Lou Holtz (Longtime CFB HC, R.I.P.)

Was in the stands for the 1968 Rose Bowl. Didn't see it happening of course, but read later, when OJ ran for 80 yard TD, Woody grabbed Lou, and asked him how did OJ get 80? Lou responded, 'because that's all he needed'. Much faster than I have, and also read that Woody chuckled. He was a force in coaching. Also read that when he went to coach for a program, his contract read that he could be excused if the HC job became available, at ND or tOSU. So was very surprised when he ranted and railed against tOSU later in his life. Anyway, RIP Lou.

2027 CA DL Kasi Currie (Verbal Offer)

Massive visits set up for priority DT Kasi Currie.
He will visit OSU on April 4, as well as an OV set up for May 29th.

This recruitment is purely going to come down to $. He’s the top DT on the board at both Oregon and Texas and other SEC schools are also pushing. As I noted in an earlier post, it certainly seems like we are willing to spend big at DT this cycle, and it’ll be fascinating to see which guy we decide to push our chips in on (similar to DJ Jacobs at Edge).

2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Coaches like Mick do the same things that HCs do. They visit other programs, and see what's what. If they pick up one little thing, it's money well spent. Remember that tOSU had RBs etc run down a ramp with a parachute on their back, to increase footspeed. Novel, not even certain they do that anymore. Would bet that some of the Ohio schools send their S&C coaches to Columbus-town to learn at the feet of Coach Mick, and that he's happy to share what he does. Anyway, just my thought of the day.

I won't pretend I didn't make fun of the goofy things he said, or the way he mumbled when he said them. But the truth is that he said a lot of things way smarter than most of the other football talking heads. And I always forgave his love for Notre Dame. It showed he was human. Misguided, maybe, from my perspective. But still human.
RIP

Jake Diebler (Head Coach)

Yeah, don't see players pushing by him on a TO. Which is what you'd expect if they had lost confidence in him. There has been an uptick in intensity by the Buckeyes since the Iowa skunking. Would assume that Thornton has gotten on his soapbox in the closed lockeroom. Maybe not, but could see it happening other than a quiet shower and leaving. Anyway, nice to see. Wish Noel gets healthy, haven't really seen Puff do much, but better shooter than White. All in all, agree with the above, tOSU has improved more than a little since the beginning of the season. Which would expect. Great win against PSU, so hopefully carry forward against Indiana, and then two (?) wins in B10 championship ladder. That would (in my hopes) cement them into the Dance. Go Bucks!

Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

Depends…if he’s gone to court and negotiated paying a bigger fine for no points on his license, the likely never. 94 sounds like a lot, but it’s within the “11-29 over” threshold that makes it a basic speeding ticket. I’m not defending it, just saying that as long as he isn’t over 100 or going 80 in a residential area…he’ll probably be able to keep doing it.
They updated it to 100/60 so nope. But really at some point someone should step in and say stop driving dude.
