Huh? Jeremy Gallon > Smith-ghibjabinbong?
January 1st, 2022 at 10:12 PM ^
369 is more, I just ran the calculations. Gallon wins.
January 1st, 2022 at 10:33 PM ^
Bless you sir.
January 1st, 2022 at 10:42 PM ^
Do you have any studies that can back this up? Or is this simply anecdotal
January 2nd, 2022 at 10:48 AM ^
I'll consult Professor of Ethics Urban Meyer for the study.
January 2nd, 2022 at 10:52 AM ^
And don't forget Character and Leadership.
January 2nd, 2022 at 11:08 AM ^
Right, it was Character and Leadership. I guess that's part of the Ethics curriculum in Columbus?
January 1st, 2022 at 10:50 PM ^
What number am I thinking of?
369, dude!
January 2nd, 2022 at 2:53 PM ^
nice nice nice
January 1st, 2022 at 10:12 PM ^
369 (nice) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 346, obv.
January 1st, 2022 at 10:43 PM ^
Can you imagine ONLY getting 346 receiving yards in a game?
2/10. Not impressed.
January 2nd, 2022 at 10:54 AM ^
I just re-watched that 2013 game against Indiana on YouTube. Michigan scored 63 points and gave up 47 points. The 369 yards by Gallon was amazing. But how in the hell did a defense with Des Morgan, Frank Clark and Jake Ryan get lit up for 47 points?
And Fitz Toussaint was a beast. Incredible combination of speed, elusiveness and power.
I mentioned in a different thread that I have very vague memories of the Hoke era even though I watched every game. Re-watching this game on YouTube was like seeing it for the first time.

A: Coaching
January 2nd, 2022 at 12:26 PM ^
I was at the game. Amazing experience, both the game and the weather. Started with a hailstorm, followed by high wind and rain and then THE SUN CAME OUT AND IT GOT WARM, and so did the play.
January 2nd, 2022 at 1:42 PM ^
I remember that. It was a surreal game to be at.
January 1st, 2022 at 10:12 PM ^
Don’t get cute with the trash talk.
42-27. That’s all that needs to be said.
January 1st, 2022 at 10:16 PM ^
Opening us up to "imagine needing 369 receiving yards to beat Indiana" is not wise.
January 1st, 2022 at 10:36 PM ^
The talent disparity between us and Indiana probably wasn’t as great as OSU and Utah. OSU definitely shouldn’t have needed their QB and WR to break records to win that game
January 2nd, 2022 at 10:02 AM ^
Ohio was down by two touchdowns most of the game. The reason Utah stopped scoring is because their QB got injured. Utah wins that game with a healthy QB.
January 2nd, 2022 at 11:44 AM ^
Agree Utah probably wins if Rising doesn’t go down…but they had gone stagnant in the 2nd half, and it was actually the backup who generated their first td of the half.
JSN is a hell of a receiver.
January 2nd, 2022 at 12:36 PM ^
I assume this was shorthand for, "Utah wins that game with a healthy QB while Ohio State still needs to play the whole game without 24 scholarship players, including two 1st round wide receivers, their first-day draft pick starting right tackle, and four defensive starters."
In which case, yes, you're probably right.
January 2nd, 2022 at 10:30 AM ^
Ever since we beat OSU everyone neg bangs anything that reflects on how bad UM was, it makes no sense to me. Remember that time we had to score 70 to beat Illinois?
I’m about to crack a beer.
January 1st, 2022 at 10:58 PM ^
59-51-6 also works just fine
January 2nd, 2022 at 1:36 AM ^
LOL at Michigan still having an 8 game advantage after the last 2 decades of garbage.
Goodness, we PWNED Ohio State so much pre-Tressel.
January 1st, 2022 at 10:25 PM ^
Imagine giving up 45 points to a depleted offense that averaged 35 ppg in the PAC-12 when you have 5 stars at every position.
Ryan Day is a shitty Lincoln Riley.
January 1st, 2022 at 10:45 PM ^
Honestly, I have always wanted Ohio State to join the Big 12.
January 1st, 2022 at 11:06 PM ^
Ryan Day is just Lincoln Riley with a beard.
January 1st, 2022 at 11:28 PM ^
“Beard”
January 1st, 2022 at 11:32 PM ^
I upvote all Ryan Day beard negs. Dude looks like a clown with that thing.
January 2nd, 2022 at 12:37 AM ^
Could never figure out if he looks more like a clown, or a fat rat. I just call him 3rd base ratclown
January 2nd, 2022 at 9:58 AM ^
He does look like a fat rat!
January 2nd, 2022 at 10:27 AM ^
Unfair to Riley. Riley is a great offensive mind. Day has a lot of great players.
January 2nd, 2022 at 1:39 AM ^
Stroud is good. Smith-Njigba is great. Without Olave and Wilson he will be neutralized next year. We break the 22 year streak in Columbus next year. Our O will feast all afternoon vs Ryan Day, his beard, and 2 dollar haircut with incredible ease
January 2nd, 2022 at 9:19 AM ^
does he or doesn't he? only his hairdresser knows....
January 2nd, 2022 at 2:17 PM ^
You really have to ask?
January 2nd, 2022 at 7:00 PM ^
Julian Fleming was the #1 rated recruit at any position when he came in, and barring bad luck, will be healthy for the first time next year. Marvin Harrison is as talented as any wide receiver on the roster. Emeka Egbuka has been the best kick return Ohio State has had since Ginn, and the only reason he's not already a household name at WR is because he was sitting behind everyone else. That's before you add in their four incoming WR's, who are rated the #9, #10, #15, and #23 WRs in the country. Ohio State's WR corps next year will be as good, if not better, than this year.
The Buckeyes' success next year will depend entirely on what their new Defensive Coordinator can do. There is too much talent there to be performing as poorly as they have in recent years. Part of it is their secondary being so talented that they get drafted early, having 'learned on the job' but not having stuck around long enough to pay dividends; but mostly, it's coaching. Even average defensive coaching would produce a top 30 defense with the kind of talent OSU trots out every year, and a program like Ohio State should be able to do a hell of a lot better than an average DC. It wasn't crazy for Day to give Coombs his first ever crack at being a DC, but it was a gamble, and it failed big time.
January 1st, 2022 at 10:34 PM ^
What a poverty program
January 1st, 2022 at 10:37 PM ^
I remember my first 300 yard WR ?
January 1st, 2022 at 10:37 PM ^
And Njigba didn't even do it in a conference game. Not appropriate for B1G record books.
January 1st, 2022 at 10:46 PM ^
Didn't want to start a new thread but what's going on with Marcus Williamson, who "retired" before the Rose Bowl? He's lighting up Twitter tonight with some anti-Urban Meyer anti-OSU fan stuff. I know nothing about this -- kind of odd, no?
January 1st, 2022 at 11:09 PM ^
It's mostly a reaction to Herbie's comments about today's players "not loving football" enough to suit his tastes. Williamson was just providing fuller context to what these guys went through at OSU and how no one should question their level of commitment when there are so many other questionable things about big time college football.
January 1st, 2022 at 11:12 PM ^
I was reading some of that, and all I will say is that we all knew that Urban Meyer was a piece of shit, but to read these things from someone who had the misfortunate of having to face the man every day.....the picture gets rounded out in unexpected ways. I think much of it is more about what Herbstreit said today, but there are a few tidbits about Meyer, yes.
January 1st, 2022 at 11:41 PM ^
This one was interesting.

That’s disgusting. Absolutely pathetic for adults to be treating kids like that. Especially ones that they’re supposedly responsible for their well being.
January 2nd, 2022 at 9:21 AM ^
i don't do the tweets and when i clicked on that link it was rose bowl pics. what did i miss from this williamson guy?
January 2nd, 2022 at 9:30 AM ^
He apparently retired from the team right before the Rose Bowl and didn't travel. He was a 5th year guy. I think the Twitter stuff was set off by Kirk Herbstreit criticizing players who opted out of their bowls for financial reasons. In a long thread, he laid out how athletes, and particularly athletes of color, are used by the system, from high school on up to college and the NCAA, without compensation of any kind. He also called out Urban Meyer in no uncertain terms but I didn't read all the tweets -- it seemed to have a decidedly racist bent to it. Others can probably fill that one in. The tweet above was him calling out the Ohio State fanbase, saying they had a low football IQ, but maybe he took that one down. I'll click on it and find out.
January 2nd, 2022 at 2:28 PM ^
thanks for that and i also think its cool that you are posting. a girl who knows her sports and loves michigan is good for the board.
January 2nd, 2022 at 1:26 AM ^
Good for Williamson. Use his platform to show all of this. These are young men who have been given an opportunity. Coach them. Help them to achieve in life.
As an inner-city coach, the exploitation of young men; in-particular men of color for personal gain disgusts me. To think someone would treat my athletes (or my son who also is black) like how he claims he was treated is beyond despicable. It is one thing to challenge and push someone to better the person, it is another to berate them and make them subhuman.
F anyone who does that no matter what university you represent
January 2nd, 2022 at 7:33 AM ^
completely agree.
