Fans outside of NY or LA don't like or care about those teams, and they won't see any reason to casually look in.

Now...if there was an upstart taking on a Goliath, then there would probably be more interest.

Two heavyweights going at one another?

Boring.

Very boring.

Unless you live on the coasts, I guess.

If this ends up being NY vs. Dodgers, 90 percent of the country will yawn and change the channel.

If this ends up being a Subway Series, 99 percent of the country will yawn and change the channel.

I will take this OSU team to win against ANYBODY in college football on a neutral field.

Anybody.

Without hesitation.

Without question.

Three of his losses against TCUN will be (and should be) wiped out.

His loss against Georgia two years ago wouldn't have happened if Georgia had not been allowed to play dirty and take the best player on the field out with a filthy out-of-bounds hit.

If that hit is called accurately by the officials, Ohio State has a first and goal at the 1 yard line while already in the lead by double digits.

If that play doesn't happen, Georgia loses to Ohio State by more than 3 touchdowns. They couldn't cover MH at all during that game, and if he isn't hurt, they're still looking for a way to stop him.

The sad thing is that had that game not been fixed (or something very close), Day would already have one national title. We all know, without question, that OSU would have pummeled TCU in that title game, just as Georgia did.

People whining about Day simply are clueless about college football and how it works.

What a ridiculous take.

This game has come down to a couple plays by Oregon, one of which was a dead on fluke (the onside kick). The others were a WR beating a DB (badly) twice. That's talent beating talent on those two long pass plays. It has zero to do with coaching.

I don't think OSU played that last drive very smart. You have a 3rd and 1 with time running down. Just sneak the damn ball. Why hand off 2-3 yards deep in the backfield there? Especially after losing two of your OL. Ohio State needs to be smarter.

Love this description.

Well done.

You might add that their defense attorney is wearing a clown outfit, has a big red nose, and is moving around the courtroom on a unicycle -- and the judge is not amused.

Did I mention the attorney's name is Connor something?

Wow.

This is more intricate and involved than when Woodward and Bernstein were meeting Deep Throat.

So, of course, it must be true.

Comment 10 Oct 2024

What part of: it wouldn't matter so far as THEIR cheating and THEIR NCAA violations -- don't they understand? It's like that canard about Day's PI brother "illegally" obtaining evidence and, somehow, that illegal act would nullify all the violations they committed. It wasn't until people told them for the millionth time that the NCAA isn't a court of law and there's no such thing as "illegally obtained" evidence that they dropped this argument.

Is this just a seeking payback thing or do they seriously believe if it's shown Stalions helped OSU it would in, some way, help their cause?

I have a hard time believing anybody is that stupid...but Michigan fans and officials have proven me very wrong before.

Clearly, this man is delusional, or very bad at sizes.

I'm sure his wife is laughing right now...

Until...it won't.

Eventually, that stuff is completely erased from memory.
