"reportedly"

I have seen it on a number of sights and read blog from OSU insiders. 

It also makes total sense.  Why would you doubt it?

I doubt any report with that term, or attributed to "anonymous officials".  They may be true, but often are not, or are out of context, or somehow flawed in other respects.

And of course once a report appears once, it gets picked up by many other sites and repeated.

I think I'll wait until I hear the details before I try to make some kind of moral equivalence argument with what Sparty did in Michigan's tunnel.

I'd much rather discuss footbal but C'mon knock off the sanctimonius smack - 3 fights in a year there and one common denominator - Michigan mixing it up with opponents. You obviously didn't see the video with Greene and his helmet in his hand M***** F****** Spartans right up to their locker room door.Then the video goes off and mysteriously comes back on when the Spartans are retaliating. Gemon Green was assaulted so badly he played the next week. Michigan threatening libel the whole time their Administration knew about UZI Mazi Smith,just stop.

I think Michigan beats Purdue handily, 37-16.

I keep hearing how there's a healthy contingent of those involved in how this 12 team comes together that are going to work hard to kill off any 'home games'.      that ain't cool but I can see how that will happen, no different than Pac scrapping a home ccg.

why in the hell would they discourage attendance?

host cities are gonna have a say

are these all going to be "neutral" sites?

nothing on campus?

morons!!!

I suspect the home field thing will be retained (for a time anyway).  We could see some games played at fields like Wake Forest or Cincy in time.

It's interesting to note the top four would not get any shot at another home game.  It's also interesting to note if UGA wins tomorrow, they will get to play in the Georgia, er, MB, dome, down the road a bit, again.

Michigan should win handily.  My hope is that no more injuries are sustained.  And I have a sliver of hope Corum makes it back for the bowl game.



Go Blue!

Orange Bowl.  Versus ACC champ

This.

Rose Bowl vs USC would be interesting for tOSU fans but that can't happen because if USC beats Utah they go to the CFP instead and if Utah beats USC then Utah would go to the Rose Bowl and Ohio State wouldn't be available anyway because they'd be in the CFP.

Orange Bowl vs ACC Champion Clemson is the most interesting non-CFP matchup for tOSU fans.

depends on what kind of knee surgery it is. like if it's a mensiscus surgery pretty sure he could be back in 4-6 weeks. there has been no word on what the knee surgery is.
