Could be the stupidest thing posted here, ever.
And you're so effing stupid you quoted me twice
I hope we put up a fight at Michigan because tO$U is going to crush us

And you're so effing stupid you quoted me twice
but we should call it "opting out" to make it sound better, just as players "opt out" of bowl games to prepare for the NFL we could "opt out" of the Ohio State game to "prepare for the remainder of the schedule"
its classier sounding and doesn't make it sound like we're a bunch of pussies
Good idea. Then we can boast that we held the almighty Buckeyes to their lowest point total of the season.
I really believe that the time to upset a top 5 team - like Alabama, Georgia, OSU, and maybe Clemson - is very early in the year before they really get rolling. OSU seems to be getting better every week but it's their defense that's catching my eye. They just seem to have things figured out better this year.
But, with that said, I truly believe we have a very solid shot at beating Minny and Michigan. OSU ? Possibly since it's at PSU and if you ask any OSU fan, they hate playing here.
I have been stressed as have a wedding day of osu game, but so glad opened this thread and now know no need to watch. You da man!
tOSU is really talented, for sure. I think we are even with Michigan overall and have a better shot at defeating them than tOSU. I think beating the Buckeyes is possible, but it will take super human effort by our best players. Minnesota will also be a difficult opponent, but we have them at our white out. I don’t think we need any style points. If we make it through our season with just one loss, it would be tough to leave us out of the CFP. Of course, I want to beat tOSU,
I will never understand people who insist on being negative. We have a choice in life to be positive or negative. I will never understand those who choose negativity.
And spare me with the “I’m a realist” BS. Fact is, none of us are able to see the future, so none of these thoughts are based on reality. Just a choice, to be negative

No dude you are stating an opinion. You just don’t understand the difference.
We are so blessed and would like to thank the conference commissioner for the opporutnity to even play football, but we've decided to reopen our schedule for October 29.
RESPECT OUR DECISION!
UGa must suck too. Kent state says hi to this nonsense. Psssst, most know tOSU is good, but you rub those sticks together and reinvent fire.
We’re reacting to the subject line. Here’s how I’d rephrase it: “Wow, Ohio State looks great, incredibly strong, fast, and deep. They’re crushing Wisconsin.”
Here's what I read......people who apparently watch the sport and still get up and down over one result are a bit slow on the take....JMO there. Yes tOSU is great and everyone with a pulse knows this already. PSU is a decent team currently that still has some holes, but they can play with most teams on most days. Wisconsin is just an average team to date this year and tOSU took them out easily, but PSU > Wiscy IMO. UGA struggled against Kent state as it was 32-22 was minutes left in that game, so from that one result I should conclude tOSU would kill UGa? I wouldn't but using flawed logic I could see how people make that jump.
Get to 5-0 this week hopefully healthy. Get to the bye week and improve and see what happens as the next 3 games after that bye will pretty much dictate this season. You could almost predict a bit of a letdown this week as the kids were so on point the week prior.....and this happens EVERYWHERE in college football from time to time. No matter the school, most teams have down games. We've seen UGa, Clemson, tOSU, and even Bama once in a while just have games where they are on cruise control it seems.
I wonder the same thing when I read your posts in the USMNT thread…
Yep, and didn't Urban say that they hated playing at PSU a few years ago when he was still coaching OSU?
We were rotating in bench players by the end of the 1st quarter - if we wanted to we could have put up 50+. The experience our backup players are getting will be WHY we are competitive against tOSU, scUM, and Minny
Pretty fair point. This staff has made it a point to rotate younger guys in early and not just when they are up big.
Touche!
But I do feel like it is a different thing here. The critique I have here is that there is really nothing in this years team, to talk as if it is fact that we will get blown out by Ohio State. It is a prediction rooted in pessimism.
My problem with Berhalter is that he is so tied to his system, that he is willing to lose rather than deviate from it. The market place has spoken, John Brooks and Cameron Carter-Vickers are better players than Walker Zimmerman and Aaron Long and neither of them have done anything worhty of preserving their spot. Berhalter would rather play lesser defenders because they fit his "system and I have a problem with that.
Further, you have Jordan Pefok who was the top scorer in the Swiss League last year and now has 3 goals and multiple assists in the Bundesliga in 6 games. Does Berhalter pick Pefok for the latest team? No, he picks Ricardo Pepe who as a striker, hasn't scored in 345 days for club or country. Pepe, who was so bad in the Bundesliga he was quickly dispatched to Holland.
We have a team, that again, if you take who they are playing for and how much they are worth in the market place, is the most talented USA team we have ever had. At least as individual parts. And yet, somehow, we finish BEHIND Canada in the concacaf, which is unheard of. This Canadian team is certainly talented, but is nothing compared to the USA.
Finally I have such a problem with the boring tactics deployed by Berhalter. The limp dicked backpassing and reluctance to move forward.
This is not to say I think we will get destroyed by England in the world cup. I have so much hope that we can pull it off and I think we have a tendency to play well in the biggest stages. But I think Berhalter has held us back and I feel like I have concrete reasons why.

I agree with the general malaise here. We suck. What scares me most about Michigan is they win halves. Like in 2020, 2019, 2017, 2013, 2010, 2009, and 2008. They won halves in those games! Just sheer dominance and something to be worried about. Chills me to the bone.
Wut? Of course I tied the two posts together. In both places you were being a negative biznatch. In the one place where you were more reasonable in being negative (looked like we were going to lose the first game after a bad season the previous year), you now claim that was "satire" ... and now you're proclaiming doom weeks out based on some stupid **** like "they beat another team handily, and we didn't beat another team by enough."
Hopefully this one is "satire," or at least you'll fake it and call it that after the OSU game.
Probably one of those insufferable know it alls that people can’t bear to be around.
If I heard it here, then you're probably right ... or maybe I talk to myself; then you're correct in that case too.
Meh. We'll probably be a 10-15 pt underdog. We've already seen a number of 14+pt dogs win, or come really close (UT could have beat Bama with Ewers) this season. Way crazier things have happened.
Put the shovel down chief, you're backing up stupid shiit with stupider shiit. Give it a rest
+7 at Michigan and -4.5 vs Minny at this very moment based on my own power ratings. No handicapping.
Don’t forget that officiating crew adjustment of at least a TD that Vegas will add!
Not if we can convert a few 4th down conversions in the first quarter in our own side of the 50. Maybe recover a few surprise onside kickoffs.
Scooby, you got busted double-dipping into being a whiny sourpuss b!tch, and that's all you have?
Yeah, I know the feeling I have a wedding to attend for the Michigan game.
