Let me start this by saying that the majority of Ohio State fans that I've seen are giving us proper respect. For example:
And now, on to the fun:
Just hurt someone
We're just a better class of people here in Columbus
Gonna be a walk in the park, folks
Living in the past

All I can say is the ND team the Buckeyes are facing on Saturday is vastly superior to the one that came into the Shoe last September.
Buckeyes will need to be at their best to win this one.
And now, on to the fun:
Just hurt someone
Screw the Irish.
The Buckeyes have to be dialed in, and violent.
We need the Chips and Chops and Steeles and Tommys and the Proctors and Igbinosen's and the Joshs and Joshs to go in there with BAD INTENTIONS and beat them senseless.
Then the Treyveon's and the Kyles and the Emekas and the Marvins and the Gees can slice and dice their sorry butts.
Not a fan of Freeman. Really hope OSU takes it to em on Saturday.
Suck it Domer!
We're just a better class of people here in Columbus
Just want to add, no one needs to bother taking the high road with Freeman. I think by and large we all really did a nice job and gave him his flowers going into the season and always gave him his due as a former Buckeye, and then he threw all the shade he could and kept putting his foot in his mouth regarding his time at OSU, OSU fans, the program and etc.
Lest we forget come Saturday, he may have been a buckeye, but he has to get his ass beat like the rest of them.
Domers are going down along with those players not capable of finding a starting spot on the Ohio State roster, or transfer in from Podunk U to try and bail the flighty Freemans out.
Hartman a six year college QB...didn't know great QB's stayed in college for SIX years.
hehehehe transfers a DE that couldn't start here, a QB who played in the ACC?
I'm already sick of 'Hartman is an experience QB' So effing what. He's won 2 games against ranked opponents in his career. Is that going to help him on Saturday? No. We've faced experience QBs before. This is not a new thing for our defense. We will be ready.
Gonna be a walk in the park, folks
Not ready to make a prediction beyond the Buckeyes are going to roll. All the National doubters are going to have to come up with a new patch phrase to somehow weave a new narrative for why the Buckeyes aren't ranked higher.
If the Silver Bullets can limit ND's run game, the Buckeyes should roll. Hartman is an excellent QB, but ND's receiver corps is just okay. You could argue that Hartman had better WRs at Wake Forest (A.T. Perry was drafted in 6th round in 2023 by New Orleans and made their roster). I see ND's receivers having a hard time getting open against Ohio State's DBs and that includes their TE Staes going against Sonny Styles.
This is nothing but hype, hype, hype...Bucks will win this game comfortably.
ND will have to blitz to get pressure... watch for Day to unveil the RB screens this week. It's a bad week to be a Leprachaun.
I expect a Buckeye win! We will get more pressure on their QB than anyone else this season, despite the lack of sacks so far.
I wouldn't call [Hartman] an advantage, but their QB play was so bad last year, I'd say it was an upgrade. IMO, however, it won't be enough of one--Buckeyes by double digits.
Irish say all the right things.
Irish wear the mystical green jerseys.
Irish come out fired up and play the game of their life.
Bucks by 20.
[I responded to this one, as follows]
Hey man, this is almost a haiku. Let's see:
Say all the right things.

I think Freeman's mindset plays right into Ohio State's hands. Rather than IU and YSU's mentality, which was to minimize the carnage and run the clock at all costs. I'm expecting a game similar to WKU, except not quite as high scoring, because the Fig Things have players with more talent and athletic ability. Still won't be close.
Smells like a leprechaun is going to get his ass whipped to me.
I hate to be the wet blanket, but this win over ND this weekend is not going to give us the bump we need. It’s hard to believe that ND is sitting at #9 after going 4-0 thus far. After we beat them, they’ll probably drop down to #20 or something. ... If they’re not dropping Georgia, FSU, TTUN, or TX after their games, and they’re not bumping us after ours, we could be in for a long season. At WORST we’re the #4. But #6? That’s disgraceful.
Living in the past
Knute Rockne called he wants you to win one for the Gipper...the last time they were relevant (sorry Lou Holtz)
1.) Lizzie Seeberg
2.) Declan Sullivan
3.) Lives in the past more than any other program on Earth
4.) Just like us, ain't played nobody Pawwwl
5.) Aren't they still cutting checks to Charlie Weiss?
While I have some nerves for this game, history dictates that ND once again falls on their face when the lights shine. GO BUCKS!
ND has some talented players. However, this is ND. They haven’t beaten the world famous Buckeyes since 1936. After Saturday, it will still be since 1936.
The battle up front that we can win: our interior DL against their guards. Happened last year and can happen again.
The religious angle
**** this "independent" school and their overinflated importance. I will never understand why my Irish Catholic friend roots for them outside of Ohio State. It'd be like me cheering on Yeshiva University would they have fielded a once great football just because I grew up Jewish, and not even Orthodox? I don't get it. He didn't go there; he went to Ohio State and witnessed greatness. His wife isn't even a Notre Dame alumna. Makes no sense.
I'll be praying for a down right slaughtering of Touchdown Jesus and his followers. I know that sounds bad after typing and rereading my statement, but screw it. We know they're not all that religious over there anyhow
[I had to respond to this one]
Jesus doesn't mind. If available accounts are to be believed, someone tried to slaughter him 2000 years ago and it didn't work out too well.
