    Ohio State was literally dead last in college football in penalties called against their opponents this season. You’ll have to forgive me for not really having much sympathy.

    There was a time even I used to feel guilty about getting favorable calls, especially in college basketball as I think that home team bias is (much) worse than football. Long gone are those days. I love and cherish favorable calls and no-calls that go OSU's way. Because every school gets them. Also because...

    In 3 of the last 4 years, OSU ranked 125th or lower in opponent penalties per game.

    Since 2012, only once (2017) has OSU finished in the top half (56th) in all of college football for opponent penalties per game. Most seasons it's 80th or far lower.

    Some might respond that the B1G simply doesn't call a lot of penalties. They may call fewer than most conferences (not sure but probably so), yet there have been plenty of B1G teams who have ranked in top half, if not the top 25.

    So I DGAF if OSU wins because we're buying referees. I just wish we got more bang for our buck.

    No one cared when Bama fans brought up the lack of penalties called against us (particularly holding) during the Saban dynasty. Same as it ever was, no one gives a shit. Just enjoy the natty and laugh at everyone else.

    Sorry. We need this space where Gunners and IHHH can continue their little dance and learn how come to grips with their conflicting feelings.

    I'm not downplaying it, but I'm sure a lot of blowouts in favor of your respective teams have contributed to those stats.
