What fanbase is so elite to you then? And I better not find ANY of their fans leaving a game early.

queencitybuckeye;1651536 wrote:Yes, because a handful of fans leaving would be equivalent to thousands leaving.

Not sure smug would be the correct word in the context of my post. To be smug would imply that I'm happy about it.

Edit: Didn't even mention that VT's 6-8000 fans were louder than the home crowd a good amount of the time.

queencitybuckeye;1651532 wrote:O-line: F Nothing to say except horrible.
Receivers: F How can a group of D1 scholarship receivers be so inept at the basic skill of catching the ball?
Backs: D- A couple of good runs, didn't have much to work with, but... Too many cooks in the kitchen, Urban, pick two and coach them up.
Quarterback: D+ At the first sign of pressure, it turned into a running play, needs to keep his eyes downfield. Coaches need to remember that a pass play doesn't have to be 30 yards or more.

D-line: D+ Decent against run, not enough pressure against the pass, and let their QB escape too often when they did get close to him.
Linebackers: C Lee was the best player for tOSU in the entire game, others were solid
D-backs: F What's to say?

Special teams: F Horrid in all aspects

Fans: F-------- Thousands of fans sprinting for the exits with five minutes left in a game where one score means a tie game. Can we stop pretending that we're an elite fan base?

centralbucksfan;1651538 wrote:It would have most certainly mattered because VaTech wouldn't have stacked the line nor been able to blitz as much as they did had Miller been there. But yes, the Oline was horrid. And no, I wasn't happy with our defense at all. BUT, when your offense is 3 and out, the defense rarely has a chance to rest or make adjustments.
But just an all around horrid game on both sides basically. As I thought though, Barrett has a LONG way to go, especially reading defenses. But that's not unexpected with his inexperience.

SportsAndLady;1651546 wrote:So every fan staying the entire game = elite fanbase?

Just stop. OSU absolutely has an elite fanbase. Just because a few fans leave early means jackshit.

Few != thousands. It was a poor argument the first time you used it, and it didn't get better with age. With the success the program, it's understandable why there are a good number of fairweather, entitled fans, but knowing why doesn't change the fact that it's so.
