Solid song of the day. I enjoy how you tie the SOTD back to your content. I’ve got one black Ohio State shirt. I guess my wardrobe has been determined for me. That was easy.

My games to keep an eye on: 7 USC @ Oregon State, 15 Oregon @ Washington State, Minnesota @ Michigan State, and, of course, everyone’s favorite, Iowa @ Rutgers. Oregon State could be sneaky good playing USC at home. Oregon will be a good chance to see how good WSU is, which best Wisconsin in the road and has USC in two weeks. I don’t think MSU is all that good but for Minnesota to have a shot at Indianapolis, the Gophers have to at least be better than the East’s fourth or fifth best team. And I’ve got Rutgers beating Iowa, 17-10.

Enjoy the day, own the night. Let’s go Bucks!

I am curious to see what Maryland can do against ttun. Hoping they can keep it close to start removing some of that false veneer of invincibility that the delusional people up north have right now.

I don't buy one goddam drop of gas in the state of Michigan!

UMD at least has a pulse but I’m not expecting a miracle. They’ll still get their asses kicked but with an offense similar to ours, hopefully the Twerps will provide some insight into Michigan’s defensive vulnerabilities.

IB, I honestly do not think it would take a miracle for Maryland to win today. They are as talented if not more so on the offensive side of the ball. Michigan's defense has not been tested. While I am not going as far as to call the upset, I will say it will be decided in the last couple possessions.

... and that means two things

Except that’s Iowa’s song. The Hawkeyes take the field to it. Iowa and Virginia Tech have never played—who wouldn’t want to see a pregame battle of the bands faceoff between Back in Black and Enter Sandman?

With a microbrewery on every corner, I am not sure how one finds a need to make craft beer more "accessible".  Oh, I have two ideas.  Lower the price, as the going rate for a pint has grown from 4 to 5 to 6 to 7 bucks, it creates a price-demand curve decline that may appear to make it less accessible.  Finally, and I know lager beer is a much tougher product to perfect and that a figurative metric shit ton of hops covers many imperfections, a few more breweries practicing the art of great lager brewing.  

I have checked in 675 beers on my untapped and I am lazy about checking in new beers and thus access has not been an issue.  I do find going into a brewery and wading through 4 or 5 IPA offerings, a handful of sours and saison's tells me the more traditional ales and lagers will not be great products or of much interest to the brewer.  

When traveling and i come across a great brewery specializing in lagers, I do rather enjoy the experience.  

I know everyone has different tastes and many folks pride themselves on being IPA only drinkers and wear it as a badge of honor.  Good on you and keep tipping them.

On Tap in my kegerator is currently fifty liters of goodness known as Paulaner Maerzen Bier and I do love the Muenchen breweries.  They may be macro in the biggest sense of the word, but very few micros can touch them for consistent quality and great products.  

Oh by the way, be nice to Wisconsin fans visiting, they are great practicioners of the art of drinking and will be suffering a football setback.

If you're ever between Coshocton and Newcomerstown OH, and you're wanting a damn fine lager, stop in at Wooly Pig Brewery right off of St Rt 36. It's run by a small family dedicated to conservation and beer done right. The water comes from a spring on the farm, the hops are grown right there, and the brewmaster studied in Munich.
On to football....

Wooly pig is a cool place I’ve been to a couple times. I’m not the lager expert guy tho. I love Guinness so I use that as the measuring stick and few compare favorably. 

HS
NavyBuckeye91's picture

Czech, I’m in agreement on the overabundance of IPAs. Give me a great lager, Pilsner or Kolsch in the summer. Thankfully, Rheingeist provides a few of those, as do a some of the microbrewers in the area. Seventh Son has some very nice beers, if you’re in Columbus. 

HS
iowabuckeyes's picture

I hate to rain on anyone’s parade but I’d rather drink piss than an IPA. I just don’t get it.

Years ago, before the microbrewery craze took over, my wife and I went to a local bar that had a beer menu with over 200 different brands on tap. It cracked us up to see the local swill we’d grown up drinking (Hudepohl for me and Utica Club for her) on the list as if they were exotic imports.

Imagine my surprise when I saw PBR listed on a “tap list”, and it was priced well above the 24-pack price I recall from my Ensign days. The hipsters made it popular again. Not unlike when Rolling Rock went from a cheap regional beer to some national craze in the 90’s. 

I’ll be really impressed when someone starts serving the large “campaign bottles” of Little Kings Cream Ale. I’ll grab a bunch of HS buddies and we’ll clean the place out.

I read an article years ago I think in the SF Chronicle entitled "Let's Stop Pretending We Like IPAs".

Couldn't have been more on point.

And like Czech said, most "microbrewers" twist their unfixable mistakes into "yeah, we meant to do that". Show me a microbrewery that makes a LIGHT beer...it's hard to hide mistakes in lagers and damn near impossible to hide them in a light beer.

Miller Lite, you're not so bad after all...

If you ever find yourselves in south west Illinois around St. Louis you should try Stag beer. It used to be brewed local and has a cult like following. It’s usually rednecks and old black guys that drink it. My go-to beer!

Good discussion points! 

Yeah, companies/corporations now love to charge a gazillion dollars for something but then blather on and on about their commitments to accessibility and equity. 

The debates about lagers/pilsners versus IPAs/chocolate stouts/fruity ale concoctions/etc. reminds me of the light roast versus dark roars coffee debates. The light roasters argue that dark roasting can be used to hide low quality beans/roasting imperfections as well. I agree that “dark roast” shortcuts are prevalent, but I still love dark roasts. 

P.s. how well does the Paulaner keg hold up on its trip across the Atlantic to your fridge? 

HS
Czechlagerisbetter's picture

Perfectly with regards to trip across the Atlantic.  We always have a keg of German or Czech beer on tap.  If you find yourself near Raleigh stop in .

The "grungy" look is a result of all the black pellets spread out over the field.  Seems as if there is an inordinate amount on the field, but what do I know?

I tend to think of it as a “distressed” look like pre-washed and torn jeans or a t-shirt with faded graphics so that it doesn’t look brand new or a new coffee table that someone best with a hammer so that it looks old and weathered.

Pretty typical for band new turf fields. Until the rubber pellets settle or get compacted from use, it’ll have that grainy look. Then it will develop low spots, and the groundskeepers will fill back in periodically with fresh pellets

HS

Copy that, it’s just that our local high school field is two years old and looks brand new still, I didn’t know if it was supposed to look that way or not but all that matters is that we win right. Go Bucks!!!!

It’s early and I’m kind of down - there was a forum on here (which was eventually removed???) last night on a rumor from Zach Smith that JSN has hurt his leg again…. I’m a big JSN fan and I love watching OSU but this year I was so looking forward to watching JSN play. 
if this is true I would think he’s out for a few weeks now. (Then you got to wonder does he end up not coming back this year since he’s sure to be a first round pick….). After the way he finished the year last season capped off by that Rose Bowl I was so looking forwad to seeing what he could do this season…

Poster was called out for posting rumors and eventually the thread was DV’d (not including me) to where it was grayed out and thus removed. The general consensus was that the injury was a finger on Burke and not JSN’s leg.

Wisconsin’s plan will be the same as ND. High pressure blitzing and safeties deep where no on gets by. The solution is not to wait for plays to develop. Snap the ball, get it out.

HS
iowabuckeyes's picture

On defense, stop Braelon Allen and force Fred Graham Mertz to beat you. It’s that simple. Since Allen became the full time starter, Wisconsin is 10-3 but 1-3 in games where he rushed for less than 100 yards and the one win was last week’s 66-7 squeaker over New Mexico State.

On offense, use the whole field, avoid penalties, and watch the LBs for blitzes or mismatches. Score early and often—Wisconsin doesn’t have the horses to catch up but the longer they stay in it, the better they’re odds are. They want to turn it into a street fight. OSU’s toughness will be tested.

I know this may not be exactly popular but I hate the taste of beer.
