THE Ohio State University 30 - Michigan 27 2 OT: Playoff Chaos???
ESPN ^ | November 26, 2016 | Me

Posted on 11/26/2016 1:08:26 PM PST by C19fan

Game lived up to the hype. Some thoughts:

Michigan gave up 14 points on turnovers.

Michigan's defense ran out of gas in the 4th quarter.

THE Ohio State University might actually prefer Penn State to beat Michigan State. Penn State will play in the Big 10 = 14 Conference game instead of THE Ohio State University. In this case, THE Ohio State University has punched their ticket the playoff.

Hated THE Ohio State University wearing the all black helmets.

I think Woody’s favorite presidents were Truman and Nixon. He introduced Reagan at a campaign stop in ‘84.

Agreed, see prior post.

OSU was outplayed, UM was the far better team, and anyone who was not an OSU fan saw that. If not for the officiating, they never go to overtime. If not for the officiating, Michigan would have had a first down inside the OSU ten in ot # 2; on the OSU possession, if not for the officiating, they go to overtime # 3.

Not fake and the image you post is slightly after the time image I posted and after Barret reached forward progress and was pushed back. You can tell it's a different point in time by comparing the right arm of number 88. This video once slowed down shows number 88's right arm coincident with your image after Barret is starting to be pushed back. ie 88's arm swinging down and to the right matches the time Barret is pushed back. Use youtube's option to set the speed to 0.25 and start at 33 seconds which is when the broadcast also slows the video down. Very clearly you can see Barret is pushed back after he reaches forward progress, then when the right arm swings down, that is when your image happens.

Even better footage here. J.T. is carrying the ball under the right side of his chin - other footage shows this. At the 7 second portion of this video, you can see the tip of the football poking out from under his right arm and clearly over the line. First down!

It's a real image you posted in that it was a pic taken at the time, but the reason I called it fake was simple, just look at the yard markers, the original photo shows just how angled they are, your picture had it photoshopped to distort that fact. The yard markers in the original photo show that your pic was taken from more than five yards back, which distorts what happened. Mine was down the line.

If you watch the video, OSU players nearby are despondent, they knew, while UM players were jubilant, they knew as well.

As I said to another poster, only OSU partisans who watched that game think that OSU was the better team, most everyone else who watched knows better.

Sad, but true.

That being said, I am sadder for the situation that happened yesterday on the OSU campus. That was something far more significant and sobering than a football game. Best of luck to all OSU students and grads on handling the horror of what took place.

Thanks for your comments about the attack yesterday. My son and I are both closely associated with the OSU Marching band (son 2005-2009 and me 76-80). One of the people injured yesterday, and I think the most seriously injured is a current marching band member. As a matter of fact, he is in the same section that my son was in during his time. the young man suffered a broken ankle and a skull fracture. Good news is that he is expected to make a full recovery. I also think there’s more to the story as a fire alarm went off just a few minutes before the beginning of the attack - too coincidental. The suspicion is that the alarm was set to bring more people to the area where the planned attack was to take place. The implication being that more than one person was involved. Who knows? We may never know.

Oh and I should also mention there was a facebook posting made by UM yesterday with twitter comments from some of the UM players, coaches ... etc. Some of the comments echoed yours about “more important than a game.” Very classy. I reposted it to the appreciation of many fellow Buckeyes.

I just noticed this now. Ped State? Serious? As if the current players and coaches had anything to do with. You’re shameful.

You’re trying to shame me for a post from TWO YEARS AGO. The “Ped State” chide was common after the Paterno mess and everyone knew that it did NOT mean everyone there were pedophiles - only that the school covered this up for at least a decade because of the harm it might do to recruiting, etc.

You’re obviously not adult enough to handle a political posting site.
