They did beat Minnesota by 20+ points the next time they played them that year. Not much consolation, but it was something. I remember that year starting out with not much personnel, but they also had many injuries.
Would like to compare that winning percentage across all sports to the percentage hit of money we made relative to the other schools in the league we were expected to compete against. It’s a miracle we won any games at all let alone 30% of them making literally millions if not tens of millions of dollars less from the conference. No wonder getting closer to full share now we are beating up the league in many sports including Men’s Soccer and Women’s Soccer, Lacrosse (and women’s lacrosse somewhat), field hockey, and more wins now coming from wrestling, gymnastics now, track and field .. let alone mens basketball’s rise

Even as we climb the ladder toward the top of the B1G in every sport, OSU continues to mock. In several sports, they continue to laugh at us as they now trail us.

We went from trailing them in every sport to passing them in basketball, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, women's rowing, baseball, and field hockey. Did I leave any sport out? I can't wait until we beat them in football. That will destroy their utopian world.

Yep. Winners win and losers find ways to lose. Pikes a winner always has been
