dokkenLast year the Big 10 was poor as well. Was it last year or year before the Big 10 got shellacked on New Years day?

WebFireJust got back from my friends' OSU/Michigan party. I went back and read some of the game posts, and some of you OSU fans are truly pathetic sore fucking losers. GO QQ yourself to sleep tonight.
As for "acting like you've been there", OSU stormed the field in 2009 when they beat the 3-9, yes 3 and fucking 9, Michigan Wolverines. GTFO. -
MoldyDogI'll take whatever positive I can. It took Denard Robinson 3 years to score against Ohio State. It took Braxton Miller 3 minutes to score against Michigan.
Go Bucks! -
mervOSU sucks. Miller can't throw worth a shit. Their defense is horrible. Goodluck at the Little Caesars bowl suckeyes. LOL!!

Don't forget this season was brought to you by the head honchos at tOSU Athletic department who just can't stop whipping themselves over some pocket change violations....spending over $1.2 million to self investigate and defend $9000 of NCAA 'improper' benefits. In doing so, it has become the poster child of how NOT to handle an NCAA investigation. Now that you've done all the work for the NCAA, are you done vacating things?...if you are, you can vacate your offices just as soon as you hire Urban Meyer.believer;988232 wrote:This was a fitting end to a largely craptacular season....well, ok, maybe not quite the end if the 6-6 Buckeyes accept an invitation to play in the Crap Care Bowl.
Still, this game was at least entertaining and a lot closer than I expected.
If this is the best Michigan can do to a down Ohio State squad in front of 100,000 (+) Michigan fans after losing 7 straight to the Buckeyes, no matter what bowl game the Weasels get invited to, it will likely be an embarrassing performance for the university and for the BIG.
Braxton Miller played a fine game, but showed his true freshman inexperience in a few key off-target passes. Can someone please teach this kid the art of throwing tight spirals? Just sayin'....
The defense, while decimated by injuries, has nevertheless been a complete joke the past few games.
For Ohio State it's time for Urban to stop dodging the obvious and get this team back on track.
Screw the NCAA and its stupid rule book. Screw the Tattooed 5 for setting themselves before the team. Screw Tressel for not being forthright. And screw Blue. -

It took the NCAA's inept rule book, 5 self-centered Buckeye players, and a head coach who wouldn't come clean to set-up your "victory" against the worst Ohio State team since 1988. Enjoy for now because Michigan - and every other BIG team to "earn" a bowl bid for that matter - will get slammed in their bowl game.

Yeah we already knew that before the game but yet it still took michigan playing at home against a true freshman QB who scored 34 pts on michigans "much improved defense" to the last 30 secs of the game before they could seal the deal.merv;988384 wrote:OSU sucks.

HitsRusMost of the pundits attribute the UM win to the inexperience of Miller vs the experience of Robinson....and to the head coaches as well. This could very well have been a 2 score win by the Buckeyes...Miller leaving 21 points on the field, missing wide open receivers that had broken loose behind the UM secondary.
Even though there was not much at stake, it always hurts to lose THE GAME. -

I think that was 2008. In 2009 I was at the OSU-UM game in AA, no one stormed the field and Michigan finished 5-7 in 2009. I have no problem with UM fans storming the field after 7 long years of not beating OSU, because it will probably be another 7 years after this season!WebFire;988351 wrote:Just got back from my friends' OSU/Michigan party.

I'll give Michigan their due, they did go 10-2 and they did beat Ohio State today. Not much else I can say except "wait for next year" and nobody likes to have to say that.HitsRus;988409 wrote:Most of the pundits attribute the UM win to the inexperience of Miller vs the experience of Robinson....and to the head coaches as well.

FatHobbitI didn't read through all of this, but the better team won today. Hats off to Michigan. They made big plays when they needed them and Hoke showed what UM is capable of when they have competent coaching. Good luck in your bowl game.
The Buckeyes played better than I expected and it was an entertaining game. Let's hope next year we learn how to consistently throw the ball on offense and tackle on defense. Not many teams give up 277 rushing and win. -

I've been told the Trustees did the interviewing, negotiating and job offering. The AD and his staff could not be trusted and therefore were not involved.HitsRus;988388 wrote:Don't forget this season was brought to you by the head honchos at tOSU Athletic department who just can't stop whipping themselves over some pocket change violations....spending over $1.2 million to self investigate and defend $9000 of NCAA 'improper' benefits.

I was afraid it would be. I never imagined we'd throw the ball like that. (It did leave a lot to be desired, but we certainly had an aggressive game plan and put some points on the board.)WebFire;988504 wrote:Anyone who thought this would be a blowout is an idiot. -

I'd be pissed if I was an OSU fan. If Bollman would have called a game like this the rest of the year, they may not be 6-6.FatHobbit;988510 wrote:I was afraid it would be.

Terrible season. Terrible job by all of the coaches from day 1. Way too much talent on this team to go 6-6. But at least they're bowl eligible. Another month of practice couldn't hurt.
Also, Brady Hoke is a douche.
No, Hoke is a major band wagoner. He was born and raised in Dayton. He admits the only reason he became a Michigan fan was to be different and piss off his family and friends who were all Ohio State fans. People like that are weird. Hokey is WEIRD. -

Stanley Jackson on 610 was LIVID. Basically todays gameplan is one that Jackson and Earle Bruce literaly drew up on Bucksline after the MSU loss and have been reiterating it since. -
