wasn't marshawns TD run over 20?
I agree I just get a kick out of what some buckeye fans truly believe, the realistic fans usually call them out pretty quick and actually make good pts in techs favor, overall osu fans are pretty cool people, most respect tech and think tech is a classy program.
The nice thing about other teams trying to implement the Bear against OSU during the year is seeing how OSU combated that defense and succeeded. So plenty of film on what Meyer may do in trying to combat the bear. However, I'm sure he has something new as does Bud.
saw some chick on espn the other day say how VT beat OSU with the double-eagle. I was like "Its the BEAR!! Jeez."
Several of us are going to be playing a game dubbed Random Beer Cooler. It works like this if you are interested: Buy two tall boys, one of something you enjoy drinking, one of something you would not enjoy so much. We put them all into a black garbage bag full of ice, and then you blindly pull one out and get to drink whatever it is. It can get intense.

Can I take this year's defensive line
plus Kam at Rover, DJ Parker at free safety,
Kendall and Brandon Flowers at corner
Hall, Adibi, and DeathBacker,
KyFuller as 12th man, who, because of who he is, is allowed on the field at all times?
Is that a thing? Am I disqualified?
Umm....we also play GT.....which tends to pitch it a lot and PJ has only beaten bud like three times or something
I think you've been watching that Emma Watson gif again.

Oh, and for the record. I'd go pork. Ham, pork chops, hot dogs, barbeque, bacon, pork roast, fatback for my pintos... yeah, I'm good.
That was such an excellent comment, 99AgHokie - I logged in just to respond.
A win is expected by Ohio State - and I'd say that a large portion of the Buckeye fan base will be severely disappointed by anything short of a double digit victory. I'd agree with you - if the team feels that way, that's a dangerous place to be.
Urban Meyer even touched on that kind of thinking in a presser earlier in the offseason. He mentioned that during the season after his 2nd national championship at Florida, sometimes winning the game didn't seem quite good enough in and of itself. They had to win big.
Meyer said he will do everything he can to keep that kind of mindset from creeping in with this team, however. That's one of the advantages there is in having a coach who's "been there - done that".
A lot have people have said the Buckeyes will need to guard against complacency this year - but I don't agree with that. I think they need to guard against feeling the pressure that comes with the expectation seemingly "everybody" has for them to win it all, again. Exactly the kind of pressure you describe -
Traded in my six-pack for a keg years ago.

cow. beef is so versatile
Chicken filled omelet?
I just have a problem with eating chicken and chicken eggs at the same time. Just seems indecent.
It's a genetically acquired Beamerism. Frank never exudes a lot of confidence, he's always a bit self-deprecating, always a bit "as long as we play as well as I know we can..."
One could say that he had "moxie":

and just because it's my favorite movie quote and it's slightly related (John Moxon):

Coach speak...or he saw the same thing I did in the footage of camp...no forward momentum at all...retreating to block on running plays does not work...
Holy shit I made them really mad. What am I going to do? This is exactly my response after reading the comments (I'm on lunch break now actually)

USCe
TCU
Auburn (but what's with all the hype??)
ASU
Bama
VT
The athleticism isn't really the issue though, is it? I mean, Lawson is not going to get any more athletic playing vs practicing. The point others have made is comparing true freshmen QBs to red-shirt freshman QBs. There are a lot of examples of red-shirt freshmen QBs who have led D1 teams to great things. There have been very few examples of true freshmen who have done so.
Put differently, there is no reason to suppose that Lawson will struggle more next year (assuming he is QB1 next year) if he red-shirts this year than if he plays a few series in garbage time. The difference between a true freshman and a red-shirt freshman is substantial; the difference between a red-shirt freshman and a true sophomore with 20 snaps against Furman is trivial.
It was a sad day when I realized Leonidas of Blacksburg had graduated
The video is already famous at 11W.
Most readers, it seems, can't bear to watch the whole thing.
