Coach rockin the Blublockers.
They looked different in December. Beat Rutgers at home and crushed NW in Evanston by 16 on New Year's Day. Since then: 1-14, including losing to MN at home. Just. Wow.OSU's last 10 results, using the NET rankings:
W 93-77 vs. #46 Iowa
L 60-69 at #32 Illinois
L 70-86 at #20 Indiana
L 60-65 vs. #70 Wisconsin
L 69-77 at #53 Michigan
L 41-62 vs. #35 Michigan State
L 75-92 at #46 Iowa
L 55-82 at #5 Purdue
L 71-75 vs. #56 Penn State
The only home blowout was against Michigan State. What also stands out to me is that after being utterly decimated at Purdue, they turned around and fought Penn State to the wire ... the Buckeyes do not appear to have given up yet, and I expect a close game.
With that said, this is nothing short of a must win. Period, period, period. Even just from a psychological standpoint, if you lose this one after the emotional high of that comeback vs. Northwestern, we can give up on any substantial dreams, IMO. The NU comeback HAS to serve as some sort of momentum starter for this group ... it just has to.
At this point I tune in primarily to see what Geoff's wearing.Coach rockin the Blublockers.
Smart a$$. Why do you think I posted it?! You've been a relative stranger this season. The GIF game on this board has gone to absolute he!! as a result (speaking of sin.)
Go to an earlier service. Or bank heavily on the belief in an all-forgiving God. It's your call.
Well played, sir. And one of my all-time favorite films, to boot.
Bet the BeachHouse on the Illini.Line is Illinois -2. That, unfortunately, is a trap line…
A strong argument exists that we all are drawn to competitive sports because they involve individual and team effort in striking a hard-to-hit goal... and deferral of gratification...
Man I dig that leather jacket coach wears.
But he made the shot when it counted. Or did he?
In his defense he was clearly fouled before the final shot.And Ranse still couldn't make the shot when it mattered....
They played a close game with PSU on ThursdayI’m sure it’s already been stated…but have we really played 2 games SINCE tOSU has played most recently?
Gotta really focus on the 2 point game. I see tired legs by the end of it.
Please someone correct me and tell me tOSU isn’t sitting on a week of rest and I simply overlooked a game during the week.
What is the farthest the team use a bus for instead of flying? I understand flying to Columbus and other cities just curious what the length of drive warrants flying

I'd think anything outside of 3.5 - 4 hours, but that's just a guess. That would mean bus to UW, NU, IU, Iowa, and PU. Columbus is about 4.5 hours driving.What is the farthest the team use a bus for instead of flying?

That is about right. I believe they fly to Madison when playing there.I'd think anything outside of 3.5 - 4 hours, but that's just a guess. That would mean bus to UW, NU, IU, Iowa, and PU. Columbus is about 4.5 hours driving.
We bus to NW, Purdue and Indiana and fly everywhere else.I'd think anything outside of 3.5 - 4 hours, but that's just a guess. That would mean bus to UW, NU, IU, Iowa, and PU. Columbus is about 4.5 hours driving.
I am truly interested to hear Jay Wright's insight and comments about our beloved. I respected him as a coach and one of the classier guys in the game.
And feed the dancing bear.
Todays game depends which team shows up. Drive the damn ball !!!
