Figured I'd start a game thread. I'm settled here in the press box with nothing much to do but live-blog a little and do some random tweeting. I've already downed as much City Barbecue as I can handle.

Jump right in. I don't want to be the only one commenting here. Could be a yawner, but it'll be worth it if we see a lot of some of the young kids, especially Hall and Berry. That's what I'm hoping for.

24 minutes to kickoff.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:18 pm

Got my bourbon, football time! Probably game hopping after halftime. I'd like to watch Luck throw the ball and see how good 'Bama is. Go Bucks!

by **furls** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:34 pm

I will be glued to the game for all 60 minutes. I am going with 59-0 OSU.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:37 pm

Alright, I'm on QB scouting duty today. They're showing Tex/ UCLA instead. Southern pricks.

by **furls** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:38 pm

WTF is that. What do the refs have to do when an OSU kicks it into the endzone?

by **danwismar** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:43 pm

If you can go by the green and white clothing in the visitors' stands here at the Shoe, Eastern Michigan has about 37 people here among the 105,000.

Just a handful of empty seats here...thought there might be more today.

by **danwismar** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:45 pm

1:04 on the scoring "drive". Wisky put up 70 points today. Maybe the Bucks will top that. Tressel's teams have only scored 50+ four times, with a high of 58, tweets Doug L.

by **FUDU** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:50 pm

I'm going with 50-3.

Pryor will have 5 TDs.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:55 pm

Bucks are on locally, Lil' Dane.

by **danwismar** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:56 pm

sweet throw by Pryor to Lil Dane

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:01 pm

Pryor makes 2 solid throws despite knowing he was gonna get drilled.

EMU is like the Bad News Bears.

To be fair, they rarely get more than that at a home game.

Battle of my alma maters. God, Eastern Michigan is terrible. One winning season since 1991.

We have to start dominating the running game against inferior teams more, especially inbetween the tackles.

Disagree. Always need movement up front. Love to see the option read play from Pryor, which is set up off the running game.

Oh I agree, i'm just disagreeing with FUDU for the fun of it.

Jim Beam Black for the afternoon. Catdaddy for the evening. Pain tomorrow.

I think 59-0 might have been conservative. I could see 70 in this game even with conservative playcalling. Boom looks decent, nice vision, nice instincts. I would be OK with Boom as #1 back, I know he isn't going to get us a bunch of 70 yard runs, but I'll take the fact that I think he gets the most out of every play for his ability. I still want to see some Hall, Berry, Hyde and Smith carries today. I would like to see TP pad his Heisman numbers abit.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:29 pm

Anyone want to cover the TE? Really.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:30 pm

Hines. What a fucking star.

by **FUDU** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:30 pm

I want to see our O line come to fruition for a long stretch of games against these bum match ups (for once in the last 4 years). We really should be seeing huge holes for Herron to get through, and we're not.

24-0 is nice though.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:31 pm

He was down for like 10 minutes.

by **FUDU** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:32 pm

Well if we weren't going to cover the spread I sure as hell figured it would not be due to the D giving up a TD to be honest.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:33 pm

Is it too much to expect 0 yards for EMU? Honestly, they should have 0 yards.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:35 pm

They got lucky.

by **furls** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:36 pm

Playing a really aggressive D-scheme. Lots of blitzes, EMU playing perfectly against it, using 3step drops, quick routes against soft coverage. I have no complaints about the D (surprisingly) thus far.

by **danwismar** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:39 pm

Probably the best drive against the OSU defense so far this season.

by **FUDU** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:40 pm

Wondering WTF our wide outs are having so many trouble getting open, anywhere? While we are a running team first we should be tearing them up through the air as well. I just aint seeing a good outlook with this group of wide outs against a legit team with legit D.

by **FUDU** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:41 pm

Now that was a pretty play to Sanz.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:43 pm

I've been in mirror lake a few times.

Are you going to jump in again if we pull this one out today?

by **FUDU** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:46 pm

I'm thinking CDT has been in a lot of lakes.

BTW a little Troy Smith look to that last play, nice.

by **motherscratcher** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:48 pm

I've seen that stat twice today now. OSU has had 59 consecutive with 100,000+. What is the significance?

My guess is that we've had the capacity for 100,000+ for 59 games. And, assuming south stands doesn't fall down, we will continue to have 100,000+ until the apocalypse.

Just thought it was a strange thing to keep bringing up.

If we squeak by with this W, i'm coming to your house. I like hot wings.

by **danwismar** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:53 pm

Nice game for Lil Dane so far. Nathan Williams looks a little bit fired up today too...he's just killing people out there.

by **FUDU** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:54 pm

For the trivia ? I had Texas, but I didn't even think of VaTech, probably b/c they suck.

by **motherscratcher** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:55 pm

Good to see Hall in there. Hopefully we get some Berry in the second half. It's almost strange the lack of carries that Berry got last week. Don't quite get it.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:55 pm

De he just stiff arm a Dlineman?

Hall doing something we haven't seen much from our OSU backs lately...making the first guy miss.

by **FUDU** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:58 pm

Explain this to me like I'm a 6 yr old, how is 4.41 faster than 4.32?

Push off.

Edit: Nope. Shitty play by the CB

by **FUDU** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 6:06 pm

Quite a disappointing game for the secondary today, no doubt the weak link on the D that needs to get their shit straight soon.

You're like a friggin naysaying machine.

by **furls** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 6:11 pm

Yeah, Dominick Clarke and Pitts Brown have not looked great. Devon Torrence has been weak as well. Clearly the weak link of the D. EMU has just laid the road map for more talented teams. Short drops and passes under the zone and out to the 1:1 receiver. We do not have the typical OSU shutdown CBs this year.

by **danwismar** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 6:15 pm

Halftime stats for Lil Dane: 8 catches for 100 yds.....3 TD's

Sometimes yes, sadly I'm correct much more than I'm not. You're not trying to defend this secondary as anything much better than average are you....

Wait don't answer, I forgot you're drinking.
