Well played...

What was the last season that the OL wasn't our primary concern. It seems like a lifetime.

Well, there goes any faint hope that they might be benevolent …

If Stein really wants fans to make a statement, he should encourage them to wait outside the stadium with piss balloons for bama fans, players and coaches

If you're making a reference to 2005 Penn State, you can include the visiting team's marching band.

For those new to threads like these, this is the Bitch/Moan/Whine thread where negative thoughts reside, especially during the actual game.

Prior to kickoff, there’s not a lot of rational thought in here.

Ga Tech for me.

Pretty funny how he was underrated coming into college and going into the pros b/c of his physical traits. All he does is get open and catch the football

Agreed.
I didn't know anyone in NYC or Washington at that time. I had no ties at that time to anyone who might have been directly "in the line of fire". There was no "I hope so-and-so is okay."
But how could they do this to "us"?

I had no real tie to any of the buildings, but when the first tower collapsed, I remember thinking, "Well, at least the other one is still standing." Of course, that was only a thing for another hour or so.

How dare they do this to "us"?

Not to defend these actions, (In fact, I would condemn them now) but I can understand how people soon became hostile to middle easterners for a while.

One of my wife and I's best friends from high school (OSU Grad) lived / lives in NYC. Home in Brooklyn Heights and his office in Manhattan. From his office he was he saw the planes hit the towers. The story of that day from him was so sobering. Having to walk home in a daze with your fellow citizens. Never forget ....

This is how I think too. Talking before the game means nothing, predicting, prognosticating, "expert analysis", none of that matters. Finebaum, Cowherd, Pate, Klatt, etc won't save Tejas from getting popped in the mouth. Marshawn said it best:

Per Brian Dohn, Ohio State and Penn State are in the most frequent communication with 5* CB Nasir Richardson.
He's believed to be the top overall target on PSU's board. And has visits lined up to Michigan, Miami, Oregon, PSU, Auburn, and OSU (Kent State game on 9/19).

A penetrating article.

Article about how college players are buying homes with their NIL dollars. The headline is of course clickbait.

NCAA grants Ukrainian Kate Koval transfer waiver following departure from LSU due to Russian teammate​

Koval decided to leave LSU after the Tigers signed a Russian teenager this summer​

The NCAA has granted Kate Koval a waiver that will allow her to enter the transfer portal following her recent departure from LSU, per multiple reports. Although the transfer portal window for women's basketball closed in April, Koval will be able to play for a different team during the 2025-26 season. The 6-foot-5 center has at least two seasons of eligibility still remaining.

While Koval originally planned on staying with LSU, she decided to officially leave the team last month. At first it was announced that it was for "personal reasons, but on Sept. 2 she confirmed the reason was because LSU had signed a 17-year-old Russian post player Anna Minaeva. This created a difficult situation for Koval, who was born and raised in Ukraine -- a country currently at war with Russia. Koval and her family are extremely close to the situation since her father works as a drone operator for the Ukrainian military.

"My father serves in the Ukrainian military and takes tremendous pride in defending his country against Russian aggression," Koval explained on a social media post. "For me, this war is not distant or abstract. People close to me have been killed and wounded in Russian attacks, and places where I grew up and first began playing basketball have been destroyed by missile strikes."

Koval has been playing basketball in the United States since 2021, when she left Ukraine to play at Long Island Lutheran High School in New York.

LSU head coach Kim Mulkey had a conversation with Koval when her staff was going to start recruiting Minaeva. She even suggested that they could be "ambassadors" for the two countries, but Koval was not comfortable with the situation and ultimately decided to leave.

Koval spent her freshman season at Notre Dame and made the ACC All-Freshman Team before transferring to LSU for the 2025-26 season. As a sophomore with the Tigers, she appeared in 35 games, 17 as a starter, and averaged 8.3 points on 56% shooting, 6.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks per contest. She was expected to be the starting center for Mulkey this season. Earlier this summer, Koval represented Ukraine in the 2026 FIBA 3x3 Women's World Cup and helped the native country advance to the quarterfinals.

The NCAA allows a maximum of 15 players on a Division I women's basketball roster, and Koval would be a welcome addition for any team still looking to add frontcourt depth. As college basketball programs already have practices underway, Koval's options will be limited since most rosters are completed. However, if her waiver had not been approved, she would have had to sacrifice a year of eligibility.

Just sayin': I only count 11 players on Ohio State's roster.

Whatever
