"We Choose to Go To The Moon!"

Okay, I agree with all three statements.
I just think Millennials would be more effective than Gen Z. I mean... that's not saying much.
Also, my faith in Gen X is dwindling. As a younger Gen X'er (I think it tends to include people born up to about 1980, and I was born in 1976), I'm no spring chicken. And I think I spend more time today complaining about younger generations being worse than my generation than actually proving it.
But... I'd still go with your comment that we're doing the heavy lifting.
It all began when we decided water was better from a plastic bottle than a hose baking in the summer sun.

Cincinnati Bengals (Same Ole Bengals)

Flacco is going to be needed, as don't read where the Bengals have strengthened their Oline. Or maybe Joe's workout includes running backwards, and changing directions several times (to simulate side-stepping tacklers).
I'm not really sure what to do with the OL. For starters, I think our OL coaching is below average (saying that nicely). We have a mix of veterans and younger guys the jury is out on, but no consistent stalwart type. Defense has gotta be the priority in the draft and not sure we want to go OL with our first two picks...wouldn't be against it depending on who is available, but I just don't see it happening. So Joe is probably banking on scrambling for his life yet again this season.

2027 IN WR Monshun Sales (Verbal Offer)

Texas has one 1000 yard receiver in the NFL. In history.
Roy WIlliams, who was the much worse Cowboy with that name. The better one was from Oklahoma. Texas Roy had a career about like Jeff Graham. Respectable, solid career that does not make it on an award wall, but also not a flash in the pan.

14 Buckeyes have had a 1000 yd season:
Warfield, Carter, Graham, Galloway, Glenn, Boston, Holmes, Hartline, Thomas, McLaurin, Harrison, Wilson, Olave, Njigba.

and will be adding Egbuka, Tate, Smith to that list before or during Monshun's first year on campus.


Chris sanders, Bob Shaw + Curtis Samuel missed it by a couple of yards.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

Feels like they’ll end up with a 7 player main rotation. Get one more 2/3 position player then fill out with low NIL players. Depth beyond 7 would require some surprising player development.

They'd be totally screwed if they stopped where they are right now. The have no guards on the bench currently besides Myles Herro and Braylen Nash, if those guys are having to play meaningful minutes it would be a very long season. They are going to add probably 3 more guys, you'd hope at least 1 is a guy who can play good minutes at the 2/3 when called upon

What are you currently watching on TV?

Just watched How I Met Your Mother for the first time (I know it started like 20 years ago but I didn't see it until now). First episode incorporated the Ickey Shuffle and kept my interest piqued until I starting enjoying it a few episodes in. Lined up exactly with my age in those years, and could relate to many of the scenes. Binged through all 9 seasons. Main character routinely wore an Ohio State shirt. Barney character executed fantastically by Neil Patrick Harris. I could never get into Friends after giving it many chances, but I really enjoyed this show.

DE Mike Vrabel (All B1G, All American, All Pro, Super Bowl Champ, NFL HC of Year, HC New England Patriots)

I'm willing to bet that many people on this board have either participated, or come damn close to participating, in many of the moral behaviors discussed. I think the problem arises when people put sports people on a pedestal and then expect them to act according to the moral compass that they think people on that pedestal should follow. I want to be clear...Vrabel's behavior suggests that he does not interpret the importance of several values in the same way as many people here do...and further that he is going down a path that will lead ultimately to some serious issues in his life. If this is true, it will probably affect his performance as a coach, at least for a period of time.

We know what wins in the end, almost all of the time.

I think the problem arises when people do selfish shit like cheat on their spouses. Yeah, I guess he doesn't "interpret the importance of the value" of breaking his wedding vow to his wife as being on his moral compass. The bending over backwards to make excuses for him is embarrassing

For the record, I don't give a shit about his personal life. But I'm not going to act like he's some kind of victim or doesn't deserve ridicule just because he was a Buckeye
