Ryan Day has a loaded roster. Yes this was a wake up call because your defense was yet again a liability in a big game. It’s ok to admit it’s a wake up call. Go take the bull by the horns and let’s prove to the country how good we are

I recall a similar situation (keyword is similar and not identical) when Marcus Hall was ejected in the 2013 game and his back up was this 3 star guy by the name of Pat Elflein and he made the most of his opportunity.
 

Zen didn’t look awful coming in cold off the bench against the #2 team in the nation. I really think he’s going to improve/impress

Hate ttun but never wish injuries to anyone! Praying for a quick recovery Hutch! 

A lot of us need to calm down! Yes the loss sucks but our season is far from over! 

1.  We rarely lose a big game mid season like this. It’s recently been against ttun or in the postseason and our season is usually over. We get the opportunity to redeem ourselves.
2.  12 team playoff format allows us to be able to drop a game. It still sucks we lost but we’re #4 and still control our own destiny.
3.  If we take care of our business, we will get a chance to redeem ourselves in Indianapolis. Losing this game sucks but in the grand scheme of things, it literally means nothing if we win out. 
4.  Burke and Simon played a bad game but I think it’s all correctable. Burke was put on an island and most of the defensive struggles were scheme related.
5.  We needed a chip on our shoulder/motivation. The media has been gushing about us all offseason and we needed a swift kick to the ass to play like we’re the best team in the nation.
6.  The bye week couldn’t have come at a better time. Injuries, scheme, etc all need worked on/corrected and having an extra week to marinate in the loss is bad news for Nebraska.
7.  If Penn State beats Wisconsin then the table is set for a top 5 matchup and a chance to prove to ourselves and the country that we’re very dangerous.
8.  Look around the rest of the country, nobody is dominating their schedule. Texas is still tbd as they have only beaten a bad ttun plus a bad Oklahoma. Oregon, we’ll see you in December!
9. This was a 2014 VT loss. It stings, hurts, and it’s embarrassing. But, this type of loss fuels a team and will make us damn near unstoppable moving forward.
10.  Despite the loss, we have a damn good team and we lost a tough one on the road against the now #2 team in the nation by 1 point. Revenge will be beautiful and we now have a chip on our shoulder. Watch the F out!! 

Bucks: 14

Simon and Burke: 12

Bucks: 7

My personal Columbus staples I would recommend:

•  Roosters for wings
•  Donatos for Pizza
•  Graeters for ice cream
•  Urban Meyer Pint House for sports bar
•  Thurmans for burgers
•  Schmidt House for German food
•  Hangover Easy for breakfast
•  Grandview Cafe for a lunch spot
•  Apollos Gyros for a late night snack
•  Out R Inn for a fun college bar (right by Donatos)

You win dude!

It’s been _____ days since xichigan beat us without cheating

Puck Feacock!

It’s ok I don’t need all that! I enjoy peeing in a trough inside a bathroom that resembles a steam room and paying $18 for a bath water warm domestic beer #peasantpricing

tcun fans heading into this season: “National Champs! Cope harder! Bet! 4 in a row incoming! Orji and Edwards for heisman! Connor Stallions did nothing wrong! NCAA is spineless! Johnson and Graham are top 5 picks!” 
 

tcun after Texas: “We’re replacing a record number of draft picks/starters. We’re starting a walk on! Texas is going to win the natty so it’s better to lose to Texas than to NIU! We beat the suckeyes so bad you guys had to spend 20 million dollars to finally beat us! We’re still a playoff team and still national champs! Ocryo state plays high school teams!”

This is what happens when you don’t recruit Oline. Can’t run the ball 

I think posters are just bitter that we keep missing out on elite OL talent

It would be an unbelievable win if we land Sanders but it doesn’t look great

Man we just can’t land elite OL talent lately…

This sucks because it’s not like we lost him to Georgia, Bama, Texas, etc…we lost him to freaking Georgia Tech!

Over 3 years tcun went from a middle of the pack B1G team to cheating their balls off for success and their fan base went from annoying to insufferable. I would rather talk to any sec teams fan base before the delusional douche bags from up north. Harbaugh had a sense of entitlement from day 1 and he still acts like he is a god. No, you pussied out in 2020 then had a “spirited practice” the day after. Then you cheated because you’re such an awful coach you were going to get fired because you had no other choice. Now all of their fan base acts like this douche bag
 

I pray that they get served a large slice of humble pie from the ncaa and I will be there to rub it in all of their faces

How will tcun fans respond:

•  cry more
•  bet
•  national champs
•  3 years in a row
•  NCAA is crooked
•  Buckeyes have been cheating for years  
•  Everybody does it

It’s becoming comical how Kirby has been silent about this. He’s a hell of a coach but really needs to get his guys in check. I like Kirby and respect what he’s done at Georgia but damn dude you have to get this under control 

Guys that need to step up:

•  Will Howard
•  Trey Henderson
•  Emeka Egbuka
•  Gee Scott
•  JTT
•  Hamilton 
•  Sonny Styles
•  CJ Hicks

These guys all have to step it up with finally getting a chance to show what they have and/or following a disappointing 2023 season. If all of these guys step up then watch out and I firmly believe all of the guys mentioned above will. 

I vote for handing those cheaters NOA right before the season starts. They think they’re going to sail into this season as reigning national champs until WHAMMY you lose all your wins for the last 3 seasons and SURPRISE you’re on bowl ban for 2 years lol Hearing Desmond cry and deflect on College Gameday all season would be delicious 

This is exactly something Gus Johnson will call him lol 

Early observations so far:

•  Offensive lines will not block past 1-2 Mississippi
•  Defenses are all terrible
•  Adjusting sliders are crucial or you will hate the game
•  The main menu music is beyond annoying  
•  Dynasty mode lacks simple fun things I used to look forward to (Cover of SI, Corso choosing headgear, playoff rankings, award leaders, etc)
•  The graphics are great but gameplay needs patched
•  It’s been over 10 years so it will only improve  
•  Whatever difficulty you were playing on in NCAA 14 drop down a level unless you adjust the sliders. They make it excruciating to have any success without adjusting the sliders
•  Recruiting is different. It’s very different and I’m not sure how I feel about it
•  It’s ridiculous you cannot edit a player to add in guys like JTT or Simmons
•  Kicking is very difficult no matter what difficulty you’re on
•  Studio updates and halftime updates need added
•  Unless your QB is 85+ speed don’t expect to be able to run much
•  They do add many great things OSU wise to the game (script Ohio, 7 nation army, Carmen Ohio, and playing of the victory bell)
•  Need to be able to edit head coaches and actually see them on the sidelines either arguing with officials or celebrating a big play
