Im pretty intrigued to see this years squad in action. Alot of athleticism

Miss State

Saban is really coming across as a clown who is butthurt because his advantage of under the table payments and other shady actions were taken away and made him rage quite coaching.

OK, I wanted to know what Ilija Palavestra did to earn B1G Freshman of the week, so I Googled it:
Ilija Palavestra earned the Big Ten Freshman of the Week award by going undefeated with a 4-0 record in the Fighting Irish Mini Duels.
He achieved this performance with the following details:

• • Went 2-0 in singles and 2-0 in doubles (partnering with Alex Fuchs) against opponents from Northwestern and Notre Dame.
  • Did not drop a single set the entire weekend.

They absolutely haven't gotten what they deserve yet

Having wanted a FB/H back type for a few years now this makes me very happy.

Make the beers $1 and they'll sell out

Gus Johnson did his best to ruin Chris Henry Jr.'s unforgettable Ohio State TD​

If this is the 'passion' Gus is going to bring to the broadcast booth, then find someone else.



How many times is Gus Johnson going to get away with this? Johnson, a fantastic play-by-play commentator 95 percent of the time, continues to let Ohio State fans down with some of his calls. More of the same was showcased in the Week 3 win over Kent State, taking some excitement away from what was a major moment for freshman Chris Henry Jr.

Sure, this was a blowout win against Kent State and Henry's 75-yard touchdown came in the fourth quarter... but Gus had to be kidding with how he handled this play. Take a listen to the video below and you'll see exactly why. Johnson sounds like he's watching a chess or checkers match, not one of the top teams in the country... :

Chris Henry Jr. deserved more than Gus Johnson's rough call for his 75-yard Ohio State TD​

Show us some dang emotion, Mr. Johnson. Seriously, no one was expecting Johnson to have the same reaction to Omar Cooper Jr.'s game-winning TD for Indiana against Penn State or anything, but some excitement sure would have been nice. Oh, and he also mistakenly said it was Henry's first Ohio State TD - it was his second.

Henry was fired up after that long touchdown grab and so were fans in the stands for him. The true freshman wideout has MONSTER expectations for this team moving forward and everyone is getting a close look at his potential. He's only going to keep getting better and once Jeremiah Smith leaves for the NFL next season - he'll have what it takes to be a leader for this offense.

With Big Ten play here too, the hope is that he'll keep getting more comfortable with the offense and help Julian Sayin and Co., which countless people have been expecting from him since he signed with the Buckeyes. He's the real deal, no doubt.

As for Johnson, this of course isn't the first time he's left the Ohio State faithful fully disappointed. What's worse is that he previously said he loved calling the Michigan vs. Ohio State games when the Wolverines posted their four-game winning streak over the Buckeyes. There's clearly a bit of a rooting interest there for the Detroit native, and plenty of people are sick of it.

It just feels like Johnson is a bit more amped up to call games when the Buckeyes aren't the ones on the field turning heads in the middle of the action. If that's going to continue forward, then FOX should find someone else to be on the mic when Ohio State is front and center. Otherwise, OSU supporters will continue to be left shaking their heads and feel wanting more with his vanilla reactions to what's supposed to be something that's downright electric. Pick it up, man.

Probably the perfect game to play 3 safeties in nickel anyway so Timmons resting up won't kill us. The secondary other than communication is our strong suit.

Hopefully staff pushes the right buttons

Give me some Roker and I’m not talking Al….

Here is my copy, 1080p and 60fps.

Number one priority: Stop the run

I'd still have Terry McLaurin right there or ahead of JSN. But this is someone else's thread :)

Texas AD Chris Del Conte condemns Longhorns' celebrations: 'Cannot happen again'​

The Longhorns AD did not hold back on the vulgar celebrations of Colin Simmons and Raleek Brown from last week's win over Tennessee​

Last weekend, Colin Simmons and Raleek Brown drew significant attention to themselves and the Texas football program, with the bad press outweighing the good. Athletic director Chris Del Conte is adamant that players only cast the university in a positive light moving forward.

In the first half of No. 1 Texas' win over Tennessee, Simmons got to Volunteers quarterback Faizon Brandon for one of the program's record 5.5 sacks before pretending to urinate on the field. Not only did that draw a flag, but it drew plenty of negative press over the next few days.

Later in the game, after his fourth-quarter touchdown run, Brown pretended to wipe his groin before bringing it to his face and falling backward. Fortunately for the Horns, that celebration was not flagged, but it did get noticed by everyone watching at home.

In his weekly Forty Acres Insider newsletter, Del Conte didn't mince words when condemning the vulgar celebrations.

"I'm not happy about that," Del Conte wrote. "I know none of us are, and it was embarrassing to our proud and widely respected football team, athletics program and university. It certainly raised very warranted concerns that many of you shared with me, drew a lot of attention, and I understand why."

Del Conte added that such actions will not be tolerated by the football program or the university, and he also supported Steve Sarkisian's strong stance against them.

"As he said, it is unacceptable and will not be tolerated," Del Conte wrote. "The message is clear -- the players' conduct did not reflect the values of Texas Athletics or our university and cannot happen again."

Hey part of me is with you, but modern college football ( which kind of sucks) leads to some degree of practicality.

I am not out there pumping all over social media "free bey" or whatever the f that is. That is not me.

There needs to be a practical middle ground. How does a coach keep discipline, while handling the modern rules of CFB. I see what is going on at USC, Scum and SC. Nobody wants that.

But..... nobody wants Clemson either.

Day can take some risks some time. I think he is trying more than ever, and expect the kid to get a play here or there.

OSU needs him next year, with JJ leaving.

Ohio State will survive if Bey is here or not.

If this little bump in the road is enough to make him leave, he wasn't for this place anyway.

I mean his knee injury was pretty severe when he was with Washington, right? I think there was a ruptured tendon even? I generally consider true busts to be ones who just don't work out more than the ones who have potential career ending injuries.
