Looks Like Hoosier Hype After Buckeye Blowout 38-15

November 23, 2024

Week thirteen of the NCAA college football season is almost in the books, and this Big Ten Conference matchup between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Indiana Hoosiers, two nationally ranked teams, has been on our radar all week.

The undefeated Hoosiers traveled to Columbus today to take on the 9-1 Buckeyes, and as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. It was, without a doubt, a reality check for Indiana today. Ohio State needed this win after their October 12th loss to new conference bully, Oregon.

After Indiana’s defense forced Ohio State to punt on their first possession, the Hoosier offense took the field and put a fabulous drive together. They drove downfield, and Indiana running back, Ty Son Lawton, punched it in from the two-yard-line to give Indiana a 7-0 lead.

Ohio State was on the ropes early, and they didn’t score their first points until 7:21 in the second quarter. After that, it was all Ohio State.

Indiana set up for a punt with 1:41 left to play in the second quarter, and the snap bounced right off the punter’s hands. A short field with time winding down before the half was exactly the break the Buckeyes needed, and running back, TreVeyon Henderson, ran it in for Ohio State’s second touchdown.

Ohio State finally had some breathing room, and they were finally in the lead, but it was only by seven. It was still anyone’s game at that point.

Could Indiana shake off the mistake, and regroup during halftime, or would that punt muff be the defining moment of this game?

That was the question.

Well, Indiana’s first drive of the third quarter stalled, and they were forced to punt.

Ohio State returned the punt for a touchdown. It was now 21-7, and the Buckeyes clearly held on to that momentum gained at the end of the second quarter.

As a matter of fact, Ohio State scored twenty-four second half points, and the final score was 38-15. This was Indian’s first loss of the season, and both teams are now 10-1 overall.

The Buckeye defense held Indiana to just 151 total offensive yards. 83 of those were on the ground, and 68 were through the air.

Ohio State quarterback, Will Howard, completed 22 of 26 passes for 201 yards and 2 touchdowns. Wide receiver, Emeka Egbuka, had 9 catches for 68 yards and 1 touchdown, and running back, TreVeyon Henderson, registered 68 yards on 9 carries. Henderson averaged 7.6 yards per touch and he finished the day with 1 touchdown.

Next week, it’s Ohio State and Michigan!

NCAA College Football; Showdown Setting Up for the 30th

November 22, 2024

Good evening!

We’re in week thirteen of the NCAA College Football season, and there are several games that I have my eye on, however, I’m looking ahead to the weekend of the 30th for the game between Syracuse and Miami.

Tomorrow, it’s (5)Indiana and (2)Ohio State, (14)BYU and (21)Arizona State, and (18)Army against (6)Note Dame.

In addition to those, the eleventh ranked Miami Hurricanes host the 4-6 Wake Forest Demon Deacons, and that’s a game Miami should win. Miami’s overall record will improve to 10-1 with a win tomorrow over Wake Forest.

Then, we have the game between UCONN and Syracuse. Both teams are 7-3. I watched the Huskies play the 2-6 Georgia State Panthers on November 1st, and I watched their game against UAB on the 9th. Like Georgia State, UAB has only two wins. Both teams are struggling this season, and UCONN struggled in both of those games.

UCONN’s game against Georgia State came down to an onside kick with 1:47 left to play. The Huskies were winning 34-27. I really don’t know how the Panthers didn’t recover the onside kick. The ball went ten yards and they had a man right there!

Anyway, the point is that in the month of November, UCONN has been lucky, but I think their luck will come to an end this weekend when they play Syracuse.

Yes, both teams are 7-3, but Syracuse is just on a different level. With a win this week, Syracuse could improve to 8-3 overall, and that will set the stage for their ACC matchup against the 10-1 Hurricanes. That game will feature two of the best quarterbacks in college football, Cameron Ward and Kyle McCord.

If Syracuse’s defense shows up and LeQuint Allen can run the ball, they have a chance. Ahead of Syracuse in the ACC is Georgia Tech, Miami, Clemson, and SMU. SMU is undefeated in the conference, 6-0, but Clemson and Miami have one loss, and Georgia Tech is pretty much tied with Syracuse.

I don’t think Syracuse has a shot at the playoffs, but a win against Miami will definitely shake things up in the ACC.

Super Bowl Sunday, It’s Only the Beginning

This evening, at 6:30 PM, Super Bowl LVIII (58) will be played between the 49ers of San Francisco and the Chiefs of Kansas City. 2024, as a year, is still fairly new as we’re only going into the seventh week.

So, as 2024 is beginning, the Super Bowl, which is the NFL’s last game to be played of the 2023 season, represents the end of the professional football season. Endings and new beginnings, that’s the theme.

Interestingly enough, two nights ago, we had a new moon, which represents the beginning of a brand-new Moon cycle, and tonight, the Moon will be illuminated at 5% in the astrological sign of Pisces.

Tonight’s Super Bowl, the last game of the NFL season, will be played while the Moon is in Pisces, the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac. 

Tomorrow evening, Monday night, it will be the third night of the New Moon cycle, and the Moon will be a waxing crescent still in the first phase. Also, the Moon will also be in the first sign of the zodiac, Aries, and so there, a new cycle is beginning. 

If every ending is really a new beginning, then what does the NFL leave us with as we’re beginning a new year, and a New Moon cycle? 

Well, as a man who loved and played the game of football, I held football in a sacred space, reserving it for those who sacrificed for it, those who actually played it, and those who truly understood what the sport of football was all about.

Today, I watch more college football than NFL because the NFL is fucking disgusting. I’m not going to hold back, and I’m not going to hide the truth from you. Those who run the NFL obviously sold out for money, and the game we see today is saturated with propaganda and politics while it offers the biggest stage for every scumbag in the world to advance their private personal agenda if they have the money to do so.

It seems like our government uses “National Security” as their go-to-ace-in-the hole. As long as they say something is a threat to National Security, they can violate and infringe upon every right we have.

But they NFL, last season promoted two national anthems. I can’t think of a bigger threat to National Security than a group of people within our country establishing their very own national anthem. That means they don’t recognize the same America as the rest of the people in this country. 

Wasn’t the Civil War fought to unify North and North? Wasn’t the Civil War fought to unify this country? Yes, it was. 

And, what about this picture I just pulled off Twitter?

This is terrible. So many people have been asking, “what happened between the relationship between men and women?”

American men are upset. Why are our women competing with us? Men and women, when in a relationship, are supposed to be supporting one another, loving one another, and helping each other.

In case you missed it, the mainstream agenda popularizes and makes the emasculating of men cool. The main stream agenda pushes for the empowerment of women, which in and of itself is okay, but it’s not okay when you need to bring the men around you down to do it. 

This is why the divorce rates are high, and this is why men and women are fighting more. It’s Man, Woman, and children, that’s the family. The destruction of the family- that’s the long term goal of this mainstream agenda, and as long as the mainstream continues to popularize the advancement and empowerment of women at the expense of men, the family continues to suffer.

What does the NFL leave us with?

Nothing but toxicity, negativity, and garbage, and don’t be upset, ashamed, or feel left out if you decide not to watch it.

Nooz Now

December 12, 2023 Edition

The 2024 NFL Draft is scheduled for the 25th through the 27th of April, but a look ahead has definitely revealed some excitement for Pittsburgh Steeler fans.

If, and I say if, he’s still available when it’s time for the Steelers to make their first selection, it’s likely they’ll use their 14th pick to acquire WR, Rome Odunze.

I’ve given Rome Odunze the nickname, “Oh Dooms Day,” because he has been a nightmare for opposing defenses this season. Odunze is a star wide receiver for the Washington Huskies. At 6’3″, and 215 pounds, Odunze is big, fast, and physical. After thirteen games, in which Washington finished with a perfect 13-0 record, he caught 81 balls for 1,428 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Washington, currently, is 13-0 and ranked 2nd in the AP Top 25. They had standouts in several positions this season, and one of those was the man responsible for getting Odunze the ball. Quarterback, Michael Penis Jr., was a Heisman Trophy finalist, and obviously one of the best quarterbacks in the country. The Heisman was ultimately awarded to LSU QB, Jayden Daniels on December 9th, but Penix was nothing short of brilliant this season.

He threw for over 4,200 yards and 33 touchdowns. Not bad at all.

This college football season was exciting and fun to watch, and it’s going to be interesting to see where some of this top talent goes in April.

Kyle McCord, The White Jesus Story

Yesterday was a big day in college football in general, but for the Ohio State Buckeyes, it was a special day. I don’t think I need to sit here and sell anyone who’s truly into college football the magnitude of the game between the Buckeyes and the Wolverines of Michigan.

The game between Michigan and Ohio State has been considered a rivalry game since the days of Woody Hayes and Archie Griffin and probably before. For the head coaches of both teams, wins and loses against one another has definitely become a statistic. At the end of Ryan Day’s career, people will want to know two things, what was your record and what was your record versus Michigan? That’s how important this game is.

So, yesterday it was the 11-0 Ohio State Buckeyes against the 11-0 Michigan Wolverines, and Michigan did end up winning this year. I’ve been a Buckeye fan since 1995, but I must admit the truth. It was a big win for Michigan. The Wolverines deserve all the credit and all the respect that’s coming their way. They played well. Both teams played well.

Before I get into Kyle McCord, I want to say that football is team sport. You win as a team, and you take your loses as a team. Coaches who truly care about the game of football know how to shelter their teams from outside distractions, and believe me, some coaches are under a lot of pressure. There’s a purity about football, and for me as a player in high school and in college, football was a world within a world. It was a safe zone, and once I was inside, nothing else mattered. That must always be protected because there’s a cancer constantly lurking outside the world of football.

At the beginning of this season, Kyle McCord was in the outhouse. I’m not even going to say doghouse, I’m going to say outhouse because that’s how much and how bad he was being talked about. People hated, and I mean hated the fact that Kyle McCord was now the face of the Buckeyes. They hated that Kyle McCord was now the answer for Justin Fields and CJ Stroud. The hatred for McCord was so bad, people were starting to say racism. Anyone with a head on their shoulders knows that wasn’t the case.

The season began, and Ohio State Coach, Ryan Day started McCord. The Buckeyes began their season 3-0, and people still talked poorly about McCord. Then, the Notre Dame game came up. Kyle McCord was brilliant in the fourth quarter of that game, and we all know about the drive he put together at the end of the game to lead his team to victory. Not only did he lead the Buckeyes to victory, but he did it on the road in South Bend against a Fighting Irish team that was ranked in the AP Top 10.

That win and that performance silenced a lot of people, and those people remained silent as Ohio State continued to roll-on to eleven wins, however, another story unfolded during the Notre Dame game.

It was the Marvin Harrison Jr. story. If you watched the Notre Dame game then you know how close that game was. You know that it was a chess match, you know there was absolutely no room for errors, penalties, or turnovers, and you know that Notre Dame did a hell of a job covering Marvin Harrison.

At halftime, Ohio State was winning 3-0, and Harrison was shut out. Late in the second quarter and into the third, the pressure dial was starting to get turned up slowly. The pressure was on the Buckeyes, coach Ryan Day and his staff, and Kyle McCord not to win the game, but to get Harrison the ball.

The pressure dial was turned up even more as the game went into the third quarter, and this is when I finally saw the situation for what it truly was. In a “Prime Time” game against a ranked opponent, individual statistics, when it comes to certain people, are more important than a team win.

As luck would have it, the pressure dial got turned off because Harrison sprained his ankle in the third quarter. The Buckeyes went on to win the game, and Kyle McCord played the quarter of his life. Remember how everyone in the media was starting to go after Ryan Day for the comments he made about Lou Holtz in his post-game interview? Lou Holtz was the sacrifice, the real reason the heat was being turned up on Day was because Harrison finished the Big Game with 3 catches for 32 yards and zero touchdowns.

Now, after Ohio State’s loss to Michigan yesterday, the group that has been silenced since the Notre Dame game, was given new life. They put the entire loss on Kyle McCord, and someone hiding behind a Twitter account called something like Mr. Ohio said, number 6 should be shown the door because he’s not Ohio State material.

Well, what about Marvin Harrison Jr.? At the end of the game when McCord threw that interception, it shows clear as day on instant replay, Harrison pulling up and basically quitting the route. If he ran to the ball maybe he would’ve caught it/ maybe he wouldn’t have it, but at the very least, he could’ve prevented the interception and gave his team another shot.

And then it all made sense. Kyle McCord, in the eyes of this group, would never be a Justin Fields or a CJ Stroud. So, if Day was going to keep him and start him, he would be the sacrifice for Marvin Harrison Jr. Like Lou Holtz, Kyle McCord was the sacrifice. He was the White Jesus, and this season was really about Marvin Harrison Jr., his stats, and his position in the NFL Draft-not the Buckeyes.

They just wanted McCord to throw to Harrison, and if Harrison caught the ball, it was because he was great, but if he didn’t, then it was because McCord sucked. It was a lose lose and a catch 22 for McCord. They would rather him squeeze a ball in and risk interception throwing to Harrison than to dump it off to a back.

I don’t hide behind a social media account that gets millions of views, I’m Francis Joseph LaManna from Nooz Buffet, and I tell it like it is. Truth.

The link above is to a video I posted on Twitter. The same thing that’s going on in Ohio with Harrison, is the same thing that’s going on in Colorado.

I give Ryan Day a lot of credit for not giving in to this pressure, and I give him even more credit for going toe to toe with this cancer. Against Notre Dame, he stuck to his game plan. He didn’t deviate just to get Harrison the ball.

The good thing about the cancer is that it doesn’t last forever. It ends up in the NFL. What’s really important is that schools like Ohio State stay strong and maintain their traditions.
