Colonoscopy 2.0 and skirts

Had mine yesterday. Went almost 40 hours with nothing but water, 7-Up zero, and the full gallon of tasty flush-you.

I was out for the procedure and came out of it after only about 35 minutes. They cut 1 small polyp so I guess it was worth doing. I did get the doc to laugh when she gave me the picture of the polyp and I said ‘I don’t get a DVD?”
What I remember most about mine was my doctor was Taiwanese and had the personality of Long Duck Dong. He was singing "It's a Small World" as the wheeled me into to the room. The sleepy juice hit and in a snap of the fingers I was looking at HD pics of inside my colon with the nurse. No polyps.

HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

Both grew on the platform built by the Lt Gov... "I can assure you that you will be proud of your young people in the classroom, in the community, and most especially in 310 days in Ann Arbor, Michigan."

Meyer destroyed those bastards and so has Day, with the exception of their cheating. I sincerely hope that he is quietly motivating his team to absolutely embarrass them with a record victory in Columbus.

DE Khary Wilder (Official Thread)

Stock up report for Ohio State after beating Ball State​

Khary Wilder​

The true freshman defensive lineman flashed early for Ohio State and looked like a player who is going to have a role on the defensive line this season. Wilder generated a couple of pressures and was even rushing from the interior on some passing downs. It was a great day for him as the Buckeyes look for someone to be the No. 2 pass rusher opposite Kenyatta Jackson. Perhaps Wilder could be that guy.

QB Luke Fahey (Official Thread)

Luke Fahey looks to have won the backup job over Tavien St. Clair​

A lot of the chatter over the last few weeks centered on a legitimate quarterback competition for the backup spot behind Sayin. The expectation was that Tavien St. Clair still held that job. He’s a former 5-star recruit and one of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 class, and he already had a full year in the program under his belt.

That’s what makes Saturday’s development so notable. It wasn’t St. Clair who entered the game as Ohio State’s No. 2 quarterback. It was freshman Luke Fahey.

Fahey has been a bright spot in Ohio State’s freshman class this past offseason, and he asserted himself as a real competitor in the quarterback room throughout fall camp. Listed at just 5-foot-11, Fahey doesn’t fit the prototypical size profile, but his play earned him the opportunity over a player with more experience and recruiting pedigree. Fahey finished 5-of-7 for 62 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and one interception on a Chris Henry Jr. drop.

Even if the backup quarterback job isn’t fully solidified at this point, Fahey clearly owns the lead in that race. For him to leapfrog St. Clair is a significant statement about where things stand in that room.

OT Phillip Daniels (All B1G)

Ryan Day all but confirmed an Ohio State football starter’s job isn’t safe after first win of the season

Ohio State’s offense has a potential change that could come about following the Ball State game. Ryan Day’s comments opened the door for a chance to happen going forward potentially.

The Ohio State Buckeyes blanked Ball State 56-3 to open the 2026 season, a game that went about how everyone expected with the Buckeyes looking like the far superior team. Ohio State is set to pay Ball State $1.9 million to play the game, so dominance was the baseline expectation. The win served as a nice warm-up for what comes next week when Ohio State travels to Austin to play the Texas Longhorns.

Coming out of the victory, there were plenty of positives, but one glaring concern stood out and could become a real problem against Texas: the right tackle position.

Phillip Daniels struggled against Ball State

Quarterback Julian Sayin was sacked a couple of times by Ball State on Saturday, and a couple of pressures came from the right side where tackle Phillip Daniels was working. Daniels, a former Minnesota transfer, started every game for the Buckeyes last year at right tackle. Ohio State returns the majority of its offensive line, and the unit is expected to be a strong suit in 2026.

The opener, however, gave a little bit of worry about whether the Buckeyes have a vulnerability on the right side.

Daniels simply didn’t play well against Ball State. For a couple of drives, Ohio State opted to move Austin Siereveld from right guard to right tackle and then inserted Gabe VanSickle at right guard. That offensive line combination produced better results than when Daniels was on the field, at least from the eye test. The viewing window was slim with VanSickle only getting a couple of drives, but it didn’t look bad. That could be the direction Ohio State has to go.

Ryan Day hints the offensive line competition is far from over

After the game, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day all but confirmed the competition along the offensive line will continue.

“I think that is the flexibility that we have [playing depth OL], and the competition continues, and they’re pushing each other,” Day stated.
Those few words tell you Ohio State is not 100% settled on what its offensive line will look like in 2026. The Buckeyes have options, and Day appears willing to use them if they need to go that route

WR Jeremiah Smith (All B1G, B1G Freshman of Year, B1G WR of Year, Unanimous All-American, 2025 Rose Bowl Off MVP, National Champion)

Ryan,
That was a good start. 8 catches for 150 some odd per half is the right play call (you know the play) mix.

You can lean on him more heavily in the bigger games.

-me

P.S. Not sure how I feel about that second half. Don’t make a habit of it.

Lane Kiffin (HC LSU)

Lane Kiffin dropped some comments after LSU’s blowout win over Clemson that Dabo Swinney is not going to recover from​

LSU was obviously confident going into the game, but even they may have been surprised at just how much of a beatdown it was against Clemson.

Kiffin, in fact, said after the game that he was surprised at how dysfunctional Clemson was on offense.

He also said the scout team scored more against LSU’s defense in practice this past week than Clemson did.

“I thought it’d be like 35-7 or 35-10,” said Kiffin on the field after the game (via David Hale). “I didn’t know they’d be that dysfunctional on offense.”

Kiffin also made the comment about LSU’s scout team outscoring Clemson to ESPN’s Laura Rutledge.
