Did the "other" tOSU guy (LeBron) make a Freudian slip on Urbie's behalf when he said "I blew a casket" with an outburst Saturday night vs. Golden State? Bigger B1G question this week should be, Is James (The renowned hot assistant coaches' wives recruiter) Franklin coaching for his job against Sparty? He ain't coached for much of nothing in the Nittany Valley up to now...
Ohio State vs Michigan State
- Thread starter RollTideMang
- Start date
Yesterday I was watching "Hey Coach" when CNS was telling of the 1998 MSU/OSU game in which he was coaching the MSU team. OSU went into the game ranked #1 in the country, as they had been all year. MSU was unranked and was 4-5 going into the game. He had been talking to the team psychologist and was told to quit looking at the whole game but to look at one play at a time. "Try to concentrate on one play at a time. Beat them one play at a time, then the next play, then the next." He relayed this to the team, and they did just that. They upset OSU 28-25, and he's used that same "process" ever since.
As I was watching the MSU/OSU game yesterday, I thought, "Ohio State is getting Processed."
:biggrin:

OSU this year reminds me a bit of us in 2010. We were defending champs with a ton of returning talent, but we seemed to play more as individuals who were starting to think about making money in the pros than as a team on a mission to win a championship. If OSU played in the SEC, I'm guessing they would have more than one loss this year. We never should have lost three games in 2010, but we did. Ironically, OSU finally lost this year to MSU; whereas, we probably played our best game in 2010 against MSU and absolutely crushed them. This once again shows that it is easier to get to the top than to stay there. I'm glad Coach Saban has stayed with us and kept us on top.
Yeah, as soon as they won I had an epiphany. I don't think OK makes it out of Stillwater alive anyway.

Guys (and girls),
I owe you and Parker an apology. When I first read the comments about Elliott, I thought he made them on TWITTER. Had a lot going on and didn't pay close attention to the details here (was educating my son on his first trip out tonight about why you don't take your cell phone by the gas pump - he wasn't listening so I pulled up a video of a fire with a cell phone; I hope I got his attention). That's no excuse but I didn't notice it was a VERBAL INTERVIEW.
Obviously there is no comparison whatsoever between the petulant and juvenile remarks of Ezekiel Elliott and a backup expressing confidence (as well as frustration) on Twitter. Hopefully, someone explained to Elliott last night how terrible he looked and he will man up and apologize and say, "Look, I was frustrated and we lost everything - tip your hat to Michigan State for playing a great game."
Otherwise, I have to agree with those saying Urban has lost the team. My apologies for a misplaced comparison, please note it was not intentional (and btw - that's still no excuse on my part, I just messed up).

Hahahahahaha*Thanks to another poster on another site but this is so funny I had to share:
Urban Meyer post-game interview
The media can't wait to jump all over this, which pleases me greatly: http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/ncf/st...s-put-college-football-playoff-hopes-jeopardy
My only comment on the reaction of Zeke is my disappointment. Grow up.
As for the rest - Cardale and Zeke were both gone after the season no matter the outcome of the year. These announcements surprised no one and will change nothing.
Now thinking about the game with UM and am stoked as always. Love rivalry weekend.
Go Bucks!

No idea, but probably not. He has not been very productive this season. JT simply has not been the same player sincehis arrest. But the stats are pretty clear. MSU beat us badly yesterday. Our only points came off of MSU turnovers. Without them we would have been shut out.
Maybe his power running up the middle and his ability to stretch the defense would have been the difference. It was the difference against us. That big body running up the middle opened things up for Zeke imo.
Mark Schlabach writes, "Somehow, it took us 12 weeks to figure out the Buckeyes aren't really that good."
Nope. Not me. One reason I don't give credence to who the writers think are good and not good. If he thought Ohio State was really good after skimming by that cupcake schedule, I question his football IQ.

I agree. Only the delusional among our fan base remained unworried. Our defense has played well, but not great, while our offense has been a hot mess all season. Just when we looked to be settling in, JT got arrested. Killed that momentum and confidence.
I have been and will remain an optimist whenever we take the field, but we had too many question marks going into yesterday's game for me to have any confidence.
I remember before the season got started we had someone suggest Bama would be in a better position to make a title run if we could get the backup qb from Ohio state to transfer to Bama. I argued Bama would do fine without him.
That article referred to Urban's "dynasty" three different times...:biggrin:
I thought to qualify as a dynasty you had to sustain success, not just achieve it.
