WI even at the state level (house and senate) has volleyed back and forth for a few generations.  Rs have had more years in control of Gov since 84, opposite of Presidential vote in WI.  I'd guess at the Presidential level they've had 4 of the closest 15 results nationally as a % of votes cast since 2000, despite being Red every time but once since 1984.

I'd like to order that chart Medina, please.

Interestingly, I can’t quote Nubbz’ last post.It didn't stop you from starting in on me in the 1st place,so by all means continue.

but if we can’t agree that at points OSU fans raged about Pryor, Miller and Jones spraying balls and called for JT to replace Jones in 2015 or Guyton to replace Miller in whatever year that was, we just won’t see eye to eye. I was never bitching about Pryor, Miller and Jones - where ever that came from.So direct that to your phantom fanboys here or where ever.

I yield. JT playing cost OSU two made up alternate universe titles. He should be remembered as the failure he was. If only he could’ve been what we imagine Burrow three years ago was. Oh you yield - then proceed to turn an assinine assumption into an astute observation.Go find those quotes,Ill wait,I simply pointed out the need to platoon/substitute maybe replace.So if something isn't working don't dare to take creative/corrective measures to perhaps get the desired results - is that your take?After the 31-0 white washed waxing Urban still handed the job right back to a lobber.With Joe Burrow & Dwayne Haskins waiting in the wings.The beat writers,reporters,bloggers and season ticket holders never noticed this at all.It was just that morose,misguided yapping jackel NUBBZ on the media back waters that questioned the head coach,gotcha.

(I’ll admit, understanding OSU football in some ways through the message board posts of OSU fans does feel a little like taking drugs. Thanks for the high, I guess? I’m impressed how mad that part made you)I'm mad?Don't flatter yourself,you wanted an argument - ya got one,stop acting appalled.I've come to the realization that you are the same guy that thought I came down too hard on John Cooper for beating Michigan twice in 13 years.Ya unreasonable Buckeye Fans.Strange they are 16-2 vs that same team since he was terminated,Michigan Fans get that.I don't demand perfection far from it but when excellence is within reach pull out the damn stops

Good stuff, @medinabuckeye1 

Unfortunately I'm not going to touch it with a 10-foot pole. So much of the analysis makes me want to talk about the reasons 2016 is such an outlier, and it's impossible to do that and keep this place above board. 

So kudos on the data, but I'm bowing out on that front.

I guess this isn't the thread to joke around.  Thanks.

I thought my physics joke was pretty funny.
I did too.  Enough so that I posted it on another board.
But it did not cover you in glory.
Or maybe it did for a moment.  But all glory is fleeting.

Sigh. Nubbz, let’s stop this. Your anger toward how OSU did it’s thing is reasonable, and you’re not mad at me. 

Done and done.

@bayareabadger the reason you can't quote the last quote is I have nested quotes turned off... recall the old page where there would be page after page of quotes inside quotes inside quotes?  yeah... selfish, I know, but that drove me crazy.   The downside is if someone quotes someone else and then enters text into the quote in response, it won't be able to be quoted because the system see's it as a 'nested quote'.  

I got a report from this thread... seems some figure it to be coming off the rails?  Every time i see that i automatically go to Area 51... but not this time.  I went there and nuthin' (well, 'nothing' being relative there), and came back to the report to see the B1G was sideways? Oh hell no... this is the best and purest CFB conference site on all the interwebz- ranking #1~#4 on google for "Big Ten Message Board"... this doesn't happen here!!! 

I love the passion, fellers.  all because of a game we all love.   don't forget that, y'all, as it's a game that drags us together and something we can debate within the reasons of our own perspectives.  

an aside- tOSU is playing about as tight as any team i can recall... ever... Bama dropped out of the #1 spot and rightfully so.  LSU is damn good. I don't think they're good enough to beat tOSU.  you know what they don't have?  Meyer- who had an outright peerless talent at not only preparing a team, but keeping them focused.  I recall pre-Meyer, in the year of 1998... tOSU was a shoe in to play in the MNC... and lost to MSU DO WHA??? ... that was one badarse D, and they let the Spartans win.  Well, they didn't 'let' them, MSU played their butts off.. but.. it was tOSU's to lose.  they did.  Because they did, we saw the sloppiest MNC game of the BCS era- UT/FSU... and a game where i can't help but think wasn't the best teams playing... well, FSU anyway... :) 

if they keep it on track and focused, i just don't see them losing this season.

Yeah, I figured that out after second. Probably for the best.

Ohio State looks to be very very good, to me.  AS noted, mobile QBs are often a feature of NC level teams.
