I feel bad for the kid even if they are a rival but IDK if it will affect OSU as much as a lot might think. Urban has a great system, I mean Guiton looked just as good or better then Miller when he came in the last couple years so they should be able to plug in the next guy and be at least decent still.

I dont, he was never going to be anything in the pros and he'll leave with a degree. Injury changes really nothing in his life besides a possible bcs bowl meltdown. So this is a positive impact on his life as he wont have a shane falco moment!
I thought they banned that, the Orson Welles clapping gif, etc a long time ago. People overused all those, so it would be understandable. Maybe I just misremembered.

Let's look at key diff. Smooth jazz was a 5th year senior who had worked with a lot of the wr for years. We have a redshirt freshman coming in now who, while being the #1 dual threat qb in 2013, has looked very pedestrian.
Games vs navy and va tech just got a lot harder
There's tons of talent on the offense, but the oline is new and we don't have a workhorse rb this year.
Yeah something is funny once then every other person tries to apply it to posts to try and make a funny before you know it forum is flooded by the meme.

It popped during a routine throw, somehow this is more devastating than happening in the middle of the season or during a game. ugggggggggggggggggggggggggh
There was concern they were rushing him back, guess we now know

I really think sparty caught lightening in a bottle last year, not to mention they had a stud secondary which is now half gone. We all know, sparty gonna spart.
Can you smell it?
Smells like SEC DOS EQUIPOS.
Saw where a big MB for OSUn is ElevenWarriors, but that site is deceased.

People Ive talked to say MRI is tomorrow morning, but team and coaches are braced for the worst news. Although we did go through this same thing 2 years ago where he was supposed to be donezo and cameback

Ehh.
It sucks, obviously, but for whatever reason I just don't freak out about stuff like this anymore.
We've got some quality QBs behind Braxton. Time for them to step up.

Everyone knew Brax wasn't going to play a full season.
At least we can get this shit figured out early and not a week before we play Sparty.

Ted Bolser, he wont get a ton of playing time, likely just special team guy but still very cool

Spartan fan so I'm biased, but I think they're going to contend for a long time now. Dantonio is one of the best coaches in the country and does a great job developing guys that fit his system. Roster looks pretty loaded. OSU is still going to be tough, even if Braxton is out.

Im a big Dantonio fan, hes an OSU guy!
, but that defense was a beast last year and kept them in it.Purple Cheeto

So they lost half their O-Line and now their QB? I think they could still be pretty good but the MNC odds have to have dropped a ton.
Tough break for Braxton. Hope he has a smooth recovery.
I'm excited to see how the Spartans respond after a dreamlike year. B1G champs, Rose Bowl champs - something we Spartans hadn't tasted for too long. I think this team will contend again, but I think it's all going to come down to Cook. He was playing pretty damn well late last year and showed great progression throughout the season. While the defense will still be stout and very solid, it seems to be like this year the offense could set the tone.

Urban to retire.
More time for pizza.
and then come back in a year to take his 'dream job' at Michigan
Nah, that'd be Notre Dame.
Don't be silly - nobody's dream job is to go there.
It's definitely Les Miles' dream job.

And just to correct the description in the video, he's playing against Texas highschool football competition, not Kansas. I remember about half of Texas' faithful being pissed we pursued Swoopes over Barrett. Mack Brown went for Swoopes so I'm sure Barrett will win a heisman
High school football in Texas is played at a higher level than the Jayhawks so that is an important correction.
Counterpoint: Les Miles is clinically insane.
Hope to hear good news for you Buckeye fans. Really hate to see players go down anytime and especially in their senior year.
If you're talking about rebroadcasts after the season the schools/conferences retain those rights so they can show them on their network if they're worth watching. Fairly sure they retain the rights for rebroadcast during the season so long as it's been a specified time since that particular gameday.
So long as Hoke is coaching in Ann Arbor everyone will have their opportunity to beat Michigan. I hear Rutgers and Maryland are really looking forward to a break from their tough conference schedules when they play the Maize and Blue.

If Iowa can manage to get 3rd in the west, I'll be surprised. They always manage to fuck it up against someone that they should beat every season.

Iowa could run the table if they don't fuck up. Have you seen their schedule? They only play 2 opponents worth a damn, and those are home games. Still, I'll predict they go 9-3

That's too bad about Braxton Miller.

That he's passed on twice.

Hearing more on Brax, theyre saying he dislocated it yesterady. If theres no damage could be fine, wont know until MRI this morning. I highly doubt he will be ready for Navy even on best case scenario.

Just so I'm up to date on the Ohio State situation, "we ain't come to play school" is going to be your starting QB now?
bucknuticus
Member
No, that was Cardale Jones, he was the expected backup but lost the role in the spring.
Supposedly this last time he was going to do it but then Herbie put it out there while they were still negotiating the contract, then LSU offered a huge raise and pressure to sign right away or lose the deal.

At least Herbie's still good for something.
Hey Herbie could be as bad as Tebow is when he refers to Florida as "we."
Since we don't have any college football video game this year, I had to share this commercial for Madden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DL0W9AUCuY
Kevin Hart and Dave Franco. Fucking hilarious.
