I thought the would be 12, so about what I was expecting. I hope to beat them and survive the B1G East and then have Minnesota roll through the west with only a loss from Penn State.

I could only think of OSU losing to Illinois in 2007 because of Juice Williams. Whisky got juiced!

Good for her.

Well, now I hope we beat them and then Minnesota rolls through the B1G West so we can play them in the Championship . . . assuming we take care of business.

They better hold up their end of the bargain.

Yeah, I enjoyed that sign as well!

What I will never understand:

Shit = curse word

Poop, crap, dung, feces, excrement, etc. = not curse word

Ass = curse word

Butt, buttocks, rear end, heinie, derriere, etc. = not curse word

The most damaging thing Northwestern is equipped to hit Ohio State with is a rejection letter

Savage

Texas ranked at 15 with two losses is a joke.

If only LSU boosters hadn't stolen money from cancer patients to give to athletes' families. Then I could actually be happy for LSU's success.

I enjoyed looking through the TBDBITL comments on twitter. Art Decider has determined that the band's performance is art.

You can take a look and snag a picture with Ohio State's future prize at two different Columbus-area Walmarts on Friday, for those eager to admire its goldy goodness.

What's the over/under that a "superfan" will be there signing autographs?

Thanks guys. You are correct. I couldn't remember and tried to look it up and Elflien was the name I saw mentioned in the article. 

Also in reference to Chase Young:

Speaking of the best pass rusher in program history, there's a good chance we're going to see him matched up against a true freshman offensive tackle.

This reminds me of Pat Elflien having his 2nd start against Khalil Mack. Get ready for a show, boys!

Gotta agree with Iowabuck here. We were definitely not the underdog in that game. That was the year the county was trying to decide if Ohio State and Michigan needed to play each other again in the championship. The "SEC is King" line of thought really took off after that year because everyone thought the BIG was the best league and we got spanked by Florida which started the SEC's string of NCs and then Michigan only performed slightly better while getting well beaten by USC.

Regarding Chase Young. Thank your lucky stars, my fellow Buckeyes. It is a privilege to get to watch that young man suit up in our schools colors and watch him perform his craft. He is not long for the college life and soon will be embarrassing other millionaires on Sunday. Sometimes you need to just sit back and appreciate how good some of these players are at what they do. Thank you lucky stars, and then thank them again that our offensive line only lines up against him in practice.

The only thing that scares me is that this team is the most dominant that I can remember since the 2006 Troy Smith led Buckeyes. My point is that even great teams can flounder.

I mean, their band does always play the Imperial March. That's all the proof I need.

Let me ask what everyone is thinking:

WILL THIS LEAD TO A NEW EA SPORTS "NCAA FOOTBALL GAME" OR NOT?

In general, there is no need to remember non-starters who never accomplished anything on the team. I only remember him because I was excited about him as a player and was looking forward to seeing what he could do. Then, welp, this happened.

This dates me a little but when someone says Omaha, I think of this:

Good comment. Wasn't Henton the highly rated recruit that was kicked off the team for soliciting a cop pretending to be a prostitute?

There's the OSU QB who deserves Buckeye Nation's ire. Almost as shocking as what he did, is the thought that on OSU Campus an OSU quarterback had to pay for some action.

Who?   List names please.   

I don't have any names. Every year there are a couple of coaches that have a great year running a lower level Power 5 or Group of 5 team and they get added to the short list for every job opening in the country. I don't know who they will be until closer to the end of the season. My point is, Michigan has the money and the brand to land whoever "the next big thing" is. Not saying that whoever they get will suddenly bring Michigan a national title, just that, coaches will listen when a blue blood comes calling with a life-changing amount of cash.

Yeah, I enjoyed that one as well.

For the money that they are paying Harbaugh, they could easily get whomever this year's hottest young coach is. They would likely just have to give up on the whole "Xichigan Xan" thing.
