Predictions at OSU
- Thread starter ftnfan62
- Start date
Anyone that has visited that stadium (as we have) are well aware that fanbase is low rentI already posted this in another thread, but because our visitor continues to insist that every fan base is as bad as Ohio St.'s, it is worth posting again.
The president of Ohio St. had to apologize to Texas fans for the poor treatment they received in Columbus.
Ohio St.'s president received "several dozen complaints" from Texas fans.
I've been there. Ohio St. fans are the worst.
Wednesday roundup: OSU apologizes to Texas fans
News in brief from around college football.www.espn.com
Don't forget rookie coach.
I think it could end up in this range. I also think ND has a chance to keep it to about a 10-point difference. I'll be beyond surprised if we pull off the upset.
The posters on here have been hostile since I've joined the board, even though I've come here just to discuss the game. Maybe if some of the posters here were more welcoming from the start and actually enjoyed talking football.
Bashing last year's schedule, really? Who the hell did Notre Dame beat or even play last season?
ND is still a prized commodity in conference expansion, however I'm not begging for them to join a conference, I was just saying how much sense it made and how I think it'll happen. Don't get me wrong, I could care less if Notre Dame joined or not. Things are amazing in the conference WITHOUT Notre Dame. And I never said the ratings were poor, just that they were on par with the Big 10s second and third best games of every week, which is about where ND would be in the conference if they joined.
Things arent amazing in the Big. Things are amazing for the sec. You got work to do
The Big 10 and SEC are neck and neck for conference stability and prestige. I would say the health of the conference is better than ever right now
Of course they have, this is ND we're talking about! Graciousness and/or magnanimity are not on the menu. ND fans have always been pretty awful. Holier than thou, disdainful, humorless, delusional, etc, etc, etc..... And then the whole BK thing happened, and just sent them over the falls. And they were already pretty insufferable to begin with.
And I like flaming opposing fans, but I reserve that for when it's appropriate, or I try to. When it's more of a mutual thing. And if someone seems to want to talk football in a more straightforward way, there's no reason to be reflexively antagonistic. But the ND fan community is past that at this point. They're sort of universally hostile and defensive towards all points on the compass.
There are exceptions of course, they're not like that to a man.... but overall the ND fan world is really at a low, low ebb these days. So this season could be morbidly fascinating in that sense. Like if we really struggled and went 7-5. Which, quite frankly, might be the best thing that could happen to the ND fanbase. A nice good humbling.....
Right. You are on here with post after post after post because you don't care what happens. Gotcha.
I've gotten that from the fanbase on here that's for sure. Ohio State fans suck too don't get me wrong. The 2014 title really spoiled the fanbase.
The BK thing, that whole bizarro freakout... I don't even know what to call it, like mass hysteria or something. That was tough for me to take, I will admit. These last five years bar none were the greatest years of my life as a ND fan. And I've always really loved BK. So it was disappointing to say the least, that he became so reviled, and is now far and away the most hated coach in ND history. And he was already hated well before he left. And my strong personal theory as to WHY BK left, is not for the money, not for the 'challenge' of trying to take on Saban and compete in the mighty SEC. But more so because his position at ND was becoming untenable. And when he finally passed Rockne as the all-time winning coach, it was like there was this palpable resentment and loathing, that crossed some sort of threshold. And so he said F it, I'm out of here. Haters gonna hate, but you can't coach at a place like that.
And now we have pretty-boy Marcus Freeman to replace him, and while I'm sure ND's priggish higher-ups absolutely adore MF, who the hell knows if he can actually coach. We already had a great coach, who I was expecting to retire at ND, but they ran him out of town. The fans did at least....
In any case, that's my minority report take on the whole ND coaching upheaval of this past offseason.
Now you are whining. Discuss football without the digs at ND. I was able to post on a couple of rival boards without controversy because I stayed on topic, had a sense of humor and didn't insult their program.
Harlem has posted here for years. You dish it out and the regulars are going to reply in kind.
OSU...actually have a couple of cousins with MSU degrees.
Keys for the game: my key is Foskey. tOSU must control or contain Foskey to be consistent on offense.
If Foskey gets 3+ sacks and 6-10 hurries, then the tOSU offense will be in great trouble? A lot of recruiters passed on Foskey seeing him as a meh TE! He is making them regret it!

There you go again. You forgot you bragged about playing on the Rose Bowl against a 3 loss team? Lmfao
But actually, I am bashing your annual schedule. Always has 7-8 pancakes. Last year was typical
No
you first started on here about the Big10 and ND joining. You were an arrogant asshat then….now you are just a whining Sheila
asshat? is that one of those new Leftist genders? But now there was a gender mod to ‘Sheila’ ? Is that a new one too?
Exactly. Ohio St. has played a weak schedule almost forever. Harken back to the days of my youth when the Big 10 was commonly referred to as the Big 2 and Little 8. 'Nuff said.
Except I never started this shit. There's posters that follow me on any thread asking why I continue to come here and can't wait for me to leave.
OSU plays harder schedules than Notre Dame does. Played more ranked teams last year, will play more ranked teams this year.
Spare me the bullshit, 4 of our last 5 opponents last season were ranked at game time, for ND that number is ONE. Playing 5 ACC teams a year really drags your schedule down every season.
I, for one, can't wait for you to leave. You add zero to this board. You have done the following: (1) stated over and over why ND should join the Big 10, while at the same time denigrating ND's TV numbers and football program; (2) thumped your chest about how good the Ohio St. program is; and (3) essentially told everyone that ND will not be able to compete with Ohio St. tomorrow.
The other poster called you an "asshat." He was being kind.
This is yet another example of you being an asshat. You have come over here looking for trouble and you have found it. You are the one who posted that you don't care what I think. But yet you respond to virtually every one of my posts.
Cry a river, you've added nothing positive in talking about the football game. I said Ohio State is a good team, so what? Everyone in the nation is saying that this year, and many are saying they won't be able to compete and keep it close, it's not just me saying that, maybe step outside your bubble and you'll learn something.
I'm an ND fan and alum. I have been posting on this board for more than two decades. I think I can discern when a fan from another team is over here to cause trouble. I do not think I will learn anything from a fan of another school who is here just to thump his chest about how good his school is.
I certainly hope that we win but I just don't see it. I am just hoping we do not get blown out. A win would be program changing; but with a new coach on the road if the margin is less than 10 that will be a good showing.
Stop already. Posters from other schools come on the board all the time. Beach Cardinal is a big USC fan. Been posting a long time.
If ND has the kind of D we think that seems high. But, maybe our O is 3 and out all day and we
I can’t see OSU putting up that much on our D but hey, it’s your prediction.
Maybe the D gets a few scores on a new QB but I think Tommy if it starts to wind the D with some 3 and outs moves to the run to shorten the game.
Look, I’m ans ND homer and feel we got a chance. But reality is you have to spot them 7 for home and night. We got new coaches everywhere, new backs, new WR and new QB. There is so much to over come.
Its a tall order and Vegas has beautiful hotels because they don’t lose much. But the bucks where supposed to smoke Oregon and Michigan. We know how that ended. It’s CFB. Maybe Buch is unstoppable. Maybe OSU thinks they can just toss their jock out their against a very talented team and win like they did Oregon. Maybe they turn the ball over. Maybe we get a call or two like FSU did against us.
I just don’t see a win but I don’t think OSU covers and I don’t see anyone in the 40’s. Time will tell.
Notre Dame hasn't shown up in big games the last decade. That is how we are viewed. We need to change that narrative. If we can keep it close that is a win. A victory would be amazing.
Comon now most are predicting an OSU blow out. We need to change that, but that is the perception.
I don’t think OSU will blowout ND, but I don’t see ND winning either.
31-24
31-24
Asshat is old school, so you are welcome
lol. You were bragging about playing in Rose Bowl against a 3 loss team.
nope. Period. End. You have 8 gimmes a year, not debatable.
Who cares if they had 3 losses, still won the PAC and went to the Rose Bowl.
Should I compare ranked opponents from previous years? bowl game opponents? I think you'd find that Ohio State plays tougher teams each year than ND does, and wins more.
