I wasn't wrong in the slightest. OSU was down 14 within three minutes and trailed by two touchdowns the vast majority of the game.
2. I had a halloween party at a coworkwrs house last night and had to leave my house at halftime but kept up on the radio. Came home drunk and hit the bed to hunt this morning.
3. I understand a wins a win and it feels awesome to come back, but that struggle win is nothing to be proud of outside pulling one out of your ass. That was fucking atrocious. If you look at the game stats OSU should have been up by 20 yet it took two TDs in the last 3 minutes to pull out a squeaker. I pretty much knew OSU was going to win it after the first quarter if they could get their shit together. If you looked at the pass and rush yards OSU was always almost double PSU the entire game. They just lacked the ability to capitalize and finish. Nice to see they finally could pull their head out of their ass in the last three minutes.
Bud...you always talk about how they are overrated and this and that. Let the boys wave this one in your face a while.
Watching the highlights, it was good to see JT act like a leader and work that team. He showed some emotion for the first time in two years and it payed off. This is college ball, it runs on emotion and it showed.

If it wasn't for our special teams playing like a junior high team, this game would've been over in the 1st quarter. Our defense was out for blood and made the Penn State offense look scared. I really think if we play like we did last night, other than the special teams, we can be a top 4 team easy.

If theyre going to rub something in my face itll have to be something better than that shit show. Lol. Nothing the bucks accomplished last night was impressive besides pulling two TDs out of their ass with 4 minutes to go and winning by a point. Don't confuse a spectacular finish with spectacular football. Yes they won. Yes they put up some good yards. But talk about an absolute shit show of fundamentals. looking at the game stats theres no reason the bucks shouldn't have held PSU to under 14. But they blew that in the first three minutes. Simply because they pulled off a struggle win against a ranked opponent doesn't make them not over ranked. Have we forgotten about the attrition of the top 10 that even moved them back to the ranking they have? Haven't played one ranked opponent since Oklahoma. If it wasn't for being overranked coming in and and major upset losses from top 10 teams they'd be a lot lower. Number 25 iowa state beat #4 TCU last night 14 to 7. Does that mean iowa deserves to be in the top 5. Hardly.

You haven't read enough of my posts over the years on football then. I have no problems giving the buckeyes props when its due. Yes, even when they beat bama. And i have ZERO problems measuring bama with the same yardstick i do others. I even called it that they would lose to clemson last year and noted that clemson deserved it as they flat outplayed bama and had heart. Here. Let me show you.
I don't think bama has what it takes to beat Georgia. I think they lucked out this year with a shit strength of schedule and a down year for the SEC. Jalen Hurts is garbage and couldn't hit a dumptruck with the football at 20 yards. Some things impress me, we have a great RB and receiver, and the Defense is a monster like always. But we're lacking in the QB department pitifully ans that will cost us.
See. Nobody remembers when i say shit like that. Only when I'm picking on their precious buckeys. Lol. A week ago fans were demanding Urban tar and feather JT in the shoe and it would have been a sold out crowd. Now they want to give him a septor and red carpet for a 1 point squeaker. Lol.

I have seen it. You have bad mouthed Bama when they deserved it. Even on a squeeker win, you would admit they didn't deserve to win. That is true. So let me give an honest input on the Buckeyes.
OSU has improved steadily. They have a way to go. They are sloppy at times. Too many penalties. While receivers have improved, they need to continue to improve. O-line has come along. Needs to continue. D line needs to remain healthy. DB's need to continue to improve. Special teams? What in the world? Zero excuse for such inept special teams play. That is garbage. What we need in order to take our season further? We must steadily improve, reduce penalties, erect some special teams from ground up, and learn how to play four quarters. We need more than 5 minutes of digging down deep. A win is a win, but they allowed Penn State to stay in that game. They gave them a 14pt head start. That won't work going down the road towards the end of the season.

Me neither. It doesn't count for anything. Does nothing more than make people talk.
