Jim Bakker, who built ‘PTL Club’ televangelism empire, has died at 86​

Jim Bakker, who along with his first wife Tammy Faye built an evangelical empire around the hugely successful "The PTL Club" TV show, only to lose it all over a sex scandal and financial crimes, has died. He was 86.

Bakker died Monday, his second wife, Lori Bakker, said in a statement. His cause of death was not immediately clear.

"He was a pioneer of Christian television, but to me, he was my husband, my best friend, and the man I was honored to walk beside through so many seasons of life and ministry," she said.

Jeremiah Smith, Kenyatta Jackson Jr. and Jaylen McClain Are Pro Football Focus’ Highest-Graded Ohio State Players Against Iowa​

The Top Three​

1. WR Jeremiah Smith (89.6)​

For the second straight week, Smith had double-digit receptions and over 200 yards receiving. His grades of 88.3 in receiving and 89.6 in overall offense were the highest of any player in the nation with 10-plus receptions in Week 5.

Another nation-leading mark for Smith in Week 5 was his 206 receiving yards, making him the first Ohio State receiver to have back-to-back games with over 200 receiving yards. For the season, Smith has PFF's highest grades in the nation in offense (94.9) and receiving (94.5).

This is the fourth straight week PFF has ranked Ohio State's Heisman hopeful as a top-three player on the team.

2. DE Kenyatta Jackson Jr. (82.5)​

Jackson earned a pass-rushing grade of 90.8 against Iowa, the highest for any player in the Big Ten. The defensive end forced a fumble on a 13-yard sack on the second play of the game, backing up his words after he said the Buckeye defense would bounce back from a “terrible” performance against Illinois.

3. S Jaylen McClain (78.3)​

With a season tackling grade of 90.7, McClain leads the Big Ten and is ranked fourth in the nation in this category. He is just shy of being No. 1 in the nation, as a pair of North Texas players have the top spot with a grade of 91.0.

6 pages. And NOT ONE “FUCK *ICHIGAN”.

Don’t be slipping. Fuck them then. Fuck them now. Fuck them forever.

The lack of offensive development really is glaring. Certainly a lot of this has to fall on the hitting coaching throughout the organization, though you could probably put some blame on poor scouting as well.

Anyone going to be in Denver for this game? I see Hayter’s is the alumni watch bar but haven’t been there since I’m from out of town. Was supposed to watch with someone but he bailed on all our plans for that weekend.

Feister brothers ruled ineligible. Lots of stuff in this article that provides a bit more context to why they left Hoban, sounds like Massillon is back to their old ways (allegedly), and I am reminded when it comes to Coach Day - trust the coach.

Massillon saw Big Walnut and Watterson in their region and decided they needed an upgrade....

The coaches know.

Mississippi State lost by 33 points at home to Alabama and only fell 1 spot in the AP Poll

Iowa fell 6 spots after losing at home by 17 points to Ohio State.

There's definitely not built in SEC poll bias!

Bravo Twister!!!!

Torn triceps, out for season. Damn
