Mercer just dunking on Lakota now. 2 dunks and a put back layup (after poking Tyson in the eye). Santiago is hitting 3s for Princeton and they have shaved the deficit, score now 23-16 with 3 minutes left in the half.

Lakota's other top recruit, Curry, is missing a lot of shots.

18-5 Lakota after 1 quarter. Lakota ran out to an 18-0 lead, missed an open court dunk, and then Princeton scored the last 5 (with Mercer on the bench).

The Lovin' Spoonful doesn't get the credit that they deserve. Everyone knows Do You Believe in Magic and Summer in the City but they had a lot of really great songs

I might wear it, with Ord’s asterisk, to a Publix or Piggly Wiggly in Oxford, Knoxville, or Auburn if I felt like being a dick, but that’s about it.

I think there are two questions here: 1. Will he be successful? 2. Will he beat Ohio State?

It's hard not to be a success at Michigan. Why? Facilities, huge stadium, strong alumni program, loyal following, money, tradition.
You can scoff at the tradition part, but even if you go back to 1920 and compare its something like 64-57 in their favor. Those four losses '21-'24, cheating or not, still sit on the books.

Do I think Whittingham can survive 3 seasons? Yeah, because the rest of the Big Ten and the MAC schools that will make up his schedule all but assure him of a winning season and at least one 10 win season.

Do I think he'll beat Ohio State? Think of how fast this season's game could have been 14 - 0. It was still a game into the third quarter and not a sure thing until half way through the 4th. They will always be able to draw kids either from recruiting or the portal because of FSAFMT.

"successful" depends on what you define success as.

Their schedule's the next 2 years are quite a bit of a step up from the gifts they've gotten handed the last couple of years.

2026
Oklahoma
Iowa
Indiana
Penn State (think Campbell will have them at least decent)
@ Oregon
@ Ohio State

2027
@Texas
@Indiana
@Iowa
Oregon
Penn State
Ohio State

I think 9-3 is probably the ceiling in 26 & 27

2028 they get a break again in the conference schedule. They get Ohio State and USC and that's about it, the next "toughest" games are Nebraska and Washington.

I don't think Whittingham is going to be a Rich Rod level disaster, but I don't think it's going to be as great as a lot of the DFBIA thinks it's going to be. They probably won't tank to sub .500 levels, but they probably aren't going to be in "serious contender" territory.

You aren't being fair to the true story if you take "beat up on high school teams" out of context like that.

Full context: They beat up on high school teams who they literally just showed how to play the game, beat them, and counted the win.

Same thing they did to Notre Dame. Crazy that teaching football to the Catholics isn't even top 5 sins for tsun smh

Was watching the giant slalom prelims yesterday and whoo boy. That looked dangerous. Really into hockey this year. Watched a bunch of women's games. The Germans were committing war crimes against the Swedes.

Hoban planned on him playing both ways at rb and mike. He did exactly that.

Ted Ginn jr graduated at 19 in high school as did hundreds of other buckeyes. Worked out well for us in the past. No one’s list? Over 30 divisions 1 schools have offered including our Buckeyes.

So he’s a full year to year and 1/2 older than kids in his class. Got it. I don’t care either, but to state he’s not old for his class is a weird hill to die on. He will turn 20 during his freshman year football season. That is not normal. If he’s good enough to play at Ohio State, I don’t care what his age is just pointing out it’s moving the goal posts quite a bit on your end

Yeah, we all think it's a fun joke, but the joke is on us, because your statement isn't wrong.

The joke is on the NFL. It shows how ridiculous the Pro Bowl is. Just name an All Pro Team per conference and be done with it. If you want to have a Flag Football game as part of SB festivities have some NFL players coach a couple of worthy squads of high schoolers.

Hopefully the crowd will show up for this one. Weekend game, mid-day, vs the #2 team in the country (#1 in KenPom), team needing a big win badly, and a rivalry game. The high is projected to be 21 degrees Sunday, what else are people going to do?

Lol this is exactly what we would make fun of the SEC for doing (I'm sure they did something similar at some point)
