Well, this is the drawback with bringing in a million 5star qbs. Between Utah, Dakota, Air, Just and TSC at least 1 was transferring. Now 2. Not much experience coming back next year.

Now we only have Just and TSC. Like someone said, that's life in today's CFB.

It's a Wayne ST - Ohio St. battle imo

Comparison (to date) of the 2024 Ohio State Buckeyes with the 2001 Miami Hurricanes, often considered to be the most talented CFB team of all time. Several Buckeyes from the 2024 team (Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin, Kenyatta Jackson, Brandon Inniss, et al) will be eligible for the 2027 NFL draft, so I will update this comparison next year.


To recap, in three drafts the 2001 Miami Hurricanes had 28 selections including 15 in the first round.

In two drafts with a third pending, the 2024 Ohio State Buckeyes have 23 selections including 8 in the first round.

Yeah, seems like he was a good egg, but got lost in the depth sheet. One of those Buckeyes that had talent, but got recruited over. Made a good decision to go somewhere to get some PT, and looks like it paid off. Wonder if he's being 'claimed' as a Buckeye (3 TEs in draft!), a la Joe Burrow as a Buckeye QB....?

His mom died and he transferred back home

Believe so. These NFL guys don't miss too much, and the late rounds can sometimes be stretches (firmly believe that the 'hidden gems' are all scooped up by that time), so why not take a cheap guy that has local roots. Backup material, but did play at a highly ranked school, and did all right. Depth piece for sure, but with what, 53 players, better be of more use than a scout team player....

Went on golf cruise to Australia/New Zealand for seven rounds of golf. OK, some courses good, one was dog meat, and others were marvelous. Anyway, wifey and daughter wanted me to buy a polo logoed. Sure. Well, on the next to last (one of the better courses), went to the racks to look for shirt or quarter zip. To my surprise, could spend $700 NZ (about $500 US), for quarter zip, and $300 for a polo. Decided didn't want one that badly. Anyway, a guy found the discount rack tucked away in another room, and everyone filled up. On last course, wind/rain so rough the flagsticks were standing at a 45 degree angle. 40 of the 60 decided 'no bueno'. Was talking to the asst pro, and he was lamenting the weather, told him to cheer up, pro shop did about $10,000 worth of business. Yes, bought a Kurai Cliffs polo for $125 US. Bet no one has one of these.....

Really like the fit for Iggy, he is the big physical corner that Buffalo wanted. I think he'll thrive there.

I hear you, but I wasn’t thinking banning them. I was thinking of how many people, other than Buckeye fans, would bother to watch The Game if Michigan spent 5 years as a team that won an average of two games per season, i.e. Indiana pre-Cignetti.

Nonsense. The world didn't stop spinning while they had Hoke and Rich Rod. This myth that CFB needs Michigan is tired.

I think we at BP grossly underestimate scUM’s TV/media drawing power. Hit the cheaters with a penalty equal to the crime and you lose a ton of eyeballs for four or five years. Think about the ratings for the IU v the buckeyes prior to Cignetti v the ratings with Cignetti.

The message that the NCAA sent was that if you cheat and you're a "cool" team, you can just open your checkbook and everything is cool.
Iowa contacted some guy who I can't even remember his name, and had to vacate some wins.
The cheaters did... well, you know... and they lose the revenue of probably less than one home game.
If you were told that Ohio State could double their chances of winning a championship in the next 5 years if they can raise 30 million, how long would it take for Ohio State fans to raise that 30M in a Go Fund Me? A weekend? Maybe less?

Who cares how many people watch it other than OSU fans? It would still be a highly watched game.

The Ohio State brand doesn’t need tsun to be good to draw eyeballs. We would draw them when we played some other good team or in the playoffs.

It’s been 20 some odd years of proving that things have changed and OSU doesn’t need tsun, or the B1G for that matter, to be particularly good in order for OSU to be at the top. We control our own fate on that.
