Best Of

Speaking of low bars

What of the few things that gave me enjoyment with the overall scene today was the ridiculousness of some of the Buckeye fans and what seems to happen when you become basically and NFL fanbase of a college team. What I'm talking about:

-Walking out of the tunnel at the end of the game and seeing a grown ass man in a Buckeye Telletuby costume passed out cold against the wall on the concourse

-Guy in my section doing Woody Hayes cosplay. Hat, glasses, tie, shirt. He also seemed to carry himself with this weird air of seriousness.

-The like 8 guys who were "Tophat" wearing like Buckeye top hates with different numbered jerseys like Tophat 1, 2, etc. I saw them walking around the parking lot well after the game still wearing their hates. None were under 50.

I am not envious of this shit.

Penn state sucks and Allar is ass. Ohio state may not be very good. Bad news is… UW isn’t that good and they’re fake tuff

@Joey had a profound comment during the pod. He said, "We need a head coach who cares more about the program than we do."

I know you love the malarkey but Sark loses this game by 30. Go back and look at his scores against top 10 Oregon or Stanford. The plungers were real and painful. I was there. This game was not that. This was a bunch of freshman and sophomores getting pushed around in the second half by a talented roster recruited and developed over years. Oregon will probably be number 1 or number 2 when they cum to town. If by then Judd can't figure out a way to score TD's against them then maybe Chun needs to have a conversation about play calling with Fish. Need to see growth by this offense between now and then or I may jump off the fence I'm sitting on.

The Stadium looked just like when Oregon cums to town. There were about 12,000 guys in red there, about what I thought it would be. It was loud, my ears are still ringing. The 40-45,000 Husky fans that make noise every week were still there with maybe another 10,000 extra Dawg fans to add some extra sound and 5000 blue hairs that can't even bother to clap. Ohio always brings the fans. All our Duck posters said they did the same in Eugene last year. You guys intimating it wasn't loud or that the Buckeye fans were just as loud are salty, doomsaying and you're flat wrong. It wasn't quite as loud as 2023 Oregon but the home team didn't give us as much to cheer for either. This atmosphere was so far and above anything Fish saw at Arizona that I'm sure he's dying to get away from the jet flyovers and the ear damage. Fuck outta here with that nonsense.

Nailed it. The game was lost in the first half. The penalty meltdown on the second drive felt like it was pulled straight out of a Sark game, and our playcalling in the red zone was fucking horrendous. The fake FG was quite possibly the worst executed trick play I’ve ever seen. When OSU scored at the end of the first half, I knew the game was over. If I hadn’t seen the game and you told me the defense gave up 24 points and the offense didn’t turn the ball over, I’d have taken that in a heartbeat and assumed we? won. The defense gave the offense every opportunity in the first half to build a lead, and Fisch absolutely pissed that away.

Both of those and the roughing the passer penalty were godawful. Even the CBS guys were confused. Gary Danielson was like "no warning?"

Which of course I then responded with, "just gone."

lulz

Faggot!

I think @YellowSnow started a thread asking posters to put up a gif of how they felt about UW’s chances against tOSU. This ^^ was mine. UW was getting way too much hype against tOSU. I didn’t think UW was gonna win because tOSU has way too much talent.

After watching the game, that’s definitely true but UW is night and day better than last years team. That’s like saying you’re the tallest midget for sure but it’s an improvement. I kept wondering how last years team would look yesterday.

Is UW a top 25 team this year? Possibly but that’s up to Fisch. If he’s a great coach, UW wins 10 games. If he’s good, they win 9. Anything less than 9 and he needs to go.
