I remember speaking to Jason Avant about Chip since he played for him in Philly. Safe to say Jason was not a fan. I think he called Chip the “worst mistake the Eagles franchise ever made”. Chip was very arrogant and didn’t want to interact directly with some players. Not a good look for a head coach. He believed his system was more important than the players. Maybe he was better with college players rather than professional.
He was an equally bad talent evaluator, with a bias towards Oregon players. He almost traded half the Eagles team to draft Marcus Mariotta, wanted to draft Dion Jordan over Lane Johnson, and got rid of desean jackson, and Lesean McCoy, our two best playmakers at the time, for nothing.
As a lifelong Eagles fan, he wasn’t quite as terrible as Rich Kotite, but he was bad. Let the suckeyes have him.
Arrived earlier today. Been out and about at a restaurant, my hotel, a couple bars and walked the streets. I’m thinking maybe 65-70 percent michigan. I expect about 2/3 of the stadium to be Michigan tomorrow.
I booked my Houston hotel reservations yesterday and was surprised at how reasonable the price was for a decent hotel within walking distance of the stadium.
If FSU wins, there is no way an undefeated team gets bumped by a one loss team. That would be so unfair it’s crazy.
Best case for us is FSU and Alabama and UT win. We would be the one seed and would play Texas or better yet FSU
Such an ass clown comment from Petitti. Hey, Tony, ever heard of Jerry Sandusky? Signgate shouldn’t even be the biggest “scandal” in the conference this year. Mel Tucker and northwestern are far worse imo.
It’s just that the media and rest of Big Ten has taken it and run with it due to our success on the field and their hatred of JH.
I’m not complaining, when you’re in the CFP, you’re gonna play a good team. But the fact that we’re kind of stuck in that 2 position (assuming we take care of Iowa and Georgia takes care of AL) isn’t great. It means we’re almost certainly going to play a west coast team, probably Oregon, in the Rose bowl.
I think I would rather us draw Georgia in the semis at the sugar bowl, over Oregon in Pasadena. Not saying we can’t win, but I think most can agree that Oregon in Pasadena is a bad draw for us.
You’re probably right although OSUs loss would be to another playoff team (us) and FSUs would be to Louisville. The CFP committee probably wouldn’t want two big ten teams in it anyway. If that’s the case then the Buckeyes are clearly eliminated
OSU needs FSU, Texas, Oregon and Alabama to lose to make it. FSU, Texas and Oregon will all be favored and Texas should be a double digit favorite I would think. It’s not impossible, but the Suckeyes aren’t making it
I want FSU to win next week against Louisville. If GA handles Alabama and we take care of Iowa, it will be
1. GA
2. UM
3. FSU
4. Oregon
or
1. GA
2. UM
3. Washington
4. FSU
We would probably play FSU in rose bowl… a very good matchup for us.
If Washington beats Oregon, then they will be 3rd and we would play them.
Wouldn’t be great to play a west coast team in rose bowl.
Either way, we are most likely playing semifinals in Pasadena. Best case scenario would be if Oregon wins (they would be 4th and play Georgia) and FSU wins (and plays us in a two versus three matchup)
if FSU loses, then Texas will be 4 and we will play winner of Oregon- Washington in pasadena
I think we need a 2nd and 3rd team here. I’m certainly no fan of the Bosa brothers, either. Can’t stand Ezekiel (double since he was a Cowboy and I’m an eagles fan). Terrelle Pryor also has a special place of hate in the pit of my soul.
Curious who Buckeye fans would rank for hated UM players? Since I’m not talking to any of them this week.. I guess I won’t know. I would guess Lewan, Hutch, Braylon, Biakabatuka, Harbaugh?
Special teams was the difference in this ugly game. Great punting…blocked punt.
I hope im wrong, and that it was just a vanilla game plan…. But concerned about coaching next week. My number one concern is Barnhart. My second concern is Wallace on Egbuka/Fleming. MJH will certainly get his, but WJ can follow him and hopefully slow him down a bit. Third concern is coaching… running repeatedly into a stacked box is not a good plan.
Yeah, he pulled through. I was stingy with the pain meds in PACU, though. “No dilaudid for you until you admit that Ryan day is a soft little bitch.” :)
I am an anesthesiologist and I am not impressed. Screw Ryan Day and the entire OSU soft ass program. This entire fake scandal has me livid.
Had a patient yesterday who came in wearing a buckeye shirt. Of course signgate came up. He seemed more like the above OSU fan #1, but perhaps he was just being polite because he knew I was going to be putting him to sleep.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but no team has run a play within the Michigan 10 yard line all year. It hasn’t happened tonight. That is pretty amazing stat considering we are almost through game 9.
Great letter. It’s definitely more polite than I would have been, though. I would have mentioned that I was exploring moving to other conferences that would appreciate us and treat us fairly I guess that’s why I’m not president of a major university. I have written a 600 page manifesto about becoming one, however.
I don’t want to just win… I want to embarrass them. I want Day to implode. I want the OSU fan base to be screaming for his head. I have always hated the OSU program with every fiber of my being… but there was at least some respect as an extremely challenging adversary and rival. This bs sign crap changes all that. And I hate the big ten now as well for running with this and giving into these other weak coaches
I’m a UM grad, a physician, and 5 years out from being diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Fortunately, in my case, it was caught before it spread and I’ve been cancer free for 4 years now (essentially cured). You are right though… the year of chemo (doxorubicin and cisplatin) were absolutely miserable, along with a big surgery right in the middle. At least i got it a little later in life. Anyway, there is hope if caught early enough (metastatic spread usually goes to the lungs). My prayers go out to this Buckeye, as well as Meechie’s family.
I’ve had my fill of this game. Tired of Charlie Jones, and every other purdue receiver coming down with the ball every time O’Connell chucks it up regardless of coverage. Let’s put together a long TD drive, shut the door and get out of dodge with a W
Pathetic. We kicked your ass in your house, and yet here you are on our board talking smack and making excuses as you back into the playoffs. Oh, and i don’t know if you noticed, but we were missing our best player, our heisman candidate rb and top DE for the Game. Please go back to your eleven assclowns board.
Drinking NorthCoast Old Rasputin and Manhattan Project half life and black matter. About to watch the usc kickoff with a fire going. Stout, sushi (dinner), football and fire… life is good. Just need a convincing win tomorrow night, and the Trojans to not allow OSU to back into the playoffs tonight.
All TVs will be 4k hdr and smart TVs. Forget 8k. Obviously with a $1500 budget there will be some sacrifices. Questions you need to ask in order of importance:
1. OLED vs LED- OLED superior, better blacks, but significantly more pricey
2. Assuming LED- backlight type, full array vs edge lit. Full array is going to cost more but much better contrast and brightness
3. size
4. brand
given your budget and the fact that it’s a main tv in the living room to watch sports and movies, I would suggest getting the biggest full array LED you can afford. Try crutchfield (good open box deals) or Cleveland plasma (they don’t have a brick and mortar store so they can sell them cheaper. I have ordered from them before so I can vouch for them), but all online dealers (Abe’s of Maine, etc,) come with some risk of a bait and switch. Probably not worth it.
Look for open box deals from reputable online companies. Since you don’t want an LG, you should be able to find an open box or even new 75 Sony 90J (2021 model) in that price range. Especially with the new model Sony’s being released any day now. 90J is a great set.

Very good info. Thank you.
I booked my Houston hotel reservations yesterday and was surprised at how reasonable the price was for a decent hotel within walking distance of the stadium.
I’m feeling good. Just booked my hotel reservation in Houston. Hope I get to use it!
I agree with you. And no they are not brave enough. Alabama will get in and FSU will get screwed
Yep. He couldn’t get off the stage fast enough. What a pathetic little assclown fucker.
If FSU wins, there is no way an undefeated team gets bumped by a one loss team. That would be so unfair it’s crazy.

I agree with OP 100%. It wasn’t even that close. Barely worthy of a review in my opinion.

Yes. Sorry meant pac-12. Haven’t had my coffee yet this morning. Post edited
Does a one loss pac 12 champion Oregon definitely jump an undefeated ACC champ FSU in playoff seedlings?
That seems to be what most on the forum are thinking
I agree, except an undefeated FSU gets in over a 1 loss Texas
You mean if Georgia loses to Bama, Bama would be 2 and Georgia would be out?
obviously we would go to 1 in that scenario
ESPN would implode and the world would come to end before the CFP committee didn’t have an SEC team.
I just don’t see a one loss non champion (Georgia) getting in over a one loss champion (Oregon or Texas).
Regardless, I think Georgia is going to take care of Bama next week
You’re probably right although OSUs loss would be to another playoff team (us) and FSUs would be to Louisville. The CFP committee probably wouldn’t want two big ten teams in it anyway. If that’s the case then the Buckeyes are clearly eliminated
OSU needs FSU, Texas, Oregon and Alabama to lose to make it. FSU, Texas and Oregon will all be favored and Texas should be a double digit favorite I would think. It’s not impossible, but the Suckeyes aren’t making it
If Washington wins- no… they will be 3rd and FSU 4th and we play Wash
but if Oregon and fsu both win, then I think an undefeated FSU is 3rd and a 1 loss PAC12 champion Oregon is 4.
hence… I am rooting for Oregon and FSU next week
despite SEC bias, I would think a 1 loss championship winner gets in over a 1 loss non-winner. I think If Bama wins, Georgia falls to 5 if FSU wins.
I want FSU to win next week against Louisville. If GA handles Alabama and we take care of Iowa, it will be
1. GA
2. UM
3. FSU
4. Oregon

The first bit of adversity and they’re starting to turn on each other. Ya hate to see it.
At least JohnnyB gets it… the football never lies.

Also screw Petitti and big 10
This was the best scene of the movie. Logged in to upvote.
Fuck the big ten and OSU with a passion unknown to mankind!
Scorched earth
That’s degrading to cunts

This team is really mad, and they are out for blood. Can’t wait to put a beat down on Frames and the loins next week in state college
We really might hang a 100
We gotta pick up the scoring pace if we’re gonna put up 100 on those little bitches

Ryan Day isn’t tuff. His real name is Clarence
But…but…but… I thought Mork had the secret sauce to beat Michigan?!?
fuck sparty. Fuck the ncaa. And the obligatory fuck PSU and OSU.
Guns don’t kill people. Mason Graham kills people.
Barner with a real nice half… just another weapon for JJ
I’m not so sure. JJ definitely turning some heads
I’ll be at the BHTM/blues traveler show in Vail on Thursday night. Should be a great show and the timing worked out for me.

Cannot overstate how huge WJ has been in this game! Dude is already a nasty CB. Both picks were bigtime

My concern is if TCU loses tomorrow and OSU moves up to 3 ahead of them, and we have a 2 vs 3 rematch in semifinals
