What other message boards are saying (Playoff Edition) (Ohio State)

[hUTch2002]

-Nico compiled all of his stats against the turds on their schedule and wilted in the big games, for the most part. But, they still went 10-2 in a great conference, so they are indeed a weird team to evaluate.

-If we can beat Tennessee (at home)… we then matchup with the 1 seed Oregon Ducks & can steal their path the rest of the way. I like it. Going to have to be lat 4 great teams. It’s Ryan Day’s chance to change his narrative forever.

-Let's not overlook Tennessee since this is Cooper 2.0 era we all know you can't spell Citrus without UT.

-We are a scary team to have to deal with and some of the Tennessee over confidence I have seen is laughable. Believe in the Buckeyes!

-I don’t think Tennessee’s offense or QB are very good, but we’ve laid some eggs this year also. And our patchwork OL against an SEC D line in a game in December outside in Columbus is scary. We don’t have a FG kicker to rely on, which is important in games like this (probably low-scoring, elements at play where fluky things can happen).

-100% we are winning this game. Tennessee won't last a half at the shoe.

-Ryan Day has proven that he needs the better player at all 22 positions to win football games. Gonna be tough because Tennessee might have a better player at one or two positions.

-Michigan beat us by almost never blitzing and keeping 2 safeties back and baiting us into run into their D line that we couldn't handle. Will Tennessee deploy a similar strategy? I don't know. But if they do blitz us and leave our WR trio in one and ones, I think we should like that. Our OL is better pass blocking than run blocking, and our backs can pick up blitzes with the best of them. I would welcome an over aggressive strategy by Tennessee, but I don't think we'll get it. They are going to play the pass like Michigan and hope OSU still struggles to run into light boxes.

-Heupel is pretty clever. Advantage goes to the Vols coaching staff with 13 days to prepare.

-Did you see Day’s interview, dude is so glum and dispirited….he’s already lost….toast actually….I observed little hype and positive emotion from him.

-I actually think they will come out and crush tenn. I’m usually conservative with my picks but this is setting up to be an easy bet and win. I have Osu like 28-13.

-Concerned about TN's defensive front against this oline...with last year's Cotton Bowl performance still weighing on my mind.

-Tennessee isn't in Ryan Day's head like Michigan so I don't see us stubbornly playing into their strength ( I really hope this is the case). Our offensive line won't be manhandled like they were against Michigan either so I expect a little bit more success running the ball and some better protection which should give Howard more time to find the talented receivers.

-I believe that there's a lot of angry players looking for redemption. Kind of feel the same about the coaches.

-Well the Ryan Day effect is the biggest problem for OSU...If he can keep himself out of the play calling, and allow the team to play its game I give OSU a 7 out of 10 chance to win...if we screw around and get destroyed up front...well these weeks off preparing will mean nothing...

-My confidence in the Bucks never wavers. We can beat anyone. And in most all cases, we probably should. Our Defense will be the best unit on the field next Saturday and it won’t even be particularly close either. All we’ll really need from our Offense is to not turn the ball over and to stay ahead of the chains. Touchdowns instead of field goals, when given the opportunities.

-Support the team regardless of who they are playing. Pretty sure most everyone was calling TN soft all season.

-I have very little confidence in Ryan Day and the offensive line. I wouldn’t be surprised if they laid an egg at home.

-Tennessee got the worst possible draw in the playoffs. We'll destroy these soft ass fools.

-Ohio State has the potential to outrush Tennessee and blow them out. Ohio State has played a murderer's row of rush defenses and still managed 5 yds/carry.

-Saw Tennessee live this year vs. Oklahoma (my brother is DE for OU and played in the game)…Oklahoma D put out the book on how to stop Tennessee. We just have to follow it.

-In 1996, the University of TN wore illegal cleats in a soaking wet Peach Bowl. Karma is coming.

-Cold temps are going to have us see injuries. I have no faith in our backups on the OL if this should happen. Of course, the knife cuts both ways and it could end up biting them.

-TN will be a tough matchup, but one we can win. Personally I don't believe there is any team that should beat us, if we play well on offense. The defense is playing well enough for me to say that.

-It's going to be way too cold for Tennessee. They won't be able to throw and their rushing offense is mid. We should roll.

-We get the absolute easiest 1st round game. We are blessed for sure. Let's Roll!!

-Our roster can compete with any SEC school. Ryan Day will have to have a great gameplan though.

-I've watched Tennessee a couple of times this year, they don't impress me.

-Tennessee is a fraud and I don't care what anyone says.

I liked the one about blitzing and him hoping were over aggressive. I thought that was far more insightful than most of the comments.

 

[Doberman]

I've been leaning on being humble myself.

These OSU turds, however.......good gracious.

Hope we beat them like rented mules.

 

[nalliszing]

Golf. Early 1980s

Quite likely we might have passed one another in the quad at some point. Martin had a beautiful campus. I was at UTM from 80-82 before getting accepted into Pharmacy school in Memphis.

They haven't faced a defense as elite as ours. The question is our offense, which Vol fans know is not a sure bet. If we can run the ball, it's over. Sampson will put up 100 yds in a flash. That is going to be the key to our victory here. Solid defense and run the ball against a mediocre OSU defense

Can’t spell Citrus without UT, but you also can’t spell Citrus Bowl Runner-Up without tOSU.

"Saw Tennessee live this year vs. Oklahoma (my brother is DE for OU and played in the game)…Oklahoma D put out the book on how to stop Tennessee. We just have to follow it."
.
How did that turn out for Oklahoma?
.

dude must have missed that we totally shut our offense down in the second half because we knew OU could not score on us.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

Yeah, I don’t get this bravado at all. We’re a lot like Michigan….except we’re actually good.

 

[sjt18]

ACC Crew for our game.

B12 -- Indiana vs ND
SEC -- SMU vs Penn St
B10 -- Clemson vs TX

In the past when you said OSU, they had players on offense or defence that you could Identify with immediately or their defense or offense. There is just not an individual that stands out or an unit that does. DL or OL or RBs, there is no identity to relate to the team. Good and bad. Day is the only thing that comes to mind.

Two names stuck out to me. Judkins because he played at OM and Carnell Tate because UT recruited him. Like you said, I really don't know any of the other names.

 

[207 others]

I interviewed at WOWK in Huntington back in 2010. The town seemed sketchy and the TV station was a real dump. I wasn't going to leave Knoxville for that. A month later I interviewed in Columbus... a far superior city to Huntington.

Columbus is a palace of gold compared to the shanty town of Huntforfent

 

[UTblood4life]

Is that true? What are illegal cleats? I am sure they werent metal like the old baseball cleats from the Jurassic Period ...so we picked better tires than them, and thats why we stuffed Eddie George for the whole game? (Including Bill Duff at the goal line)

Yes they claimed we cheated, the 95 citrus bowl was rainy, Tennessee decided to wear something like 1/4 longer cleats, Ohio state could have but didn't, well the Ohio state team was loaded especially running back Eddie George, close game, and Bill Duff snuffed out a huge play in the end, Peyton won his first citrus bowl, after the game Ohio state fans claimed we cheated in essence we didn't cheat wearing longer cleats. This will be the first time we've played Ohio state since 95, and they still hold a grudge.

 

[lastlapuncle]

These "soft ass fools"will be at your house in12 days.Wait up for us.We'll come a knocking.

 

[Loid]

I didnt think a fan base could be more delusional than Oklahoma but OSU may have em beat, wow.

 

[imw8n4u]

The Citrus bowl is and has always been an outdoor stadium.

He's talking about the OSU fan who claimed it was the Peach bowl, which is indoors in ATL.

 

[OrangeRaid Vol #1]

Only 1 WR went off on our team this year, and that was @ Arkansas. Since then our DBs have played pretty well. Our weakness is our LBers, UGA had a great game plan for this, using multiple Motions and different TE sets to have our LBers eyes in the wrong spot and we got tore up because of it. Our DBs are actually pretty good in 1 vs 1 situations. To think our team is soft?????? lmfao.. yall gonna find out why Heupel said Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. GBO!

Wgwtaaa we gonna whip them - anyone, anywhere, anytime

 

[OrangeInKy]

Also, the Peach Bowl is played in a dome.

Wasn't always though. I think in 96 it was.

 

[OrangeInKy]

I've been leaning on being humble myself.

These OSU turds, however.......good gracious.

Hope we beat them like rented mules.

I'm going with humble now but if we go up there and win I'm getting a 1 year lease on a place up there and wearing Vols gear everyday. May throw in Michigan gear on Sundays for fun.

 

[Volrocketman]

To reiterate Ohios tallest mountain is 20% the size of Nebraska and Kansas' tallest. I'm not sure if you're trolling me but this is Campbell Hill, the tallest mountain in Oh*o. There is a reason actual mountainfolk in TN EKY VA WV NC NEGA laugh at JD Vance and Ohio people saying they're appalachians
View attachment 704773

Just now reading this thread so not sure someone has commented. JD Vance grew up in Eastern Kentucky, so he definitely grew up in Appalachia. And according to some of the maps you can view online, there are portions of Eastern and Southeastern Ohio that are part of the Appalachian Regional Commission. While that may be laughable to some of us who grew up in East Tennessee, it's still not an inaccurate statement.

 

[BradentonVol]

Started in the Georgia Dome in 1993.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So defensively all Banks has to do is copy Michicheat?

 

[Vol4lif3]

Do we have a Tennessee flag we can plant in the ground lol

Do you know what the ARC is? Lol. It is not a diagram of Appalachia, rather a lobby of poor communities. Would you say Mississippi is Appalachian? And not Nelson County Virginia? All of North AND Central Alabama is Appalachian? (I know there is a small SMALL small area of NE Alabama that is appalachia) Randomly Lewisburg and Lawrence County is Appalachian yet some of the most iconic parts of Blue Ridge Virginia is not? Yet Ohio with an elevation of 7 feet and not many Scots Irish is?

Spot on. Most of Southeastern Ohio is in the ARC. The composition of those towns is very similar to what you'd find in some of the upper East Tennessee towns (ie Jellico, TN and McArthur, OH, Rogersville, TN and Nelsonville, OH).

Oddly while most of East Tennessee sympathized with the North during the Civil War, a lot of SE Ohio sympathized with the south. It's Appalachia through-and-through.

Ohio doesn't become the "Ohio" most people think of until you get north of I-70.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Started in the Georgia Dome in 1993.

Thanks. I totally meant to look up when it started being played in the Dome but I figured early-mid 90's after it opened.

Very inaccurate statement. Explain each red circle if you're talking culturally and geographic Appalachian versus the ARC which was politics for grant money in poor towns, the ARC in fact has 0 to do with Appalachia geographically and culturally. Anyone who applied made it in. Any town that didnt want the grant all of a sudden isnt Appalachian. ill wait and can't wait for the semantics as someone who is actually Appalachian going back 6 generations, who studies our history generally hours per week for years.

So California is an Atlantic state because the ACC declared it so? I'd also go as far to say if Ohio is Appalachian then Scotland certainly is as the range is actually found there prominently and nowhere in Ohio. If we are saying towns in Ohio are Appalachian because they are rednecks then we could include 90% of America outside cities and towns.

Spot off. It is not Appalachian through and through, it is not Appalachian at all. There is not 1 appalachian town in all of Ohio. New York is 50000x more Appalachian than Ohio and thats not trolling. There might be exodus appalachians. The ARC is the worst definition of Appalachia in Appalachian history. So Mississippi is Appalachian LOL that's like saying California is republican because there's red all over the map.
Refer to post above this one
The majority of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where bluegrass was made and the most Appalachian culture in America is not Appalachian, but Ohio and Birmingham, almost all of Alabama and west Georgia, and Jackson Mississippi and Lewisburg TN is! Lol. Don't forget half of middle TN and all of central Kentucky!

But the largest mountain range with the biggest peaks outside of WNC in Appalachia is """not Appalachian""" ahaha
