  1. I had never heard of Portnoy till today. The previews are talking about him and I heard he got banned. My first thought was to think what an aggy thing to do. Then they mentioned Ohio State 's AD and I thought, oh now it makes sense.

  2. Ohio State folks are convinced that Julian and Arch are in the same boat since even though Sayin has no experience, he isn't having to face a hostile crowd. Arch already got a taste of loud crowd conditions against aggy, but more importantly he had to come in versus Georgia under really hostile conditions where Georgia was just teeing off on the QB at that point in the game. So no, it's not the same. One has just enough experience to draw from, and the other has none. And let's hope we can bank on it for a win on Saturday.

    Oh, I realized it's not a 'hot take'. But the majority of posters have us winning this game handily and I think they are smoking crack.   These are the same posters that will be wanting to fire someone if we end up losing. 

    I agree, no one here can answer if the OL will look calm and collected like last year's OL. At the Michigan game last year, even after a penalty, I knew we'd be fine because the OL just didn't look rattled at all, even when the Michigan crowd was loud at the start of the game. The other thing that no one here knows is if the transfer DTs will play with the same intensity and effectiveness we've seen from guys who've been in the program a couple years and been told they're not consistent enough to get more playing time, so they improved to get their chance. These transfers are getting a chance without that message drilled into them for a couple years.

    Long week ahead, folks. None of this will be known until the teams clash on the field. Anyone with real insight is either a coach or a player who's been around for two years, and they're not sharing with the public or the $9.95ers.

  4. Pate is the guy that listens to the spin coming out of each program and regurgitates it. So he provides a 50K view of how each program sees itself. As an example he can" t stop talking about how Sark told him this is the year. Since aggy's spin comes from Billy I can"t see why anyone would be surprised by his take on aggy.

  5. Just watched 4 TV analyst from Ohio say that this will be the best OL they have seen at Ohio State. One said that what will surprise everyone after the game is how dominant their OL was vs the Texas D. The other said that he had not seen one this good in the 14 years he has covered the team. Based on the numbers someone gave here earlier it makes me wonder what kool-aid is being served by the coaches.

    I'm sorry the joke went over your head. Also it's a constant beating on here the way some of Texas' worst losses are constantly brought up completely out of context. Did Hawaii's QB fumbling the ball and Stanford recovering for a TD remind you of Texas' CFP semifinal game against tOSU last season?

    Well unfortunately it is the worst losses that come to mind when one watches a team do something utterly stupid that reminds one of the same stupid shit our coach did to cause that huge loss. Ten plus years from now if we are still around when a team runs a sweep that get stuffed that cost them the game you will see some of the same posts that seem out of context.

    This game - this game in particular - reminds you of Texas and Nebraska playing to go to the national championship in 2001?

    Drinking? We were about to run it in and just take over the game and they decide to pass. Stanford is going in if they keep running and put the game away. Why pass, it cannot be answered that is the similarity.
