Well done, good sir. May I assist your superb effort?

Oh, and btw, Fuk tcun too. Or again. And again... and again... and

Would people rather see the Buckeyes blown out in loses? Of course not. So I don't get this line of reasoning.

Losing close games means a sub-par effort (and yesterday's effort by the Buckeyes was well below par) still affords an opportunity at the end of the game to win. If you keep your team in the game until the finish with an opportunity to win, the only thing better is to have the win sewn up by that point.

We should give Oregon some credit too. They played well and executed when needed.

There's a lot of shit to fix now. My verdict on Day and Co will be how they respond hereafter, not another close loss that might have been a W in the final seconds against a top-ranked opponent in a tough environment.

The entire DB unit was exploited yesterday. This miserable performance is on the D scheme, prep and position coaches. And yes, it likely cost Burke million$.

Hopefully he and the rest of the unit / coaches can figure out what the hell went wrong and fix it. Not optimistic on this issue but what the hell do I know.

In all seriousness, hope all have fun and bring us back a very large "W". Enjoy!

I just want closure on this scandal but these threads have become my guilty pleasure. 

... just wanted to see how it looks quoting Boof Bonser, quoting Boof Bonser.

Thanks for your indulgence.

ouch...

If these boards had background music, Mgo would be looping continuously the ominous tune from Jaws.

For those of you tcun fans reading here, hi. You're gonna need a bigger boat. Oh wait. You're not in a boat, just floaties. So never mind. Relax enjoy the water and the music. Life is short.

Well, Sharon is the fall guy for the failures.

Does this mean "a Sharon" is the opposite of "a Karen"? Can we make it so? Or do I need to speak with a manager moderator?

It's one day. Be contrite. Done and dusted. Start anew. Right?

May I just add please,

...And the Stalions they rode in and out!

What a scumbag. Makes sense though. Stalions will be a scum hero for decades.

Comment 08 Oct 2024

One of you fine 11W writers recently said a Buckeye 10-for-10 now is called a "Tate Martell". Right?

I'm fine seeing Howard's two tatemartells being called a 'double tate'. But if our man pitches a triple tatemartell, maybe it deserves being dubbed a, "WillHow".

And damn, I do love a fast QB start {...side glance back towards 2023}.

A parody of a scene from Shaun of the Dead?

Everyone's standing at the arcade waiting with their Fuck tcun guns loaded and cocked.

What? He seems like a delightful person. Simply shocked tcun didn't find a promotion for the guy.

Comment 08 Oct 2024

Yeah, seems like a full day of lost prep for travel could be impactful. But...

There simply isn't enough data yet on the B1G travel to speculate intelligently about the impact of cross country travel on outcomes. When has a lack of statistically significant data slowed down speculation about sports outcomes?  If Wilner, who was interested enough to write the article, really wanted to bottom this out, he easily could have looked at previous years of long distance travel across different conferences and non-conference play. That would take some effort though.

Easier just to speculate.

Dude. Simulated brandishing of a box fan installation is an automatic ban. Careful.

A couple times I sat for 10 minutes or refreshing the Forum page in order to nail down Pole Position Instructions. Today I just missed your perfect start by 41 seconds.

Always happy to trot out The Stalions Directive though. A fine consolation prize...

Howard's talented and physically gifted but he ain't no all-American RB like Trey or The Mighty Quin could be by year end. Would like to see us use called Howard runs v. selectively to keep the D honest. Of course, in emergencies too. Nothing more.

If you run the ball, run the best!
