2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

Devils advocate: may indicate that Scum has kind of an inkling of what may come down, and find it acceptable. Which may be not getting their natty stripped.

Also, it is Balas who is worthless.

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

I guess this is kind of the bare minimum I need to see to be satisfied (and it is harsh because FUCK THEIR CHEATING ASSES):

- Removal of all recognition of their 2021-2023 seasons to include wins, the fugazi B1G championships, and their fugazi NC*
- 3 year postseason ban

- Significant recruiting restrictions
- 1 year suspension & show cause for Sniffles.
- Suspensions for any coaches involved in the scheme with show causes for any coach that was evasive or that outright mislead the NCAA
- Lifetime ban for Stalions.
- Significant fines & enhanced oversight on their program by the NCAA
- Thorough/aggressive public reprimand from the NCAA detailing their transgressions with names named.
- Kneel before Zod Day.

That, to me, would be as close to the "death penalty" as we will see in modern times. Now, will that impact their program as severely as we want? In today's CFB, I'm not sure. It will definitely hurt. But today's CFB with NIL isn't what it was 10 years ago. They may very well still be able to attract top recruits and field competent teams because money talks. CFB isn't about pride and pageantry like it used to be. Most top recruits look at it as a lucrative job now. If their donors still fork out $$$, they'll probably still get recruits. Where it will likely hurt the most would be their ability to attract top-flight coaches and their ability to put depth around any star player(s) they sign.
Just sayin': The first 2 really need to happen.

And who do we think is Diebs using to bang this young man under the bucket, in order to get him ready for the rigors of the B10? It's gotta be happening, as well as the strength coach working on lower body strength to withstand the pounding a person takes. Still not certain I see the stud power forward to share the rebounding burden, or maybe sending the small forward into the fray as well. Would be a long time since have seen tOSU send three guys to the boards. Anyway, idle musings on a Friday. Guess we'll see soon enough. Will be visiting daughter in C'bus in mid-December to mid-January, so will hope to get to a game or three to see in person. Also the 2025 version of the women's team....Go Bucks!!
With the roster as-is, Brandon Noel is likely the starting PF. I actually see Ojianwuna starting at the 5, if he is healthy.

Ryan Day admits what the challenge is that Ohio State is facing with the Texas Longhorns right around the corner

We are now less than six weeks away from the Ohio State Buckeyes opening their season by hosting Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns.

The Buckeyes are coming off a National Championship win over Notre Dame—a magical run that also included a victory over Texas.

This year’s team, however, will look quite a bit different. Ohio State is replacing a significant amount of talent that departed for the NFL—14 players were drafted, and the Buckeyes have upwards of 16 starters to replace.

Head coach Ryan Day recently opened up about one of the challenges facing the program

A program like Ohio State reloads year after year thanks to elite recruiting and savvy use of the transfer portal. Player development is at an all-time high, and the program is in great shape. Still, Day acknowledged that replacing leadership has been a challenge.

“It’s been going good. The guys have been working really hard this summer,” Day said via The Bobby Carpenter Show. “And I think that the biggest challenge has been the leadership—figuring out who the guys are that are going to step up. When you look at last year’s team, there are guys returning like Caleb Downs and Sonny Styles—guys who have been in some leadership roles in the past—but a lot of players now have to step into more prominent roles in that area.”

I feel like it’s been a good couple of months leading up to it. As you know, when (strength coach Mickey Marotti) gets to work with these guys, that’s really when the team bonds and forges together. So we know that August is going to be a huge month—and it’s right around the corner.”

Fortunately for Ohio State, they return star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith for his second season and standout safety Caleb Downs for his third. Arguably two of the best players in college football, their presence will certainly help ease the transition.

Other key returners like Sonny Styles, Carnell Tate, Davison Igbinosun, Caden Curry, and Kenyatta Jackson have been in the program long enough to emerge as team leaders as well.
