Being the coach of the local team at any institution, you're going to get a lot of heat. At Ohio State, Urban isn't free from the Twitter fingers — especially when you spot Penn State 14 points.

Intro

Prior to the bedlam that ensued Saturday night inside Ohio Stadium, the week leading up to the game had some brief noteworthy mentions. The intro is short because Urban's mentions this weekend were a nuclear dumpster fire and then a public display of affection and we need to get to as much of that as we can.

Congrats to the lucky couple that got married on the bye week. I'm not sure anybody would have made it had you had it Saturday, but enjoy your honeymoon!

YOUR FOLLOWING—FOLLOWER RATIO PERPETUALLY GARBAGE.

Ohio State would burn to the ground if Urban Meyer was ever up on the platform inside Bullwinkles, wearing the Urban pullover, khaki joggers and some black vans.

Things that should never happen no matter the concept:

Dwayne Haskins should not play quarterback again for Ohio State this year. Let his time come. 

You are my hero, Bill B.

And finally, happy Halloween Penn State.

Gameday — Things Got Weird, Wild and Victorious

I just want to thank the special teams and Urban Meyer for letting his team know to give up a touchdown to open the game and then have the Nittany Lions go up 14-zip.

Urban and I had some telekinesis before the game and he told me he was looking out for my #content. Nonetheless, it was a wild ride ladies and gentlemen, so strap in, or risk the whole "click it or ticket" thing if you're bad.

When Penn St. Was Winning & People Got irrational

Heisenberg isn't completely wrong here. I'd rather the Buckeyes just get what the kickers they have on scholarship are good at — kicking footballs very long distances in a straight line through goalposts and not on a line to a corner of the field.

If J.T. Barrett doesn't win the Heisman this year there needs to be no Heisman winner again ever — period.

Urban Meyer gets paid a lot of money to will his teams to win in big football games, Damon.

This is so completely unrealistic, but I'd low-key be okay with Jim Tressel being the ghost special teams coach for Ohio State. Just a consulting friend, giving us a little of his #QuietTime. 

Yeah, buttholes. 

After they did the thing and won the ballgame

But first

This is true — you cannot beat Urban Meyer on a bye week. It is actually impossible to do. Yeah, so they don't have games on bye weeks, but who's counting, actually?

Kiss The Ring

Ah yes, the "I overreacted after we lost to Oklahoma" tweet drawback. It's okay @mmenke14, come aboard the newly-dedicated S.S. Joe Thomas Barrett IV, there's plenty of room.

Get in while you can, Ian Wharton — the ship is sailing soon.

I just want to take a second to acknowledge first how good I feel that this guy will be getting to watch Buckeye games in the future. But second — wut? Can you imagine having a heart attack, having a 99% heart blockage repaired and then getting home at 3:30 for this game and living to tell the tale? Somebody give this guy a medal.

Rocky "We're Repeatedly Rose Bowl-relegated" Road.

Lastly, I am going to save you a lot of financial hurt. Do not ever allow Johnny Finan$e (@WallstreetCloza) to ever make a financial decision for you. 8/10 brand strategy though, Mr. Finan$e. 

And Because there had to be this guy

J.T. Barrett went 13/13 for 170 yards and three touchdowns in the fourth quarter because the game is fixed, apparently.

Nah, bud. 

Urban just sent his son out there and J.T. Barrett buried the Penn State defense in the north end zone where their souls and chances at a national championship will stay until Nov. 23, 2019 when Penn State next comes to Columbus.
