I see Iowa leads IL 9-3 in the top of the 7th inning
November 18th, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
Lol. I tuned in at 0-2, the most Iowa score ever followed at 3-2.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
Pitch count was 0-2 you mean?
November 18th, 2023 at 4:40 PM ^
In anyone keeping a close eye on OSU-Minnesota on BTN, it looks like MLB Tom Eichenberg and NT Mike Hall are both out with injuries - FS Lathan Ransom out for the season.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
Is eichenberg “Tommy 2 thumbs”?
November 18th, 2023 at 5:04 PM ^
Yeah, he's their LB that played with two broken thumbs last year.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:15 PM ^
Yes, Tommy 2 Thumbs.
Last I heard he was working for "The Don"
November 18th, 2023 at 4:55 PM ^
Dangit. I was hoping OSU would have Lathan Ransom available.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:40 PM ^
I’m watching GA vs TN. After TN took the first play of the game from scrimmage to the house, GA has mostly controlled things from there. GA up 17-7 mid 2nd qtr
November 18th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
I thought there was a very questionable hold against TN that negated an interception and good return for TN.
The SEC refs want an undefeated Georgia.
Georgia is strong - not questioning that. They seems to have - a12th man from the officiating crew.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:48 PM ^
Yeah, that was a hack job. It took Gary Danielson a full five minutes to rationalize the call.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:48 PM ^
Yeah I agree that was bs. Slaughter brought that back to the red zone too. Def protecting the SEC title game
November 18th, 2023 at 4:49 PM ^
There’s a lot of that going around. And holding is not a thing anymore.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
Refs robbed Tennessee of a pick. The defender got called for holding a receiver that never even looked at the play, and Beck threw it to grass.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:54 PM ^
Bowers is such a key part of Georgia’s offense. His return from that high ankle sprain was - extremely quick.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:58 PM ^
Georgia is getting better every week, we are just now seeing our weaknesses because of how terrible the big10 is. No way we are beating Georgia
November 18th, 2023 at 6:18 PM ^
Yes, UGA is peaking now.
We have a problem at the tackle position. They have no holes.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:41 PM ^
MHJ is a cheat code, that pass is horribly thrown and he still at least comes close to pulling that in. He makes up for being an average quarterback
November 18th, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
McCord sucks. He is nowhere near their last few qbs.If he didnt have Harrison he would have crap numbers.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
If our pass rush is like today then he will be under siege all day. Taulia is mobile and can get out and run, McCord cannot. My hope is that he throws some critical interceptions.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:48 PM ^
Agree..he seems to throw it in traffic alot
November 18th, 2023 at 4:55 PM ^
He's lucky not to have one INT already today.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:33 PM ^
He has been underwhelming.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:53 PM ^
Georgia is good
Oregon is good
November 18th, 2023 at 4:55 PM ^
Crazy that Oregon loses its coach every five years but always runs the same offense, and successfully at that.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:40 PM ^
I most fear Oregon, which has the potential to drop 60 on anyone.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:53 PM ^
Watching Clemson and UNC, I like Maye and the Heels. Would like to see our line with their skill positions, they are playmakers there.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:55 PM ^
Damn Minnesota with the michigan play, run up the middle on 3rd and 5. Must be stealing our plays
November 18th, 2023 at 4:58 PM ^
Ohio team does not look that scary.
I'm not a fan of flirting with disaster, but if JJ needed to get one of those out of his system, I'm glad it was today not next week.
Hope the OL can heal up. That would be an issue. And fullbacks+DE really need to work on picking up blitzes.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
This is not the typical OSU team. In past years, they were all about offense - and they're still decent. But their strength this year is defense.....first time in quite a few years
November 18th, 2023 at 5:00 PM ^
Crazy that this Tennessee team was #18. Someone out there tryin' to pump up Alabama...
November 18th, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
That Alabama team is rolling the last few weeks and might be as dangerous as any team in the country
November 18th, 2023 at 5:16 PM ^
Not saying that they're not good.
Just saying that someone is trying to inflate their strength-of-record.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:00 PM ^
With all the complaining I did today because that game really sucked. We went into the ohio state game last year with a whole new playbook, I'm hopeful that's the plan this year also. Hopefully this didn't expose us like the 2018 Indiana game
November 18th, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
LOL. You are still complaining or trashing UM even in this thread.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:26 PM ^
Lol I started drinking early. I'm done now
November 18th, 2023 at 5:07 PM ^
That TOUGH OSU team is still running jet sweeps on short-yardage plays.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
Deacon Hill is so bad....
November 18th, 2023 at 5:13 PM ^
Minnesota picks up four yards on a QB sneak on 3rd and 1.
TOUGH TEAM!
November 18th, 2023 at 5:15 PM ^
Minnesota trying to make things worse than they have to be.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:16 PM ^
At least OSU is struggling too.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:18 PM ^
They’ll be up 20-0 at the half most likely. Minnesota sucks. If it wasn’t for that last second td pass before the half against us, we would’ve beaten them 52-3
November 18th, 2023 at 5:21 PM ^
Minnesota sucks, but OSU is not driving 85 yards in 30 seconds.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:19 PM ^
Jedd doing work.
Hopefully he's smart enough to turn down the Sparty job.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
OSU OL looks bad in this game. McCord hobbling.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:25 PM ^
They're going to FEEL bad the next one.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
McCord got sacked on the last play of the half and came up limping.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:24 PM ^
Fuck Ohio.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:24 PM ^
Wow. Refs just gifted Clemson 7 points at the end of the half. Lamest roughing the passing call seen outside of the Big Ten
November 18th, 2023 at 5:24 PM ^
I can't stomach Day's face.
Makes me want to hurl.
