There's a lot to dissect about the game yesterday, and we at Eleven Warriors will of course have you covered from every conceivable angle; the running game, Barrett's mediocre day passing the ball, how stifling the defense was... pretty much anything that you'd want to know about the contest against Tulsa will be analyzed and scrutinized to the nth degree. Guys like Tim and Eric and Ramzy and Kyle and DJ and all the rest are pros who can be relied upon week in and week out to give you the best Ohio State sports news in the business.
However, there is one topic that only I – Johnny Ginter – can provide in depth coverage of in my capacity of Weekend Twitter Guy, and that is the scourge of Dad Jokes that arises every time Twitter gets extremely bored, in this case anticipating/during a rain delay.
For the uninitiated, Dad Jokes are bad jokes that a dad would tell. "I'm hungry." "Hi Hungry, I'm Dad." Etcetera. In yesterday's case, it was a litany of jokes related to both the rain and Tulsa's team name (the Golden Hurricane). All of these jokes sucked in a jovial kind of way. We even made one.
But that does not excuse the avalanche of puns that I was subjected to for four hours and eighteen minutes yesterday. They are the lowest form of humor, and can only be enjoyed by football writers high on their own supply of craft services in the press box. Normal human beings cannot enjoy these jokes. So knock it off!
"...Knock it off where?" Aaaaaa dammit!

SICK TNT MEGABURN OF THE WEEK
Tulsa's kicker is named Redford Jones, which is also probably the name of a TNT series about a quirky private eye who does things his way
