I was one of about half of the staff here at Eleven Warriors that predicted an Ohio State win, and in fact was tied with Andy for staffer that came closest to guessing how many points that the Buckeyes would end up putting on the board in an epic win against the Michigan Wolverines.
And I will say that if you are trying to claim that you, in any substantive way, believed that 62-39 was the most likely outcome of what transpired yesterday afternoon, I will call you a damn liar because Andy and I were still like 27 points away from correctly guessing Ohio State's offensive output.
So, like... how? That's a good question to start out with. And what? Where, when... why? Who. All good places to start. I have no answers. Maybe social media does!
THE PLAYERS
Huge shoutout to Buckeye Nation for the incredible support. That stadium was absolutely electric today!!! #blessed #GoBucks

I gotta speak my mind. Im tired of hearing them be hyped up every year. Theyre terrible, they been terrible for the past 15 years. The media need to stop gassing them. It aint even a rivalry anymore bc its so one sided!
