UM Fire
The man, the myth, the legend
Any suspended players except for the quarterback . . .
True, but under normal circumstances, I'm of the opinion that Pryor was going to leave for the NFL anyway.

You forgot my favorite - Brady Hoke went 11-2 and won the Sugar Bowl the year the Buckeyes went 6-7 (2011)
I follow the Buckeyes pretty closely and never got that vibe.True, but under normal circumstances, I'm of the opinion that Pryor was going to leave for the NFL anyway.
Just goes to show what playing real defense can do for a RR coached team![]()

What does that have to do with 5-4-1 record of the Ten Year War (which even in that 1 tie, Michigan was clearly the better team)?
Yes they were 1/2 game better without the 3 NC. I will take the 3 NC over the 1/2.
What does that have to do with the other 10 wins?![]()
I'll give you the lying/coaching change but the sanctions really didn't affect that game. Any suspended players were able to play and the scholarship restrictions, small as they were, didn't kick in until later.
IMO, it's not automatically a good sign when a coach has a really successful first year.
Will Muschamp went 10-2 his first year at Florida, and that was the peak.
Gus Malzhan took Auburn to the championship game his 1st year, and they lost 5 games last year, might lose even more this year.
Kevin Sumlin had Johnny Manziel winning a heisman his first year. They've been in decline every year since. This year they are getting some hype and may have turned it around, but this is like his 4th year so it's taken awhile.
Helfrich with Oregon bucked the trend for 1 year. They went 11-2 his first year, and then 12-2 last year with the playoffs. But then they've nosedived hardcore this year.
Urban Meyer is the only one off the top of my head that had immediate success that has been able to maintain it.
You take the moral victories the Buckeyes will take the NC.They still had to win the other 9 regular season games and that Sugar Bowl.
Which dumb moves by OSU coaches is kinda a trend

Only a matter of time before Urban Liar does something to get himself fired.
Wait are you implying that having Luke as the coach for tOSU that year had no effect on the game since all the players were there?
You take the moral victories the Buckeyes will take the NC.
How many since the 40's? Yeah let me rephrase, you take the moral victories and the leather helmet NC and tOSU will take the modern NC.Is that why Michigan has 11 and OSU only 8?![]()
I'm impressed with what Harbaugh has done, without one single crazed bro-off with an opposing coach.

Yet, you forgot to say yet. I'm holding out hope for another "what's your deal" moment around say Thanksgiving weekend![]()
Last year is gone. New season. If they make it to the NC they will lose big
Just an outsiders point of view here. I like what I see @ Michigan, but to say tOSU is going to lose ANY conference game big is pretty funny.
When was the last time they lost a conference game at all?
