SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

SEC RULE CHANGE #1 - I absolutely hate it.

Watch the video and tell me this makes sense.
Old BP football coaches, I’m sure you taught your offensive lineman to hold their butts still until the snap - one of the first things taught in football.
Doesn’t matter how the defense shifts, fakes a stunt, stands or drops down, you hold still.
Now that’s all gone.

You just know that coaches are going to teach their offensive lineman to jump as soon as they see a defensive opponent, shifting and resetting position (stemming).

Higher Ed. firings and resignations

What's interesting about the above comment is that indeed, most companies have the in-house expertise to solve the problem. Unfortunately, 'those in power', want an 'expert' to come in, recommend a path, and then exit the relationship. Fewer have the consultant stick around for the implementation (and few consultants want to be around when that happens). Have seen (and have been), the in-house person doing most of the work for the consultant, really giving them the nitty-gritty on the problem. The consultant then writes up the issues, lays out the game plan, and exits to their next gig. And you're absolutely correct, that way management can blame the consultant when the solution goes blooey (technical term). BCG, McKinsey, and a dwindling number of big consulting firms make outrageous sums doing this. Many of these players in the consulting firms do get hired (at VP level or better), to come on board and oversee the implementation of said solutions. Worked at a company (steel mill), where these fuzzy cheeked youngsters were telling the 30 year grizzled veterans 'how to' run their company. Obviously, this rankled the old-timers, and one offhandedly threw out a comment, 'well, we'll see what they say when they get a truckload of steel dropped on them'. Kinda chuckled at the time (I was the company-consultant liaison), but the more I thought about it, the more I believed it. Was hoping for a job offer from consultants, but my Ohio State MBA wasn't the Harvard, Stanford etc level to 'join the club'.

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

He's lying, and trying to further the "no competitive advantage" narrative. See, they were only slightly above .500 when he knew every play, no punishment needed.

Oh I know. There are just WAY better lies that could have been told. Not "we knew the play, but that somehow magically doesn't effect our run fits"

That's the equivalent of saying "Having sex doesn't mean I'm not a virgin"

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

Zurp
I'd like to propose a punishment for them:

1. Vacate the wins from 2021 to 2023.
2. Instead of post-season bans, *ichigan should have to provide 6 copies of their playbook: 4 to the other team, 1 to the TV crew, and 1 to the referees. These should be provided a minimum of 2 weeks before the game. Since no one supposedly knows who the referee crew will be ahead of time, they go to whoever schedules the referees. When he schedules a certain crew, he gives them the playbook. Next *ichigan will be required to announce their plays a minimum of 30 seconds prior to snapping the ball. Theoretically, the other team will have had enough time in 2 weeks to know the playbook well enough to know what calls to make against *ichigan's plays. I think I'd make it one nerd's job to memorize the playbook and we'd all have a plan on how to stop each play. That nerd would have the chance to sit in the booth with a buzzer to challenge plays he feels didn't match the call. And he gets infinity of these calls, until he gets 3 wrong, or 5 or something... pick a number. My point is that I want to see how many games they can win when the other team knows their plays. They claimed all this time that knowing the plays isn't a thing that matters. So let's let them prove it. Here's what might make them go for this: every win they get in the next 3 years gives them another win from 2021-2023. Which win do they get back? Rank the teams they beat by number of wins they got that season. The first win with these rules gets them the win over the team with the fewest number of wins. The next win gets them a win over the next team, and so on.
I'm guessing that they won't get half of their wins back.
After 3 years of this, stick a pineapple up their asses.

2025 tOSU Offense Discussion

Buckeneye
billmac91 said:
I'm probably an outlier on this, but I don't know....there were some struggles with Will last year as he adapted to a new system. Will also missed a lot of throws, or ball placement wasn't great. I think Day was willing to sacrifice an NFL QB arm in Kyle McCord for the intangibles Howard brought to the table. As fun as Will was, there's a reason he was a 6th rd pick.......

Sayin has had a year in the system, and seen how the engine is supposed to run. I think that's a big deal. I think Sayin views the game more like Day as a pocket QB, so there may not be as much early season growing pains, IMO. I think Sayin is going to get the ball out quick and be pretty sharp.....may be some growing pains at times, but I think we should remember even Will had struggles last year.

I was one of the early nit-pickers on Will.

See here.

Post in thread 'QB1 Will Howard (National Champion, Pittsburgh Steelers)' https://buckeyeplanet.com/forum/thr...mpion-pittsburgh-steelers.678897/post-3773635


And his early problems showed up once the Bucks hit big 10 play as predicted. Tossing INTs against 6 of 9 B1G opponents, a pick six against Penn State and 2 against scUM.


Even with his first snap, Will had 2+ years of game starting experience over Sayin'.
You are correct that Justin had a full season to learn the offensive structure, language and time to begin building chemistry with his pass catchers and Oline.

I suppose I correlate the current QB situation to a certain phrase - "knowledge is when information meets experience"

Sayin has a ton of information I'm sure the coaching staff is preparing him to use. But he will not cultivate wisdom without starting experience.

Much like Howard did, I expect some early struggles. Although for different reasons.
