Fire Day!

Fuck my life

In the physical rehab facility when you get a roommate who yells out instead of pressing the call button and listens to the TV to loud up until 4 am (I don't really know how much longer this will go on). When will this guy go to sleep? I thought old guys went to bed early. I might have to shoot him.

I got this in an email today, says we are f'ed.

Lmao

We'll get the chance to close to gap against USC this year (Los Angeles) and next year (Columbus), and against Alabama in '27 (Columbus) and '28 (Tuscaloosa).

Nice list, Millwood. Growing up when I did, the Big Three opponents to face (not including ttun) are USC, Oklahoma, and Alabama.

You know, when you think about it, the real constraint here is the 4 year clock.

Quit tying the eligibility clock to the idea that these guys are going to school there and what could you do?

What if guys could play for 6-7 years? Longer? It would drive down prices for HS kids I can tell you that.

Just sayin': The NCAA is seriously considering changing the eligibility to a 5-in-5 clock. Athletes get five years to use their five seasons of competition, starting the academic year immediately after they turn 19 or graduate from high school, whichever happens first. The proposal removes the traditional "seasons of competition" limit and redshirt concepts, replacing them with a flat five-year, five-season limit. The only exceptions would be military service, religious missions, and pregnancy.

Optimistic Baker: New NCAA eligibility rules not retroactive​

"If you've used up your eligibility, you've used it up," Baker told ESPN of the tenor of the discussion of the Division I board of directors on Monday.

Baker added that he is "pretty optimistic" the new rules will pass. The age-based eligibility would give athletes five years to compete in Division I, starting immediately after their high school graduation or 19th birthday, whichever comes first.

The Division I board of directors on Monday directed the Division I cabinet to advance the proposal. The cabinet has been discussing the change and will have a meeting about it -- which could include a vote -- on May 22. "Their direction to the D-I cabinet is full speed ahead on figuring this out," Baker said.

Regarding the implementation, the NCAA said in a statement that the Division I board formally recommended Monday to "Maintain existing rules -- allowing four seasons of competition in five years of eligibility -- for student-athletes competing in the 2025-26 academic year; new rules are not expected to retroactively apply to student-athletes whose eligibility is or will be completed by the spring of 2026."

Baker added to ESPN regarding the implementation directive: "A lot of the coaches, in particular, said this would be enormously challenging in a lot of ways. And I completely understand where they are coming from. It would also be unfair to a lot of these kids who are going to be part of the new world and weren't part of the old world."

Baker expounded on his optimism: "I'm pretty optimistic it's going to happen. Mostly because the primary conversation hasn't been about the idea of an age-based eligibility model being controversial. A lot of people are familiar with it because they've dealt with it in other settings, and they understand the simplicity of it."

Though there has been discussion about different sports being affected differently, particularly college hockey, Baker said he doesn't foresee any sports having exceptions. "The age limit is going to be the age limit," he said. "That's going to be across the board."

B1G Football Programs as Star Wars Characters​

Today is the halfway point of the college football offseason. It's all downhill from here!

Despite being on the back nine of the abyss, the two slowest months on the college football calendar are this one and June, which means it's silly season for online engagement.

Ohio State has not yet announced when it will wear the uniforms, which it will pair with its standard home scarlet and away white uniforms. Ohio State is expected to bring the gray sleeve stripes back to all of its uniforms in 2026, a source told Eleven Warriors, though Monday’s announcement only confirmed that the gray sleeve stripes will be used on the all-black uniforms.

11W posted speculation today: Ohio State plays at Texas on Sept. 12, but that game will likely air at 7:30 p.m. on ABC, which controls the rights to that game as the SEC’s television partner since the Longhorns are the home team.

Ohio State’s Rivalry Game vs. Michigan Officially Set for Noon Kickoff on FOX Once Again​

Login to view embedded media
It will be FOX’s ninth straight broadcast of The Game dating back to 2017. FOX has broadcast the Ohio State vs. Michigan game every year except 2020, when The Game was canceled due to a COVID-19 outbreak at Michigan, since becoming the Big Ten’s primary television partner in 2017.

The Game routinely draws the largest audience of any game in the entire college football regular season, as it did last year, when 18.4 million people watched the Buckeyes’ 27-9 win over the Wolverines.

In a somewhat more surprising development, the other regular-season game FOX announced it will be airing this year wasn‘t Ohio State’s Big Ten Championship Game rematch with Indiana on Oct. 17 or its home game against Oregon on Nov. 7. Instead, FOX announced it will televise Michigan’s home game against Oklahoma on Sept. 12.

Ohio State plays at Texas on Sept. 12, but that game will likely air at 7:30 p.m. on ABC, which controls the rights to that game as the SEC’s television partner since the Longhorns are the home team.

Assuming FOX used one of its top three picks in this year’s Big Ten TV network draft to secure the rights to Michigan/Oklahoma, that likely means one of the Ohio State/Indiana or Ohio State/Oregon games will air on CBS and NBC. A home night game at the Shoe remains unlikely, however, because NBC has already announced it will air Notre Dame’s Nov. 7 game against Miami in its 7:30 p.m. time slot. As such, Ohio State vs. Oregon appears likely to be a 3:30 p.m. game on CBS, as it would be a surprise if FOX passed up the opportunity to air Buckeyes vs. Hoosiers, a matchup of college football’s last two national champions.

Ohio State vs. Michigan at noon is the first kickoff time to be officially announced for the Buckeyes’ 2026 season. TV networks and kickoff times for the first three weeks of the season are typically announced in May, so those details will likely be set for Ohio State’s non-conference games against Ball State (Sept. 5), Texas (Sept. 12) and Kent State (Sept. 19) later this month.

FOX also made it official on Monday that it will air the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 5. The 2026 Big Ten Championship Game was originally set to air on NBC, but FOX bought the game back last month, reportedly paying between $45-55 million to NBC while also giving NBC the rights to one additional Big Ten game this season.

If Mitchell has to sit 8 minutes in Detroit…they have zero chance. He has to play all game.

Way to limpdick the last 3 minutes with shitty offense and Idiotic turnovers. This team is dumb as fuck,

Nice win. Still skeptical…but fuck Detroit and fuck Michigan. See what happens.

Not yet…can’t say I’ve seen a team try and give one away like this for a while. Starters have to come back in

Looks like they…might…hang on to put some pressure on Detroit, because there’s zero way they want to come back here facing elimination
