2026 World Cup (Official Thread)

And your approach is the best, pick your spot and rip it. None of this stutter step idiocy...
The fact they allow it is stupid to begin with, to be honest. Then you add in how many times the moron outpsyches himself and misses the goal by a mile or hits it right at the keeper for the easiest save they've had since the U13s, and it is just a recipe for disaster. The people who are truly good at it don't care where the keeper is...they hit a penalty good enough to beat them anyway 90% of the time.

The Ohio State Baseball (Official Thread)

The good news is the "higher end" JUCO guys slide right in for Simpson and Eckelman.

Plenty of options at catcher. The JUCO guy, will be Sophomore Austin Rose who's tearing it up in summer wood bat ball, and incoming freshman Jeffrey Claycomb from Texas who was a top 15 catcher recruit nationally.

Hopefully no more last-minute ship jumps before the entry window closes at midnight tonight.

Ohio State has apparently been in recent contact with Louisville WR commit Ja’Hyde Brown who was recently named MVP of the entire Opening Finals.

Rivals MVP: WR Ja’Hyde Brown – Louisville commit
“From the very first snap today for Team Midwest, Brown continued his hot streak from yesterday. He caught the team’s first touchdown of the day and continued that all the way up to the semifinal game where he scored early and led the team in targets. Brown’s did it all this week. He stretched the field vertically, won at the intermediate levels and turned underneath catches into explosive plays. It just felt like Brown was the hottest receiver out on the field in every game he played.” – Cody Bellaire

Scouting report from 247:

Dynamic offensive weapon that has proven to be a chunk-play machine as he creates after the catch with his vision, burst and agility.
-Junior season saw him put up video game-like numbers as he led the state of Kentucky in receptions (98), receiving yards (1,556) and receiving touchdowns (24).
-Dangerous in the quick passing game as he can turn swing and screen passes into long gains with sudden movements.
-Positioned primarily on the inside, but has showcased the ability to win on the outside with his coordination and concentration.

2027 CA DL Marcus Fakatou is a Buckeye!!!

Not to hijack, but my impression of LJSr is has always taken the approach of "If you play for me I will treat you as though you were my own son." This resonates for some prospects more than others.

Back on topic - Jacked to have Marcus on board!

I'd use the old homily that the size of the pie is set, only variable is the size of the pieces. However, it appears that the size of the pie has grown somewhat. How much, we won't know until the recruiting dust settles. If at all.....not so certain any university wants to make known how much they have paid for the new recruiting beef. But if the NIL dollars are from outside the university normal funding, then who's to say. At least it's all above board, and the 'under the table' monies are now exposed.
These conversations, we can gladly continue in the 2027 recruiting thread

Headlines You Don't See Every Day (outside of Florida)


Philadelphia ‘Poopgate’ scandal intensifies as Noah Kahan makes fans ‘solemnly swear’ not to soil themselves at his concerts​

"One of the most unreal concert experiences I’ve ever witnessed.”

Singer/songwriter Noah Kahan has had to issue an impassioned plea to his fans that if they feel the call of nature during one of his shows, they absolutely must head to the bathroom and do it there.

The unusual request comes in the wake of what’s been dubbed “Poopgate”. This refers to a disgusting situation at Kahan’s Philadelphia show, where The Independent reports that a fan near the front of the crowd allegedly defecated on the floor, then attempted to brush the evidence under a chair.

As reported by News.com.au, a horrified witness said:
“I guess they didn’t want to miss a couple of songs to use the bathroom so they just straight up s..t themselves. She started trying to waffle stomp the turds and acted like nothing happened but we flagged down security. One of the most unreal concert experiences I’ve ever witnessed.”

“You guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000-yard stare”​

Now Kahan has stepped in to urge his fans to maintain basic standards of decorum at his shows. On X he said:

“If you have to poop at a show, please dear god just go to the bathroom lmao I’ve pooped my pants as much as the next 29-year-old but you guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000-yard stare after dealing with that.”

Now, in front of hundreds of fans, he’s taken to the stage to make his fans take an oath that they will follow societal expectations of bathroom use. He made the crowd repeat after him:

“I solemnly swear I will not s–t my pants and if I do, I won’t take it from my pants and put it on the floor”
This appears to be a growing problem in concerts. After all, if you’ve paid a large amount of money for a ticket, why would you want to waste a single second queuing for a bathroom. The consequences were recently outlined by Olivia Rodrigo, who told KISS Radio (via Consequence): “I have been to certain concerts and certain festivals where people wear diapers so that they can be front row of the show, and that’s been an experience as a performer that I have… smelled.”

The fan that kicked off this stinky controversy has remained anonymous and has not commented.

The follow up to the recent Manziel interview where he states that he roots for the Browns to go 0-16 every year. I always thought he would be a bust when they drafted him.

UCLA research suggests playing pro football can increase risk of developing ALS


The study looked at close to 20,000 professional football players who had participated in at least one game between 1960 and 2019. The data showed that professional football players were four times more likely than the general population to develop and die from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a neurodegenerative disease.

Because the study covers 59 years, the researchers were also able to make an important connection between the length of a player’s football career and their risk of developing ALS. Specifically, the longer someone played football, the greater their likelihood of developing ALS became. Those players who developed ALS played more than 50% longer than those who did not.

I’m a little worried about that scum up north for Weddle. Gut feeling, dad played for Whittingham, and he could easily play as a freshman there due to their room likely being weaker than ours and UGA

Michigan wasn’t named as a factor per Adam Gorney. Ohio State and Georgia battle with Oklahoma behind them. Utah, UCLA, Cal and Oregon were named as other schools of interest.
