Trying to decide what intrigues me the most going into tomorrow.
How the third receiver role shapes up before the trip to Austin?
O-line absolutely dominating against a team they should?
How Arthur Smith's offense translates to Ohio State? His gigs in the pros were pretty brutal, I'll trust the hire but something to watch.

So happy we're back, it's going to be an incredible season!

Agreed on Arthur Smith. We'll soon find out if he can get things clicking at the college level.

Awful Ohio State vs. Indiana noon start will end up being a blessing in disguise

While fanbases on both sides are livid over Big Noon Kickoff on the way, this could actually be. good news for Ryan Day and Ohio State.

Awful Ohio State vs. Indiana noon start will end up being a blessing in disguise​

The one time we might actually be happy with a Big Noon Kickoff.

This is going to be a showdown that Ohio State and Ryan Day will have serious revenge on their minds for. You're not alone if you've circled Oct. 17 on your schedule, as the Buckeyes will travel to Indiana for a rematch of the Big Ten title game last December. We now know that contest will get started at 12 p.m., with Big Noon Kickoff on the way.

What?! Chairs have been thrown in anger, while both fanbases are annoyed beyond belief that this epic contest is going to have an early start. We get it. At the same time, could this end up being a blessing in disguise for Day and his players? Here's why this 12 p.m. kickoff is actually beneficial.

Ohio State vs. Indiana getting the Big Noon Kickoff treatment has fans on both sides annoyed​

Sure, on one hand you can make the case these two of the top teams in the country should never go to war in the opening window. However, nothing can be done if FOX prioritized making sure they had the rights for this one. On top of that, it truly could end up being a good thing for the Buckeyes.

Think about it: there's a reason so many Ohio State fans hate when this is the case for a home game, blasting it for being awful left and right. People aren't able to tailgate for as long as they want, and their day has to get started much earlier. If this was a night game or something, Hoosiers fans would be FIRED UP in the stands, after a full day of eating and drinking with their friends.

Do we really expect the same kind of energy for a noon start? Definitely not. There's no question that Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith, and others are going to benefit from the atmosphere in Bloomington not being the same as a night game showdown. Yes, it's still going to be a tough environment, no one is arguing with that.

Unruly passenger arrested after being restrained with duct tape during flight​

A man was arrested for alleged unruly behavior on an American Airlines flight causing it to divert to Baltimore on Thursday night, according to the airline and investigators.

Arthur Lundeen, 67, of Arizona, was restrained to his seat with duct tape and his hands were restrained with zip ties, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority Police, which arrested him after the plane landed.

The incident took place on American Airlines flight AA 618, which took off from Dallas and was en route to Newark, according to the FBI and the airline.

Week 1 Game Discussion Thread

Stanford is actually decent, with too many mistakes. But Miami looks good. Toney hype is starting.

They don't have Beck holding them back any more. The death of contracts and rules saw to that this off-season.

Toney is a monster (and might have come north if chosen over Innis). That said, it's unlucky that his rep game changing cfp fumbles forced by Downs led to 10 points for his own team somehow. Should have been enough to swing the game back, particularly given that it likely becomes more than just a 10 pt swing

Rutgers Scarlet Knights (official troll of PedSU)

sammyjenkis
I checked the reddit post game thread after hearing about the upset, and I was intrigued about the level of optimism from the few forsaken UMass fans out there. So I watched the Fox 22 minute extended highlights on utube, and that team looked good. The UMass offense had no business looking that innovative and crisp in week one. Just saw their second year HC was previously the DC at Rutgers, and the UMass defense did their part in the ass kicking. Sucks for Schiano, but sportsball is back and it's spectacular.

2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

JohnnyCockfight
Does anyone who follows recruiting know if Ohio State has looked at Roman Combs out of Lakota West? He's a huge DB/Ath who I saw get 2 interceptions against St. X in week 1 and either an int or fumble return for a 48 yard touchdown against Lakota East in week 2. Not sure what he did tonight, but they got another win.

He was the difference in Lakota West defeating Princeton in last year's basketball matchup, despite all the more hyped-up blue chip prospects in that game. I think he was suspended for the basketball playoffs due to something with his transfer (maybe from the Louisville area?), and who knows if Princeton wins the state title if Combs is back on the court for Lakota West in the playoffs.

I know he is currently committed to Purdue for football (over offers from Indiana, Penn State, Iowa, Illinois), but man, with those ball skills at 6'4" and about 200 lbs, he is a nice looking prospect, and a winner. Just wondering if those who actually follow recruiting have heard anything.

When the Minnesota Vikings relieved Kwesi Adofo-Mensah of his role of general manager at the conclusion of the 2025 NFL season, the question of what would be next for the analytical mind had to be asked.

It didn't take long for Adofo-Mensah to land on his feet. Shortly after his exit from Minnesota, the San Francisco 49ers scooped him back up on February 24 and put him back into an important role, making him a personnel executive.
