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.

Love OSU banning Dave Portnoy from their stadium.

With that said, there must be something real behind the ban and not petty rivalry stuff.

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.

The SEC hacks are pretending like Texas has some catastrophic talent advantage. Which of course is 109% false. All of this bravado comes across as wishful thinking because deep down they feel Texas is actually going to lose.

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.

Evidently, UC is getting 75% of the ticket revenue for agreeing to the move.

The game was initially scheduled to be played at Nippert in 2020, and rescheduled for 2025 due to covid. In October 2023, the game was moved to Lucas Oil Stadium. In December 2024, the game was moved again to Arrowhead Stadium.

It’s a real shame for the students/local businesses. It would have been a huge event in Clifton. UC students should demand their fees back. I’m guessing the impact on the local economy would have outweighed the extra revenue UC will realize from the move, but that’s not how businesses operate.
