Disagree.  I was there, and McNeil had a wiiiiiide open shot. He just couldn't drain it.

That being said, we shouldn't have been in that situation.  There are a lot of "if" situations, but truly, the one stat that grabs me is our FT%. We literally could have won the game if we were decent in that fundamental.

Please tell me you didn't take the time to make that.

Wow.. that's harsh.  Care to tell us why "everyone" on the staff is garbage, outside of your suppositions?

Ehhh.. Nebraska is better than you state.  

But yes, this was an awful loss. I was at the game in a good seat.  It's so different with respect to what one can see on TV.  

We gave up inside cuts so easily, and the help defense just wasn't there.  The problem plaguing us concerning leaving wide-open three point shooters, continues.  And for whatever reason, in this game, we were missing layups. LAYUPS!

Key played decently, but seems less involved in the offense in the sense that the game doesn't flow through him. (It should)  Suing's body language indicates that he is not confident.  For me, it seems like our best offense is to isolate Sens, and let him do his thing. 

Good thing Nebraska fans are so nice, and the venue is fantastic. I don't think there is a terrible seat in the house. (Plus tickets are dirt cheap)  

I was at the game tonight, and got a chuckle out of that guy's demeanor!  We called him "The Librarian". Let's just say he certainly made some of our players "check out".  

Spoken like a true redneck.  Not saying you are one.. but that's something Uncle Jethro would say, while trying to equate the great sport of hunting with a high powered rifle, to the sport of football.

Please.. just stop.

Your name says it all.. Stanley Jackson.  Just based on that --a former OSU QB who was known more for completions to the that other team-- you should probably refrain from posting.

Maybe true.

But our lunatic fringe is definitely among the elite of lunatics.

I don't understand how that changes the fact they are kids.

Wth is wrong with some of you who believe that the amount of money one makes correlates with how much ridiculous, over-the-top toxic vitriol they should receive? 

The worst part about what you describe is that (I would bet anything) the majority of such posters have never played a team sport at a decent level.  I mean.. the way some people talk, and expect perfection, one would think they believe playing versus a Georgia, or an UNC (in basketball) is the same as playing some NAIA school. In other words, they don't care about the caliber of opponent.  Furthermore, "they" have no concrete suggestions on what could be done differently; most of the time, it's general feedback on what should have been done during a different play, or who should have been in, or what play should have been called, all in the absence of what the coaches, staff, and players know in the moment.

Most of the time, I despise Coach Potatoes, because they use hindsight as a "better than thou" factor.   

And what exactly is a "personal attack", to you? Because I see plenty of comments in here from the "Coach Potatoes" who creep more towards the dark gray area (of attacking a player or coach personally) rather than the light gray.

Since when? 

Most of the commentary I have heard from him over the years has been pro-OSU.

He was cheering on the backups. What should he do? Admonish them?

Again, STFU, imbecile.

You're not kidding.  Hell, I'd help you, over watching this game.  I'll even bring some whiskey.

Huh? What do you have against Fowler?

Wth is wrong with some of you in these comments, attacking Fowler, or Herbie, or Smart or Bennett, for seemingly no reason?

We f-ing lost to Georgia with a lot of crappy circumstances during the game. Okay, I get it.  But those people had nothing to do with the officiating, or what TCU is (not) doing, tonight.

Dude.. I am as sore as any Buckeye fan over the loss to Georgia, but idiots like you need to STFU.

Bennett and Smart were nothing but class towards OSU after that game.  

All of your bit&&y a&^ comments towards Bennett are just.. well.. let's just say you need to check your pants.

Like I said, punk, you are pure, unmitigated TRASH.  

See yourself out, and don't come back.

Another trash take by you, Hoody.

You're garbage. Please take yourself out (of this forum).

It's ridiculous, I agree. They should be on ESPN, for sure.

So proud of them, though! I will be watching!

If he didn't call the TO, and we played straight-up and lost on a contested shot, these moron fans would be up-in-arms, regardless.

It doesn't matter how well he coached, or how good the players showed for a game; if we don't win, they all suck.  That's the mentality of these Buckeye-ultras.  They are flat-out crazy.

I'm with you, Costinjr.  

The insanity of these Buckeye "fans" after a close loss.. keep in-mind this was to a very good Purdue team, in expecting perfection, is just draining.  

These idiots live too vicariously through the lens of OSU sports, and probably are failures in life.  Otherwise, I have no explanation how people can be so angry with a coach who has had a good tenure, and definitely coached a good game, tonight.  Either the players execute, or learn from it.  

This is the best group of players that Holtmann can call his own, and they are waaaay ahead of schedule given their youth,

The problem I have with such criticism in this context is that it came against Purdue, not "Backwoods Redneck State".

They lost by two, the youngsters played well. Chill out.

I don't trust your assessment of Day over that of a lobotomized squirrel's.

Your comments here have been off-the-mark, and incredibly entitled,  Idiots like you keep cherry-picking D stats from the last two games, as if the defense hasn't been much better than last season.  Dishonest trash is what you are, especially considering this is Knowles first season with us.  Yes asshole, you have to give him more than one season, and he has to get his athletes in play.  

This is such a myopic, asinine comment. One that last drive.

Ran - 2 to 3 yard loss.

Throwing down - almost got sacked; CJ had to curl out of pressure and throw it out-of-bounds.

Your take on what should have been called in laughable, especially given who we were missing and the fact that GA was bringing pressure on every down.  Just shutup.  I can't stand trash COACH POTATO fans like you.  Go pass out.
