Ohio State Football Sucks For Realz

Yeah, real news flash there.

Before I get too far, I must congratulate the Greek for the win and wonder why Sparty showed so much mercy.... Between the Rees-esque statue-of-liberty fumble, the interceptions, and the garbage touchdown that Glass Joe (Bauserman) threw as the game ended, it seems that MSU did everything possible to keep the score close.

Anyway, I flew into Columbus this weekend for the shitshow. It's going to get ugly in Columbus (insert snarky comment.... here). The fans booed the team as they left field for halftime, and were giving Bronx Cheers at the end of the game for completed passes and first downs.

Fingers are already pointing. Since The Weasel is a fan of the Toledo Blade's Dave Hackenberg, I'll share this article and point out the best part: "The defense fought all game," Strong Safety Christian Bryant said. "We can't do anything else. The offense is on scholarship, too. Make a couple plays."

The implosion is happening right before our eyes, and we haven't even reached the halfway point yet. While people certainly expected Ohio State to struggle with the loss of it's head coach, 3-year starting QB, and the suspensions of several starters, it was presumed in the press that OSU would stay relevant and compete with Wisconsin for the Leaders Division title... and the forthcoming NCAA penalties may affect such a conference championship.

It's safe to predict that no one in Columbus will be packing their bags for a weekend trip to Indianapolis this December... or even a bowl. At 3-2, the season is about to get very grim for the Buckeyes. Oddsmakers will likely favor the Huskers, Illini, and Badgers in the next 3 games. And unless Denard throws 4 pick-6's to OSU defenders, the Greatest Rivalry In College Football will be a lousy game to watch for the 4th year in a row. It's likely that OSU will struggle to beat all 3 of Indiana, Purdue, and Penn State... meaning that bowl eligibility won't be in question either.

Oh yeah... OSU had 3 more players suspended for this weekend's game. I'm not sure how to interpret this. In order to discover this, you have to hire some good investigators for some good dirt-digging. Without the microscope on the program, this goes undetected. But you would think with all the shit that blew up on May 30, the athletic department would have ankle bracelet tracking systems on every player in the program. Someone needs to get fired.

Question to you all: Will Ohio State win 6 games this year? Will Urban Meyer coach the Buckeyes next year?

In other news, the Tigers and Lions are doing well! At least somebody is winning some games.
