Game Thread tOSU at Texas, Sat. Sept 12, 7:30 pm ET, ABC

I'm cheering for the Buckeyes. Of course that natty run was amazing. It took a freaking player revolt for it to happen.

What is the offensive identity of this team?

Same as always, pro passing with a complimentary rushing attack. The 1st half was a great example of what they want to do. Take some shots, audible into runs when the defense gives you a light box, RPOs. Yards and TDs were there in the 2nd half. Need to learn from mistakes and get better.

What's worse is I'm pretty sure time clock are reviewable and the booth could have called down and fixed it.

But I was fine the way they called the whole game. Till they called a hold on our last drive while ignoring it during Texas's entire comeback

I’ve come to expect zero holding calls, but it drives me insane when those dipshits wait until the last second to call it as a troll on OSU.

Maybe I’m in the minority here but I think the entire team, and particularly the defense, wilted in the heat at the end of the game. The two three and outs couldn’t have come at a worse time.

I’m very interested in seeing how they play against a top team in less than 100 degree weather.

WNBA (Official Thread)

U.S. beats France for fifth straight women's World Cup title

Breanna Stewart and the U.S. faced a stiff challenge from France before dominating in the second half to win its fifth consecutive women's FIBA World Cup.

The 97-79 victory extended the Americans' streak to 36 straight World Cup wins, dating to the semifinals of the 2006 World Cup, where they lost to Russia. The U.S. improved to 9-0 in gold-medal games since finishing second in 1983 to the Soviet Union.

Despite the final score, this one wasn't easy; the Americans faced their biggest deficit in the tournament in a long time, trailing by 14 points in the first half. They calmly rallied behind Stewart and Jackie Young to get within two at halftime, and Caitlin Clark hit a 3-pointer just before the buzzer.

The U.S. dominated in the second half, starting the third quarter with a 11-2 run to go up 54-47. Stewart, who has now four World Cup titles to her name, had four points during the game-changing burst.

Stewart, who was named the tournament MVP, finished with 22 points and Young with 18.

France was able to get within 55-51, but the Americans used a 16-3 spurt that included France being called for two unsportsmanlike fouls on the same play. The Americans were up 73-57 heading into the fourth quarter, and France never was able to close the gap.

This was the second-youngest team the Americans have sent to a World Cup. There were many newcomers on the roster including Clark, Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers, who were getting their first experience with the national team. But it was the veterans who carried the team to the victory.

HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

It's this. He always seems like he needs to "learn a lesson" by losing in order to stop doing something that shouldn't require a loss to flip that switch. But he's still better than most people out there.
He has more talent than most people out there.

tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Certainly a legitimate question. If so, then these QBs would matriculate to the Mid-American conferences of the world. And their training would be second rate as well. Now, might get some game time earlier, but daily learning by some of these bigger schools, who have better coaches (more of them as well), and more competitive competition to go against, might actually pay bigger dividends. HS coaches are not so great, (exceptions exist certainly), but generally not. So learning opportunities exist at the upper levels. Probably a NIL package might be bigger with the bigger schools, else the kids, if not deemed to be able to play at that level, would probably a preferred walk-on.

OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

Now that some time has passed, I turned on the radio just as Texass kicked the go ahead XP.

I heard the announcer say that there was 0:25 seconds left, my first thought was an Arthur Smith offense vs a Will Muschamp defense with that amount of time left meant that the Buckeyes would need a lot of good fortune to win this game.

I figured the game thread might’ve been heated in the moment and kept that thought to myself.

Myles Garrett (DE Los Angeles Rams)

Sources: Rams' Myles Garrett to have knee surgery, headed to IR

Rams defensive end Myles Garrett will have arthroscopic surgery on his knee and be placed on injured reserve, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Sunday.

Garrett, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, will miss at least the next four games. He is eligible to return to the roster for the Rams' Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

After the Rams' season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Garrett said his knee was not 100% healthy going into the game. He called his performance against San Francisco "the worst version of myself that I've put out there."

Garrett missed most of training camp with what Rams coach Sean McVay called swelling in Garrett's knee. After the Week 1 game in Melbourne, Australia, Garrett declined to say which knee is injured, but he wore a sleeve on his left leg during several practices.

2026 tOSU at Texas BMW Thread

This is about as big as a mental blow you can get. It took a damn near player revolt to flip the script after the 2024 scUM loss. I really don't think Day is mentally equipped himself to be the guy to get this roster to properly move on from this. At this point I'm expecting 2 more losses and no playoffs.
As long as it isn’t scUM too.

2026 Season: Are You Ready For Some Football?

Are you (still) ready for some football?

With the exception of an undefeated season, everything that really matters (i.e. beating scUM, winning B1G, and a Natty) is still "on the table".

Across the Field
Fight the team across the field,
Show them Ohio’s here
Set the earth reverberating with a mighty cheer
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Hit them hard and see how they fall;
Never let that team get the ball,
Hail! Hail! The gang’s all here,
So let’s win that old conference now.
