Hope we get Campion back for this game, we struggled at LT with him and Lauer out. Persig needs to stay on the right side.

This game was clearly an opportunity lost. I appreciate the fact that the program has progressed to the point that we can be pissed off at not beating the #2 team in the country, but at some point they have to take that next step and win some of those big games, This was a signature win waiting to happen and they failed to seize the opportunity.


All we're left with after this game is to become big TCU fans now, hope they run the table the rest of the way so by December people will look back and say a 23-17 to those guys was pretty good. But yes a win would have been so much better.

Still as high as I am on Minnesota this year I did not expect them to play within 6 points of TCU. We may have held TCU to the least points they score this year.

Kill teams get better as the season goes on and I think the defense will be pretty darn tough. The offense will take more time as you don't immediately replace talent like Cobb and Williams.

He certainly comes across as likable and humble, doesn't he?
Could you imagine Meyer and Calipari in the same room?
No doubt, they are very good at what they do, but my goodness, somebody needs to remind them (daily) that they are just men.

It seems (based on posts in other threads) I am one of the few in here that hasn't already crowned the Buckeyes as Champions.

I would love to take the field against OSU winning the championship.

The weak state of the conference may actually hurt them.

In a word ... yes. Guys like Urban Meyer can always dig deep and show you unprecedented levels of arrogance. It's like Olympic weight lifters. They always break records by a lb. They never just blow it away. That way they can continue to amaze you with their continuous record breaking. Meyer is the same way. He is consistently just a little bit more of an insufferable dick than he was the last time you saw him. All the while holding plenty more in reserve.

Sergey Bubka was the absolute master at that.

Broke the world record for men's pole vault 35 times.
