I don't know about necessary but it's getting harder and harder to justify the ROI.

Payoff at the end (realistic job/salaries) doesn't warrant the expense of the degree.

Unless a kid is in that bubble of child of elite class-->going to elite U -->where they recruit for the elite six figure jobs right out of school then a "normal" kid is better off getting the degree (especially undergrad) as cheaply as possible. The name on the certificate means nothing.

That area must drain really well. If that happened here in the desert we'd be underwater

oh it’s flooding there too.
areas that have never flooded before are inundated.

i’m not familiar with that part of the state, but know it’s right around where 3 major rivers intersect.
all 3 are likely high as fuck already before this rainfall.

You can’t fix stupid and there are is a lot of stupid right now

I hope he gets to meet almost every former OSU great WR, let them all come back and meet him: Carter, Holmes, Galloway, Gonzo, Devin Smith, Curtis Samuel, Jalin Marshall, etc. Show him how much of a family OSU really is

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.....


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 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.

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?

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.
