I'd say "may the better team win"

but I don’t mean that.

Here’s to Michigan-Ohio State being the undercard today. I think we can all drink to that.

To the victor goes the Borg Cube of football trophies . . .

Missing my first big game in 3 years today

Not since Wisconsin 05 have I missed a game of significance. However, I have an excuse. Bethel Park is playing for the AAAA WPIAL title today at Heinz Field. Go Hawks!

I'm just glad

They put the meaningless games on early so that we can watch some real football later.

You know your game is meaningless when it’s not even one of TEN possible pick ’em choices…

Why is the OSU in on offense?

Oh wait, that’s Pryor…and he’s throwing the ball. Nice hangtime though.

is anyone on tOSU's staff

interested in COACHING this Pryor kid at all? Or do they just think his “natural athletic ability” will allow him to dominate the Big Ten for the next 4 years?

I need to vent.

Has anyone seen this goddamn Vizio commercial where LaDanian Tomlinson and the Vizio AAU squad is tearing apart a team with dark blue jerseys and white helmets? It is ridiculous and offensive and very preachy about poor tackling fundamentals which everyone knows we are solid on. And a huge stud linebacker WITH THE NUMBER THIRTY ONE absolutely whiffing on game-deciding goal line stand? All I’ve learned from this commercial is that Vizio employs a ton of bitter Ohio State fans.

I hope we tear apart Michigan State.

Wow

How ‘bout the announcers drool over Laura a little more? Wow, he hit the QB after he got rid of the ball!! Congrats, you almost got there on a blitz. You’re now equivalent to Josh Hull.

no, it was his “heir apparent” … jesus.

Laura will get credited for a solo tackle anyways

Nice gang tackle there

Is it an unwritten rule that if there are multiple tacklers on the play, assisted credit MUST be given to Laura?

you have missed a limp DickRod offense and Laurinitis has like 70 tackles for loss and 12 or 15 sacks and I think he has both touchdowns
