Officiating in Ohio St. games...

[Bombs]

I have never seen a team get so many obscenely horrible calls go there way. I thought the NCSU game was enough of a gift for one season, but the zebras followed up with an absurd gem today.

First, that blatant PI no call with PSU driving. How could they not have called that?

Then, the phantom catch (drop) on the critical 3rd and 3 on the final drive. That call broke PSU's back. I have never seen anything more ridiculous.

will have to endure another week of talk radio in ohio with the annoying ohio state people.

the bucks and their fans are playing the "we get no respect but keep winning" card.

its very trite.
they keep winning, but those called DIRECTLY affected the outcome. they both came on 3rd down, which clearly affects a drive. if those bad calls were on 1st or 2nd, they dont affect a gm as much. but 3rd down and 2 hideous calls? psu deserved beter, especially the way they laid it on the line today

Gman, just ask 'em how they did in Madison a couple weeks back.

 

[Iminforabuck]

I completely agree. Am a buckeyes fan, and actually felt bad for Joe Pa today

 

[The Big Tease]

blah blah blah.........keep crying! And we will keep winning! After Miami falls tonight we will be in the drivers seat for a trip to Louisiana! I was hoping this would happen. I love it when we play bad and win....it just makes my heart warm. LOL! GO BUCKS!

Like OSU is going to leapfrog FSU and USC. Keep dreaming I guess. But I must say OSU keeps winning the close ones, I am impressed. Without Krenzel they still got it done.

HORNS

 

[Iminforabuck]

I love it when we play bad and win

Dont take this the wrong way....cause I love the Bucks the same as you do......but I'm not sure the bucks played all that bad of a game today. Penn State was up for it big time....and this is no way shape or form the same....or even close to the same team as last year.

But thats just my opinion......and like elbows and ass*holes:moon: .....everybodys got one

tease:

whens the last time you walked away from an ohio state game and said "damn....that team was impressive today?"

i can name you ONE game this year. ONE. washington

last year, it was TWO GAMES. washington state and minnesota

three games in two years.
the criticism of the bucks isnt exactly unjustified.
hell, herbstreit is an alum and he regularly criticizes the terrible offense and running game.

 

[ND2002HORNS]

MSU will give OSU fits next week with their offense. Should be a great game and of course another close game.

HORNS

 

[gman2]

i actually disagree there horns. go figure - im lacing osu for lame play -- yet i think theyll handle msu next week. spartants dont want to play that physical game. osu will copy the michigan gameplan and try to bully msu and make it a physical game. purdue is the game that bucks could lose in my opinion, as well as the michigan game. bucks wont have a problem next week imo.

 

[Iminforabuck]

Where you from in the northeast portion gman?

iminforabuck:

west side suburb of cleveland. im a jaded clevelander. people in boston think theyve got it bad with the sox, but at least theyve had a team win something in another sport

 

[Bombs]

FWIW, I keep hoping OSU manages to win these games, to set up a reasonable line for the Michigan game. They are going to get beat, and possibly badly. Tressell has run his mouth for two years about how he wants to own Michigan. They were very fortunate last year. Michigan will expose that awful defensive backfield and OSU's offense will not do much against an improving and very fast Michigan defense. This Michigan team has really regained focus, and I think the Rose Bowl trip is theirs. Long way to go though to set up that showdown with Buckeyes still having Purdue and MSU on their dockett.

How about beating Miami Fla? I would consider that an impressive performance.

 

[Iminforabuck]

You got that right. I used to be a Browns season ticket holder at Municipal. Thank god for the flats and alcohol....cause I've been pretty heartbroken many times

 

[gman2]

hoops:

touche.
that was one of their few dog roles (maybe even their only dog role in the L2 yrs)
was referring more to a performance when theyre expected to win and they go out and dominate.
but to your point- you are correct.

i thin the problem with that one was...

i thin the problem with that one was...

the PI in the end zone. it was a gutsy and amazing performance, but i still don't think you walk away thinking osu wins that one more than once or twice every 10 times they line it up...but then again, who cares...they won the big one and that is all that matters. dominant? no. impressive? yes

i think that is what he is getting at and I agree. i also think that is evidenced by all here who had OSU and knew 13 or 14 was way too many.

either way, hope OSU gets pounded by big blue
