OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

You know what I mean, and you're too smart for this. It's disingenuous. You're saying it as if that means he's good at his job. Certainly every coach on staff must be good, because look......they won a whole division.

Like, come on. You know it was a garbage division. You know the Steelers were not a good football team this year. You know the strength of the Steelers is the defense. Just saying "Hey HE won the division" isn't intellectually honest.....because 1) HE didn't win it, the team as a whole did, and 2) that was the worst division in the sport by a long shot. Don't quote me on this, because I don't know the exact scenarios....but at one point with like 4 or 5 games left, I read that they could have finished 8-9 and still won the division. Just saying "they won the division" is intentionally hiding how not good of a team they were. They weren't BAD, they were just not good.

This is outside the discussion of if Smith is a good hire or not. I just need to know that you know this, for my own mental well being.


I also don't think I posted any stats about him.....so I don't think I cherry picked any. I think I just said shit like he loves TEs and couldn't figure out how to have success with Bijan Robinson. But if I cherry picked something I'll admit to it, if your mental well being is on the line.

My mental well being is fine, and yours should be too. We root for the same time, but have differing views on this hire. And that's OK.
The AFC North was a terrible division, but 1 team had to win it. Arthur Smith was the OC of the team that won. Nothing about that is misleading, it is a fact. Of course the team won it as a whole, we all know that. You're trying to be petty and act like I'm meaning he won it on his own. Of course he didn't, but he led the offense which scored points, which led them to winning the division, again another fact. You keep ignoring the fact that the teams he had were not very talented(he also doesn't use TEs as much as you say, though he under utilized Bijan), and were quite limited, idk what else to tell you and I'm sorry if that doesn't help your well being.
Everyone has an opinion of a hire until the games are played, and the truth is shown. OSU fans questioned: Hartline, Day, LJsr, and Kelly to name a few, but yet those same fans loved the Coombs hire for DC. We literally will not know a thing until games are played.

I'm not sure what you're looking for me to tell you. I refuse to spend an off season complaining about the hire, as opposed to seeing the positives in it. There are countless other teams who would love to be in our fan position. I have buddies who are fans of FSU, Purdue, Texas, South Carolina, UVA, VA Tech, NC State, etc and all would love to be in our position, and Smith would be considered a steal to them.

Yeah, you mighta been two-timed....wife and daughter 'forced' me to buy a vehicle with those cameras to prevent the 'backing into traffic' stuff, as well as indicators that someone is in the left lane passing me, etc etc etc. OK, I'm not smart enough to be able to process all this information, but have started to rely on those cameras, rather than the look-over-the-shoulder glance. But also drive the country roads to the golf club, and see many to the 'California stop', with maybe a tap of the brakes then barrel through the intersection. PS, secretary asked me how I got to work...told her, and then she said that the farm workers generally don't even slow down on those back roads. Caused me to pause a bit, and look both ways to see if the oncoming car is actually slowing... and when there's the tully fog, we have idiots that don't put on their lights. Just be safe out there....

Saw a write-up somewhere, that opined the tOSU might win four against PSU. That might be a stretch, but that's why they play the games/matches. Am encouraged to see the aura of positive with the singlet guys. Am going out on a limb here, but gotta think that the Buckeyes are pointing toward Penn St.....hope we're all healthy.

It's possible, sucks Cannon got hurt because that would've at least tightened up the score. I usually write up a prediction by weight for this dual but I'm skipping it this year. We could get blown out on the road and lose toss up matches worse case scenario, or we could win the tight ones or where we're favored and only lose by 10-15 points best case scenario. Of course I hope we give them a run and pull off the upset, but it's just not going to happen.

Professional Players Returning to College

calibuck
Seem to recollect, back in the Gary Williams day, that tOSU got a commit from an overseas kid. He'd played in a semi-pro European League, and therefore could not receive a scholarship to play at Ohio State. And to think/believe that a local court would be impartial to a case that would allow a player to play for their 'hometown team' is completely ludicrous. Does one believe that an Ohio court would rule against a Buckeye player/recruit if would help the team. Thought not....

Ohio State Women's Basketball (2023-24 B1G CHAMPS)

calibuck
Well, that was unexpected. But, their three's were going in, and ours weren't. Believe Kitts is more important than previously imagined. She has to be in their to provide support to Elsa. And with that entre, Elsa has a couple of 'back to the basket' moves, but has zero on 'facing the basket'. Other than a screen for a guard coming across, would like to see her fake a handoff, and while the person guarding Elsa takes a step towards the cutter, have Elsa wheel and drive toward the hoop. Of course, she's gotta be closer to the free throw line than the halfcourt line. And Hobbs doesn't seem to have the skillset to block out, and or turn and put up a mid-range jumper either. A look at the box score, rebounds, will show that.

2027 MI WR Dakota Guerrant (Verbal Offer)

calibuck
Am guessing that until the Oregon benefactor passes, Oregon will be a player in the NIL game. Maybe he leaves a ton of cash in a trust to be doled out as necessary to secure Oregon players? Wouldn't be surprised. Anyway, always seems like Oregon gets 'close' but never has that impetus to get over the top. Will be watching to see how many of these 'NIL babies' transfer when they don't get the minutes they want/need.

Holy crap does Peacock fucking suck. The quality of this feed is awful, and it’s so dark they look like they’re playing in a basement. The Cavs channel or whatever it is locally is 10,000 times better.

It’s possible you were watching I’m 4K which can result in a “darker” picture depending on your TV settings. Per Google AI:

Your 4K TV is dark because of settings like Energy Saving, HDR (High Dynamic Range)'s intended dark scenes, Picture Modes (Cinema/Filmmaker), backlight settings, or the content itself, but you can fix it by adjusting backlight/brightness, disabling eco modes, using brighter picture presets (like Vivid), or ensuring your HDMI cable supports HDR. Sometimes, a TV's hardware simply can't reproduce HDR's full brightness range, making content seem murky

Oregon is viewed as the early favorites for him and Dan Lemming and the Ducks have been doing their best job at keeping him out West. Especially knowing that losing him could result in him going to fellow Big Ten schools USC, Washington or Ohio State, who appears to be Oregon’s biggest competition for Molden right now.

Ohio State has been recruiting Whitley for some time now and officially offered him in June. He will likely schedule official visits with all five of his finalists but until then, no school will likely separate itself from the pack. If there is a favorite, home-state school LSU may be have a slight edge, but it is minimal at most.
