WR Chris Henry Jr. (Official Thread)

If I jumped from that altitude and attempted to land on one leg in a bender position I am absolutely going to crash and burn while people ask if I am ok.
I think most reasonable people will be able to tell the average BPer is definitely not ok in that situation.

The sounds of tearing, popping and screaming will give it away.

Neal Shipley (PGA Golf Pro)

Just made the cut at -3. Shot a 68, 69 tied for 64th place; the leader is in at -12 after 2 rounds. At least if he completes the tournament he'll get another paycheck. He has now made the cut in 7 of his last 10 tournaments.
@Jagdaddy had it correct. Shipley is at -4 under after 2 rounds (shot -3 today), putting him at T49 heading into the weekend.

I watched some of Shipley's play last weekend and he is playing pretty well, just not finishing makeable birdie putts as often as he should. From the holes I saw, his putts to save par have been much more steady.

Purdue Boilermakers (official thread)

McClelland takes swipe at Indiana despite Hoosiers' recent national title

Indiana won college football's national championship just a few months ago. Purdue hasn't won a national championship of any kind in 16 years. The facts didn't stop new Boilermakers athletic director Tommy McClelland from taking a shot at Purdue's instate rival.

"Every recruit, every current student athlete will hear this message repeatedly -- we are here to win championships," McClelland said Thursday during his introductory news conference. "If you don't want to win championships, go to Indiana."
.

.
.
Purdue hasn't won an NCAA national championship in any sport since the women's golf team in 2010. It remains the school's only national championship this millennium.

"The future of Purdue athletics is incredibly bright," said McClelland, who previously was the athletic director at Rice. "I am ready to get to work."

:lol:
More appropriate Purdue AD quote would have been: “We lose. Google us.”

WNBA

Just read that Enes Kanter is suposedly registering for the next WNBA draft. Hilarious if true. Real life Juwana Mann.

Edit: Guess it is true: https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-spo...-enes-kanter-freedom-declares-2027-wnba-draft 8D

Former NBA Draft first round pick (3rd overall in 2011) Enes Kanter Freedom, who has been an adamant opponent of LeBron James, the Chinese Communist Party, Nike, along with more political activism, which he believes blackballed him from the NBA, has officially declared himself a prospect for the 2027 WNBA Draft. Yes, I’m serious.

Details on the official induction of the Class of 2026 will be announced at a later date.

J.T. Barrett
Football, 2014-17

J.T. Barrett is one of the great quarterbacks and leaders in the history of Ohio State football. He led the team to two Big Ten championships (2014 and 2017). He started 44 games and set the school record with 38 victories, including starting four wins over Michigan. He set a total of 39 Ohio State (34) and Big Ten Conference (five) records, including some of the most prestigious for a quarterback: Big Ten records for career total offensive yards (12,697), TD passes (104) and TDs responsible for (147), and Ohio State records for career completion percentage (63.5), touchdown passes (104), passing yards (9,434) and quarterback rushing yards (3,263). His 43 touchdowns scored are fifth-most at Ohio State, trailing only Pete Johnson, Keith Byars, Eddie George and Ezekiel Elliott. A Top 10 vote-getter in the Heisman Trophy race twice, Barrett was responsible for 147 passing and rushing touchdowns to rank fourth in NCAA history in that category. He also ranked 17th in NCAA history in career rushing yards by a quarterback (and third among Big Ten quarterbacks) and he is one of two Division I quarterbacks to throw at least 100 TD passes and rush for at least 40.

Barrett graduated in December 2016 with a degree in communication.

In track and field, Borchers earned a spot on the All-Big Ten First Team in 2013 and All-Big Ten Second Team in 2014. Upon graduation, she held seven records (indoor 800m, indoor 1000m, mile, outdoor 800m, outdoor 1500m, sprint medley relay and distance medley relay). She is a three-time Big Ten Champion in the 800m (2014 outdoor, 2015 indoor, 2015 outdoor).

The 2015 Big Ten Medal of Honor winner also excelled in the classroom and was a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and a three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree.

Diane Dixon
Women's Track & Field, 1983

Diane Dixon was a trailblazer for the Ohio State women's track & field program, setting the standards for excellence in 1983. She captured the 1983 NCAA Outdoor 440y Championship after winning the Big Ten 300m indoor championship earlier that same year. Dixon holds the program records in each of those events and also ran a leg on the Ohio State record 4x400y relay squad. She continues to hold the Jesse Owens Classic and Ohio Stadium records in the 200m and 400m.

Following her time at Ohio State, Dixon went on to earn a silver medal in the 4x400m relay and compete in the 400m at the 1988 Olympics. She served as an alternate for the 1984 Olympics.

Jincy Dunne is one of Buckeye hockey's best blue liners and was a key contributor to the program's rise to national prominence. A four-time captain, Dunne was a member of the program's first NCAA Tournament and Frozen Four team.

Dunne became the first player in program history to be named a two-time First Team All-American and is the only Buckeye to earn All-America honors three times in her career. The 2020 Ohio State Athlete of the Year skated in 147 games for her career and finished with 99 points on 17 goals and 82 assists.

Dunne also became the second Buckeye women's hockey player to represent the United States at the Olympic Games, helping the team to a silver medal finish in 2022. She is also a two-time IIHF Women's World Championship silver medalist for Team USA. Dunne currently plays in the Professional Women's Hockey League for the Minnesota Frost after being drafted to the league in its inaugural season in 2023.
