M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

[Hannibal]

I was at that game too. Your memory is correct. He was buds with a former OSU RB and his son was on the Miami, OH team.

[lineygoblue]

I sent Paul a PM this morning. I'm waiting to hear back from him.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Talent mentioned our schedule next year. Here it is in full. Very unusual for both Penn State and MSU to be so early in the season.

9/3 Notre Dame
9/10 Arkansas State
9/17 Toledo
9/24 @ Michigan State
10/1 @ Penn State
10/8 Rutgers
10/15 Iowa
10/22 BYE
10/29 Indiana
11/5 @ Northwestern
11/12 Wisconsin
11/19 @ Maryland
11/26 Michigan

Yeah, in the years to come OSU always closes with at least 2 of them and, in some years, all 3. It's total bullshit.

It's also great that OSU gets Wisconsin and Iowa. That's just a brutal schedule. Probably lucky to get back to 10-2.

What sucks is you don't get to beat up on FROSTY!!!

[Dr. Strangelove]

What sucks is you don't get to beat up on FROSTY!!!

Starting next year most teams' cross-divisional "rival" changes for at least six years. You'll no longer be able to beat up on the likes of Coach Day. Now you must face HARBAUGH!!!

OSU v. Wisconsin
Michigan v. Nebraska
Michigan State v. Minnesota
Penn State v. Illinois
Indiana v. Purdue
Rutgers v. Iowa
Maryland v. Northwestern

[THE_WIZARD_]

I only hope we can find the kryptonite to defeat the mighty HARBAUGH!!!

[Buckeye Paul]

Losing to Michigan once every decade is way too often

[edindetroit]

I'm hoping it becomes an annual event.

[lineygoblue]

I'd be happy if we could just hold home field. Never let them win at Michigan Stadium.

Ever.

[Buckeye Paul]

Oh, the Buckeyes will be back. You can count on it. 😀

[lineygoblue]

I have no doubt. I just want our guys to be competitive, instead of being a doormat.

[iam416]

I don't want to fuck up the OSU-M game thread -- I've made a point to avoid posting OSU compaints in that thread. So, in response to Buchanan re OSU's downward spiral:

I'm just content to drink in the Ohio State is doomed talk.

And we all know HARBAUGH!!!! is a total ass so nothing that comes out of that program is a particular suprise including the shit talk after his one and only win in 7 season. For that matter, it's taken him 11 seaons to finally win an FBS conference title. To be fair, he did proclaim his 2018 team as Big Ten East Co-Champs. I rather doubt CRD does the same this season.

So, I'm not particularly inclined to throw out the baby with bathwater and just give up to the all mighty HARBAUGH!!!!!!! I'm not particularly inclined to think Ohio State is doomed and M is now dominant. I'd rather focus on the overall run of play. Now, perhaps that means I end up whistling past the graveyard like so many M fans did with Don Brown. But, before I cast CRD and the Ohio State program into the pits of hell, I'd like to see what does in response to shitty defense.

A far shittier M team scored 6 TDs in 2013 on an Ohio State team that was pretty damn good. Fortunately, Ohio State stopped a 2-pt conversion or else I would have surely heard about how washed up UFM was. That's the way of things, and I appreciate it. However, as you surely know, me filing away the great prognostications of doom and failure is also the way of the things.

[Mike]

Yeah..... Um, I'm just happy that we won and did so in convincing fashion. Pretty sure Ohio State isn't going to slip into an 8-4 program over this. There really isn't much else to read into this game other than Michigan whooped them on 11/27/21. And it was glorious.

[Mike]

Oh, it has now been 732 days since Ohio State beat Michigan in football.
