I do think my friend was right. However, the WAY we lost was what bothered me. Zero intensity and passion.

During his two years as a starter, Boeckman has been frequently compared to Craig Krenzel. As I sat and watched this game in disgust, I really scoff at those comparisons. Krenzel always found a way to win. In the multiple games without Clarett the championship season, Craig stepped up his play. Boeckman has DIGRESSED over the last 10 games. He shrivels in the face of adversity.

I think TP is the wave of the future. Start him now and let him grow. I know the media consensus is that the Big 10 sucks, but Wisconsin, Illinois, and Penn State will not be cake walks. If the Buckeyes hope to get to a BCS bowl game, Pryor needs to be the first option.

After the season is over, I think Tressel reassesses his subordinates. There is no way explanation for a senior-laden team to lose in the FASHION in which it lost tonight. I think the top two coordinators need to go.

However, these issues go back to 2006, with the previous group of Buckeye players. Same problems, different players = coaching problems.

It’s everyone. Graduation and the NFL have changed the players, now it’s time to change the coaches. We’ll start with the assistants, and if improvements don’t come – it’ll be time to say goodbye to the Vest. It’s not about winning and losing – it’s about humiliating the university again and again and again.

G’night all. Have a good week next week.

And it’s not just this game… this is the seventh game in a row that the scheme has been absolutely wrong. The players are not playing with discipline and class. They haven’t played with anything remotely looking like swagger, pride, or intensity.

And the worst decision EVER is Tressel’s in benching Wells for the game. When he did that, he told the world he wasn’t as serious about this game as he was Troy next week. Pathetic.

And now as I type this, the offense has totally given up. Completely. No coach is talking to them on the sideline – they’re letting the players sulk. Pathetic again.

On the plus side, we now know what is reasonable to expect with this team. Perhaps eight wins this year would be nice.

I’m interested to hear your reasons, besides the 3 and 4 call.

Early in the 2nd, it was 3rd and 4, and the playcall was to 180 pound Boom Herron in the I. Naturally, it went for a loss, but the Bucks got the first down on a facemask. They caught a break, but you now understand why OSU cannot play with the big teams.

This coaching staff does not have any aggressive streak to them. Looking at USC’s schemes and coaching… I admit I’m jealous. That’s how Tressel used to be. Why he’s changed in the past four years, I don’t know.
