| FTBL A Buckeye Board's Condensed Game Thread

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

So, I took a dive into the Championship Game thread on Buckeye Planet last night for entertainment purposes. It's a 185 page thread. I pulled out some posts, in order, for those that want to re-live the action from their view. As you'll see, they pretty much tapped out at the half. Hope you find it as entertaining as I did.... [if bad language bothers you, just skip it]


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’ll be thrilled to watch some pregame without the “Bama is an unbeatable juggernaut!” narrative. Bring on 7pm!

Bama suck fest on ESPN rn... Ugh

I'm not usually one to wear a jersey watching the game at home, but I did it for the Clemson game. Same jersey again tonight. Go Bucks!

Supposedly their center who tore up is his knee 3 weeks ago is out on the field dressed cause why the fuck not...

GAME PREDICTION:
1.Sermon has more yards than Harris
2.Olave or Wilson have more yards than Smith
3. 42-35 Buckeyes!

Let's fucking GOOOOOO

IT'S ON BITCHES!!!!

That was a fugly series

Sermon hurt?

Sermon shoulder. FUCK

You might want to tackle someone there...

Last week started the same way

Too much time for Jones.

Even if they don’t call it a TD Bama is lining up and shoving it in..

i actually hate whats going on.

fuck you herbie he wasn’t twisting and turning it

Let’s go offense, get some points

Ruckert! What a catch!

Boooom! Answered right back!

Uppa u nose with a rubbah hose, Bama!

Ok, let’s get some defense now

Why the fuck was Smith that wide open!?

Crikies... his hands are so good.

What the fucking fuck was that. QB didn't have anyone within two yards of him, and WR was wide fucking open.

Bama seems to know exactly what OSU is doing on defense.

We’re getting torched

Jesus, another fucking injury...

God damn! Harris is a beast.

God damn how did he get positive yards there? Shit

What the fuck

Can. Not. Tackle.

Yep, I’ll take the first quarter tie. Tough game.

Nobody’s on the Heisman winner?

how the fuck can we not know where #6 is at ALL TIMES

Fucking ballnuts

Better put up 50 something to win this

We’ve got the bend part going but not the “don’t break”

Fuck me sideways

Literally NO one on that entire side of the field....WTH?

Shut the fuck up Fowler, he hasnt thrown a challenging pass yet.

Huge 3rd and 8 there. Fields squeezed that one in there...and then we get a dumb penalty.

Bama D line is eating us alive.

Late hit much? What a clown show

Smith wide open once a fucking gain!

Jesus Christ. It cannot be that easy.

FUCK YES BARON!!!! Damn did we need that.

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAGUUUUUEEEEEE!!!!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Need to stop them now. Cut off Davonta's balls and shove them in his mouth old school KGB style.

Damn. What a throw and catch. Absolutely nothing you can do there.

Can't cover this guy

Shit they are running the fuck out of it

Alabama's like a villian in a James Bond movie. Everything they do works perfectly while we have to struggle for a simple first down....

Jesus throw the fucking flag

Well Alabama's punter can take the night off

Bloody hell

This defense is burnt toast. Jesus.

We all had nightmares of Borland chasing Harris in the flat

I don't know if Borland could even take that gigantic Bama guard in a foot race

Like I said..... everything they do works.

Well I guess they are not going to call holding tonight

Every goddamn play they get a first down. They are playing with zero pressure. Can’t even force second downs, let alone third downs.

Sober pregame me should have written drunk now me a message that we weren't going to slow this offense down very much. It's why I bet heavy on the over.

Herbie we don't give a shit frankly

What's the most yards ever given up in a championship game? We might be headed there

Maybe the 2nd half is when Bama players start to worry about their draft stock

Fowler screams when Bama makes a play and sounds disappointed when we do

Now we're playing Buckeye football. Run those fuckers over man

Someone make a play here. Need 7.

Targeting on yo asses!

bye bitch

Cue the whining bammer fans

Saban to his credit not going nuts

Shit. Gotta take the 3, get another stop.

I like 24-21 going into half

Huge possession here. They get the ball to start the third. Can't afford a TD drive here that eats the clock.

Fuck 2nd and 15. No problem.

How, how, how do you keep letting him do that?

Defense is getting pantsed.....

The actual goddamned fuck are you doing, Wade? Fucking jogging in the national championship game. JFC.

How in the FUCK is he open every fucking play in the red zone?????????

i am sick and fucking tired of watching LB’rs chasing 6. this is beyond stupid

Sorry guys....I'm out. I'm too sick to deal with this shit still. Go Bucks!

I swear to God, if I watched the SECN feed with the bama announcers it would be better than Chris Fucking Fowler.

Why even field a defense at this point. Someone is wide the fuck open every time

So this is what it feels like to be Oklahoma

Time to respond with a 3 minute td drive.

Can't afford to give them the ball back

lol they stopped us with 10 players

What kind of shit...goddamned it

Prepare your assholes

Welp. Go Browns.

If they score here it's gonna be over.

Everything they do works. EVERYTHING. Insanity. Well oiled machine

It’s allllll over clap, clap, clap clap clap

Trending towards 63-24

This is painful

WHY THE FUCK IS BORELAND COVERING SMITH????? Fire Coombs at halftime. fuck him

We could have 15 players on D and still leave Smith wide open.

Ok. I’m embarrassed now.

This is an absolute embarrassment that THIS is the best you came up with to stop Devonte Smith. A 4-4???? A four fucking four is the best you could come up with? What fucking year is it, 1993?

Could be worse than 2007 Florida

Really now you call holding?

Fuck these refs. Call a fucking hold on Bama you fucking cowards. But you won't. Saban has you by the balls.

Is it possible to get Covid from this game? I'm feeling a little sick.

What the fuck is Herbie talking about???

Notre Dame gave up 31 all game.... How?

There's no reason we should be killing clock. They get the ball to start the half. We're pretty much giving up on this.

Anyone remember the channel that had that Brooke Shields movie?

Day asking for mercy and Saban not giving it.

Alabama should have taken the penalty and threw a hail mary probably 20% chance they score.

I may not watch the second half. Saban is going to go into revenge mode for 2014, and I'm not sure I have the stomach for that.

Well guys, I’m gonna head to the garage and get high. Enjoy the halftime.

All y’all’s souls better be cleansed as hell, because this is a straight-up ass-kicking.

I am torn between watching the second half or a Sally Struthers informercial from the 90s on YouTube.

Not sure who missed it but Saban said with a smirk at the end of his halftime interview: “There’s no scoreboard as far as I’m concerned.” Damn, man is cold and is straight up planning to run it up. I respect it, actually. Ain’t even bulletin board material. He just knows we can’t stop them.

Fuck all three of these fucks on my tv right now.

God Damn this comeback is going to be Legendary.

Onside kick to open the half? Why not?

A drop? Maybe Smith IS human?!?

Dislocated finger

Looks like it's going to be a steady dose of Najee Harris in the second half.

Did Waddle just cook Wade with a broken leg?

Why is Waddle even playing?

Easy, easy, easy. Everything they do is so easy.

Never seen our D look so helpless

Harris is just embarrassing the defense

Seriously though, wtf do they feed the Bama RBs? I can't think of a single Bama RB over the last 10 or so years that hasn't been a "drag 5 people for 5 yard every play" type of freak.

Fuck Mac Jones. Can't wait till some dumbass franchise drafts him in the first round only for him to get eaten alive when he has to face pressure and can't throw slants all game.

They took mercy on us and kicked a field goal. I would've gone for it, and liked my chances.

Has one team ever scored 56 points in one drive?

Why does anyone give a shit what LeBron thinks?

Holy Fields!!!

Ok ok ok, now like three or four 3 and outs and we good.

Need a stop here.

Whoever told Day to challenge that....Jeez. Not even close.

Aaaaaaaaand fuck

Both their stars are out of the game and still can't stop them wtf

Jesus Wade

It's bad when Herbie calls you out on your effort.

Fuck this. How the fuck do you not see that coming. Again and again and again they do it and no adjustment to be found.

Embarrassing. Fucking Vanderbilt and Missouri weren't this bad at slowing down Bama.

Fuck Teague. That is pathetic. Get a fucking yard you can't run sideways there.

WTF are we doing?

The fuck was that series. Jesus. A stretch play on 4th and 1 with Teague? Fucking hell.

Time to switch to hard liquor

Fuck COVID

He's throwing for over 500. This is an embarrassment. I'll watch Fields one more time then head to bed

Saban is going to go for 70 now...and Kerry Coombs deserves every last one of those points

Sark is pantsing Coombs and stuffing his head in the toilet. Ohio State looks like a slower Ole Miss on defense.

Remember when people said Bama was dead last year?

Ohio State’s defense doesn’t even know the question let alone the answer.

4-4-3..against the bama passing attack...lollolololol

lol. Day running the ball so Bama doesn't score 70... lol

I'm not even going to watch the end. This is just going to turn into Saban Revenge Porn.

Great throw and catch there. Onside it.

shit that TD is coming off the board

blow a cock herbie

Why does OSU have to use their TO's to get a damn review? BS

I have it muted. How was that not a TD?

Well, at least they won’t have to beat their wives tonight. Probably still rape their dogs, but that was going to happen either way.

A stop! The comeback starts now!

how is this OL getting abused like this now...

Good god. How are there still 5 minutes left?

Day just quit on his team and on Buckeye Nation by punting. Are you kidding me? Quitters shouldn't stay.

And there they go slurping Jones and acting like he's in a body cast.

Fucks sake, guys. You had one last chance to get off the field and you go out on that sad effort. Jesus, proctor. That was awful.

622 yards of offense and it should have been worse if they hadn’t buttoned everything down in the 4th. That was fucking miserable.

Congrats to the Tide. Fuckers

Saban, please quit soon.

The better team won. Doesn't really require a lot of analysis.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

How i felt after 2018 Clemson game....

 

[c5vetman]

that was one of the best meltdowns I've ever seen. Classic.

 

[Skipz]

We’ve got the bend part going but not the “don’t break” --that one made me laugh

"God Damn this comeback is going to be Legendary. " gotta respect his optimism.

That was awesome. I think we just found our new writer for the the meltdown thread. Thanks, Graff! That was awesome.

There's just something so fulfilling about the meltdowns.

 

[alabama mike]

I'm rolling! Its great living in Ohio and having all my friends here at school talk nothing but respect for Bama. Several friends that I do not work with also have called or sent messages congratulating Bama on the win.

 

[#80]

LMFAO !!! .... thanks for posting it I enjoyed every word. Buckeye nation is #3 on my hate list behind the barn and ND.

 

[rick4bama]

 

[bama alum]

I watched the Gamecast with Eli. Did Herbie actually try to maintain some kind of neutrality?

 

[Bamabww]

I watched the Gamecast with Eli. Did Herbie actually try to maintain some kind of neutrality?

I thought so. With our Crimson colored glasses and ears it's easy to pick things out to say he wasn't but I think he and Fowler did a good job.

@Brandon Van de Graaff , thanks for going to all that trouble. That was one of the best yet.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

that was one of the best meltdowns I've ever seen. Classic.

Best ever was the Capital One Bowl game thread on the MSU board when they played Bama (2010). Every summer I go back and read it at least once to get ready for the season.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I watched the Gamecast with Eli. Did Herbie actually try to maintain some kind of neutrality?

I think it's just a case of fans always thinking [insert play by play or color guy here] is against them and it is magnified when things are not going well.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I will say this... I read most every post in the thread. I was actually pretty surprised at how many admitted their respect for Bama and Saban in particular.

 

[AFF]

LOL. I did the same thing on elevenwarriors last night. They have their threads split out by quarter. Some hilarious stuff. Much of the same. I swear I read all four quarters. Good stuff. Glad I'm not the only one who enjoys the misery other fan bases.

Here are some from the 2nd Qtr:

Good news is we're making them work hard for their points. Bad news is they're getting points.

I think we got them.

Big difference so far- Fields has had pressure around him, Jones has no one within 10 yds of him.

Bama LOS looks like us last week, we look like Clemson

Does OSU know that they should always have eyes on the best player in the country?

HOW THE FUCK IS HE THAT WIDE OPEN WHAT THE FUCK

How do we continually leave the FUCKING HEISMAN WINNER unaccounted for so often???

That’s poor coaching. Inexcusable to let Devonta free.

Its like 7 on 7 for Bama's offense. They might never stop this offense.

We’re gonna have to score a lot of points

Jesus fuck, maybe COVER THE HEISMAN WINNER

Alabama can’t keep these long drives going all night. Everyone brags about how they can drive 80 yards in 2-3 plays. They can’t drive 10-15 plays consistently all night. Defense is doing great!

Says who? They are going through the defense like its a joke

It has been so far. So much for "bend but don't break"

It's not great but if you thought bama wouldn't score u r an idiot. There are plenty of excuses but we don't make em

Who the hell isn't on devonte smith?

I think our d will get stops, just need to tweak a few things, and need offense to keep up in the scoreboard. Let’s go O!!

What are you basing that on?

Really not feeling good about this game : (

That play was telegraphed from 10 miles away. Wtf. Just one person freaking stay on smith. There is no reason to ever not have 1 player on him.

The good news thus far is that they've got Harris and Smith and no one else has done much. Just gotta start covering the guy, terrible defensive calls so far.

Jesus. How defeating to see Devonta Smith literally walk into the endzone basically untouched...

Savvy move - Don't have anyone cover the Heisman Trophy winner.

HOW IS THE HEISMAN WINNER CONSTANTLY BY HIMSELF

Ole Coombs is getting worked tonight. He is about 10 steps behind the drunk

These DBs should be embarrassed. You need to knock Smith on his ass.

No shit put 2 on him at the line and beat him up

Alabama puts their WRs in the middle and lets them use their speed to the outside. It like an 80s video game, but how do we not have a man allocated to cover Smith at all times???

I don't think it's too soon to say that we have GOT to prevent Bama scoring to end the half, given that they get the ball to start the second half. If we go down two scores, we can all go home.

Fowler creaming his pants talking about Sark's playcalling

It was an amazing play call, to be honest.

I’m not sure that the Bucks really have a chance without forcing some turnovers.

That wasn’t Coombs fault Banks took off running across the back to follow Smith and Smith stopped and went back and Banks kept running the other way...

Double Smith. Triple Smith. If Waddle is in the game, force passes to him, he can't run.

Also off because OL is getting manhandled and Teague can’t pick up blitzes.

Bama just going full Indiana on defense now

Fields not sharp enough tonight for us to win I am afraid. I hope we just keep it close and not get blown out

Fighting for every yard and they are marching down with no effort, gg

We’ve been stopped twice. They haven’t been stopped at all. Not looking like our night

Things aren’t looking good. I don’t see how we win this game

How are we not ready for the pressure with a quick throw? Every time we seem shocked by it.

Undermanned and outcoached. Not a good combo.

I hate to be that guy but it doesn’t look good. We look totally outclassed.

Not looking good. Bama is 10X more physical than us.

I guess this is the part of the game thread when things are about to go wayyyyyyyyy south.

Absolutely HAVE to get a stop here. Stating the obvious, but them going up by 14 and getting the ball at half does not bode well.

Bama D having no trouble getting pressure. Wonder why the buckeyes can't do that?

Coombs is getting worked by sark right now.. and not sure what in the hell out offense is doing

Mac Jones is mostly getting the ball out in 1-2 seconds. We never seem to do that.

Alabama looks like they already adjusted on D. Let's see if we have. We can't wait until second half in order to do so.

Well shit

You guys give up on games way too easily. Grow a pair all of you.

They just dont have the horses...

Bama defensive coaching better then our offensive calling - Bama/Saban ready for things - pressure/blitz from different places

No answer for Smith.

That's the break we needed

Fuck yes! We fucking got this shit

That's what we needed baby!

There's one of those breaks that is going to determine this game. Neither team can afford turnovers here.

BOOM!!!! HUGE STOP AND ANSWER!!!

Teague looked like a Mack Truck on that run

Huge momentum boost right there!

Turnover was huge. Great job by Browning

Buckle up, Bama.

Where are all the quitters. Post now bitches

Not bitterness, just honesty - I’m not so sure that Mac Jones isn’t just like those mid 2000 USC QBs - a trigger man who always has a clean pocket and is surrounded by elite weapons.

He’s a slightly better A.J. McCarron.

Need. More. Whiskey. It's working!

THEY ARE THROWING IT TO #6

WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING

Jeez, that kid is talented.

shoot he's good.

Coombs has no idea how to cover smith

In fairness, no one has.

We are getting beat by a single player

That was a nice play design by Bama on that slant

Sarkisian is legit. Seems like every play has a clever wrinkle

Man its just pitch and catch... holy crap

Zach Harrison got bulldozed and Borland had no chance to tackle Harris in the endzone

Gross. They are just abusing our defense.

Christ Kerry WHAT kind of CRAP defense are you dialing up here??? MY god its like 4th team defense vs the starters.... What the heck

Borland playing against these kind of athletes is a joke. Feel sorry for him.

Jesus. Sark taking Coombs behind the woodshed

It seems like we just don't have the personnel to keep up with these guys

Drinking too much. They need to help me out here

Damn. My liver has no chance right now.

Borland will never be able to cover Harris, a matchup Bama should keep exposing

They r just toying with our D. It’s not even a fair fight so far.

Good Lord. This is just like those USC offenses circa 2004-2005.

Sarkisian always has an outlet route if the QB is pressed.

Bama is just more talented. Haven't come close to stopping them.

That was sub-optimal. We are getting fooled by their motion and they are just getting rid of the ball so fast.

Defensive MVP tuf borland getting absolutely demolished out there...

Borland and Werner look like they’re playing in cement.

Sark is coaching his ass off. No idea what we are doing out there defensively but its not working.

Not even sure a change in scheme would help us on defense.

Their players are talented, but their play calling is making us look slow, lost and unprepared.

Coombs is good enough to beat the teams he should. he Can’t compete vs Bama

Bama o line 10 times better than Clemson

Also, has anyone on here actually watched Bama this year? If so, you cannot be surprised by what you're seeing out there.

Anybody going to hook Chris Fowler up to an Iv? He’s going to be dehydrated stroking off to Devonta Smith so much.

Bama does not respect this DL and Mac Jones is going to beat this blitz all night because Bama always has someone uncovered. Outside of one play, Bama has been damn near fucking perfect.

Statistically bama is smoking us, and we are down 7

First team to 70 wins.

Look, we were never going to stop them but holy cow what they are doing on defense schematically is horrid. We’re playing a 4 4. Not even giving our guys a chance.

I’m terrified right now

Targeting! He's out of here!

Wooooow cheap shot mother fucker

Goodbye Jordan Battle

Good field goal for the youngster

He is WAY off his game tonight. Aint gonna win this with Field goals.

That’s a Clemsonesque FG settle. I’d rather go for it than get 3 there.

That really sucked. Huge wasted opportunity. If Fields is off, I dont see how we can keep up. FUCK

Najee is getting yards after contact way too much

D line getting whipped

I hate to say it, but our defense is getting manhandled so far.

This is like shooting fish in a barrel for Jones. Guys wide open.

The rout is on.

Smith way to good for our corners....

Devonta Smith was wide open before that ball even got snapped. Coombs sucks and good riddance to Wade.

My big fear was Smith having a Sammy Watkins type game, and it looks like it is coming true.

Game is done. Good season, worth it for the Clemson win and Big Ten title.

Just no answer for Smith tonight.

Bama is really good, no doubt. But this defensive scheme is TERRIBLE.

We literally cannot stop them. It’s like tonight was pre-ordained.

This defense has no chance. Bama is just too good. Great season but the defense is so outmatched in this game. The defensive coaches have no clue. Them playing Borland is just inexcusable.

you'd think we'd finally learn how to defend the motion in and go out play. Smith has only done that 30058533543 today

Bama looks to be on another level. I think the stars may have aligned for that Clemson game (which everything pointed to).

Sarkisian is making Coombs look like a JV coach.

If Chris Fowler could suck Smiths dick, he would.

173 yards and it's not even the half.

Disastrous. Not only do we give them 3 mins but they get the ball to start the second half.

Dang, clemsum was our natty. Glad we beat those turds. Just not seeing an apex from our boys now.

Pretty pathetic play calling and defensive coaching or bama is just a juggernaut. Looks like they will score about 150 tonight

yeah lets put a linebacker on devonta

Borland covering smith. Get the fuck out Coombs

Game's over; out coached and outplayed; Coombs should go back to high school

So...Bama was the real deal. That much is very clear.

No one said they weren't though

Are you kidding me? Have you been on this site the past week? "Bama hasn't seen anything like Ohio State" Don't think a single person predicted Ohio State to lose this game on here.

I mean Bama is playing without their best WR and starting center. Bucks get no excuses after playing “half a season.”

The main goal now is to avoid a historic humiliation,

WOW, JUST WOW, WE ARE.......im speechless

Bama could get 60+ in this game if they wanted to but they'll (probably. Hopefully) start slowing it down.

Sark is 3 big steps ahead.

Combs has down syndrome that fucking idiot, "HEY LETS PUT OUR WORST LB ON THE HEISMAN WINNING WR"

They picked the right heisman

Ok if we score here we still have a shot. If Fields and Day can get it together...

Nick ain't going to take his foot on the gas. we need to stiffen up on D.

Stop making excuses- there offense is better than ours against our defense and our offense against there defense is not good enough. The offensive play calls by Bama way too good for our defense.....

Bama was better defensively all season long and they were also better offensively. This should surprise no one. People talked themselves into predicting a win here, but on paper Bama was the better team.

Herbstreit’s neck needs a vacation from that shirt.

Fowler’s had a Bama woody all night long. Let’s see PSU try to stop this. You knob.

The good news is we have a second half. the bad news is we have a second half.

Guess my 38 to 31 Buckeye win is not going to happen tonight.

I don’t even fucking care we are losing, we gave up 200+ yards and 3TDs to the ONE FUCKING DUDE who you can’t let beat us. Coombs can seriously fuck off, this is absolutely a fireable offense

Going to bed, just never was gonna happen tonight

Bama may have better plays but this team is being completely outcoached. Disappointing, especially giving up on offense on that drive. Hope the 2nd half adjustments are good or else....

Sadly a reversal of 2nd qtr. We blitzed Clem last week, this week Bama blitzed us.

Smith has 215 receiving yards....in the first half. Coombs trying to start a new religion or something? Because he's incapable of change.

Watching Bama in person and man, they're still all business. Ohio State is not on this level this season.

Not sure in what world being the #3/#11 team in the country playing for a national championship equates to being a laughing stock, but it's not Earth.

This is going to be really ugly unless Bama shows mercy in the 2nd half.

I hate to say this but I don’t know if we can compete with Bama the next five years. Their D-line and O-line recruiting has been off the charts and that’s been the difference.

Sark is using his players and calling a masterful game. Coombs is outclassed tonight.

22/25 340 yards passing in a half, RIP to DBU. What an absolute embarrassment

I'm thinking I'm going to bed. I gotta work in the morning.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Good stuff @AFF! Pretty funny how it matched up pretty well with the other OSU board in terms of comments and flow.

 

[Bamabww]

Thanks @AFF , thank you for putting that together for us. That was great as well.

 

[AFF]

Thanks @AFF , thank you for putting that together for us. That was great as well.

NP. I rather enjoyed it. Funny watching them go from somewhat hopeful to complete defeat and meltdown in the span of 1 qtr.

 

[mando]

You guys know this could be us post Saban?

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

You guys know this could be us post Saban?

No doubt. We just went 13-0 and had some mini meltdowns in some game threads (though one of the main culprits is a stirrer).

 

[RollllTide!]

This is the best post of the season. I have laughed my ass off LMAO

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

Strange seeing all those complimentary statements about UA defense. Very strange
