As an TOSU alum and casual Buckeye football fan, I must admit to deriving pleasure in seeing Dabo fall. Still I cannot phantom how a team that struggled with a weak Big 10 schedule could rise to the occasion.
Why do you want Dabo to fall? Iām not a fan of either team but Dabo seems to be a good guy.
BTW. Only redeeming value of OSU........Jack Nicklaus went there. š
You derive pleasure from seeing Dabo fall? What on earth is wrong with Dabo, seems like a good guy to me. I’m biased to favor people that are outspoken Christian family men, so maybe there is something there I’ve missed.
It's hard to make much sense of this year's regular season comparisons because of all the cancelled games and waves of players missing games because of positive COVID tests. That said, peering as best we can through the COVID funhouse mirror, I'm not sure it's accurate to say the Big Ten had a down year. The disturbance in the force is that both Michigan and Penn State had trainwreck seasons, while Indiana (Indiana!) was actually good. (Penn State will be back soon; Michigan, maybe not, but that's another story.) This year, IU, Wisconsin, Northwestern and of course Ohio State are all legitimate top 10 caliber teams. Wisconsin thumped Wake Forest 42-28. Northwestern whipped Auburn 35-19. Indiana with Michael Penix healthy was a threat to beat anyone. They lost Penix late in the season; without him, they out-Wisconsined Wisconsin to end the season, winning that game in the trenches with an untested backup qb. We'll see how the Hoosiers do today, but they're a good team missing a very dynamic quarterback.
Indiana and Texas A&M both got shafted on bowl games. Notre Dame had no business in the playoffs after being crushed by Clemson in the ACC title game. Once again, for the umpteenth time, college football needs an eight team playoff, and NO conference runners-up should be included. If you can't win your league, you stay home. If that means the conferences that have bulked up to two-division television marketing combines have to slim back down to traditional conference size, fine. That's overdue. All the power conferences should play a full round robin, with the winner going to the playoffs. Period. That would leave three spots in the playoffs for the best from the smaller conferences and independents. (Notre Dame would probably again go independent.) Taking a Notre Dame team that had just been brutally exposed while leaving A&M out was a joke. Slotting three loss teams into major bowls ahead of 6-1 Indiana, which gave Ohio State its only real test so far this year, was a joke. The people running college football continue to beclown themselves. They're all about the television dollar, nothing else.
You have no idea at all do you!
Only played 6 games?
Not worn out or torn up....
