You dorks can "tut-tut" and finger wag all you want.

I'm leaning into it.

DOCTOR John Frank!

I really want this kid to stay a Buckeye. Seems like he really wants to be at Ohio State and hope the staff gives him the chance. I’m all for bringing on another QB too and letting them fight it out, but he’s been a Buckeye since a kid it seems(and is extremely talented as well), I hope he gets the opportunity. Then he needs to win the job but I’d hate to see this kid start his career somewhere else at this point.

And to think that when he commited to tOSU, he was the 'throw-in' with the shooter, the rebounder and the ball handler. He's done himself proud. Good for him.

Every production line (industry) has a 'bottleneck'. That means that when everything flows well, one point is the thing that holds the line from going gang busters. Every production/assembly line has one. Using that simile, the Buckeye offense has an elite WR group, a much better than average RB group, and a QB that produced an almost 70% success ratio. That leaves the OL as the bottleneck. Everyone above has tabbed the OL as the problem, and yeah, Bowen's the figurehead, and yeah, the players have to execute. Heck, we've seen OL players get replaced, and then drafted by the NFL! And they practice against a darn good DL. Lack of talent? Everyone of them are very serviceable. Superstars, nope. Everyone has their flaws. Need better coaching? Hard to say. Teamwork? Chemistry? Injuries? Have zero answers, but hope they perform well enough to get the job done, keep Sayin upright, and give the WRs time to break free. And let us not forget to open holes for the RBs and get to the second level. An early Monday rant

Absolutely baffles me how Jeremiah has not received the Biletnikoff (sp) award yet. He's done all of it, catches, TDs, YAC, big plays, that you'd want to see in a WR, and of course, helps the team win games, with the 'big catch'. Of course, I have a myopic view of the world, centered around the Buckeyes, and not an all-worldly one. Maybe this is the year?

Liston beats Patterson

And this will be his third OC in three seasons. Cannot see any major changes being made by Smith, probably mostly tweaks, rather than directional changes. Kinda like the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' mode. We always hear, that the TE will get more involved, and we'll do the RPO more, or hit the underneath receiver who's at speed type of things. Maybe the OC will give formations that look like pass, but are runs, and vice versa. Dunno. Just going to enjoy the show. tOSU can/will out talent most of the B10, and hopefully show well in it's only major OOL game, Texas, and then await the playoffs, where the caliber of team we're facing is on the same level as the Buckeyes. Go Bucks

You guys are watching Cleveland make it to the conference finals without this flopping douche, and you want to blow it all up to bring him (and his kid) into the mix? Cmon man.

I was wondering why I was seeing all these posts from Steelers people glazing Rodgers. That fanbase can lie to themselves like no other.

Yeah, seems like the only 'ballyhooing' done is by the Buckeye beat writers. Nothing national that I can see. But lest we forget, Arvell wasn't exactly a household name before his break-out year that saw him go from a 'no-name' to a top 5 draft choice. There's been top flight talent put on the field, and they have pedestrian play, and get replaced by the #2, who goes on a rampage all over the place. Would be alot easier if there were a fool-proof crystal ball with the answer already written. Such is life. Anyone still have a working '8-ball' that gives you an answer when you tip it over?

Apparently his time at tOSU was just 'not that great'.

So, he cleaned things up a bit?

Just sayin':

1. UVa finished 28-4 and won the National Championship. Two of those losses were to Ohio State.

2. If everyone eligible on UVa comes back next season, they are going to be tough to beat in 2026/2027.

It’s just a leverage move

Just joking. Had no idea that is Justin smith’s kid. Haven’t heard that name in a while

No way! Justin Smith was one of my all time favorite Bengals. Talk about great bloodlines. Really huge commitment. Some might say...

Do you guys remember what Franklin did the last time he got a highly rated QB recruit?

That's not a rhetorical question. Can anyone help me out here? I really can't remember.

I know he lost to Ohio State that's all I cam think of

That was one of the great 9 holes of all time, and that putt he hit to ice it will join the eternal majors highlights (with Jacks one iron, Pavins 3 wood, Paynes putt, etc.)

The long bunker shot to get up and down on 13 won’t be remembered much, but it should be.

Bucks now sit in 6th place (in front of ttun) in B1G play. Looks like possible match up with Washington to start B1G tourney play...

Conf play 18-12 (ttun 17-13)
Overall 29-23

Wow man. Unreal how they've turned it around. Dare I say there's hope for the future?

You can throw that prediction out the window now

Bums

Diebs actually stacks up well compared to MOST B1G coaches over their respective first 2 seasons; however, there's no doubt this upcoming season is the crucial one. With 3 years left on his contract, after this upcoming season he will have 2 years left if not extended, and OSU typically does not let coaches have under 2 years left for recruiting purposes. Everything is lined up for him to lead the team to a good season and get a contract extension, if it doesn't happen there's no where else to turn.
