Starting this topic early, but it's never too early!

Excited to see how well Ohio State does this year. The defense should be really good this year. We return a lot of production on the D-Line.

The headline for this GIF is, "When seven are incapable of blocking five, you're in deep trouble".  :-D

Maybe the only D-Line better than OSU this year is Clemson. They might have 3 top 15 picks in next years NFL draft!

Pretty patsy schedule (as usual, sorry) so I’m sure they’ll do just fine. TCU and PennSt of late are good ball games. MI/MSU a total throw up at this point. My game of choice would be to open with OSU vs UCF. I don’t buy the National Champ nonsense they’ve run with as SoS is critical in NCAA football.

OSU plays 3 teams that were in the top 15 as of the final AP poll last season, 2 of those on the road (Penn St. and MSU) and one at a neutral location (TCU). 

I dont consider playing 3 top 15 teams all away from home to be a pasty schedule. It might not be a top notch SEC schedule, but its not terribly weak IMO.

Well PennSt would be the only ‘strong kudos’ win of those 3, and PennSt lost SB to the NFL. MSU as I said is a mystery but I doubt they’ll be of any force this year. It’ll be interesting, but most likely OSU will gain their ‘spot’ by blowing out cupcakes...and hopefully not get humiliated (Iowa) again. That was ugly.

They don’t play Iowa this year. 

As for schedule, Big Ten did only lose one game in the bowls last year. The Big Ten east is going to be a gauntlet this year. 

It isn’t like the other playoff contenders have tough schedules except ND.

This is true...damn good bowl performance for sure. I know they don’t play Iowa...I meant hopefully they don’t have another fluke happen like it did with Iowa.

Losing by 34 (iir) is not a fluke-- that is a whoopin'

Whoopin's can be flukes

The stars aligned. The QB played a Big Ben All Pro type of game. He had a 6'5" 265 defensive end grabbing his legs, trying to take him down, and he flicks a fade route to a perfect spot. This was the prototypical, every player played out of their minds. The game calling was perfect. They obviously stole the OU playbook that worked really well against OSU earlier in the season.  There are some places you do not want to play, and it is at Iowa, when they are the underdog. It's shocking how some places can develop a history of upsets.

I agree. Everything went wrong for OSU and Iowa would’ve given any team in the country a run that day. It happens in all sports...I mean ...Danny Willet wins the Masters? Lol.

As a football coach for the past 16 years I can honestly say you never really know what can happen when your dealing with a group of kids. Granted kids at that level should know better but they don't. They are still kids and they still make kid mistakes. And on top of that...they are not anywhere near as tough as previous generations. They get by on great athletic ability and don't think they need to know the basics. Once things start going bad....they tend to blame someone else. It's an unfortunate byproduct of our ever changing generations character decline.

Taylor Made R7 (x-stiff).
Taylor Made Burner 2 irons (stiff)
Cleveland Wedges (gap and 60)

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
