More Buckeye Excuses for their loss

59-51-6

Go blue 

If they had the flu, they shouldn't have played. Bad excuse.

When OSU kicked the ever loving shit out of us two years straight. They were the better team. That’s not so hard to say, unless your a buckeye player. 

The pathetic meter has really shifted in the past 3 weeks and is now pointing on Columbus. That loss was really damaging. Beat the buckeyes next season and you might completely demoralize their fan base. I love being on top!

That wasn't the flu, it was Haskins ?

The Big 10 or better yet CDC should investigate why a football team exhibiting strange flu like symptoms was allowed to travel and compete out of state. Ryan Day needs to provide some answers on why they would risk spreading disease in the midst of a global pandemic. Seems irresponsible if you ask me.

Fuck CJ Stroud. Try winning a game when the refs openly swing the game in the other team’s favor. Then you can talk.

Thanks, CJ.  It’s never too early to start gathering bulletin board material for next year.

They really believe it is their birthright to win The Game. Reality can be such a cruel bitch sometimes. I have refrained from rubbing it in or talking any shit. The one instance where I engaged an OSU fan, I just asked him, “did anything about that game look flukey or not capable of being repeated?” He had no answer, something about the last 10 years. I hope they keep this up, pretending they are physical. 

They can say whatever they want to now. 

Weather, injuries, illness from flu, are faced by all college football teams every year, especially in November.

Had Ohio State won in Ann Arbor, then they would have certainly chided Michigan players and fans for any similar such excuse-making.  

What do you expect? It does not matter.

Michigan defeated Ohio State decisively 42-27, won the Big Ten Title outright 42-3 vs. Iowa, is now preparing to play Georgia in the CFP. Michigan is also showing good momentum on the recruiting trail. 

FWIW Michigan tailback Blake Corum was not 100% either for The Game, which Ohio State directly benefit from most of the afternoon.  Yeah, they got heaping helping of Hassan Haskins and a couple doses of Corum. But a healthy Corum would not have made their afternoon vs. Michigan any easier.

CHARMIN SOFT

Hope the flu doesn't come back and get them before the Rose Bowl too! That would just be awful luck for such a physical team. Hard to ball out when the damn flu saps all your energy... Just ask MJ. 

this is probably viewed as a homer take, but who cares. im home!

When I saw CJ Stroud start the season and struggle against minnesota (at times) and agianst oregon as well (big game) at home - i thought we had a chance. He is NOT the same QB that we've become accustomed to seeing with steel nerves and delivering ridiculous passes above their pay grade. He scored lots of points and put up great numbers. So does Matthew Stafford. I saw weakness and a kid unsure. It was echoed when we were up 2 TDs and they scored a late touchdown (i htink rushing) and he flexed.. again, kinda sheepishly.

What i'm saying is... his whining fits everything I've seen so far.. including a big FAT L.

Good thing our guys did not catch the flu from Stroud, what with the sacks and the hurries.  They were pretty close to him quite a bit.

He’s laying the ground work for “We don’t come to play non-CFP Bowl” when Utah wins the Rose Bowl with 1 to 3 of OSU’s NFL bound receivers opting out.

I hope that Michigan uses these excuses as extra fuel for next year's game in Columbus. I also hope Harbaugh and the coaches use the same approach they did this past year, where they focus on how to beat OSU all year, starting in January. The new approach obviously paid off well.

I'm sure some of their players were sick; the flu is no joke and it knocked out MSU as well.  I'm sure it didn't help them.  But OSU absolutely is coming across as a program that can't handle even a hint of adversity.  Like, it probably didn't help that UM was down to their 3rd-string QB in 2017, or that they got a ton of calls go against them in 2016, or any other number of reasons why they've lost games against the Buckeyes.  But OSU got a fair bit of luck in their game against UM (a number of fumbles went their way, those crazy catches by their WRs, etc.) and yet they lost by 15.  It happens.  But just take your fucking loss and stop trying to justify why you didn't beat a good team on the road for once.

Urban Meyer is a lot of things but he absolutely wouldn't have allowed his start QB make these types of comments weeks after a loss, and is another point in the "Ryan Day isn't as good of a coach" side of the ledger.

Stroud's use of "kind of," twice no less, suggests he knows he's giving a fake excuse.

Cute. Do you think he'll spend much time out of his hotel room in New York, or will he be hiding from Hutchinson for most of the time? 

IDK...to me all of this bitching only makes them look soft..er. 

Waiting for the hangnail excuse...you just know its coming. 

Regardless of what he says, the best part is that they constantly have to field questions about it.  Just increases the pressure.

If they lose the Rose Bowl (please let it happen), the cooler poopers will erupt into a rabid frenzy.

So they obviously would have gone undefeated if not for the flu or something hitting the whole team against Oregon and us - man up asshole and admit you were not good that day against either team.  

BTW, if Cade didn't have an eyelash in his eye, which caused him to thro that pic in the 1Q, then the score would have been 49-27 ya fucking mouth breathers.

Not to make excuses, or anything, but Michigan played way better than Ohio State did throughout the entire game. That's pretty much why Michigan won. 

No kneel next time fuckholes.

He can say whatever he wants.

Stroud is in the rear view mirror. On to bigger and better things. 

Doesn't he know that these excuses just make our victory even sweeter?

Thank you, CJ.  Your pathetic excuses add to my joy and make me even more confident that what happened this year is very repeatable.  

2020: "Give us COVID, we want skulls."

2021: "We were crushed in the trenches for four hours because we have stuffy noses."

Saw a few Buckeye fans say the weather gave us a big advantage. Can someone explain that? Does it not get cold in Columbus? Does it not snow there (it barely snowed in Ann Arbor that day)? Is Columbus now just north of the equator? 

he may be too dumb to realize the heisman voting is over. anything he says now has zero impact.

I remember news articles ahead of the OSU game mentioning that the seasonal flu was ravaging Michigan’s campus at the time. I was pretty worried that our team would take a hit. I hope that Michigan’s athletic department is smart enough to vaccinate all of the players and staff as soon as shots become available every year.

Memo to CJ Stroud: waaaa, waaaaa, waaaaa.

Poor losers! I thought they'd have more class, MY BAD!

It's funny, Gattis basically calls them soft, and OSU's response to getting their ass beat is the softest whiniest excuses on why they lost: "the weather", "we were sick", etc.

This actually is great, imo. I want them to internalize  all these other excuses why they lost, and not "we were completely and totally unprepared and outcoached". 

Since when do we listen to losers?

And we are better than MSU. What of it?

When Michigan lost to State, Cade didn't blame the officials, didn't say that he was dealing with something, and he didn't throw his teammates under the bus. He just said, "This loss is on me."  Stroud on the other hand... "My team and I were sick."

Good, let Stroud and OSU keep making excuses. They need to find a reason for their destruction. As a team they are mentally weak. They're not going to fix this during one off season.

We beat them once since 2011 and they act like this?  Jeez, if that isn't the epitome of SOFT, not sure what is. 

Man o man.... what they going to do if M rolls in next year and beats them again?  

Good.

I do not need (nor expect) any words of supplication from the vanquished foe. The victory is every bit as sweet without them,

Let them think the flu was all it was, and they have nothing to fix, and keep doing what they've been doing. See ya next year!

ohio state. 

CRY.

oops, 'THE' CRY. 

Go Blue! 

Excuses are like assholes,  Taylor. Everybody got one...

Channeling Platoon.

Dumbass little kid who reads his own press.
