Game Thread tOSU at Texas, Sat. Sept 12, 7:30 pm ET, ABC

Bucks 31-17.

Only reason a Patricia defense has given up 17+ is because we had to allow them to score last year and gave up a pick 6.

Until we for real give up 17+ Im not predicting more for a team
Fair points and persuasive. I was accounting for how many new faces we have on that side of the ball in game 2 against some real weapons, but Patricia never disappoints and maximizes his personnel. Maybe 27-17 is a better prediction.

OT Phillip Daniels (All B1G)

I don’t think it’s physical as much as it is mental with him……he got beat by straight up outside technique pass rushes where it seemed liked he was OK with end getting that far upfield?

Not saying it’s justifiable at all…..it was pretty shocking against a terrible team. I just wonder if he thought he was playing into a gameplan….otherwise he should be benched bc it was ridiculous.
Yeah I'm really worried about this tackle spot tonight if that was even close to Daniels' best effort, or if someone like Greer can't come in and get it done.

Never Again Brands

Breezeline sucks. The end.
I haven't had issues, but it isn't like Spectrum or AT&T are any better. At least Breezeline doesn't make me bundle a bunch of shit I don't need just to not break the bank for Internet. My 6 months of $30 a month for any speed is up next month so we'll see how difficult it is to roll back from 500 Mbps to 100. Back during prime covid when it was WOW they thought it would be cool to do maintenance in the middle of the day when everyone was trying to WFH. That did suck.
Breezeline is as good (or better) than any cable service that I've ever had. Besides being cheaper than the current competition; they have a few features that I really like, ex. watching 2 or 4 shows at once.

Watching 4 football games at once is cool. No other cable provider that I had offered that; however, I really need a bigger TV......:lol:

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

Another Reds' worst this season: worst shoutout loss ever.

View attachment 94430

In over 100 years of failure, ineptitude and futility this was as bad as it ever got for one game.

I'm actually impressed.

Walked 7 straight batters in a game and lost 20-0 in the same season....this has been an historic season.

Should big programs like Ohio State even bother to recruit high school QBs anymore?​

In the era of the transfer portal, many big programs are opting to go by way of the proven collegiate QB rather than developing a player out of high school. Should Ohio State follow suit?

It begs the question: Is continuing to put in the effort and resources to recruit high school quarterbacks as one of the top programs in the country even worth it anymore?

In the era of NIL, is it not potentially more cost effective to spend $3M-$5 on a proven transfer quarterback who is going to come in and dominate right away? Would you rather spend $1M-$3M on a guy who was good in high school but whose game may not transfer over, who may need to sit for a year or two before they even take the field and who could opt to transfer before that time even comes?
It’s an interesting situation to find yourself in, especially as Ohio State.

The Buckeyes have only really ever gone the transfer QB route out of necessity. They brought in Fields in 2019 because they (rightfully) did not believe in Tate Martell. They went out and got Howard in 2024 because McCord was not good enough in 2023.
The transfer QB has always been a backup plan rather than a strategy, but could/should that change?

Ohio State and Ryan Day will always be able to land top prospects at the position. The Buckeyes have a high four-star in Brady Edmunds committed in the 2027 class. They have the nation’s top QB in Christopher Vargas currently committed in the 2028 class. These are both very good players.

Bringing in guys with talent hasn’t been and won’t ever be an issue, but sometimes those highly touted recruits don’t work out. If you have the option to go out and get someone who has already proven they can be successful at the next level, is that not a better use of your time and resources?

Ohio State isn’t there just yet, but it feels like the rest of the upper echelon of college football is shifting that way. With how fast things move these days, you cannot afford to be left behind.


It’s worth it to see other schools -like that one up North- blow the bank on QBs who aren’t really worth a nickel!
