You would probably surprised by how many people in Ohio are LSU fans. I'm not the only OSU fan who will be rooting for LSU if they play each other. Joe is Ohio football. Mr. Football in Ohio. All sorts of Ohio records. I live in the mountains of CA and people out here are rooting for Joe and LSU. He's just that kind of guy.
Here's what some people don't understand. High School football in Ohio is a big deal. Fans of Ohio football love Joe. Fans of Ohio State Football might not love him. So some Buckeyes don't care about him and would love to see him get banged around if OSU plays LSU. But true fans of Ohio Football love and support Joe.
Yes! Watching every LSU game I can and cheering for the Tigers. I wouldn't even be that disappointed if LSU beats OSU in the playoffs. Joe's an Ohio kid who deserved the starting position at OSU since his sophomore year, but Meyer was too loyal to JT. Love to see the way you guys have welcomed him.
Nah they're just discussing the sex they're going to have with each other after the game.
I'm with Buckeye on this. Many of us followed Burrow closely in high school and at OSU. We know how Meyer works. We know how he kept Barrett around for a million years while we had two qbs riding the bench that were both light years better. This isn't as much about Burrow being a quitter or being less of a QB than Haskins is it is about Meyer playing favorites. I too would take Burrow in a heartbeat over Haskins. Burrow throws a great ball, is a better runner, better decision maker, and better leader in the huddle. He can do things that Haskins can't do on the field. Haskins can make some amazing throws, but he's not fearless like Burrow. He's not the decision maker that Burrow is.
Joe was Mr. Football in Ohio. He's better than Barrett and should have started in front of him but Meyer had some creepy weird loyalty thing going on with Barrett so he allowed Barrett to stay at OSU for twenty years. Burrow is a good Ohio kid that we want to succeed because we feel he sort of got shafted. Frankly, if LSU were to play OSU, then many of us would be pulling for LSU. I know I would.
You're dead on. Of course his numbers are going to be down a little bit. He's played against two of the best defenses in the nation. His numbers will continue to come up. They could drop a bit against alabama. Going to be a great season.
If you look at Miami's defensive stats from last year, then Joe was a little below average in most areas. Most qb's threw a little better. Not a whole lot, but slightly better completion rate and more yards. But, and this huge with Joe, he was above average in interceptions. Miami averaged more than 1 interception per game in 2017. Joe didn't give them that. He made good decisions and had a good game and led his team to victory. Probably didn't put up Heisman numbers against them...lol. I still think he's going to be a great qb. And I think his stats will be above average when he leaves.

Yes, it will help. All true OSU fans added a new team and became LSU fans this fall. More people will watch Sunday's game in Columbus than in Miami. I bet Columbus will be the second best market when ratings come out next week.

Add me to the list. Joe should have played at OSU last year. He's got the skills. I wish he had a cupcake at home to start with, but he'll be ready for Miami. Excited to be an LSU fan. If it comes down to OSU vs LSU in playoffs this year, then I'm pulling for LSU for sure.
I think O is trying to force Miami to think about two quarterbacks- not that there's a whole lot of film from either of them, though. The longer he waits the less time Richt has to really dial into it. I'm obviously hoping it's Burrow, but I think O is trying his hand at some sort of gamesmanship. Also maybe locker room management?

New guy here. Lifetime OSU fan. Been following Burrow since high school, as well. I think he's going to pleasantly surprise most of the LSU fans this year. Most people who watched him over the past 7-8 years knew he was a better qb than OSU's starter last year. As you're seeing form all the OSU crap, Meyer has an issue of being blinded by loyalty. Burrow should be starting at OSU this year but he's not, so I'll be buying some LSU gear and watching every LSU game and chuckling when he makes Meyer look a fool.
If you watch his high school film- I know I know it's high school- you'll see he already had a good, accurate arm. If you look at stats you'll see he threw for 11k yards in high school with a completion rate of about 70%. Almost 1k attempts with only 17 interceptions. That just tells me the guy knows where to the throw the ball. He might not be the next Tom Brady, but I think he's going to do pretty well for the Tigers.
Anyway, let's just hang in there and see how he does against Miami. I think it's going to be a fun year to watch the Tigers. I would love so much for the championship game to Tigers vs Bucks and watch Burrow torch Meyer for about 450 yards.
