SF/PF Devin Royal (Official Thread)

Royal is one of those guys who can be either boom or bust, and sometimes he switches between the two extremes within the same game. I think a lot of his game is based on getting to his spots and being able to take the same shots he's practiced. Teams that play really physical defense on him tend to throw him off his game. If the opponent isn't good defensively, he can practically score at will.

'26 OH SF Anthony Thompson is a Buckeye!!!

For returning players, my priority would be Bynum, then Mobley, then Royal.
They need to decide if the injured big from Baylor can be their 5. And, for sure, they need to bring in a PG from the portal.
I suppose if Bynum takes a jump, he could supplant Royal at the 4, and Bynum can play some at the 5, but to me neither is ideal at any other position. I would hope that we're not planning on Bynum-Ojianwuna as the post combo, as it would not solve the problem area of defensive rebounding.

X ... Twitter

Exactly. As long as Encyclopedia Brittanica was censoring anything they didn't like no matter what the facts were and promoting made up "established science" that had no basis in research or proven facts.
Fun fact. When I was a wild and crazy guy in my early 20's I bought a set of Encyclopedias from an ambition young lady at the mall on the condition that she'd spend the night with me. She did.

Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

From the Columbus Dispatch. Article is paywalled...


"The Nittany Lions’ wrestling program receives $1.5 million in athletic department revenue sharing money, which it uses to build its name, image and likeness portfolio to attract high school recruits and portal transfers while helping stop current wrestlers from leaving.

Ohio State wrestling receives no revenue sharing money. Football, men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball are the only OSU sports to share the $18 million, the bulk of which goes to football."
That’s really disappointing….the program is too good not to be getting a cut of $$$

Makes sense why PSU didnt take part in the dual to start season….they don’t need the $$$

OSU won, and was able to split a $250k pot.

B1G (Official Thread)

My junior year, 1964, Marathon Oil and WBNS gave out/sold a set of Big Ten glasses in each schools' colors and with each schools' seal. I was living with three other guys in a four bedroom house on Norwich and so I bought the set, The set traveled with me to another apartment, Ft. Lewis, Ft. Eustis, a first marriage, a divorce, a couple of wild, free years, a second marriage, and a move to California. The last of the set, Illinois, broke in a move back from Bezerkely in 1979.

"This is WBNS, in the heart of Big Ten Territory," became part of every announcement made on Channel 10. That connection to the conference has remained with me and is part of the reason I dislike the expansion into eastern and western universities.
I still see those glasses for sale at the antique stores from time to time.

If you could change the outcome of one Ohio State football game, which would you choose?

If I were to pick one, and only if the butter fly effect of not having Cooper fired 3 seasons later, then its 1998 against Sparty for me.

1996 TCUN is a close second.
1996 was brutal. I only take 1995 over it because I don’t think 1996 would have happened without the 1995 loss.

The Jerome Schottenstein Center (Official Thread)

Been to the Schott several times during the past several years. Both men's and women's basketball. I do have a bit of trouble with spending $5.2 million on a scoreboard, that to me, does all that it's supposed to do. OK, maybe it's not the shiniest apple in the B10 stable, but hey? Who gives a rip. Doubt seriously whether any recruit has stood on the floor, looks up, and say Not going here, the scoreboard is a mess.....maybe I'm wrong. PS, cannot some of these computer whiz bangs do some reprogramming to have it show whatever one believes is missing? I demand an audit of all Athletic Department budgets/funds/cash and contracts!
5.2 million in nil for basketball players might just make a difference though huh?
