And in other tennis news today was the draw for the 2027 national indoor Championships
Buckeyes are set to host the first two rounds. The reputation for home court advantage was evident as the first team to select the OSU bracket was #52 Charlotte

Just sayin': It is interesting to see some B1G teams actually passed, like Cheese, Corn, and U of Nike..... :lol:


Just sayin': Ohio State will lose at least 2 key players (Jack Anthrop and Alexander Bernard). Obviously Mathew Forbes the transfer from Sparty will play.
Palavestra, a blue-chip recruit from Lake Worth, Florida, will join the Buckeyes in the Spring of 2026 while Petak, a native of the Czech Republic, will join the roster in the Fall of 2026.
It has been reported that Denis Petak and Ilija Palavestra are incoming recruits for 2026/2027. Do either of these guys have a shot at significant playing time this coming season?

Also, is this guy still coming in 2027?

Neal Shipley (PGA Golf Pro)

Neal Shipley shot a 71 (+1) and is tied for 29th after the first round of the US Open. The course was damp and played a little easier today. Note, the last time the US Open was played at Shinnecock (in 2018), the cut line was +8 and Brooks Koepka won it at +1 (281). In 2004 Retief Goosen won the US Open at Shinnecock with a score of -4 (276) and the cut line was+6. This is a really tough golf course.

“Hot” Takes?

For the average student, college is becoming less necessary by the day.
Agreed.

Its actually becoming a liability
I wouldn't go that far. You might be right, though.

I have an engineering degree. It's opened a lot of doors for me. But to do what I actually do, a smart kid with a high school degree can learn it. Or, if you want someone who has had some training, I could probably set up a curriculum that takes no more than 4 semesters. And that's including classes like, "How to use Microsoft Excel" and "How to write an effective email that makes it seem like you aren't an idiot."

Is it really that bad to work in construction, or go to a trade school and learn a skill? Be a plumber? Electrician?

:lol:

Maybe they have zero illusions because they are growing up in a world where Big Mac costs $8 and they can do math.
I left the nest in the 1980's and the possibilities seemed endless. To be fair, kids today are fucked unless they have strong support from their parents or an incredible gift.

I was giving a coworker a ride and she asked me to go through the McDonald's drive-thru. She got a Big Mac, $7.59 and tiny. Gez Z, the generation that has zero illusion of ever leaving home or owning anything orders Uber Eats fast food every day for lunch. Stupidity is keeping fast food alive.
