As a native of Columbus and a graduate of the Ohio State University I think that I’m allowed to admit we have our fair share of stupid fans. Luckily those small but loud dummies don’t make the decisions. Day isn’t getting fired. Seriously, who would they hire with a bigger upside? (A slightly bigger but still tiny chance would be Day bolts for somewhere else but I still doubt it.) Losing three in a row to those guys sucks but at least this one was not as unexpected. The last two I still don’t fully believe (which is why the sign stealing stuff is so easy to believe). The good news is I’m pretty confident that particular worm is about to turn. The NCAA hammer is coming, Harbaugh is likely bolting, they are graduating most of their best players, and we’ll have a whole new batch of 5 stars waiting for them in Columbus next year. It’s nice to know that when tOSU goes thru of rough patch they still get ten plus wins a year.

If you live in Gotham City your name can directly lead you to a career as a super villain.

That guy’s first name was Speed and last name was Racer. What if the poor bastard had just wanted to be a pastry chef?

It’s pretty nice seeing the Seahawks getting the arse kicking they deserve while wearing this uniform. It’s impressive that they can look as bad as they do in their usual uniforms and somehow pull out an alternate that’s noticeably worse.

If that drooling idiot Tony Romo says the Cowboys can win the Superbowl one more time I’m going to get in my car, drive to Dallas and punch that embarrassing homer in his pansy face. Shut up, a hole.

I was just coming on to mention this. To everyone giving a thumbs up to this fake “throwback”… if you can’t get the colors right, what’s the point? The Cowboys shouldn’t be wearing navy. Pretty much ever.

Am I supposed to know what this means?

Apparently you can’t see them winning any games, and yet that’s all they do.

Green Bay vs. Detroit Washington vs. Dallas San Francisco vs. Seattle Miami vs. NY Jets Tampa Bay vs. Indianapolis New England vs. NY Giants Pittsburgh vs. Cincinnati Carolina vs. Tennessee Jacksonville vs. Houston New Orleans vs. Atlanta LA Rams vs. Arizona Cleveland vs. Denver Buffalo vs. Philadelphia Kansas City vs. Las Vegas Baltimore vs. LA Chargers Chicago vs. Minnesota

Seriously, guys… stop sending me pee. My fridge is full.

Michigan fires their Linebackers coach for destroying evidence. When I was a kid I loved playing dominoes.

Cincinnati vs. Baltimore Pittsburgh vs. Cleveland Las Vegas vs. Miami Chicago vs. Detroit Tennessee vs. Jacksonville LA Chargers vs. Green Bay Arizona vs. Houston Dallas vs. Carolina NY Giants vs. Washington Tampa Bay vs. San Francisco NY Jets vs. Buffalo Seattle vs. LA Rams Minnesota vs. Denver Philadelphia vs. Kansas City

They both surrender against a strong ground attack.

My guess is that they did it to provide a better contrast against the road team's white jersey. There was never any way that tOSU was going to let a visiting team wear home colors in the shoe. You're right, though, that the promo images looked like a lighter shade of gray...

As it turns out, you are correct, sir. https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/news/2023/11/7/ohio-state-to-wear-gray-uniforms "Ohio State has worn various alternate versions of its uniform 33 times since 2009, including jersey/pant combinations of white/gray, scarlet/gray, white/white, black/black, gray/gray and scarlet/scarlet. The newest alternate uniform will feature steel-gray jersey and pants, a slightly darker shade than the traditional uniform pants, and will feature Ohio State's home stripe pattern on the sleeves and pants. The jerseys pop with scarlet numbers and white edging on the front, back and shoulders, in addition to scarlet Big Ten and Nike logos, and the primary Ohio State logo at the crest of the chest. All-gray socks will complete the look. The team will wear its traditional helmet."

So you think they had an entirely new set of pants created that are a slightly darker gray? For this once a year combo? Not out of the question I guess, but seems surprising.

You could just consider having James Franklin as your (apparently) forever coach to be a pretty significant punishment.

Wait … who exactly is America’s team, here?

So Michigan has to go the next three games without Harbaugh stumbling around the sidelines with that dopey confused look on his donkey face? So where exactly is the punishment?

Every time Louisville is on TV I’m stunned at how terrible they look. It seems like every time they’re wearing something brand new I’ve never seen before and it’s inevitably just as awful as the last thing I saw them wearing. What a dumpster fire of a visual brand. They need to start over with that big goofy bird they have painted at midfield and burn everything that came before.

Forget the conspiracy theories about the Chiefs. Somebody tell me why the Cowboys seem to get to play the Giants about 4 times a year.

Doesn't it seem like the Cowboys play the Giants about 4 times a year? Carolina vs. Chicago Indianapolis vs. New England Cleveland vs. Baltimore Green Bay vs. Pittsburgh San Francisco vs. Jacksonville New Orleans vs. Minnesota Houston vs. Cincinnati Tennessee vs. Tampa Bay Detroit vs. LA Chargers Atlanta vs. Arizona NY Giants vs. Dallas Washington vs. Seattle NY Jets vs. Las Vegas Denver vs. Buffalo

The Lions were making no attempt to match the grays. They actually have two different hues of gray in their color scheme. Even on the blue jersey, the numbers are light gray with a dark gray outline. So their alternate jersey isn't supposed to match the helmet. The helmet is supposed to match the lighter gray pants/numbers/stripes of the blue jersey, not the darker gray alt jersey. Sure, it sucks, but not because the grays accidentally don't match... that's on purpose. It sucks because it was/is a terrible idea. Ohio State is attempting to use the same gray throughout. If you don't think it works, that's more a function of the plastic painted helmet gray not looking the same as the fabric jersey/pants gray. So it's just another example (of hundreds) where the helmet color and the uniform color read as slightly different. It has absolutely nothing in common with the Lions' mismatch.

Lions gray jersey does not = Buckeyes gray jersey.
