Asinine Conspiracies

So many things are beyond belief these days, there’s almost nothing that I hear that sounds like a conspiracy anymore.
I'm just the opposite. I don't believe anything, anymore. I mean, we were faking Joe Paterno pants-pooping videos 20 years ago. All the other video "proof" that exists now looks so real that none of it can possibly be real.
I mean... Indiana is winning national championships. Canadians are cheating at curling. Women are operating motor vehicles (sort of). I mean, show me some proof that we AREN'T living in the matrix.
And while you struggle to find a way to prove it, think on this: when your uncle says he has your nose, you might want to double-check, because there's a good chance that it's just his own thumb.

Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

There's no telling what a chemical gangbang those are compared to 1986.
Honestly I'd be more worried about what was in 1986 - not that I get these now - but at least now we have people who are willing to pick them apart so we "know"....

Disgusting either way.

'26 OH SF Anthony Thompson is a Buckeye!!!

OK, Thornton gone, Tilly gone, Noel gone, can see a place for Smith day one. Thompson at the 3? Pushing Devin to teh 2, and Mobley to the 1? Help me here folks, not seeing the chess pieces on the board.....You get a 5*, you play him, natch! But where?
Hard to play the projection game without knowing what leaves and comes from the transfer portal game.

Ohio State Women's Basketball (2023-24 B1G CHAMPS)

Taped tOSU v MD game. Well, tuned in for the final quarter and a half. Heard that the Lady Bucks had been up by 19, but when I tuned in, our girls were behind, and stayed there. MD has the genie working for them, they were running in threes from everywhere, by everyone, and there was ALWAYS a hand in their faces. Saw some calls made, that weren't even close, but ref made them for MD. Seemed when our players made contact, whistle blew, but when theirs did, it was play on. OK, well know that a game shouldn't be close enough that a ref's call decides the outcome. On the plus side (I believe), when camera panned on tOSU players walking off the floor, there was looks of determination/anger/etc in all their eyes. Not sure that McDuff is a 'win one for the Gipper' kinda guy, but their faces said it all. Not a great week end, given the men's loss to VA, and wrestlers stopping by PSU, and now MD squeaking by the Buckeyes. Maybe stay from the East coast for awhile?

B1G (Official Thread)

My junior year, 1964, Marathon Oil and WBNS gave out/sold a set of Big Ten glasses in each schools' colors and with each schools' seal. I was living with three other guys in a four bedroom house on Norwich and so I bought the set, The set traveled with me to another apartment, Ft. Lewis, Ft. Eustis, a first marriage, a divorce, a couple of wild, free years, a second marriage, and a move to California. The last of the set, Illinois, broke in a move back from Bezerkely in 1979.

"This is WBNS, in the heart of Big Ten Territory," became part of every announcement made on Channel 10. That connection to the conference has remained with me and is part of the reason I dislike the expansion into eastern and western universities.

Ohio State Men's Ice Hockey (2019 B1G Champions)

Rohlik has really pulled this team together. In their last five games, they've taken tcun to OT, swept Minny and split with Wiscy. In the last three weekends coming up, we have #1 Sparty and the #6 Pedsters, so we'll see what happens. Unless the portal fucks us, however, I'm pretty confident about next year.

Ohio State vs. #15 Virginia, (Nashville, TN), Saturday Feb. 14, 8pm EST, FOX

It was the first game of the season they didn't start Mobley. You act like missing one of your leading scorers is no big deal, but OSU refused to put competitive NIL resources into building up this roster, so it's a huge deal.
On Mobley, yes he might have contributed or he might have scored about 3 points as he did against Pitt or Washington. He probably would have taken some of Thornton's 28 pts, so that could have been a wash. But he wouldn't have made much difference in the rebounding deficit, which was 14! They outrebounded OSU 40 - 26. If you saw the game you saw our guys lose rebounds they should have had, not be in position for rebounds, etc...

E.g., two Buckeyes under the basket, boxing out a UVA player who jumps over them and swats it to his teammate. Our guys didn't bother to jump or even raise their arms for the ball. Another one, ball is bouncing under the basket, our two guys stand there and let the UVA guy pick it up, *then* Tilly decides to do something, ties it up, possession arrow to UVA. Other plays where OSU is nowhere near in position. Buckeyes have the size to be better than 103rd in rebounding. UVA is 12th in rebounding because of good coaching and mentality (from good coaching).

It is obvious OSU does not run a well-coached offense even with Mobley. This is in contrast to their opponents that have seasoned coaches that know what they are doing. Game on the line, under a minute to go, it's Tilly for the 3. Da fuq? With Bynum and Thornton on the court? That's bad coaching. That's why we can't win these close ones.
