“Quincy Porter (is a) big, tall receiver, just like me,” Smith said in April. “Came in, kept his head down, just working. I’m happy to see his future at Ohio State. Probably gonna be the next one up, for sure.”

I'll never forgive Sparty for not just canceling that game. They were given the option, but chose to keep the money from their biggest home game of the year. Had they opted out, it would have starkly highlighted the national narrative of what tcun had been up to, forced the B1G and NCAA and the neworks to act much more quickly and maybe put a halt to tcun's "championship" run. Fuckin' Spartards can never be counted on when it matters.

Totally agreed and maybe stops other teams from playing them too. They had the chance to maybe end their season but took the money.

Anonymous Coaches' Comments on Ohio State in Athlon Sports CFB Magazine“

ear in and year out, this is the most talented program in the league and one of the most talented in the nation. The question every season is just if they can arrange that talent the right way.”

“Whoever wins the quarterback battle has one of the best receiver rooms in the country.”

“The defense is stocked; defensive tackle might be their question mark, but they’re going to dominate in league play.”

“The resilience of [Ryan] Day and his staff is really, really remarkable. I don’t think they get enough credit from the public for how they managed the playoff run after losing to Michigan. The calls for his job were absolutely ludicrous. Do they need to beat Michigan? Yeah, sure. But this program is at the very top of the sport because of the head coach.”

Seems like they’ve gone with a statue for every person he hired who sexually assaulted his players

To steer this thread back onto the tracks…

Day inherited a good staff and most of his hires have been stellar. Seems to be a good fit as a 21st century culture-setting CEO type coach

Reds starters are bad ass. The bullpen is just ASS.

This fucking Pagan needs to find Jesus. He sucks donkey balls

Has Kitts signed her LOI? Read about the verbal, but also that 'has not signed LOI'. And neither tOSU nor Kitts has confirmed much of anything, I believe......hurry, I'm standing on the ledge here...

I think that is what the "commitment" means from the transfer portal. They don't go through the signing day type stuff that a high school recruit does they just formally commit from the transfer portal. I havent seen anything that would insinuate she had any problems transferring her credits and what not to tOSU so I'm assuming it's signe, sealed and hopefully delivered.

What I was initially wondering is if the McGuff crap was a new hurdle towards the transfers but I'm hoping that having the potential coaches that are already on the staff makes that a moot point. Hopefully

Hm. That's an interesting point. I wonder if more dominoes would have fallen. Who did they play the next week? Would they have also cancelled? I figured that the Big Ten forced State to play the game because of the money involved. I didn't think about the idea that maybe the state government would have been involved.

I'm pretty sure LOI's don't exist anymore aren't they now financial agrrements? Also did they ever exist for transfers?

Good stuff Cinci

Elly getting it done today all over the place. About damn time! 5-1 Reds

Reds keep getting the leadoff man on which is outstanding they just have to learn how to capitalize like the Cubs do.

Oh hell that was a fantastic bunt single by Espinal. That kid has been impressive.

Up 3-1 after 4.

That was a smooth ass pick off by Abbott. How about some fucking runs now?

calibuck said:

Was thinking along those lines as well. OK, get an offer, check. Make a commitment, check. Now start taking visits to see how can leverage one's worth, to be checked. Of course, Florida can always pull his offer, if they get someone higher on their DL list, no?

The verbal offer and verbal acceptance have always been worth the paper they are written on.
In today's climate the written offer and acceptance are both pretty much worth the paper the verbals are written on.

You are always pretty safe assuming they will lose.

Plan your day according and sometimes be pleasantly surprised they win.

Yeah, I've probably watched about 10% this year. Last night I tuned in when it was 6-2 Reds and the Cubs had 2 runners on in the 7th. Then the Espinal error, etc... D'oh!
