We Don't Deserve Dogs

NJ-Buckeye
My experience is.. the new pup senses things.. especially sadness and grief.. Just seems to know...
and makes themselves a key part of the therapy and recovery... they'll burrow their head into your hands and face if they feel your grief..
seen it many times already.. first hand

The grief is still there but so is the understanding you have a new one you are responsible for.. and if it's a puppy, the added emotion that you are its protector as well.. it's a baby. It all works as therapy.. cuz losing a pet is rough.. rougher than most folks know..

As to "now our dog is 5 years old. I have no idea what I'm going to do when she's gone.".. makes me remember that EXACT sensation... when my all-time fav was exactly 5, I dealt with the same emotion.. lost her at 12.. She will always be my fav... bad ass but very affectionate...

Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 20 Straight B1G Titles)

Merely a clarifying question if you please. In my experience, tennis (among other sports), has a 'ladder' system. Players play each other, etc, and a ladder is established, 1 through 6. To move up, one has to beat someone higher on said ladder. If the lower player wins, they replace that player, and the former place holder, goes down one, or goes to the place the challenger was. Seems to be the case in wrestling, swimming, orchestra, ?. thanks for clearing away the fog.

2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

RB07OSU
calibuck said:
Read that some reporter mentioned that Edmunds was 'very polished' during interviews, and guess that means he's saying all the right things about tOSU. Wish I was a fly on the wall when he was one-on-one with Day, and discussing the realities of tOSU side. But neither are talking. to my way of thinking, it'd be hard, knowing that Sayin is batter up, TSC is on deck, with Edmunds being in the hole behind him, and that Day will be looking to add a 5* QB in the next two recruiting seasons. But also do like that no mention of NIL in conversation.

While I fully expect TSC to turn into a stud, he's still in the heavy development stage to be sure. There's a real shot for Edmunds to come in and win the job when it comes down to him and TSC. Obviously I'd give the edge to TSC but Brady has a chance to compete at a top program and earn the spot.

Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

Not entirely certain how that improves things, only rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. If a kid is a wunderkind as a freshman, he's gonna play. If he can help the team, he's gonna play. How his eligibility is arranged, that's on the coaches. And the best players don't stay for their senior years anyway. Let me remind everyone that NCAA stands for No Consistency At All.

WR Brandon Inniss, Captain (All B1G, National Champion)

NJ-Buckeye
When the big three (Inniss, Tate and Smith) were all playing for SFE, a GREAT source told me he thought Inniss was the best
When they ask current SFE players to name their opinions of all-time SFE WRs.. Inniss is always mentioned
He's a team leader.. in the realm of Egbuka
He will always be there when you need someone to step up regardless of how extreme the situation
Hopefully Sayin keeps that in mind.. and doesn't obsess with Smith.. take what the defense gives you

Neal Shipley (PGA Golf Pro)

calibuck
Ah, bring back the days of 'Rabbit Mondays'. These were the qualifying rounds on Monday, with several (?) low rounds needed to qualify for the Thursday tournament rounds. Still looks (to me at least), better than the Conditional Status, where seems pretty subjective on who's in or not. Looks like Neil's destined for another year on the Korn Ferry tour. Keep plugging Neil.

LB Riley Pettijohn (Official Thread)

calibuck
There's been some great tOSU LB combinations over the years, and so the Arvell/Sonny might just be the best ever seen. Time will tell. tOSU D is predicated on having DL that eats up blockers, and that allows the LBs to roam and blitz. Plus, never underestimate the impact of great DB coverage, that forces the QB to stay in the pocket. Gotta have those other pieces of the puzzle as well.

ttun basketball (Dusty May out.......)

So what’s the point you are trying to make?

NBA coaching is harder, more risky? May is a dumbass for leaving college? No way he did this just to job hop, there has to be something else? I’m not following you.

I see a guy who has had success at every level, sees what, in his mind, is the “right” opening to go up one more level and took it. Nothing complicated or nefarious.

Who knows? Maybe there is a trunk full of dead hookers or something. Aside from the downside for the hookers, I’d love to see that.

I'm saying it's definitely a riskier move to go to the NBA than to stay in college, and that makes the long-term calculus financially risky. For Dusty May, he's now basically the coaching version of a "made man" so he will be able to land on his feet in college again after the seemingly inevitable firing 2-3 years from now. So the downside is he likely has to deal with being fired and uprooting his family twice, things he wouldn't have had to do at UM, and (after his presumed firing) he will probably end up with a lower salary in college than he would have had if he stayed at UM the whole time. I don't know how much Dallas is paying him, but he'd better be paid at least double his salary at UM or else it doesn't really add up financially at all.
