It's like we're trying our best to further announce we don't care about basketball in Columbus smh. I think back to when I was at Ohio State when there was so much (deserved) excitement with Matta and players like Sully, Craft, Thomas, etc...the student section and fans were doing much better in terms of attendance and most, but it seems like that was short lived. Can't really blame anyone at this point though, there's a chance I might just go to the RPAC instead to lift and chase some Lulu Lemon wearing college girls (assuming we turn back the time).

But aside from that, glad to get a win at home. Who knows, maybe we can fart our way into the Tourney somehow. Even if it's a one and done, I see another NIT appearance being a near death sentence for Diebler's career here. Maybe this win gets us there if we can pull off an upset or two in the conference tourney.

Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

2 things have changed recently with this team that have ignited their confidence and overall play.
1. Obviously the Harder trade had been an Offensive spark and the whole roster had been affected.
2. The most significant in my opinion is that the play of the guys off the bench, Bryant and Tomlin, has lit a phenomenal fire in Jarrett Allen. Dude is playing angry and nowhere near the soft stuff we've seen from him in playoffs. If that continues there is a real Finals chance for this team.
Staying healthy has always been this teams issue but the bench just may finally be good enough to make it work.

It doesn’t hurt their entire strategy going into season was to treat the regular season at a different “level” so they’re fresher going into playoffs.

THAT is the biggest difference. It was an organizational decision to NOT prioritize winning the East. They decided being “healthy and fresh” was more important.

NFL Discussion (Official Thread)

California’s “jock taxes” force pro athletes who don’t live in the state to fork over percentages of their yearly income based on the number of days they work in California.

Sam Darnold received $178k for winning the Super Bowl.
He owes California $249k for just the Super Bowl (they factor is his per game salary based on his annual contract)

He also owes a whole bunch more because he played 49ers and Rams in CA as well

Which was $5.3M this year. And he got $32M for signing with the Seahawks. I simply can't muster any tears for him for some reason.

The check for winning the game helped him pay the tax. I don't see what the problem is.

Couple years back, ran into a guy who sported his Miami shirt. Had to talk to him, as I matriculated there oh so many years ago. Got to talking and he mentioned (proudly might say) that Miami U is the best hockey team in the state. Recruits go to Oxford-town rather than C'bus for the sport. Was an eye-opener for me. Saw games at Withrow Court, and then a couple at Millett (waaaay across town). Back then had 50 cent taxis, which took when my (illegal) car was in the shop.

Miami hasn't been remotely good or even mediocre for a decade. They've been the bottom feeder in their conference while Ohio State has made multiple tournaments and one Frozen Four. Miami's boasts about being a hockey school come from a ten year period where they were nationally relevant with a new arena and hot young coach. They were completely irrelevant before that and have reverted back to their historic norm after it. I will say that their new coach does have them at least competitive this year, but that's a long way from competing for NCHC titles and tournament bids.

Ohio State--far from a blueblood--has an overall better winning percentage over history. Miami did manage to catch us in the head-to-head series and run up a good lead when they were hot, and we stunk. Both schools have the same number of NCAA appearances and Frozen Fours. Bowling Green is the only Ohio school to actually win an NC.
