2019 Ohio State Season Thread

Thanks @Brutus Buckeye , that was fun to watch!

My analysis of B1G HFA from @ELA 's countdown thread for tOSU:

Ohio State:  The Buckeyes have the misfortune of having to play the next best team on the road.  That substantially reduces Ohio State's CCG chances but there are still several ways to overcome that.  First, Ohio State hasn't lost to Michigan since the Luke Fickell year so we can't completely discount the chances that the Buckeyes will simply win in Ann Arbor.  Second, Michigan has two challenging road games (@UW in September and @PSU in October).  If the Wolverines lose those then Ohio State would clinch a berth prior to THE GAME if they can get there at 8-0.

Any glaring omissions by your estimation?

I didn't notice any. 

My favorites were the plays involving Gonzo, he is now my Congressman.  I've worked a few events with him.

OSU acquires another QB transfer from aTm.

Deondre Francois transferring to FAU makes the opener a lot more interesting than it has any right to be.

Who?

FSU's true freshman QB phenom from 2016 who got booted after Taggart arrived. I think it was from a domestic violence accusation, though it could have been many things since he and Taggart seemed to clash often and early. Anyway, DF is notches above FAU's standard QB grade, making the season opener v Lane Kiffin suddenly noteworthy.

Some times announced. First three games and Michigan are noon kicks. MSU is 7:30 and NW 8:30. Hopefully the rest are my preferred time, 3:30

OSU vs. TTUN is a noon tradition, that I am surprised hasn't at least made the jump to 3:30. For the amount of money FOX paid for that game alone, why are showing when the left coast is still hitting the snooze button? (7/8pm start is a hard sell with weather, but both stadiums have lights, and 7:00pm end isn't enough time to allow that much of a temp drop.)

I've emailed Gene and encourage others to do the same, asking to have uniforms return to the tradition ones for The Game. I'm ok with alternates, use them for the Big OOC, and for PSU, and/or whoever from the West. But it just burns me up watching the highlight reals of M*ch playing all these rando teams, I mean Buckeye alternates.

I don't know if Fox is abandoning direct competition with ESPN or not, but the 12:00 Eastern Time slot gets Fox's premium game this year.

“The Game” as it’s called- always played at noon. I think it’s only not been at noon maybe in the single digits. And they’ve been playing that one for like 100 years.

The Game would benefit by going to 7:30 PM in terms of eyeballs.
