Pretty good to beat Okie Lite after trying really hard to give the game to them.

A lot of dumb mistakes this week, not the least of which were on the coaching side of things. Like usual, when we had the lead and some padding late, our offense just completely vanished in an attempt to run clock. It could have given OSU a good chance to win the game if Sam hadn't scampered for that final first down.

Our secondary is only going to get worse as we lost two starters and a backup to injuries last night. The starters are getting MRIs today to see how bad it is, but pretty much our only hope of not having the worst secondary in college football is that the coaching staff has been making horrible personnel decisions and the backups are better than the starters. (On that note, we did have a true freshman DB pressed into service who made two clutch plays late in the game.)

Jalen Hurts is going to throw for 9 TDs on us

So on the drive where everyone claimed that Notre Dame had a player fake an injury... a totally different player started to go down until he realized someone else was going down. I'm not really bent out of shape about it because I would rather a hurt player feel like they can go down, but :lol: if this doesn't seem blatant.

I don't think there's a good way to stop this without risking safety.

I don't think it helps the defense all that much anyway.

Sure it does. It kills offensive momentum and gives the defense rest.

I dunno man I haven't tracked it or anything but it feels like the team that's getting its rear end whipped by the offense often just goes right back to getting their rear end whipped by the offense once play resumes.

I'll be honest, it looks like this is not a fake. #6 was limping around, #11 saw it and was yelling "get down, get down" or something like that and went to tackle him. #20 was walking off the field and heard whatever was being yelled and ducked because he had no idea what was going on.

He is walking pretty wonky.

That dude should not be dragging him down by the shoulders if he thinks he's injured.

LSU did that a lot - it did not help them.

Counterpoint, Texas did not do that - so maybe they should have at least tried.

We did, against Oklahoma State.

It did not help.

I thought that watching the game but I’m not so sure, we’ve got 4 of those guys out for several weeks apparently.

Oh, someone in the GDT said one of them looked very signaled, but then everyone thinks every injury is a dive now.

What recruiting advantages does OSU have over Michigan other than being better at football? Ohio and Michigan are functionally the exact same same state with the exact same issue no matter how one team spins it. Urbz could recruit a few extra florida players, I guess.

For some reason I always thought Ann Arbor was actually on the lake and thus way better to live in than Columbus.

But no, I just looked it up and it's a bombed-out post-industrial shithole just like Columbus.

You, personally, are killing us all. Everyone else just sleeps with the windows open, but this one choice made by one person is dooming the entire planet.

I can't actually find what the tweet was but the Busch Light Sign Guy got milkshake duck'd by the Des Moines Register and had to issue an apology for some lovely racist tweets he made when he was 16, and now Anheuser Busch is cutting ties with him. They're still gonna make the donation to the hospital (total is over a million now) but I assume the special beer can and stuff are done now.

So has any other school in recent years done what Holgerson is doing right now and redshirted multiple seniors just to take a mulligan on the year?

Blazing new trails I think.

I'd love to see him explain it to a recruit
