Voted/accepted a team captain role and transferred halfway through the season. Honestly not sure who that reflects more poorly on. 

I mean he's gotten zero playing time behind a guy with a 54% completion rate and 12 TDs to 8 INTs... I see why he is transferring. And even if he did get in, he knows he'd be getting hit often.

Get the buckeye beating out of the way early, so we have that going for us...which is nice.

I have no idea how they pick our West crossover opponents other than Purdue.  We just played Illinois who might be the best team on that side currently and we have to immediately play them again next year, and instead of getting Northwestern who we haven't played since 2019 and only once since 2016 somehow Wisconsin is back up after playing them in 2020.

Without getting to play the only team from the other side that's on our level it's hard to see anything other than likely 1-8 in B1G play again.  Also, depending on how the rest of the season shakes out it might be interesting to see if we play against Jeff Brohm on Nov 25 or Sept 16.

The schedule is funky for us because we have a protected rivalry that is across divisions. Makes everything else "off".

So possibly only 1 Big Ten win over a 3 year period? Oof...

If I hit powerball tonight, I might be able to do half of the 25 million buyout if someone does the other half.

We hadn't played Illinois for 5 years until this season. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. The Big Ten is just weird with this stuff. Nebraska has been in the conference for 12 years now and we've played them at home once. 

 

I applaud them for finding a way to make Purdue play OSU and Michigan in the same year for the first time since 2012.

...and we never even get to start the season off over .500.

And still have the same coach

[LamarCheeks 20,615]

At first glance, I see a 3-9 season. 

And that gets us nine steps closer to 800! 

LEO!

So you've got ISU and Akron (neither of which are givens). Who do you see as the 3rd win?

Scoreboard operator gets completely hammered before the game and puts their points on the IU side?

I actually have us losing to Indiana State and Akron.

I have our three wins coming in the Sept. 2, Oct. 14 and Oct. 28 games!

You can't spell "Losers" with out an L, E, or  an O.  Just sayin'
