2019 Ohio State Season Thread

[Brutus Buckeye]

I'm usually out west for Thanksgiving, and have grown accustomed to watching THE GAME first thing in the morning.

Apparently no Deondre Francois for FAU

I don't understand the idea of doing "something" other than watching college football on a fall Saturday

Huh?  Are you saying there are actual real people who do something else?

Well are they actually real people if they are doing something else?

[Cincydawg]

Not to me.  It's like folks who get married in the fall on a Saturday.  They are dead to me.

Meanwhile, my good friend who is a huge Buckeye fan is cautiously optimistic about the QB situation, even the backups.  If folks will understand that Fields will make an occasional mistake they should be very happy with him, but he's certainly a large story line this season.

Is Jacob Eason primed to start for UW?

HA!Went to an October wedding 3yrs ago,they were already dead to me then I found out no TV at all during the Reception.I'm not a picky eater but the fillet mignon was well done and tasted like it had been frozen and thawed more than once.Evidently they're trying a temporary seperation now.Screw it I told Cindy unless it's a blood relative I'm mailing $50.00  not to bother me on game day.Relative - they'll get $100.00....and like it

I am a high school football official in Arizona, so my Friday's are occupied in the fall. So what happens, my son decided to get married on a Friday night this coming September back in Ohio and another one of my sons is getting married next October on a Saturday, again back in Ohio. 

The one that is getting married in September told me his intended wanted a fall weddings, so I asked him to at least make it on a weekend that Ohio State is playing at home, so I could drive up there on the Saturday for a game. So what weekend is it? The one where Ohio State will be in Nebraska. Kids, you think you raised them right.

Gotta get up at 7, sneak in a run or trip to the farmers market. 

Granted, I'm getting to old to stay up till 3 for Pac-12.

I have two this year and have to fly to them. Thank god I love these people and the friend groups they're part of.

You might want to try that Ancestry thing - just sayin'

Feel I heard somewhere Fox trying to move their biggest games to noon.  I don't hate noon, preferable to a night game, but 3:30 is my favorite time.  Get a good warmup game before the main event.

Ya usually haven't had too many beers by then.As I recall that classic M vs Sparty last second block punt was at 3:30.Remember there were a few of us in SOC thread watching it live.Man was MDot livid cursing the almighty

How much of the OSU season hinges on Justin Fields?  I figure the worst they can do is 10-2 (barring some weird breakdown or injuries galore).

Fields could well have a terrible game and lose to say Nebraska or Penn State.  Maybe he has two and they lose TG to go 9-3 which would be quite disappointing.  But perhaps he does "pretty well overall, has no real meltdowns, they should get to 10-2, or better.  And there is a decent chance he is quite good, or at least able to "manage the game and limit mistakes".  Getting into the right play call is obvious a good thing.

A month or so ago my daughter announced that her and her boyfriend had decided to get married. She stated that it would be a fall wedding but reassured me that it would be during an Ohio State bye week. She set the date of October 3, 2020. She has my blessing.

You've done well N.O.B.
