super star running back Jordan Hall is back... does this mean pound the Buckeyes?Comment -
revenge? Miami don't care about Ohio State they haven't had a relevant football team since 2003Comment -
Ohio State +3. The rest of the offense is going to rally behind Miller and Hall. Their mere presence will make the rest of the offense much better. If this team goes 5-0, you can expect something similar when the rest of the team comes back against Nebraska.Comment -
and Miami had a week to get rusty last weekComment -
I would make a small play on this game in Miami's favor.......Bauserman will face some big time pressure and make some mistakes...Our special teams worry me alot this year...Look for Miami to get a big play from special teams....Harris for Miami is a turnover machine....If he struggles, that just might keep the buckeyes in the game....Miami has alot to prove, and will be playing the revenge card.No way would I call Jordan Hall a superstar rb...I look for Braxton Miller to play in this game...I think we'll see Bauserman struggle with getting away from the pressure...Braxton seams to be alot more mobile..This is truely speculation on my part...Final score Miami 27 OSU 13Comment -
Oh St defensive end Nathan Williams underwent knee surgery and is out this week. That is a significant loss, he and Simon are their top two defenders IMO.Comment -
I definitely will not say that fickell is better than tressel, but I can guarantee that he is a more fiery type of guy. Kids love that type of coach. Plus, fickell will open up the playbook and not be so conservative.
Two things about the Toledo game. First Toledo is a great team and should run the MAC. Second, the game really wasnt as close as the score. Take out costly mistakes from both sides and buckeyes are clearly better (as they should be). Miller isn't ready. OSU is playing the lesser of two evils at qb.Comment -
Whelp, clearly a shortage of OSU homers here, surprised tbh
Agreed Larry, no question the Toledo game wasnt as close as the score
Total Yards
Toledo 338
OSU 301
Penalties
Toledo 14-102
OSU 2-13
Then the Toledo coach made the tactically brilliant decision to attempt a 50 yard FG with a weak kicker already up 1 point that was blocked and led to OSU's ONLY POINTS OF THE 2ND HALF, instead of punting and putting it on the 5 yard line.
Then OSU wanted to add some drama so they allowed Toledo to drive to the 17 yard line down 5 points with 1 minute left for shits and kicks.
Wire to wire domination by tOSU, sirs we are agreed here

Haha, never said business as usual, but what about Miami?? New coach? Death Penalty??
Oh yea and lets forget Ohio State still has Jim Heacock as defensive coordinator and Jim Bollman as Offensive coordinator. For some reason they sound familiar.
Luke Fickell has been with OSU for a while, played for Ohio State. Call it what you want, but do not insult my intelligence by saying this. Look at Miami.
Ohio State will not collapse, as Jim Tressel and Pryor are not and were not the only reason we won.
Please pound Miami, I beg you as you will find out that you are on the wrong side.Comment -
How did the line drop to +2.5 OSU? I thought everyone was unloading on Miami?
Comment -
OSU will win, hence the lackluster performance against Toledo.Comment -
I saw Miami +2 as the opening line.......significant line movement.......Ohio State almost got beat by a mediocre team...watch what happens Friday night against Boise............the sgnificant fact is that Miami is getting their starting defense back......much more impotant the Jacoury Harris playing.......be very carefull outing money on the Buceyes in this situation..........Comment -
two cheaters playin... shouldnt touch this but osu gots bigger moneyComment -
if you ain't cheatin ... you ain't tryin... GO BUCKSComment -
and by the Buckeyes cheating.... they got tattoos in exchange for autographs how is that cheating. The NCAA is lame. I hate the NCAA and their stupid rules but I enjoy watching college games b/c they are exciting.
and what did the Hurricanes do all they got was strippers, cocaine, money etc... it's not like they were stealing playbooks or putting exlax in the other teams gatorade coolerComment -
EXACTLY! I think the NCAA needs to get a fargin' life. First of all, athletes private property (including autographs) should be allowed to be bartered for consumable goods up to a certain $$ amount IMO. I wish the NCAA would get a stick out of their ass about this type of crap. It isn't like the players were given cars by boosters or the other teams locker rooms were being wiretapped or anything.Comment -
First, I want to say that I agree with you on what the rules should be. I think CFB players should be able to receive money from boosters AFTER enrollment. I honestly believe the NCAA should pay them weekly or the like. People always say "They get a free education, that should be enough." But a science major who gets a full ride is not prohibited from working internships or selling works, even though they aren't putting their bodies and futures on the line for the school week in and week out. Not to mention they don't generate near as much revenue for the schools.
That being said, the rules now have to be abided by. And the fact is, all the players sign an agreement that their likeness, autographs, etc aren't private property while they play in the NCAA, they belong to the NCAA. So, stupid rule or not, the OSU players blatantly broke a rule. Also, since you mentioned it, there are allegations (an probably and investigation) about cars being received in manners that break the rules as wellComment -
Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that they DIDN'T break a rule...they most certainly did! I was just saying that I feel that the rule should be changed due to precisely the point you had made in your statement. Athletes bring in MORE revenue than any other student, and take the greatest health risk. I think for those reasons, there should be some compensation, especially when the NCAA and university is most certainly benefitting from these players.Comment -
The best example of why players should be paid and be provided insurance is Eric LeGrand from Rutgers. It is very hard to argue with the fact that his time at school as well as his paralyzation amounted to almost nothing.
Another example I like is Tyrone Prothro from Alabama. He was a fantastic receiver at Alabama who also performed one of the single greatest catches ever (against Southern Miss, YouTube it if you haven't seen it). As all Alabama fans, and a lot of other fans from around the country remember, his career was cut short when his leg was shattered in the endzone. He now works as a bank Teller at Regions in Tuscaloosa.Comment -
forgot to bump but
Da UComment -
as a buckeye fan it pains me to say this.. but my bankroll and I just wanted to bump a "I told ya so"Comment -
now they might bring in the Frosh QB in 1st ever road game @ Da U likely down 2 scores
Comment -
as much as i would love to see miller come in and lay a beat down, i doubt he is ready. He struggled against akron, can't put enough emphasize on that.Comment -
good call guyComment -
Fukeyes couldnt stop a nosebleed against Jacory and now the Frosh QB throws a pick after they get a drive going
over/under total wins for fukeyes now at 6.5Comment -
Jacory still his shit self
Comment -
Some are calling this game the "Scandal Bowl."Comment -
Jacory looks fukin stoned on the sideline
He could cost U here if he doesnt wake up and throws more picksComment
