The season's not over, but we'll see whether or not the guys shake it off and get back to good form in the playoffs. Maybe it's a wakeup call.....or maybe we're not that special. It remains to be seen.

And we were probably destined to either lose to the tsips or to Georgia in the sec championship. I doubt we were gonna beat Georgia..... So a loss was coming one way or the other.

And the Buckeyes had a FAR better QB than we have. Marcel is our Achilles heel.

We are not OSU but we are a team that when plays on the edge can be explosive. At least we get to roll the dice and see how they land. One of the biggest wins we've had in the past 30 years came after a disappointing loss at DKR. Hopefully we learn from the loss and come out ready for the playoffs

Well we weren't going to play Georgia in the sec championship game so….

Sunshine pumpers don't get it..

OSU is a blue chip program. First tier. We've only beaten our rival 5 times in over 30 years. It can't even really be called a rivalry anymore.

This.

OP won't come back here bc it was just a thread to get folks fired up
If he really believes his point I'd love to hear his thoughts about the differences between the two teams during the respective years...especially with facts

Since Bosco enjoyed my previous post so much, I'll share more.....

Our SEC wins came against SEC teams with a combined SEC record of 12-39. Not good.

The only SEC team we played with a winning SEC record was tu....and it didn't turn out well.

Our only quality win was at Notre Dame. And Notre Dame's only quality win was.....USC? Pitt?

We had a great schedule and we took care of business against really bad teams.....but we still don't know how good we really are. We were either never that special, or we're a really good team that laid an egg in a big game. We won't know until the playoffs.

True, I would say their team last year had more talent than ours has this year. Plus more consistent QB accuracy. But the ghosts of historic pasts don't win games. The parallel is, Ohio State regrouped mentally. Can we do that? Only time will tell. Hopefully Moss coming back gives us a boost, but overall, the Aggies this year, objectively, are less talented than the 2024 Buckeyes. That said, even one CFP win (hopefully more) would IMO be huge momentum for the program. Still rooting for us, and I am far from a sunshine pumper.

As far as the rivalry between us and tu, mutual hatred is, IMO, what makes a rivalry. I can guarantee you that many of them hate our very existence more than we hate them, from personal experience.

If I was going to troll it would be a thread like this. If you're trolling bravo. If you're serious, you're operating in a different universe.
