2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Interesting thoughts, but I don't see the NIL escalation abating, unless the government puts a 'cap' on NIL spending, per school, per sport whatever. And certainly a school is going to put their money where it can make the biggest impact. Less we forget, Xichigan has what, a reported $10 million riding on the QB1 position, and if their MBB number is remotely in the ballpark, there's another $10 million onto the hardwood. Given their alleged status in college football, might opine there's another $20 million amongst the other football recruits/transfers, so there's about $40 right there. Mighty tall timber in my estimation. Unless Larry Ellison is picking up part of the tab, that's alot of moola for those car workers to put up on a continuous basis. The only saving grace, is that there's only 12-13 players on the basketball team, so might be easier to fund. The merry-go-round or the great mandala continues to turn.
And easier to hit on the B1G player of the year. Championship, merch, advert, etc... Repeat the cycle.

Cleveland Guardians (2026 Season Thread)

Love what I've seen from the rotation so far....I think Gavin is an ace and Cantillo and Messick can create a solid 2/3. Bibee and Slade on the back end....I like Bibee but mentally he's just not there, frustrating to watch him take himself out of the game sometimes. Hopefully that improves as he ages, but he's his biggest enemy.

Sabrowski - still a stud and so underrated

Man, if Gaddis and Walters get healthy this pitching staff can be elite.

Brito has impressed so far, his glove always sucks though so that will be his growing pain. Bazzana is next guy up if another injury hits.

Lastly - awesome to see Hedges hitting better after improving his bat speed. Soooo much better behind the plate than Naylor, who has no idea what to challenge. I had hope his end of 2025 would carry over but it's not....Ingles can't get here soon enough, he's hitting .389 with a .633 OBP in Cbus, I don't care if it's 8 games, I want it!

Pittsburgh Pirates (5x WS Champions) Ain't Nutting happenin'

i really think this team might have something - they may falter and are going to have some bad stretches, but i really think they have something. Pirates fans expected the pitching to be solid, which for the most part it has been, but the new additions (minus Ozuna) have produced, KG while being still young and not setting the world on fire, is going to be just fine, hitting the ball hard, those will produce hits eventually, solid D from him. Outfield cannot make a play to save our lives (other than O'Hearn) - but i think that will resolve. Buctober is coming!
They are a really good young team. The pitching will keep them in every game and that addition of OHearn was brilliant

Like to see a70s reboot where the Pirates and Reds rule the division again

CB Jyaire Brown (transfer to LSU, transfer to UCF, transfer to Southern Miss)

This kid had some promise freshman year so it’s a minor sting. Nothing this season (undisclosed injury?).

Best of luck.
It’s like Kye Stokes and Malik Hartford. These guys get really high praise as Freshmen in the Defensive Backfield and crack the two deep roster. Then they get older and can’t start for lesser teams. Pretty odd but maybe Ohio State makes some turds look like decent starters.

Apparently I have been living in a hole. I had not heard the nipple ring rumor.
