Well I guess it's time to start this up.

criminals, sex offenders, and molesters. Yikes this should play out well.


Probably Russian disinformation.

@Birm @AustinWard , @Bill Landis , wanted to tag you guys because I seem to remember this field being replaced like 2 years ago ? All season I’ve watched and saw players losing their footing when they cut, what’s the story here ? On Saturday , flipping between the Nebraska and Buckeyes game , I couldn’t get over had bad the field looked , faded red end Zones , etc . I haven’t been to a game yet this season , wanted to get your thoughts , or if you have heard Ross Bjork acknowledge it . There were quite a few post on Twitter Saturday as well

Milton.. Gotta bad feeling.

The highly anticipated game between the #2 Buckeyes and the #3 Ducks is upon us. This is the tenth meeting between the two schools, with the Buckeye's leading the series 9-1. Let's take a look at "What Happened Before."

- The Oregon football team was originally referred to as the Web Foots, but the sports writers shortened it to Ducks to save on space and eventually that became the official mascot.

- In 1947, Oregon reached an agreement with Walt Disney to use the image of Donald Duck.

- As stated above, the Buckeyes lead the series 9-1. OSU is 5-0 when only they are ranked and 2-1 when both teams are ranked.

- Ryan Day is 1-5 vs top 3 teams. Dan Lanning is 0-2 against top 3 teams.

- OSU has victories over the Ducks in 4 of its 8 national championship seasons (1957, 1961, 1968, 2014).

- This is the Buckeyes first game at Oregon since 1967.

THE GAMES:

January 1, 1958: With the final polls already released and the Buckeyes (8-1) ranked #1 in the coaches poll (UPI) and #2 in the AP behind Auburn (who was ineligible in the UPI poll due to recruiting violations. Yes, SEC cheating goes back THAT far!), they traveled out west to play the Oregon Web Foots (7-3) in the Rose Bowl. Oregon lost their last game, to rival Oregon State, in the Civil War, to tie the Beavers (who's has the best mascot in sports), and tie for the Pacific Coast Conference title. But because of the PCC no repeat rule at the time, the Beavers couldn't go back to the Rose Bowl, sending the team from Eugene.

The Buckeyes were 20 point favorites heading into the game, and Woody Hayes hoped his boys were ready. OSU took their opening drive 79 yards for a touchdown to start things off. Oregon was able to tie the score at 7-7 in the second quarter. After a scoreless 3rd quarter, the Buckeyes were able to kick a 34 field goal to take a 10-7 lead with 14:09 to play. The Web Foots had two more scoring chances in the 4th, but fumbled one away on the Buckeye 30 and later turned the ball over on downs with 47 seconds to play. 10-7 Buckeyes!

1961: The #3 Buckeyes (6-0) easily handled the Ducks (4-4) 22-12 in Ohio Stadium. Woody's troops intercepted two Oregon passes, and completed 1 pass of their own in 6 attempts for a whopping 12 yards as the the Buckeyes marched to a Football Writers Association of America national championship, Woody's 3rd and OSU's 4th. They finished #2 in the AP poll behind Alabama (SEC bias, LOL).

1962: The Buckeyes (4-3) beat the Ducks (6-1-1) 26-7, on a cold, rainy November day. Even though it was great weather for Ducks, it wasn't enough.

1967: In a battle of winless teams, OSU (0-1), crushed Oregon (0-4) by a lopsided score of 30-0 in the only shutout in the series. It also is the only game in the series played in Eugene.

1968: Woody's #6 ranked Super Soph's, on their way to an undefeated national championship season, outmanned winless Oregon (0-2) 21-6, in spite of throwing four interceptions and losing 2 fumbles. In spite of the turnovers, the Buckeyes outgained Oregon 456 - 140 yards.

1983: In their season opener, Earle Bruce's #7 ranked Buckeyes intercepted 3 Oregon passes to cruise to a 31-6 victory on the 94 degree September day. OSU quarterback Mike Tomczak had an outstanding day, going 21-25-273 yds and 4 TD's.

1987: The #5 ranked Buckeyes (1-0) stumbled to a 3-0 halftime lead over the Ducks (1-0) and hang on for a 24-14 win in Ole 9-3 Earle's final season.

Jan 1, 2010: The BIG champion and #8 ranked Buckeyes headed to Pasadena to face the Pac 12 and #7 Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl. The Buckeyes scored on their opening drive, marching 75 yards on their way to a 10-0 first quarter lead. The Ducks roar back to tie the game at 10 before the Buckeyes kick a pair of FG's to lead 16-10 at the break.

The second half opened with Oregon driving the length of the field to take a 17-16 lead, but the Buckeyes immediately responded with a FG. 19-17. Oregon tried to answer that score but fumbled the ball through the Buckeyes end zone. OSU's ball. The third quarter ended with Jim Tressel's troops leading Chip Kelly's boys 19-17. The Buckeyes were then able to mount a drive culminating with Terrell Pryor to DeVier Posey touchdown pass for 17 yards with 7:02 to play. Oregon was able to threaten one last time but missed a 44 yd FG with 5:10 to go. The Bucks then decided to play keep away and ran out the clock to win 26-17.

Jan. 12, 2015: CFP National Championship Game. The #4 seed Ohio State Buckeyes (13-1) faced the #2 seed Oregon Ducks (13-1) for all the marbles. After spotting the Ducks a 7-0 lead, the Buckeyes ran off 21 straight points starting with Ezekiel Elliott's 33 yard touchdown run. The Ducks were able to manage a 26 yd FG with 48 seconds to play in the half. Buckeyes led 21-10.
The Buckeyes received the second half kickoff and they started to drive. But Cardale Jones' pass was intercepted at the Oregon 30 yard line. On the next play, Marcus Mariota's 70 yard pass was completed to Byron Marshall for a touchdown. 21-17. Cardale's woes continued as the ball slipped from his hands as he was trying to pass and Oregon recovered at the Buckeye 23. But the Buckeye defense held and Oregon had to settle for a 23 yard FG. 21-20. The Buckeyes immediately answered, driving 75 yards for a Zeke Elliott 9 yard TD run on the last play of the third quarter. 28-20 Buckeyes.

After forcing an Oregon punt, the Buckeyes drove 76 yards for another Elliott touchdown run. 35-20. After the teams traded punts, Oregon got the ball on their own 15 with 4:17 to play. The Bucks hold and Oregon turns the ball over on downs at their own 14. The Buckeyes decide they want more, so they gave it to Zeke 4 times and he scored his 4th touchdown of the day to go along with his 246 yards rushing. 42-20 Buckeyes! Oregon couldn't muster anything in the final seconds. The Buckeyes had won the first CFP national championship!!!


2021: #12 (1-0) Oregon came a-calling to Ohio Stadium to meet the #3 Buckeyes (1-0) on a sunny September day. After a scoreless first quarter, Oregon opened the scoring when RB CJ Verdell went around left end untouched for a 14 yard touchdown. 7-0. After exchanging punts, the Buckeyes mounted a drive culminating in a 27 yard pass to Garrett Wilson from CJ Stroud. 7-7. The Ducks responded with a 65 yard drive for another Verdell touchdown. 14-7 Ducks at the half.

On the third play from scrimmage after the Ducks received the second half kickoff, CJ Verdell explodes up the gut and doesn't look back on his way to a 77 yard touchdown. 21-7 Oregon. CJ Stroud leads the Buckeyes down the field and hits JSN on a 26 yard touchdown pass to pull within 7. But the porous OSU defense couldn't stop the Ducks offense and they march 75 yards to go back up 28-14. That's how the quarter ended.

In the 4th quarter, the Buckeyes scored, 28-21, then the Ducks scored, 35-21, thee the Buckeyes scored, 35-28. Then the Bucks force Oregon to punt, but can't do anything and have to punt it back. Another Oregon punt, but the Ducks intercept a CJ Stroud pass at the Oregon 35, for all intents and purposes ending the game. The Buckeyes had 612 total yards but the defense allowed 505 yards. CJ Stroud passed for 484 yards, but it wasn't enough.

Hopefully this week's game is like the first nine meetings and not the last one. Go Bucks!!

A ton of news here:

How much are you seeing in the market?


Nonsense claims of $750
Crying about Ukraine

All very staged and dishonest propaganda .

I believe this is what Emeka currently needs to become the all time Buckeye leader.

Receiving Yards - 456
Receptions - 47
Receiving TDs - 19

Probably yards, Probably receptions, and Possibly touchdowns?

Assuming at least 8 more games, but have to factor in possible weather for November games.

It’s crazy how often this stuff happens at UGA. You know these players have all the resources in the world to prevent incidents like this, but somehow they can’t figure it out in Athens.

David Warren. Quarterback. Michigan.

8 Disturbing Similarities between the Democrat and Nazi Parties​

By D. Parker


Steve McCann's "Eight Startling and Uncomfortable Ways the Democrat Party Emulates the Nazi Party" was just the tip of the National Socialist iceberg.
The fascist far left have always had to lie to survive. They've always been on the wrong side of history, and the only way they can remain viable is by gaslighting people on a full-time basis. For decades, their biggest lie has been that the supposedly pro-freedom side of the political spectrum, imbued in the precepts of individual liberty and limited government, is somehow connected to totalitarian collectivist regimes that displayed the exact opposite of those values.
Anyone who has debated leftists for the past few decades has been subjected to the same bluff abuse in their trying to maintain that nonsensical lie. But the close similarities between fascism and communism have been obvious for at least 75 years:
"In certain basic respects — a totalitarian state structure, a single party, a leader, a secret police, a hatred of political, cultural and intellectual freedom — fascism and communism are clearly more like each other than they are like anything in between".
—Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Associate Professor of History at Harvard, New York Times Magazine, Sunday, April 4, 1948

Even if you set aside the preposterous argument that totalitarians would also be proponents of liberty and limited government, there are still a myriad of parallel characteristics between the Democrat party and the National Socialist German Workers' (Nazi) Party. That's what was so startling about the first eight ways.

Our follow-up along those lines will make the case even more.
1. Democrats and the Nazis were/are obsessed with gun confiscation.
We'll start with the one issue the fascist far left never bring up when they try to make their absurd claims: that the Democrats and the Nazis were obsessed with gun confiscation. You will never hear them try to make this accusation of the pro-freedom right because even they know that their lies can only carry them so far. This obvious common collectivist trait also destroys the far leftist mythology of the "party switch," which supposedly took place sometime in the late '60s. This was one glaring item that didn't switch, so they avoid mentioning it.
Anyone who has been paying attention for the past few years knows that saying that the Democrats are obsessed with gun confiscation is an understatement of massive proportions. Every day, it seems they've come out with a new scheme on the national, state, and local levels to deprive the people of their commonsense civil rights.


2. Democrats and Nazis are collectivists.
There are essentially two political philosophies: individualism and collectivism. The fact is that all academic disciplines are based on foundational principles, and this is an ironclad rule that separates the two sides of the political spectrum and also eviscerates the fascist far left's biggest lie. According to F.A. Hayek, students today are often taught that on the imaginary "political spectrum," socialism and communism are "left of center," and capitalism and fascism are "right of center." This is frightfully misleading. Socialism, communism and fascism are all peas in the same collectivist pod. Hayek held that they all despised both competition and the individual, and he was precisely right.
3. The overarching philosophy of both Democrats and Nazis is centralized control.
The individualists on the pro-freedom side of the political spectrum favor liberty and limited government. The collectivists of the anti-liberty side of the political spectrum favor control and unlimited government. This can easily be seen in the Democrat's obsession with controlling not only basic liberties, but also gas stoves, dishwashers, and air-conditioners.
In the case of the German National Socialist Labor Party, this was set out as point 25 in their 25-point program:

25. In order to carry out this program we demand: the creation of a strong central authority in the State, the unconditional authority by the political central parliament of the whole State and all its organizations.

Click to expand...

4. The centralized collectivist control philosophy of the Democrat and Nazi parties is epitomized in the phrase "the Common Good" (Gemeinnutz vor Eigennutz in the original German).
How many times have you heard the fascists of the far left parrot the phrase "the Common Good" when trying to shove a draconian, authoritarian rule down our throats? The COVID crisis was particularly egregious in this regard, exemplified by this piece in USA Today: "The COVID culture war: At what point should personal freedom yield to the common good?"
5. Far-left fascists of the Democrat and Nazi parties see force as means to their political power.
While the German national socialist party exploited force, Democrats started the practice with the KKK and perfected it with the Burning, Looting, and Murder riots during the summer of 2020, making it clear to everyone that if they didn't get their way, the BLM violence would continue.
The tradition continues with Mr. Liberty Control himself, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), threatening a "popular revolt" if they don't get their way in ramming the pre-stages of gun confiscation down our throats.
6. Democrats and Nazis are proponents of single-party systems.
It should also be obvious that the authoritarians of the far left would love to keep everything nice and simple with a single party — theirs. This is why the Nazis attacked the rival collectivists of the communist party. Just like the rival factions of Islam, they had the same ideology; it's just that they wanted to be the people in control.
This was exemplified in a piece from the New Republic, "The Constitution Is the Crisis," with this lovely quotation: "We've seen multiple periods of one-party dominance in our history; we've also seen defeated political parties wither and die. Why shouldn't the Republican Party join them?"
7. Democrats and Nazis are fascistic.
You can always tell when a leftist defines fascism, because aside from the inevitable circular logic that supposedly prevents them from being fascist, such as oh, so cleverly labeling themselves as "anti-fascist," they will define the term based on an arbitrary set of subjective (and thus meaningless) criteria.
The fact is that fascism is based on several references. When it's primarily defined as an economic system, fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer.
In present-day parlance, it's a "Public/Private" partnership, combining the worst aspects of unlimited governmental rule and corporate oligarchy, with the latter answering to the government instead of the customer. The Bud Light debacle is a prime example.
When the Italian far left originally developed this reprehensible ideology 96 years ago, it was based on La Carta del Lavoro, translated as the Charter of Labor. The New York Times enthused:

FASCISTI PROCLAIM 'CHARTER OF LABOR'; Mussolini Is Hailed as Prophet of Cooperative Industrial Peace Under the State. LABOR AND CAPITAL JOINED Document Declaring Rights and Duties Is Presented at Climax of Rome's 2,681st Birthday.
ROME, April 21. — The Fascist "Charter of Labor," embodying the fundamental principles of the Fascist-Syndicalist State, which is based primarily upon the theory of replacing the class struggle by a fruitful cooperation between capital and labor under direct State control, was promulgated tonight by Premier Mussolini at a special meeting of the Fascist Grand Council.

Strangely enough, Democrats never refer to this founding document of their base ideology. If you study any of their "academic" work on the subject, they tend to ignore these facts.
8. Democrats are striving for a totalitarian state structure and a single party like the Nazis.
Put all of this together, and you'll come to the inescapable conclusion that all of these parallels make the ironclad case that both parties are all too similar.
With with modern surveillance technology and tyrannical "innovations" like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), the Democrats could make the Nazis look like amateurs. This is why they have to be opposed with cultural guerrilla warfare every step of the way.

Are liberals and the Jewish deep state controlling the weather?

Lots of free thinkers say yes, this is the video mainstream media doesn’t want you to see.

I will circle back with point spreads for the missing games but just ran out of time this morning. BOL to all

Final Composite Scores - CFB Week 6

The latest on a lot of big names here:

Oregon MSU 🍿

I've been tinkering with my power rating this weekend and decided to pull data from the past few seasons (back to 2019).

I found a few interesting nuggets while analyzing OSU.

Points Per Opportunity (Average points allowed when opponent crosses the 40 yard line. Used to determine team's ability to stop drives from finishing):
Timeframe Average: 3.77
98th Percentile: 2.36
Current OSU: 0.6 (best of the timeframe. Next closest is 1.8)

Success Rate (Successful plays meet one of the following criteria: the offense scored,
1st downs which gain at least 50% of the yards to go, 2nd downs which gain at least 70% of the yards to go, 3rd and 4th downs which gain at least 100% of the yards to go)
Timeframe Average: 41.8%
98th Percentile: 34.6%
Current OSU: 33.0% (Ranks 13th best)

Havoc Rate (Sacks, TFLs, PD, Turnovers)
Timeframe Average: 17.4%
98th Percentile: 25.7%
Current OSU: 22.2% (Ranks 64th. 92nd Percentile)

Obviously, a lot of this is a function of our schedule and will regression to the mean with more games, but it's a pretty ridiculous start.

Whatever feelings you want to hash about Oregon - this would be a great thread to do it in (as opposed to the 2025 recruiting thread)

I’ll start. Very good team. Could well beat OSU if things go a certain way.

Overrated as a program given what they (haven’t) accomplished. Finances may help push them over the top in the next few years.

A game three years ago isn’t a useful indication of the current state of the program. I’m not sure how many people directly involved in the game that day are in either program currently. 10?

The only thing worse than playing Iowa is playing a service academy. Some curious line movement on Friday, but I’ve got Ohio State 37, Iowa 10. Will Howard rushes for two scores and goes for 50+ on the ground.
