What are your predictions for the game?

Does anyone know if the NCAA requires teams to not be full contact a few practices of the week? High school now has some regulations, I believe, where they can't be full contact a few days a week.

I'm not a fan of burning POBs redshirt this late in the year. Though, the staff will have the best plan in place and know more than we do. From what I've heard, TA isn't an option for this game (likely done for the season, from a girl dating a NE player), but the plan is for Fyfe to play with a protective cast on his arm, but that is a big if.

I think many on here forget OSU came into the game with better athletes top to bottom, and with a chip on their shoulder after their loss. When they started the season, their goal was to win the championship. How many posters on here thought we would win the championship, realistically? Include players and staff. Tommy went down, coaches went into panic mode. Already down big, and our leader was out. I think we win out regular season in close games. This is my opinion, feel free to disagree, but I felt our play calling on offense produced this blowout. I don't know exact statistics, but after Tommy went out, it seemed like we went too pass happy, and put our defense in multiple bad situations, against the best offense we have faced all year. I read a post earlier about running up the score--they didn't do that to us. If their second and third stringers are scoring at will, the blame is on us. They needed a big win after last weeks loss, but also, it was a great opportunity for younger players to get experience in an actual game.

If he plays, we probably won't know until he is in. No reason to give OSU another option to prepare for--catch 'em off guard.

I didn't see the call as wrong or correct. If we were on the other side, and a PI was called, I feel like many on here would have argued about the call and wanted it reversed. In this case, the call didn't go our way. As a coach, I never let my players blame refs for the outcome of the game (and most posters don't seem to be blaming the loss on the refs, but some are hinting at it). Play through adversity, through refs, and play the game. We had chances to win, and some would argue we actually had more calls go our way than Wisconsin.

I'm not sure that is a fair comparison necessarily. Most athletes play the sport because they enjoy it, but also receive a free education. I don't think sweat shop workers enjoy their jobs, plus, they probably don't get free gear/clothes for doing it. Don't get me wrong, I do think it is silly that college athletes aren't receiving some form of compensation outside of scholarships, I just think that comparison is a stretch. Most college students go into debt after college, before getting a job. Football players shouldn't go into debt if they are on a full-ride scholarship. If they do, it shouldn't be much.

Thanks for the tip. I think he was just kidding, but if he isn't, remember he's just one of many fans, and isn't gaining respect here by the joke. Feel free to chat in the forums and join conversations, I would guess your comments will be appreciated by many on here, as long as you aren't just here to instigate drama, which you don't seem to be.

The previous coach left many gaps in recruiting, with the o line as one of the major ones. At offensive line, I think it is common that a scholly winner will take a few years to gain not only the necessary weight, but also the strength and speed to go with that weight. Some guys can do it, others can't. It's not even just linemen, how many other players that have scholarships don't see the field until they are juniors because they aren't ready yet?

I don't think his scholarship would still be there for him, unless we offered him a new one. Scholarships are presented for a specific year, and since he didn't come here, he technically turned it down. Not sure of how his career is going, but I also don't think we would want to offer him a scholarship if he decided to come back to football, unless he was heavily evaluated in regards to his ability. I can't imagine he would be as good as he once was, though, he could probably get back into football shape.

Students being recruited aren't concerned about the brand of the college. They're more concerned at winning or going to the NFL. Winning a championship is also on the top of their lists. You can tell me I'm wrong, and feel free to do so, but, they're thinking of their future's rather than a brand.

I don't think the coaches poll is worried about building hype for a program, just to watch them lose and drop. Maybe a few teams playing us would like to see it, but most of the football landscape doesn't need to build us up to lose to them.

With injuries for Oregon as of late, and losing to us, they haven't been playing well. If Oregon had been winning out, our win against them would have looked more impressive. Instead, they have folded and have been losing.

My brother went to a game there. Said the fans were terrible, even had people throw nachos and other food at him during the game. With that said, he was also near their student section, and isn't afraid to run his mouth at times.

If I'm correct, it isnt illegal if the statements are true to the new employer. If it was illegal to tell different perspective employers about the employee interviewing, why would you bother contacting the previous employer?
