Yeah, it's not a big deal. The fact that Aulbach has to write something about "Oh! Brian Smith called a Safety a Wide Receiver! Ha! Ha!" shows how petty sports reporters in Columbus can be.

As I go to watch both of my alma maters play on Saturday in Columbus (will be there with a convoy of 80+ and will be a big party), I am intrigued to see how the Bobcats matchup.

As the AI said, turnovers need to happen in spades. That being said, if we're going to leave our secondary on islands like we have the first two weeks, I sense some serious jailbreaks for OSU early and often. Gonna need Sayin to underthrow balls if we're gonna have a chance here. Otherwise, their speed on the outside and size up front will be problems by late 3rd quarter.

As to our offense, we need Navarro moving early and often, setting up play action like they did vs Rutgers, and getting the TE's going early. Getting OSU's defense to move to our QB will be vital in opening everything else up.

Snapping the doggone ball cannot be a sin here. First two weeks that has been a consistent theme and with OSU lickin their chops, we cannot let them feast on this. If we have a bad snap early, I predict 2 turnovers off of this.

Prediction: Win or Lose, We Will Booze (our tailgate starting at 10am......spread of the O/U at 3.5 people from the tailgate don't make it to the game). If anyone wants in on this action, we're standing by.

Game Prediction: OSU 38 Ohio 17

Red pen. Circle it. Underline.

If the snap is even high, Navarro is going to have four first rounders in his face before he even realizes the ball is in his hands. And this kid hates taking sacks. If he rushes a throw across the field.......... 6 the other way.

Last night Channel 4 had a clip of Rufus tackling Brutus. Still get a chuckle out of that.

Kansas was pretty lousy back then. In 2017 they also lost at home to CMU 45-27. They had an upset win vs Texas in 2016 but that was their only win vs 1A/FBS teams in 2016-2017. Their only other wins were vs URI and SEMO.

I enjoyed watching that game in Lawrence. I believe it was the best defensive effort for a half I have ever seen from the Bobcats, 34 total yards in the first half!

OSU fans are eating this up. It’s very annoying

“Don't get caught up thinking about winning or losing this game. If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book, we're gonna be winners!” Now, "Let's win this game for all the small schools that never had a chance to get here."

How many games have we played against #1 in OUr football history?

I tried to research this myself. I can't find anything about it in our game notes or in ant college football historical data sites. So I tried asking Google AI, like I did when had it generate that poem. When I googled the google AI said that it couldn't find any evidence that we ever had along with retuning a list of websites. When put the search engine in AI mode it said this......

"The Ohio Bobcats football team has played against the #1 team in college football at least once, when they lost to the #1 Ohio State Buckeyes by a score of 45-14 in their game on September 13, 2025."

I'd say that it pulled information from several places, misinterpreted something, and then put it together completely wrong. But if we lose by that score then I might start a conspiracy theory. :)

Only one way to get respect.

If OHIO loses big, the OSU fans will think OHIO like so many teams over the years that they manhandled.

But if OHIO gets a few breaks, avoids stubbing their toes and plays very welll but still loses in a tighter game then the OSU fans will simply declare that “We took it easy on you”.

So the only way to gain true respect is to knock them off. GO BOBCATS WIN ONE FOR THE AGES…..

Line down to 30.5

Bobbies bringing in that steaming hot action.
