Compare this guy to Underwood. One guy has been the best player in the sport since he stepped on the field and is still the hardest worker in practice, blocks his ass off, roots his ass off for WR2 and is the most solid teammate in the locker room. The other guy is a $12M mouth.

tdfbia certainly stumbled into one truism. There really is a fundamental culture difference between the two programs.

Jesus. This guy might be the biggest douchebag ever at tsun, which puts him high in the running for biggest douchebag worldwide.

Does he know what he did up north? Because from a certain point in time, he didn't even do enough to be called a game manager. Was he there for those games?

Douchebag probably thinks he won a fair and open qb competition with Reno Jesus.

My dad did a year in Vietnam in 1966-67, and one of the stories he shared was about one of the guys he was quartered with (elevated tent a few inches above mud and puddles during monsoon season) who was near the end of his tour and snapped due to the incessant tree frog noise. Apparently, the guy ran out of the tent with a broom or rake or something similar and started smashing the ground and yelling to shut them up. Everything went silent and the guy came back into the tent satisfied. Then about a minute later they heard a chirp/croak, then a few more, and then the cacophony was back in full effect.

I know this is a little late from when this was posted - almost a month ago. But if you don't want teams to tank, how about you reverse the draft order? The top pick goes to the champions. Then the to the team that lost the finals. And so on...
Yeah, the best get better, but now the lesser teams need to do better with free agency and managing salary caps.
If we keep rewarding schlubbery, then we're going to get more schlubbery.

if you cut off the ability for schlubbery teams to get better, you're going to get more schlubbery.

Latest developments around Marvin Harrison Jr. might be just what the former Ohio State star needs for his NFL career​

Arizona Cardinals and former Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is back to full health with a new offensive role expected under new head coach Mike LaFleur to hopefully finally maximize his NFL potential.

Things are shaping up to change for the better for Harrison and the Cardinals’ offense now that he’s getting back to full health with a new offensive minded head coach in Mike LaFleur, who knows exactly how to utilize his top pass catcher.

Mike LaFleur looking to replicate a similar approach at WR with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson​

LaFleur arrives to Arizona after spending the last two years in the NFC West as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams under head coach Sean McVay. This will be a second chance for LaFleur to run an offense of his own and first opportunity to lead an entire team that’s eager to make some kind of forward progress.

While McVay was the mastermind behind the Rams’ offense, LaFleur played an integral role in the unit’s success, which featured two top wide receivers last season in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. LaFleur plans to run a similar approach in Arizona with Harrison and Michael Wilson.

“With Marv, typically with the X-receiver – let’s just say Davante Adams last year in LA or Julio Jones in Atlanta Falcons – those typical X-guys, they’re not necessarily next to the core very often in terms of playing in between the tight ends and in between the tackles,” LaFleur said. “You look at more a Z-receiver, a Mike Wilson, who’s a little more compact of a guy, those guys are a little more comfortable playing [inside]. You think of Puka Nacua.”

Coming out of the draft, Harrison was compared closely to big-bodied X-receivers such as Julio and AJ Green. He doesn’t have the same release and footwork that makes Adams so dangerous, but the size is comparable between the two. And it’s not just using Harrison on the outside as a traditional X-receiver, LaFleur has other plans for Harrison as well.

“His profile would be that of a typical X-receiver. Just kind of that lengthier body that can play on the outside,” LaFleur explained. “But, what’s unique about this system is you can move them inside and outside on a whim. Just in terms of our formations, our motions, all that kind of stuff. You can utilize your skill sets in different ways. So, (Harrison) is our X-receiver, but you can move him around so that sometimes he is, sometimes he’s not.”

“Ohio State is going toe-to-toe with Tennessee for the nation’s No. 2 running back,” Spiegelman wrote. “From speaking with sources informed on this recruitment, the Buckeyes took another step in the right direction over the weekend.”

Ohio State and Tennessee are the two schools at the top in Gabriel Georges’ recruitment. The 6-foot, 215-pound running back will take visits to Ole Miss and Georgia after the trip to Knoxville this weekend. Ole Miss is a distant third in the recruitment and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Georgia visit didn’t happen. The Bulldogs have the No. 1 RB in the country committed with Kemon Spell, and they’re not getting both.

Just sayin': Look who is predicting that Brock Williams will flip to Ohio State.

Ohio State football commitment Brady Edmunds says the Buckeyes will be stealing away a five-star recruit from the Texas Longhorns​

Ohio State QB commit Brady Edmunds reveals the player who’ll end up signing with the Buckeyes ​

The Buckeyes don’t yet have a tight end committed for the class of 2027, which will change at some point. When four-star Libertyville (Ill) TE Brock Williams committed to Texas, it was a miss for tight ends coach Keenan Bailey for the Buckeyes. Ohio State recruited Williams hard until close to his commitment to Texas on May 15 when it was clear he was trending toward the Longhorns.

Ohio State’s 2027 QB commit believes the Buckeyes will end up getting the elite tight end recruit.

“Brock Williams is going to flip from Texas to Ohio State on Signing Day,” Edmunds said via 247 Sports.

Edmunds has long been a recruiter for the Buckeyes since he committed in December of 2024. Even as his commitment to Ohio State feels a bit rocky, he’s clearly still trying to lure elite talent with him to Columbus, which may say something about where things really stand with him.

According to 247 Sports Composite, Williams is the No. 4 tight end and No. 79 overall player in the class of 2027. Ohio State, Texas, and Alabama were all amongst the top schools for Williams — but he ended up selecting the Longhorns.

Ohio State will keep trying to flip Williams until the pen hits the paper, and Edmunds believes they eventually will. There’s no doubt the Ohio State QB commit wants to be throwing to Williams in the future, we’ll see if what he said becomes reality down the road.

You guys haven't even mentioned the most important future recruit to visit the OSU campus recently. Baby Gronk. I am disappointed in the whole recruiting team (sarcasm font).

https://www.cleveland.com/osu/2026/06/baby-gronk-visits-ohio-state-for-one-day-football-camp.html

No knock on the kid if he is good enough to get the offers. It just strikes me as funny the Cleveland paper gave him a whole article.

Yeah, I purposely ignored it... There's a bunch of posts he tweeted. Legend Bey gave him a tour, posing with Brandon Inniss and he's at a multiple day camp from what I've seen. I want no parts of that kid

TBH, I've really reduced my interest / following recruiting since NIL. Given that we're at page 2 in this thread and it's June, was is offer an OFFER or an offer?

Give me big time DeForest Buckner vibes. That would be a good thing, but obviously in S&G.

My team sucks but not a total cellar dweller.

If I don't finish in last place, I'll hang a banner.

Why Duke vs. Michigan is leaving Madison Square Garden and moving to Miami Marlins' baseball stadium​

One of the biggest nonconference games of the 2026-27 college basketball season is moving more than a thousand miles -- and into a baseball stadium.

In a surprising twist, the Duke-Michigan game that was previously announced for Dec. 21 at Madison Square Garden is now expected to be played at Loan Depot Park, home of the Miami Marlins, sources told CBS Sports. The game date remains Dec. 21. The contracts haven't been signed, but sources this week put it close to 100% that the game gets moved to the MLB ballpark in southeastern Florida.

Bob won the Maxwell Award in 1961, and narrowly mixed becoming the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy, finishing a close second to Ernie Davis of Syracuse, who claimed that honor.

And during his career as a Buckeye, Ferguson was never tackled for a loss.

Ohio State Board of Trustees Approves Final $100 Million Settlement with Richard Strauss Sexual Abuse Survivors​

The Ohio State Board of Trustees voted Wednesday to approve a $100 million settlement with hundreds of survivors of former university doctor Richard Strauss.

The resolution is expected to serve as the final settlement in the ongoing fallout from the Strauss sexual abuse cases. The measure was included in a consent agenda containing dozens of items, which the board approved unanimously.

State president Ravi Bellamkonda said Strauss survivors will always remain part of the Buckeye family and community.

We continue to be very grateful to them for their courage in coming forward — and reaching a final resolution was very important to us as an important step forward,” said Bellamkonda, who became Ohio State’s 18th president on March 12.

Trustees did not disclose details of the settlement during the meeting. Board chair John Zeiger said the terms remain confidential and cannot be made public until the agreement is finalized. Zeiger acknowledged that the public will have questions about what he called “this substantial development” and said the university intends to provide answers when it is able to do so.

It’s important we respect the court’s order and comply with the mediator’s directive,” Zeiger said. “But we will provide additional information on this resolution when we are positioned to do so.”

The university and the plaintiffs released the following joint statement after Wednesday’s board meeting:

Ohio State and 279 of the 280 individual remaining Richard Strauss survivors involved in the pending litigation have reached settlements in principle in a total amount of $100 million. The university’s Board of Trustees has now publicly ratified these agreements in principle, and all parties thank the mediators for their assistance. The mediation and its confidentiality are continuing as the parties work to finalize the details of the settlements, and additional information will be shared as appropriate.

Before Wednesday’s vote, Ohio State had paid more than $61 million to 317 survivors since March 2020. The university also reached settlements with more than a dozen survivors in April.
