What did the little wren tell you about Meatchicken?

That they are over hyped as usual.

Although scUM might be better this year, Patterson is a turnover machine and cant take hits. Their defense will take a plunge compared to last year.

Not to mention Evans (I think it was) was kicked off the team.

Not looking good for them and I am totally fine with that

[noreply66]

That sounds good

[9.5 INCHES]

I see my opinion is irrelevant and immaterial here....disregard my input.......

[cbolt]

I told ya you get em stirred up inches! The Buckeye blood run deep in here!

[9.5 INCHES]

Oh well....At least 7 out of 10 honest true Ohio fans would be honest and admit that the 2019 schedule is weak.....Even you C Clamp I saw on here somewhere said it was weak....You are an Ohio fan, aren't you?......But disregard my input....Don't want to get anyone crying on here about their beloved Ohio Bucks....Sorry.....

[cbolt]

Yes I did say it and its true it is weak but upsets have happened before and they still have to go out and play the game, also injuries could change things up if they occur to key players in bunches. You just never know inches!

you hain't offendin anyone inches. we plan on continuing our decade of domination over you guys in the funny helmets anyway. even through a coachin' change. '' WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US'' SAYS HARBAUGH. BUT HE KNOW'S THE BUCKEYES DO. I hear they are renaming the endzones at Michigan urban and tressel, because they own them.

[Bleeding Red]

I will say that scUM's schedule isnt bad. Although they open with Middle Tennessee (lol) they do at least play Army (not terrible) and ND non conference.

I think scUM goes either 8-4 or 11-1 this year. Like I said, defense will not be nearly as good (62-39) and the O line will struggle. Lost one of their best RB's and Patterson will continue to be a TO machine in pressure situations.

Michigan has a very tough schedule , they play notre dame and army, and mtsu ooc. the army game and the notre dame game will be very, very tough. don't forget what kind of year the black knights had last year. and the irish are loaded. and last year's score means nothing anymore by ohio state. 62-39 would be great again. but this is a whole horse of a nuther color this year. we'' see how well we have rebooted by the time these 2 titans lock horns at the end of the season. it's been at least 7 years since Michigan won, can't rightly remember past that.

Ohio State has won 16 of the last 18.

According to yardbarker, OSU has the 13th hardest schedule this coming season in NCAA. scUM was 6th (I think).

People need to look at schedules for BAMA and other schools who still continue to schedule FCS teams on a yearly basis.

I dont want to hear how bad OSU's schedule is when BAMA is scheduling teams like Western Carolina (FCS). Ridiculous to even think of the trash some of these SEC schools put on their schedule.

OSU's worst game is against Florida Atlantic. At least they are FBS and in Conference USA.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

several teams play 2 fcs schools this year. florida is one.

No matter what the Bucks do. No matter who the Bucks play. It will never be good enough in the eyes of the self proclaimed gurus of the college schedulers. Don’t dare mention how many FCS schools the SEC powerhouses have on their schedule. Just knock the BIG10s lesser schools of the FBS on the schedule. Watch here in a few weeks when ESPN starts showing training camps and how many BIG10 schools get HOURS upon HOURS of air time. ESPN surely helps the SEC recruit. All the 5star athletes that are still undecided that hasn’t made a campus visit just gets to sit back and watch and see just what it’s like to go the SEC. of all the NCAA violations that a school has to walk egg shells on I just don’t understand how the heck that ESPN can get away with this.

Good observations, but remember that ESPN owns, or at least does production for the SEC Network. Thus it is to ESPN's financial advantage to promote all things SEC, especially football. As to other bias against the Buckeyes, they are going to have regain respect by avoiding embarrassing 31-0 playoff beat downs and three touchdown losses to Iowa and Purdue. Benefit of the doubt is earned, not given. Maybe, just maybe Ryan Day and the Buckeyes can chip away at the bias during the 2019 season.

I understand why ESPN does it. Which to me is what makes it even worse! They are company that broadcasts ALL sports but when it comes to college football they are so biased to one. They bait you in to watch by promoting ALL SPORTS but then come fall become so one sided when it comes to Power 5 College Football. Again, with all the NCAA sanctions that a school has to be aware of I just don’t understand how one network gets away doing what ESPN does when it comes to college football. I thought all the NCAA rules were made so that ALL College Programs has an equal playing field when it comes to recruiting.
I have no problem with Sportscenter. No issues with College Gameday. No issues with the College Scoreboard Final. Love them! However, every show just mentioned covers ALL teams and games.
But what I do have an issue with is after you watch Sportscenter in early August immediately following on every ESPN channel you get HOURS of roll tide training camp. Thats wrong!! I understand ESPN owns SEC network. But play it there. On the SEC Network not ESPN channels !
Just as the BIG10 and PAC12 channels do. They cover their own! So SEC network do the same.
Get it off ESPN , ESPN2 , ESPNU etc.

[countywide35]

Omega I do agree that the Bucks will need to earn some respect back. When you mention the above setbacks it seems when it happens to the Bucks they are crucified! Let Bama stumble and get a slap on the wrist. You never hear about how the bucks were giving a shot and went through 3QBs to win the National Title as a underdog. But that’s our society. NEVER talk about the good things ALWAYS talk about the bad. I do hope you are right about Day and the Bucks being able to chip away at the critics.

But Again , the critics are so overwhelmed with the talks of ESPN and folks like Paul Finebaum that get hours of National Air time through broadcasts of Sportscenter to bash the Buckeyes and the BIG10 and put the SEC up on a pedestal. It’s a wonder we ever win a game or even get a shot at a postseason berth.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

some very good points from both of you.

[Bleeding Red]

Do some research about the conception of the B1G Network, how ESPN felt about it (and the remarks they made), etc.

Now ESPN is not financially doing as well as it used to (I think mainly because of their open liberal stance on issues- which is the main reason I do not watch them anymore) and look at how well B1G Network is doing for itself.

This has cost ESPN an enormous amount of money in TV contracts and they lost a ton of revenue to FOX/Fox Sports due to the shift of power that the B1G attributed to after the start of their own network and fall out with ESPN.

Its all about money. ESPN has their money invested in SEC Network, so of course they are going to push their audience towards the SEC. The more powerful they can make the SEC, the higher the ratings and more ad/sponsor money/revenue they bring in.

Easy fix: Just stop watching their shytty network. I stopped as soon as they gave the Arthur Ash award to Caitlyn Jenner over some really deserving people who actually did something besides being dramatic.
