  1. I primarily follow FanDuel. Ohio State is -2.5. If the spread only moved .5 after the smart money came in, I would be shocked. It’s going to move a couple points the morning of the game. We won’t know how the sharps are feeling about it until then. If I wake up and Texas is -.5 or it’s an even line, I’ll be extremely nervous.
  2. 100%. The absolute worst thing that could happen is for the game to be decided by a controversial call and that be the talk of the season, rather than how great of a game it was and how Texas or Ohio State earned that one.
  3. I just said on the road with 4/5 new OL my prediction is he will struggle. I also have the humility to admit I could be completely wrong and we leave that stadium as quiet as we did in 2005 😞 The line is going to move one way or the other hours before the game. It always does. You just think it’s going to go towards Texas, I think it’s going to go towards the home team. Neither prediction is off base, because it is going to move, we are both just guessing which way that will be.
  4. I am acting in good faith. All of those guys played prominent roles in the playoffs. I remember seeing Arch for one play and they didn’t let him throw against Ohio State. Arch’s snaps are against Mississippi State and some team from Louisiana. All of those guys’ snaps were against Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame.
  5. Beau Atkinson had 7.5 sacks himself last season as a backup at North Carolina. But please don’t take my “unearned hype for Arch” as the insult it comes across as. There’s a very real chance Arch earns that hype against my Buckeyes. There’s a reason Texas are the favorites to win the national championship. Vegas loves Texas’ D and Vegas believes Arch is the real deal.
  6. I personally don’t see the irony in it. All of those guys have played hundreds more snaps than Arch. Arch’s toughest start came vs a Mississippi State team that was blown out by Toledo.
  7. Playing Texas week one is much better for Ohio State though. Offensive line takes the longest to gel and become a cohesive unit.
  8. It could be. I think it’ll be OSU -5.5 by game-time. A lot of casual bettors right now who believe Ohio State is the only team in this matchup to lose talent from last year’s game. Also, a lot of unearned Arch hype right now. Professionals are going to let this line drop as much as possible and then hammer Ohio State at 9am on 8/30.
  9. Yup, 100%. There’s a reason Vegas has this under a FG line.
  10. I wasn’t talking about Texas fans by the way. I was talking about the set up around the stadium. The mini state fair games, the silent DJ on the hill, such a good time.
  11. Yup, still to this do NO LOSS has EVER effected me more than the ‘05 loss to Texas. None of the losses to Michigan, none of the losses in national championship games, that game f’d me up for a while.
  12. Yeah, Texas fans don’t deserve that. Tennessee fans however, I’m glad they got the Texas treatment. There is no trashier fan base than Tennessee.
  13. I actually really like Bjork. I know this is probably taboo to say here, but I think A&M has one of the best, if not the best atmospheres in college football. I think from his time in the SEC, he’s trying to bring a lot of that to Ohio State. From President Ted Carter, down to Bjork and then Day, Ohio States administration has ever been more aligned in regards to the football program in my life. I have been to DKR by the way, recently too, and I always tell my friends, Texas does tailgating and everything outside of the stadium right, is a great time.
  14. Notre Dame will eventually be in the B1G. Most people believe by 2030.
  15. Yeah, I think it’s a given that it will be 16. Hopefully the B1G leadership gives up on the ridiculous 4+4+2+2 model in favor of the 5+11 model. The media that covers the B1G always said that that was the compromise the B1G wanted to agree to 5+11.
  16. I can only speak for myself. I will be back regardless to tell ya'll good game and I hope to visit Austin (for the second time) next September.
  17. Yeah, that's a very bad take. Patricia is going to be good, but will he be good enough, quickly enough to win on 8/30? We don't know. I like Ohio State's defense a lot versus Texas offense personally.
  18. If Ohio State is able to win this game, I think they have a lot of success in the middle of the field. Whether that is James Peoples & CJ Donaldson Jr running between the guards, or Max Klare and Brandon Innis in the seams.
  19. I'm as curious as ya'll to see what type of defense Patricia runs. One thing that is different with the way NFL DC's call a defense versus college DC's is that Knowles had his scheme and ran it no matter who they were playing. Where as "supposedly" Patricia has a specific game plan for each opponent based on that teams strength's or weaknesses. Can it work in college? We will see.
  20. I think Patrcia is going to be very good personally, I have alot of faith in Day’s hiring.
