I remember when we all called for instant replay to be used in-game to make things more fair. And how many times have watched a reviewed play, over and over ad nauseam, and thought...well, this is obvious! They have to overturn it!

And then they don’t.

I just can’t imagine that the human factor—errors—will ever be elimination from sports. At least until robots start playing, and I hope I’m dead by then.

P.S. Fuck Dan Fouts, Kellen Winslow Jr., and the U. Forever.

I was having a bad day yesterday so I checked out mgoblog. Ahhhh...nothing like a refreshing cup of schadenfreude! The followers of the skunkweasels are beside themselves watching their players and coaches bail out day after day () while their leader hunkers down in his bunker in A2. One even had a story about how a family member was an employee at Olentangy Orange high school and observed underhanded tactics by Washington while he was recruiting Zach Harrison for the other side. Supposedly, Hairball took the high ground, telling Washington that this was acceptable only at places like Ohio State, whereupon Washington sent a signal to Ryan Day that he was looking for a job. Their delusions are limitless.

Uncle Nick’s on Northwest Boulevard in Grandview has some of the best chicken in Cbus (not an HCT fan only because I don’t like spicy)...and you can often see football players here enjoying the viands, too! I used to see Zeke there a lot.

I was only there for a few weeks and had to go downtown for a job interview (pre-Google maps, Internet, cell phones, etc.). Made it downtown, but got lost in the maze. Kept shouting out my window at passers-by, asking if they knew where the street was that I was looking for. No one did. Thanks for nothing.

We moved to Seattle in the summer of 1989. It was fantastic!

By January of 1990 I told Mr. Chick to get me the hell out of there. We lasted 6 more years, working at The Man’s airplane plantation, before surrendering and coming back to the midwest. When the Buckeyes came out to play UW, we got tickets, donned our Buckeye gear and went to the game. We didn’t even make it in before getting physically attacked by drunken frat boys. Had to call a cop.

Their fight song is Bow Down To Washington. Fuck them and their coffee.

You know how some countries have compulsory military service for a year or two for their young people? I’ve always thought we should have a compulsory year of customer service here. Foodservice, retail, whatever. It’s all the same...taking abuse for eight hours a day. You really have no idea until you’ve done it. I worked in food service to help pay for college, and it’s why I tip 20% almost every time. 

And it’s doubly hard for young women, who in addition to the usual bullshit everyone goes through, have to put up with random dickheads fondling, ogling, and making disgusting comments. I’m glad I had the experience, but damn glad I don’t have to do it anymore.

If you have a Twitter account, Don Tiberi put it up. @DOMTIBERI

Right. No matter what anyone says, so-called style points do count. If the win/loss record was all that counted, we’d be ranked higher than LSU. Beat TTUN, though...and it’s a whole ‘nother world.

To be fair, they lost early in the season (Virginia Tech, anyone?) and they have improved as the season progressed.

How wonderful to be such an example for others. You should consider writing a manual for “true” Buckeye fans.

Exactly what is your definition of a “true” Buckeye fan?

Kardiak Kidz version.

Just a down season, I guess. Been a while since we’ve had one. 

I hope Urbs does some soul-searching in the offseason.

Just curious...does anyone know if scalping will be a thing at basketball or football games now that the Athletic Dept is going to all-electronic tickets? I hope not; we used to get some great last-minute deals.

Last score was on a run. It's MSU's job to stop our run, not ours.

At least, that's what Chris Spielman said. Why don't you go tell him he's wrong? I'll wait.

Haskins running for the 2-point? Might as well let me try it.

I think you need to call up our head coach, who is on the record as saying we have "glaring" problems. Tell him he's Debbie Downer and he's too damned negative.

I hope that after the season he takes a week, goes to someplace warm with a nice beach and does some thinking about what happened and how he wants to go forward. I don’t blame him if he feels like the higher-ups at the university threw him under the bus, but if he hangs on to that anger it becomes bitterness and will hurt him, his family, and his team. Get it out of your system and let it go, ready for a fresh start in 2019,

And maybe revisit his views on what loyalty really looks like.

“Never hire friends or relatives.” THE golden rule of business, and the reason for it is on display this season. And I don’t know why Urban seems to think that firing an assistant coach is some sort of mortal sin.

By the way...does Saban hire friends and relatives? He hired Lane Kiffin, so I’m guessing no...

Idk...maybe because our head coach says we have “glaring” problems?

Absolutely. We are a collection of talented athletes...not a team.

I’d rathet have a team of 3 stars with heart, guts, and the will to win than a team of 5 stars that only care about not getting injured and their NFL draft status.

This is a group of talented athletes. Not a team.

Hubby has a high school friend who’s a Purdue grad and gets great season tickets every year (probably because no one else wants them). So I’ve been to a few Purdue games. West Lafayette is just Zanesville with a bigger high school stadium. One great memory, though...watching Purdue beat the Golden Domers when Charlie Weis, the super genius, was their coach. Weis was in the news at the time for suing his doctor because Weis gained weight after gastric bypass surgery. The signs hung on Purdue’s dorms were witty indeed.

And he can still come around and give advice if he wants to, right?
