They are handling bucky the way we should have handled CMU
I hope we put up a fight at Michigan because tO$U is going to crush us
- Thread starter EricStratton-RushChairman
- Start date
And Ohio State looked very mediocre against a less than mediocre ND team to open the season. It’s college football. You may see a different team week to week.But, hey, at least we are a fan base that complains about wins. We Are….
And as we all know by now (or should, unless sports is new to you), that means virtually nothing. It's college football. Teams have great weeks, and off weeks.
So we’re already worrying and bitching about something that’s 5 weeks away while complaining about a win today? Got it.
And it’s something I read every year on this board yet every year it’s a competitive game.
It’s not going to take an elite level team to beat Minny and Ohio State is close most years. Last year PSU had Michigan beat and let it slip away. But, again, complain after a win.. it’s the PSU way.
You are probably from the same crowd that had Purdue and Auburn penciled in as losses also.
Wisconsin, the team that lost to Washington State at home?? Good analysis, Eric.
Numbnuts... you really think the dominating execution of this O$U team is because Bucky sucks? Did you say the same thing about us when we beat down Auburn? Oh ya, a team that lost at home to Tulane last week is beating OU in Norman late in the 4th. So, I do think it was astute analysis.
Incorrect, your previous statement was an opinion.
Not a fact until it happens….before that, speculaction.
Wait, wut? What does Kansas State beating Oklahoma, after losing at home to Tulane, have to do with OSU, PSU, Wisky or Washington St.? Oh, wait ... are you admitting that a team can look bad one week, and then very good the following week, so that your initial comment was bunk? No ****, Sherlock.
Also, what about this astute analysis from EricStratton-RushChairman, during the PSU-Purdue game, while PSU was losing "This team sucks." So, maybe you should keep bashing PSU, and flaunting your OSU-envy.
It would probably be in our best interest to forfeit the Ohio State game to give us the best chance going forward. Since we already know we’ll get crushed, we can at least take the L without risking any injuries. The voters will respect our decision and move us up in the polls knowing our team with be healthy and fresh after OSU week.
Just my opinion.... we as fans tend to compare the latest thing our team does to the latest thing a hated rival does, and base future assumptions on that. Yesterday's Ohio State would have stomped yesterday's Penn State, imo. But teams improve, they learn, they adjust, they work though untimely injuries, etc.
Bottom line for me, as an ~60 year college football aficionado.... a month from now, who knows?
That is my ***-toot analysis for this hour.

It doesn’t even take a month, a team is different game to game. Yes , if we played like we did yesterday and Ohio State ran the exact same routes as CMU, blocked exactly the same way, we ran the same defense every play that we did against CMU, then we would get crushed because OSU has way better athletes than CMU. But everything will be different, so what we did against CMU has no bearing to how we will do against OSU. Look at Marshall…beat ND then two weeks later lost to Troy….did Marshall suddenly get horrible in two weeks?
What a shocker!!!!....Meatchicken not only gets an interception that wasn't, but it doesn't even get a review! Even Mike Perriera said the ball hit the ground and he can't figure out why there was no review. Yo Mike, it's Michigan! Wait till USC gets in and realizes they joined the Big2, not the Big Ten...
We handle losses very well here.
I think (speculate/guess/wish) that if we can take the Michigan game, we also beat Minnesota the next week. Do that and we have a fighters (f*****s) chance against OSU. Even if we drop that one, we still have a shot at 11-1. Lose to Michigan and we may drop all 3.
Agree. If we are speculating, then I would speculate that last week’s version of Penn State would have stomped the week 1 Ohio State version. Of course, this scenario has zero merit but, I’ll play along.
The "We Told You So" contingent crawls out in force
Key is beating Minnesota - I think Michigan is 50/50 and we likely lose to OSU. Keep it to two losses and that’s a solid year with lots to build on.
So, to be clear, when we were 0-0, coming off a disappointing season, with tons of questions, and we were minutes away from losing our opener to Purdue, you saying "This team sucks" was "satire dipshit," but now you're serious about us getting curbstomped weeks from now, based on one win not being done winningly enough (or something), with another win being convincing? Or was this post "satire dipshit," too?
The “last four” (Indiana, md, Rutgers and MSU) look very manageable after that October gauntlet.
