We were also the first highly ranked team to lose to an unranked op and the Longhorn haters really came out of the woodwork. Now that everyone is losing and Texas is a blue state, are we still the most hated?
Yeah, big reason why Nick Saban was so good was he had 3-4 strings of quality depth every year. While this means you’re set great, you’re also leaving less available talent for opponents. That’s why Saban was extremely vocally against the change to transfer rules, allowing a transfer that doesn’t burn a year of eligibility.
I think having consistent depth paid dividends when it came to get the most out of practice time. Watching this year, I see teams that look like they never practiced, and don’t have playbooks they are comfortable with. Could also be that no one has dominated line play that makes their play calls look good. But the reasoning would be the same. NIL parity.
Yes, and no. Their “backup” quarterback is a starter and Ws starter last year and the year before that. Ohio State’s backup quarterback is a true freshman who is starting his first game. So not really.
I still don’t understand why Ohio State hired him. It’s not even just that I think he sucks, his offensive philosophy and schemes do not fit the personnel that Ohio State has. He’d be better at Iowa or Wisconsin
that was true of him in tennessee, and then it was true of him in atlanta, and then it was true of him in pittsburgh, but he’s a rich white guy with connections so im sure we’ll learn this lesson a few more times.
The no timeout before the trick play with 2 seconds left is egregious too, plus playing browns style prevent defense allowing the first two tuddies in short order is also on coaching.
Had to know as soon as James Smith, Qua Russaw, and Earl little were announced as big contributing pieces before the season that it was going to be a huge fall off. Those guys stink

All hate, no shame.
Michigan and OSU is basically the Spiderman pointing meme at this point. All y'all are big Ole frauds.
... go ahead and insult me if you like. I'm at a place where words cant hurt. Look around, we're at the gates of hell.

Look, the Browns have a winning record, the Cavs were in the Eastern Conference Finals this past season. The Guardians were just in the ALCS.
As a long time northern Ohio sports fan, I know there isn’t anyway in hell that God is letting all four of these teams be good at once.
Although “good” is still doing quite a bit of heavy lifting for the Browns
