I don’t know if there is a complete greatest game. But there is a complete greatest half and that’s the first half against Wisconsin in 2014.

Ramzy summed it up nicely here. But the first half stats don’t lie:

I think I pulled a muscle with the stretching done in this lede:

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- When Pierre Charles L'Enfant laid out the plans for the city that would become Washington, D.C., he purposely sought to both inspire visitors and intimidate foes by way of Rome-inspired towering architecture, monuments and marble. A century and a half later, Howard Dwight Smith did the same when he designed Ohio Stadium, adorning the Horseshoe with a Rotunda inspired by the Pantheon, eliciting gasps from Ohio State fans and shivers from those who dared to oppose the home team.

Yup. The more action there is on the turf the more the pellets break down and will get worked down in between the blades of grass.  This is also why the old turf was a slip n slide last year. There was basically no rubber left near the top of the turf and they were playing on basically slick plastic.

I’ve been actually enjoying Bruichladdich’s The Classic Laddy recently. Very surprising for an Islay in that they purposefully kept the peat out of it. They also do an amazing gin called The Botanist.
