Headlines You Don't See Every Day (outside of Florida)


God as my witness, I thought “alpha males” could swim.
You didn't know that beta's are fish?:biggrin:

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

Login to view embedded media
I get what he's trying to do. But until the coaches are held to the same standard, the rule would be BS
Most coaches don’t transfer more than once so yeah I agree with this.

Everyone should have 5 years and 1 transfer.

Would give some god damn meaning to the original commitment. I’m tired of seeing kids go to a school and then transfer after 1 year to go to the next highest bidder.

We are one step away from collective bargaining (contracts) and I’m here for that.

Favorite Movie Scenes

My mother and my aunt love to go late night bowling. They took us along as sort of a cover so my dad wouldn't think they were hanging out in the lounge. They'd dump us off at the theater and then go "bowling for a few hours. It was all good, loved going to late movies with the adults, especially when they were rated R. I also saw Close Encounters and The In-Laws in that same theater.

DL Darryus McKinley (Official Thread)

Better Know a Buckeye: Darryus McKinley’s Speed and Strength on the Edge Could Allow Him to Be Versatile Defensive End for Ohio State

Depth Chart Outlook​

With a loaded group of defensive ends in 2026, including Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Beau Atkinson, Zion Grady, Epi Sitanilei, Alabama transfer Qua Russaw and fellow freshmen Khary Wilder and Dre Quinn, McKinley isn’t likely to see much playing time in year one.

How McKinley develops over the course of his first couple of years in Columbus will determine whether he ultimately earns his way onto the defensive line two-deep in 2027 or 2028.

Not trying to degrade anyone here but Atkinson is just a name on the roster until he shows he’s anything beyond that. In no way am I trying to put words in anyone’s mouth but I don’t understand why it’s some foregone conclusion that he’s a lock for the rotation.

Maybe I’m being harsh, but he didn’t stand out at all to me against high level competition.

2028 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

It's easier to climb the mountain than to stay atop of it, when all others are trying to knock you off the top.
Thats my sentiment regarding IU. It’s more fun to be the hunter than the hunted. How will IU act when they are the hunted and can no longer sneak up on teams.
On top of the money and Shark Tank, Cignetti is clearly an elite coach that proved. He can out coach Day.

Ducks behind couch**
No need to duck, Day got beat. But his kicker did him no favors. This season will show a lot about Cignetti imo

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

So they take 5 guys in the first 4 rounds. All college players.

-the SS that can’t hit but has crazy power in BP
-another SS that can hit but has no power. Also can’t stick at SS so 2B but at least he can put bat to ball.
-a 1B that can hit decent and has decent power so maybe turns into a real 1B someday. Also apparently a lumbering oaf defensively and can’t run so he’s going to have to hit a ton. Upside for him is that he’s in an organization nearly devoid of talented competition.
-2 pitchers who were already bullpen arms in college.

Fuck me with a chainsaw this is an exciting franchise. So happy to be a fan.

The Jerome Schottenstein Center (Official Thread)

Could be just me, but was/am of the opinion that 'naming rights' is transitory. In other words, you pay X to have your name there, but after, what, five years? Then the rights are used up and unless there's a continuation clause in the contract, tOSU can go out for another round of bidding. Certainly a company wants to be recognized, but they might have to make a decision if the marketing expense is gaining them market share/sales etc. Guess I'm saying that 'buying' may be a misnomer, but 'renting' is more likely. Sort of a continuing money maker for the AD. PS, does anyone know if the debt for building all of these wonderful facilities is being defeased? Eventually the interest on this big number can take away from NIL etc. See US Debt levels, versus amount of US budget required to service said debt.

OSU Women's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

Kitts is (to me at least) an enigma. See her floating around the 'crumb area' to pick up long rebounds, and doing her pull-up thing away from the reach of their bigs. Haven't really seen her get dirty fighting for rebounds. (I could have been going to the fridge when might have happened). Anyway, her injury profile leaves much to learn about her. Yeah, hope for the best, do know that when she comes in, that there will/seems to be a spark in the offense. Rereading what I wrote, don't misunderstand, believe that tOSU is stronger with her than without. Also wonder how McDuff will utilize these pieces to enhance the team performance effectively.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

Trying to run two businesses, one of which is in a rapidly changing environment, under the outdated framework of an old University simply is to going to work.

Big college athletics isn’t the same as the big school. Two different entities, two different goals, two different guidance systems needed.

You can game financials for a while but ultimately they are like spandex and little kids, they always tell the truth.
