You may find that work, school, or other obligations keep you from focusing on Twitter the way you should. Thankfully for you, I'm able to tune out those distractions and provide you with a weekly rundown of the best tweets from around campus.
Entering The Game with a blemish on the record was not what Buckeye fans had hoped, but a conversation I had with a friend following the game put things in perspective: we were comparing this season's loss to last season's loss – "loss," singular. Urban Meyer has lost just four games in four seasons at Ohio State. He is 48-4 with a win percentage of .923. That is utterly ridiculous.
Don't let last weekend's loss take the steam out of Michigan week – this is the pinnacle of the season. This is the only game that matters. A win against Harbaugh and Michigan makes the season, regardless of how anything else turns out.
Besides, there's still plenty to play for. Last season taught me that no matter how the odds look, bad things just don't happen to Ohio State. There is little doubt in my mind that this team is going to repeat as champions. Take it to the bank.
Haven't seen the last of the Bucks, trust me

— Cardale Jones (@CJ12_) November 26, 2015
Pay someone to bring you food? That's an interesting concept. You should work on a patent for that, Dolo.

So many signs on the Oval....maybe I'll see a #Slobs one.

I'm partial to my sign. It was confiscated after about three extended shots behind Herbie's face but you can't very well confiscate the internet, can you ESPN?
I'm not even sure why they took it, to be honest. The sign simply stated a historical fact about Spartans. Maybe ESPN supports media censorship and the whitewashing of history. Makes u think, for sure.
Life's toooo short to bare on the negatives. We shall overcome!

Some people in college really make you wonder how they made it through the department of admissions...
— Liam McCullough (@LiamMcCullough2) November 23, 2015
The average ACT score keeps going up though. The test must keep getting easier. There's no other explanation.
Speaking of stupid people:

This might be the most kicker tweet of all time.
Which reminds me of this:
Buckeyes Play Band
It's Michigan Week, meaning the band came to the WHAC for TBDBITL's annual "Meet the Team" event. It looks like players and band members alike had a blast.

Follow Friday:
- Joe Burrow @Joe_Burrow10 Ohio State's quarterback of the future.
- Mark @MarkTheNomad Here's the thing. I know I've joked about my Follow Friday suggestions being terrible, but this might be the all-time worst. Most of Mark's tweets will make you want to peel yourself and then roll around in a pile of salt. I mean that; they're bad. On rare occasions however, he's hilarious. His stories are unparalleled. He's also a die-hard (and I do mean "die-hard" – he should almost certainly be dead by now) Michigan fan, if you're looking for someone from the other-side to enjoy tomorrow's game with, give him a follow. And be kind – he's already going to hate me enough for sending all of you to him.
