You very greatly underestimate how uncool I was at age 20.

A valid point. As uncool as you are, you've been getting progressively cooler every year you've been on BP. With the exception of 2013, if course.

Well they got him for a fifth, traded him for a fifth, and he never played, so…yay?

Hopefully that means they saw enough from one of the rookies to not need Pickett. I think they tried this move a few years ago when DTR looked good in the preseason so they traded the backup then Watson got hurt and DTR wasn't ready. It's probably more likely that Gabriel is ready to be an NFL QB than DTR was as a rookie. I feel like the main reason they drafted Gabriel was because he was an experienced high-floor type of player.

I assume the Reds got beat?

Love OSU banning Dave Portnoy from their stadium.

With that said, there must be something real behind the ban and not petty rivalry stuff. Desmond Howard is a troll and they have not
banned him.

Is this OSU's unstated feelings about signal gate being stated, another concern about the length he goes to troll or really just pettiness? Would love to know.

Fox and OSU is not a one way deal, we are allowed to have conditions.

Seems like this is either a late transfer since Kema just returned from his Mormon mission. 20yo, with 5yrs of eligibilty left. Oh, and he's a former HS Army All American

Excuse me?

So he’s a 20 year old freshman former all American?

Hey not a bad pickup.

Is it too early to turn on the heat? Asking for a friend.

Feels like fall with 50 and low dew point right now after the long warm stretch we have had here in OH.

I genuinely hope it is because of being petty. Fuck em'

Also depends on how long they make the playoffs. Teams may need extra depth for a 20 game season.

I still think 85 is more than enough…..the NFL has a 53 man active roster and practice squad of 7 players.

85 is plenty…..and in the new world where revenue sharing is upon them, I’m just not sure 105 makes sense.

Maybe 90-ish and then reward some walk-ons who don’t count towards the revenue sharing but get taken care of in other ways. Again, JMO.

Anyone saying that Texas has a talent advantage is either outright lying or ignorant. They are pretty close. If you look at national recruiting averages, Ohio State is above Texas by just one spot.

On a side note: eight of the past 11 national champs came out of the top 6 recruiting rankings. Sorry State Penn. Being ranked #14 is not cutting it.

Bottom line is both teams lost a lot. I believe I heard both teams have over 80% of their production to replace and both send over 12 players to the draft.

So it’s confusing why we hear that Texas is loaded on defense. How so? They lost half their damn defense. Texas offensive line returns a lot of players with reps. Cool I guess but they return 1 starters, lost their RT in camp, and their starting LT has a hand in a club now.

Just dumb the narrative around Texas.

I'm too lazy to go through this thread. What's the backstory to why Barstool is banned from the stadium? Not that I have any problem with the decision whatsoever.
