Did not expect them to beat Illinois by 13 with 0 production from Sears. Figured they went as he went.

Possible. I think it’s more likely when citizens are told by the media the economy is great repeatedly, but they know that can’t afford shit anymore…the are like, f@ck you guys. You’re all liars. It’s why the legacy media is dying.

Understanding one vax might not be all it’s cracked up to be is not anti vax. You are part of the problem, imo.

I’m doubtful that we’ll be shopping for a new coach. While some feel that our boosters spending top 5 money puts pressure on MW to perform, I’ll fade that opinion and say the job pressure is now entirely off of him.

They spent so much money that it is assured he’ll be back. This team is making the NCAAs even if the wheels fall off.

One suggestion, guys. There is a wide range of possible outcomes at the 'shoe this weekend and Saturday's game, for me, is the toughest pick since the UCLA game. I know there's a temptation, particularly this week, to go with "my heart says [Score A] but my head says [Score B]." Your call as to whether to go with your head or your heart, but try to go with just one score prediction. Let's have some fun with this and see who among us is Nostradamus.

Here's my prediction:

IU 27
OSU 23

Go Hoosiers!

IU 21
OSU 17

OSU is putting a lot of pressure on themselves to win this game. "A must win"; "A loss and we're out", etc. Per Cig and players, it's just another game, with same process as usual. In my view, too much pressure for their QB to handle.

I respectfully disagree UTFO. I love IU, but Kentucky has a much better chance of getting back to the top of the mountain than IU.

Kentucky has shown they simply care more about basketball the last 2 1/2 decades than IU.

Hope Woodson and IU has a great year!

Coach Cig said Tyler Stephens held his own during the Michigan game & that the OL play was not up to par in general. He seemed happy though with Stephen's play overall. With the additional 2wks of practicing together, the OL will be ready for the bucks.

Question on the parking situation:
Coming in from the north side down 315, any recommended lots north of the stadium?
Somebody recommended a lot at CAS chemical plant for an easy 15 min walk along the Olentangy River?

Click to expand...

I would personally take 315 to Ackerman. You won’t be on Ackerman very long. To your left will be gameday parking. It’s a walk but it’s very easy to leave. You’ll walk past all of OSU’s sports facilities. When you get to the Schott, that will be Lane Ave. Bars and restaurants will be there. Gameday is usually set up outside French Fieldhouse. So when you’re on Lane, you’ll see the Riverwatch Ozone 97.1 the fan tailgate (beer trucks, bands etc) head directly south and you’ll run into French Fieldhouse and St, John arena. Big Noon will be set up on the south side of Ohio Stadium. (The open end).

Ballo is the best true center in the Big Ten by a wide margin, if they go by positions and not just the top 5 players. His only competition really is Ivisic for Illinois and Bittle for Oregon, but it's too early to tell. Dawson Garcia is probably the best player capable of playing center, and maybe Owen Freeman if he keeps this up, but Ballo is really the only proven true center right now.

But Mack probably has the best chance to make the All-B10 team because I think he can keep up this 20+ ppg pace.

IU 21
OSU 16

Defenses rule. One of our TDs is a pick-6.
