Jersey / Uniform Discussion (OSU)

It appears Ohio State will officially have a jersey sponsor this season.

Many fans are speculating it could be Chase Bank.
Yeah you can see the chase bank symbol in white on the right upper chest.

Of all brands it’s a solid logo for our team. But it would have been badass to have Roosters or something local as the sponsor lol

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

So at the trade deadline lets step back and contemplate just how truly fucked this organization is.

The 26 man MLB roster has 5-6 legit good players to build on as a core. Greene, Burns and Abbott make a quality top 3. Good as anyone. Position players you have Elly, Sal Stewart and maybe JJ Bleday. So call it 6. The rest are not going to help you win. A good team may be able to carry a Steer but he isn't making a bad team better.

So where does the help come from? How do you build out the other 20 or so spots on the MLB roster that need upgraded? The minors are barren, everyone has been promoted. Anyone that could be any good is below AA except for 3 guys; The catcher at AA, Duno, is a legit stud. The other two are AAA outfielders (Rodriguez and Jorge).

Now, here is the easiest scouting set up in the world-the Reds MLB OF options all suck balls and yet these two "prospects" haven't seen even a whiff of a rumor of being called up. I'm no Sherlock Holmes but I am going to deduce that these two suck balls as well. More likely, they REALLY suck balls and the organization knows it.

So we still need talent and when we go to the minor league cupboard we are Old Mother Hubbard. Where else do you go to acquire talent in MLB? Free Agents and trades.
-Free Agents; once you stop laughing just move on. I simply mentioned the theoretical existence of them to be thorough.
-So then trade for it; except...who the fuck you going to trade? We have 6 guys and we have no farm system.

An MLB roster devoid of talent, a barren farm system and never any money for free agents. This is why there should be relegation in MLB. If you run a team this poorly for this long you should be stripped of ownership.

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

I think we all agree that not putting more on Sayin as the year progressed cost us in the playoffs?

No doubt. The question is that because Day/Hartline just didn't coach him up well enough or is it because Day knew what he was doing and kept the training wheels on, purposfully?

I have a lot of faith in Day the OC/QB coach so I lean to the side of; he knew the kid just wasn't ready so let's dumb it way down on offense and lean on the best defense on earth.

They came within 10 points of a NC on that strategy if my guess is even close.

2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

He would've gotten us closer for the FG after Stroud took Day's turtle time offense in his own hands and scrambled into game winning territory.
We have no clue if he would’ve gotten the offense any closer. OSU didnt lose solely because of a RB. And honestly OSU nor UGA had much of a run game going and OSU was on RB3 at that point

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

I can definitely see the view the analyst sees where he's partially successful because of what he has to throw to. I thought Justin Fields was going to be a good to great QB in the NFL.....his game just looked perfect for it. Sometimes that doesn't show up in the NFL, and the obvious question is "how did it work SO WELL in college but not at all in the pros?"

IF Sayin is just throwing to a first or maybe second read, that would translate to failure in the NFL. We saw it last year where sometimes players would be open down field and he would throw underneath.

He's obviously accurate as hell. He mostly makes really good decisions. None of us know if he's reading defenses at an elite level or just throwing to players who are likely going to be open about 90+% of the time. I really hope it's the first option.
