OSU Football 2019

My point originally was that OSU is ridiculous about extracting every nickel from under any stone it can find.  Trademarking "the" is, in my opinion, and example of going overboard to accomplish this.

That wasn't what I was saying.  I was commenting on the silliness of trying to commercialize every obscure thing associated with the school.  

Not sure where this cynicism is coming from, but thank you for expressing your hyperbolic opinion, even if it's, as you say, "going overboard".
 

You're welcome.  My cynicism comes from hearing the OSU spokesperson (some vice president making God knows how much) claiming that trademarking "THE" is part of the school furthering its teaching and research mission.  I'd respect them more if they were honest. "We're trying to trademark anything we can that allows us to sell more gear."

Time to take Fields out. Jk, but really.... FAU isn’t even trying to play defense 

I get home and it’s 28-0 with 5:55 left in the 1st.....since I’ve watched I’ve seen 2 punts 😐

OSU is not playing well

They would be losing to almost any Big 1G team playing like they did on the 2nd qtr

Terrible non-safety call

Looks like I jinxed them. My bad

1-0

Yeah, to me, that was just a game where things were way easy in the early going, so they lost a lot of their intensity after it became apparent they'd score 100 if they wanted, which led to a long period of lackluster play. The sort of thing that's understandable, even if we'd rather have them show nothing but killer instinct.

But overall, the only thing that really concerned me was that Dobbins was kind of pedestrian overall. Been reading about how he was ready to explode this season after being disappointed in his performance last year, but he still was under 5 YPC for the game and had a fumble. And having good contributions from him throughout the season when they're playing actual competition is going to be a pretty key element for the team, I'd have to imagine.

2-0 

It doesn’t matter, but LSU jumped the Bucks and Oklahoma in the AP Poll. OSU drops to 6 after beating the brakes off UC.

As long as the same happens next year when tOSU opens a can on the Ducks, I'm fine with it.

not sure where to put this, but thought it was appropriate all things considered...

4-0

Win via complete murder yesterday. And to think, it was only 7-5 after the first quarter.

These early season blowout games are brutal.  I cannot imagine putting down money for a ticket to go and watch this nonsense.  I don't blame OSU - all of the big time schools do it.  But my God, what a complete joke.  The Scarlet and Gray game is more interesting to watch.

lol--and you're probably one of 'those people' who bitch and moan if the margin of victory isn't big enough against one of these early season opponents...and no, the Spring Game is NOT more interesting to watch, believe me.

I'm not one of those.  The scores of these games are meaningless.  In my lifetime, I have seen plenty of teams that run up big scores against horrible opponents only to have bad seasons against legitimate opponents.  In fact, my favorite OSU team was the 2002 NC team which had a close game against almost every opponent - good and bad.  

I just hate these weeks of so many games between top 25 teams and 1-AA type opponents.  It is not enjoyable to me.
