OSU bowl game snowflakes: they stink (so far, 2nd qtr)
December 29th, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
It's the second-best defense in the country, per FEI and per my eyeballs.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:38 PM ^
This is exactly the type of Buckeye bowl game I wanted to see.
- Painful as hell for OSU fans to watch
- But also exposing an SEC team's supposed vaunted offense as trash (which bodes well for us transitive property wise)
- Win-Win
December 29th, 2023 at 9:38 PM ^
This is just an atrocious game to watch. I'm sure OSU will win something stupid but if I'm the OSU faithful you gotta be nervous about how awful this offense looks.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
Just took a peek at the open thread for 2nd Q. They want Day and the offensive staff fired.
As a bonus I also looked at the score predictions. They better get moving if they hope to beat the Tigers by the avg of 20+ points predicted.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:38 PM ^
Is it a good sign that OSUs defense is dominating a solid SEC offense? Experts are all talking about how the Big Ten defenses are overrated because they are playing Big Ten offenses. Here’s a defense just a little below ours dominating.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:39 PM ^
Wow Mizzou is pathetic.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:39 PM ^
Bevis the kicker taking his sweet fucking time getting ready for the kick. Good lord man.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
Big Ten West ass game here.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
Missouri is a clown show
December 29th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
I am not sure which I am chuckling at more.....Drinkwitz's team being shutout with all of his immature sign stealing public comments or seeing OSU implode on one another in their huddle and Ryan Day just standing there like a little kid waiting for his turn to step up to the counter to place his order at Dairy Queen....clowns.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:42 PM ^
I think Drinkwitz coaches more like his namesake than most realize 🍻
December 29th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
Let’s go Tigers! Or not! Idiots! What a miserable half.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:41 PM ^
This bowl game is the worse of them all. It is showing that the SEC is overrated!
December 29th, 2023 at 9:41 PM ^
Copied from the earlier thread:
OSU's first half drive chart:
Punt
Punt
FG
Punt
Punt
Punt
Punt
Longest drive was 27 yards, the FG. 5 first downs. 76 total yards, 20 passing.
Music, sweet music.
December 29th, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
And most of those punts were 3 and outs.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:41 PM ^
Wow. I saw a lot of intelligent play coupled with excellent culture. Scintillating
December 29th, 2023 at 9:41 PM ^
Ryan "fake tough guy deep voice" day.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:41 PM ^
This game closely resembles Iowa against Iowa.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:43 PM ^
IA vs the IA practice squad!
December 29th, 2023 at 10:27 PM ^
What is "All nations should band toghether to make sure such a conflagration never takes place."
December 29th, 2023 at 10:05 PM ^
This game trying to resurrect Brian Ferentz’s career…
December 29th, 2023 at 9:42 PM ^
Ryan Day sounds like Kronk from "Emperor's New Groove" (Patrick Warburton)
December 29th, 2023 at 10:04 PM ^
David Puddy agrees with this.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:45 PM ^
If nothing else, OSU is proving they did not belong in the CFP. With only MHJ sitting out and their starting QB transferred who the fans drove out they really aren't missing many pieces. This team was not made ready and are playing like it, thats on Cryin' Ryan Day. Gotta love Buckeyes laying a turd. Now if only Mizzou can get loose and put some points on the board.
December 29th, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
I am sure their fan base will show its usual support that these quarterbacks can count on.
I just hope Ryan doesn’t have them play tight because you know teams just can’t play good when they play tight. That would be a shame.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:45 PM ^
the commercials are better than the college sports I am trying to enjoy right now. Ryan Day is a basket case. So that's entertaining in a way.
11Ws must be ablaze right now. Maybe that's the ticket.
December 29th, 2023 at 10:03 PM ^
Right after an electric car commercial by their sponsor, the color announcer laughs and says these offenses are like not being able to find a charger for your car, which is not a ringing endorsement of electric cars; oops!
December 29th, 2023 at 10:31 PM ^
Yeah, if i was that car company, i would have had espn skip the "Electric Play" of the half. Just avoid being associated w this dud.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:45 PM ^
Yeah, McCord was for SURE the problem with this team. Quite clear.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:47 PM ^
It’s halftime and they still stink. And worse, Joey Galloway.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:47 PM ^
Brian Ferentz called all time OC for this game.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
Indeed. I'm having a tough time tracking what is so horrible about Brian F. after watching the first half here.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
Ain't so funny when O'Korn plays QB for your team, is it Buckeyes?
December 29th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
Are there re-runs of “Murder, She wrote” on any station? They’d have to be better than this.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:54 PM ^
Nothing like Jessica in a pant suit with random end of career actors/actresses as suspects
December 29th, 2023 at 9:51 PM ^
OSU sporting 76 total yards of offense in the first half. Nice.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:52 PM ^
Gosh I really enjoy watching college football , and am always interested in rooting against OSU , but this shit is almost unwatchable . Blah
December 29th, 2023 at 10:03 PM ^
28 yards passing by one team and 20 by the other isn’t riveting college football?
Iowa football fans are giddy right now …
December 29th, 2023 at 10:03 PM ^
It's a clown show for sure, but there's no way I'm not going to enjoy this!
December 29th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
So, OSU recruits at the highest level..but, missing Maserati and Honda and maybe 1 or 2 others...they just collapse offensively?
What happened to all those high 4 star/5 star receivers? OL? They look like total shit
December 29th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
Mizzou’s offense somehow looks worse and they have all of their starters.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:54 PM ^
I like "Ferentz Fest" better than "Ferentz Bowl" as a rename of this one. What say you?
December 29th, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
It's an insult to Ferentz.
Iowa's a thing, and it sort of works. This is shambolic. Never mind the signs of serious emotional crackage on the OSU sideline--Iowa at least gains a few yards before punting. This looks like the Snow Bowl without the snow.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:55 PM ^
All you need to know about Kienholz is that he was behind Brown. And Brown blows. I don't know how any insider thought that Brown was going to beat out McCord.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:55 PM ^
This is exactly the game I was hoping for!!
Let's do another half of THAT! Yay meteor!
Fuck OSU. Fuck the SEC. Fuck Mizzou's trolling ass coach.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:56 PM ^
So far this game is a win/win in many ways.
First win: I get to laugh my ass off at OSU.
2nd win: The "vaunted" SEC team that LSU and Georgia got so much cred for beating (which then was used to overrank the entire conference) looks even worse and can't take over a game vs a team with essentially no QB.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:56 PM ^
I wanted to see that kick. This game will probably be decided by that guy's leg.
December 29th, 2023 at 9:56 PM ^
So does Ryan Day need a 1st round NFL QB at all times to make his offense work? McCord is a plus P5 QB and no one else on that roster looks as good and they can barely turn up 3 points in the first half
Really enjoyable to watch
December 29th, 2023 at 10:04 PM ^
Serious question: what's Ryan Day's record in games where he doesn't have the best 22 players on the field?
