I guess from the comment you watch too much ESPN and recently bought mostly Nike brands shoes and clothing.... It has been hard to watch this team this year. No run defense, no pass defense. Pentalitis kill them. Maybe once this year when pinning a team inside the 5 yard line did they stop them, maybe once, and usually these teams broke records for drives or plays. Hard to watch, harder to understand given the talent. Maybe they should have kept Joe Burrow at the helm for leader only.... Haskins is Phenom, but doesn't have the presence or leadership to actually lead this team - if he had the O-Line would split the defenders for more 5-yard runs up the middle or off tackle.

The friet train in Purdue stopped them in their Tracks - it was coming all year. I think these Buckeyes could be a 3-4 loss team with a bowl game appearance at this point. Time for some renewal, Urban Renewal!

Yeah, there is something rotten in old Columbus town. Not just State's beat down at Purdue, but the Buckeye's level of play has regressed from game to game facing what is now considered now as not so formidable opposition.

State has talent, and supposedly elite head coach, but OSU hax no chemistry. The only reason I see for the Buckeyes woes are internal issues. Meyers and misfit assistants Schiano and Wilson have lost control of the locker room. The pre season turmoil surrounding Meyer and an assistant coache's domestic violence issues have taken their toll.

I too believe Urban will bail, and I say that as an OSU alum and football fan.

Since the MI State/Spartan game was delayed due to weather, we got to see about an hours worth of the Badger game, too, because they had to fill air time.

We don’t have any cable or dish, so it was a treat. :)

No. Just hate the hypocrisy of big time so called amateur college athletics. The majority of the “student athletes” get almost nothing except lifelong debilitating injuries and a non education. Meanwhile the coaches, their staffs and the universities reap the big bucks. Want to laugh. Almost all the big college football coaches hold academic rank as “Professors of Physical Education” or some other euphemism. Yea they are real educators.

I heard some sportscaster refer to Alabama as “The Evil Empire” yesterday. Laughed my ass off. Roll Tide!

Ya and the announcers said before the half that TN is in this game. I wuz like, ok bro, sure. And after what I saw from LSU (all we can do is kick field goals), Ohio St, and Clemson I don't think anyone can beat the Tide. RTR!

Then he will retire to spend more time with his family and fellow staff at ESPN.

Before going to South Bend.

Seriously if your screen didn’t get blurry when they showed him the stadium, you aren’t human.

A joke is calling the basketball ACC a power 5 conference in football. The ACC schools are terrible teams football teams, playing no much better than Div 2 teams. Clemson is the only team in the ACC that plays half-way decent football, but no way in hell they should get a reserved spot in the BCS for playing a bunch of cupcakes year in and year out. If Clemson were in the SEC, preferably the SEC West, where they belong, their cakewalk to the BCS is over. They would actually have to play tough teams that can beat your ass every single weekend.
Clemson is not in the SEC because they would have to play Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Miss State and other tough ass teams each and every week. Let’s see them go 12-0 or 12-1 each and every year. It ain’t happening.

My wife suggested that OSU was throwing the game for him. I was without words.

The funniest thing was Urban saying that he thought they had a good solid week of practice. OSU played flat and downright awful. That doesn’t just show up on Sat that is something that starts Monday and goes downhill. If Urban is that out of touch then he will soon be the President of Kent State ala Jim Tresser.
