Deaths Of Notable Sports Figures (R.I.P.)

ScriptOhio

NASCAR Hall of Fame driver, announcer Ned Jarrett dies at 93​

i


NASCAR Hall of Famer Ned Jarrett, a two-time Cup champion and longtime broadcaster, died peacefully Thursday of natural causes at his home in Newton, North Carolina, his family announced. He was 93.

Jarrett won 50 races during his career and was the champion of NASCAR's top series in 1961 and 1965, when he won 13 races and finished in the top five in 42 of 54 races despite breaking his back in a June wreck at Greenville-Pickens (SC) Speedway.
.
.
He returned to the sport as a radio broadcaster with MRN in 1978, and he later moved to the television booth with CBS and ESPN. One of his signature moments came at the 1993 Daytona 500, when he called the finish to the race and openly rooted as his son, Dale Jarrett, took the checkered flag ahead of Dale Earnhardt.
.
.
The Jarretts were the second father-son combination to win championships at NASCAR's highest level, and both are members of the Hall of Fame.

2026 World Cup (Official Thread)

Iran players receive U.S. visas for 2026 World Cup​


Just sayin': A match between USA and Iran would be interesting. It will probably never happen; however, according to Google AI it is possible.

The implied odds of Iran playing USA in a 2026 World Cup match sit a roughly +669, as calculated by matching predictive tools, because they are drawn into entirely different groups. To make this match happen, both nations must advance from their respective opening stages and align on a fixed knockout bracket.

Group Stage Landscapes
Because the teams are separate, a group-stage meeting is impossible. Their respective chances to win their groups or advance are:
  • The United States (Group D): Drawn with Austria, Paraguay, and Türkiye. The USA is a +125 favorite to win Group D and holds a 78% chance of advancing to the knockout stage.
  • Iran (Group G): Drawn with Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand. Iran is a +650 underdog to win Group G (a 13% implied chance), but holds a strong 74% overall chance to advance to the next round.
Knockout Scenarios
A potential matchup relies on two primary pathways in the bracket:
  • Scenario 1: Round of 32 (Most Realistic): For the quickest meeting, both the USA and Iran must finish as the runners-up in their respective groups. If this alignment occurs, they will face off directly in a knockout elimination match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
  • Scenario 2: Round of 16: If both teams win their groups and successfully win their subsequent Round of 32 matches, they will advance to meet one another in the Round of 16

TBH, I've really reduced my interest / following recruiting since NIL. Given that we're at page 2 in this thread and it's June, was is offer an OFFER or an offer?
Click to expand...
All valid points. And he actually had an OFFER. But I doubt OSU was going to try and match IU if they believe they have a real chance with Fahkatou and Currie. And Imo Perez was behind Brayden Parks from IL, who was a legit college ready 3tech size. Where Perez will need a RS shirt year to gain and keep on size.

No shade, Perez would’ve been a very good pickup, and he is that for IU. But Fakatou and Currie would an ELITE DL class, and could have 2guys that are game changing type IDL(but Fakatou can be moved all over the DL). IMO, Perez was a poor man’s Fakatou(and that’s not an insult there's just levels to athleticism for guys that big playing DL)

Skull Session: Ohio State Fans Feel Confident in the Buckeyes Entering Challenging 2026 Slate, Eric Weddle Backs Up His Criticisms of Michigan QB Bryce Underwood

Ohio State fans feel optimistic about the Buckeyes entering a challenging 2026 season, and Eric Weddle backs up his comments about Michigan QB Bryce Underwood.
www.elevenwarriors.com www.elevenwarriors.com
HOW YA FEELIN’? Each offseason, I looked forward to The Athletic’s Ohio State fan survey. It puts a hand on the pulse of Buckeye Nation, which sometimes — but not always — differs from that of the Eleven Warriors audience.

This year, The Athletic’s Cameron Teague Robinson tackled “the state of the program, the Michigan rivalry, the 2025 season, potential College Football Playoff expansion and more.” I’ll pass along some of his survey results in this section. Let me know how you would answer them in the comments below.

With 51 new players on the roster, which newcomer are you most excited to see?​

  • Chris Henry Jr. 68.4%
  • Terry Moore 3%
  • Earl Little Jr. 13.4%
  • Christian Alliegro 4.2%
  • Ja’Kobi Jackson 5.5%
  • Others: 5.5%
Just sayin': I would have probably picked Christain Alliegro.
