Will calls it the best decision he ever made

I can see why

1) He experienced being the starting qb on a national championship run
2) He experienced the championship culture at Ohio state and made lifelong friends
3) He learned from great football minds before going to the league
4) He had the opportunity to apply that learning against good FBS defenses before things ramped up to NFL speed

What he gained here wasn’t just his development, but even if that were all he gained; it’s given him a much greater probability of a successful NFL career. Even if it hurt his draft stock, it was worth it career wise. (And you have to believe that NFL teams are complete idiots to think that they value a QB less after he’s spent a year with Day and Kelly)

I could do that, too if I was good at golf.

Charlie Woods cards 6-under 66 to win first career AJGA title​

Tiger Woods needs to make room on his trophy shelf for son Charlie's hardware.

The 16-year-old son of the 15-time major winner shot a 6-under 66 in the final round to win the American Junior Golf Association's Team TaylorMade Invitational at the Streamsong Resort Black Course on Wednesday.

Woods bested a 71-player field that included four of the top-five-ranked AJGA players for his first AJGA title in five events. His previous best AJGA finish was a tie for 25th at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in March. Woods entered this week's event ranked 606th in the latest AJGA rankings.

Woods, whose final round featured eight birdies and two bogeys, finished with a three-round score of 15-under 201. He closed with four straight pars to win the event by three strokes over fifth-ranked Luke Colton, Willie Gordon and Phillip Dunham.

When we lost to Iowa and Purdue, we weren't allowed to hide those terrible losses with a good overall record. Those losses eliminated us before the clock hit 00:00 in the 4th quarter. And probably rightfully so. They can get all the way fucked with this argument.

I believe that losing to Iowa was Ohio State's second loss that year. 2017? So that wasn't all that was factored into keeping Ohio State out that year.
But 2018, Purdue was Ohio State's only loss.

Wow

Thanks for going to all that effort

I may have lost the plot here… did you give them a point for losing to Tennessee?

Click to expand...

Yeah. What was I thinking? I don't know. The probably shouldn't have been a thing. But Tennessee was legitimately a playoff team, so they shouldn't lose a point for losing to Tennessee. But yeah, they shouldn't GET a point, either.

Was Alabama's schedule the toughest in the country, by any ranking? Was their schedule the toughest in the SEC? According to this website https://www.espn.com/college-football/fpi/_/view/resume they were neither. They were 17th in the country (7th in SEC) in strength of record (whatever the shit that means), and 20th (11th in SEC) in strength of schedule. That probably includes playoffs, because Ohio State was #1 and #2 in the country, and I didn't think they had that impressive of a schedule, going into the playoffs.

Mclain to this point looks like a AAAA player

Sad but true. And I really like McClain too and still think he has upside. He had a blunder in the field yesterday leading to the Royals' first run (because the ball slowly tipped off his glove into the outfield) on a grounder that would have been an easy double play for most MLB infielders to end the inning. Gets Hunter's pitch count and ERA up.

"the mechanical reaper could wipe out half the entry level harvesting jobs on farms across America in the next 5 years" Cyrus McCormick told Harper's in an 1850 interview.

Anyone else having trouble finding free WNBA games? Seems like all need a 'subscription' now, as in Pay-per-view. Enjoy the games, watch the Fever (Kelsey and Caitlyn), Atlanta (TT), and Sun (Jacy). Any thoughts let me know. Alexa seems to know where to find 'Ion', which I cannot seem to, but no way to Tvo it. Anyway, watched the Fever v Atlanta last night, and gotta say, the reffing still sucks. They're making alot of calls, got a kick of Griner giving the evil eye to the refs, who rightfully called her for moving screens. However, am watch traveling, offensive fouls, etc go on constantly. Back 'in the day', a player was allowed to hold their position, or even back up, and if offensive player ran into him/her, it was a charge. Now, if the player even blinks, let alone cross their arms in front of them to prevent injury, it's a block. Biggest thing, is that the players are not used to the 'new' calls being made, and are justifiably frustrated, as all they're doing is playing the way the refs have permitted.

Much as I want to see Michigan castrated, it leaves the Big Ten with 1.5 programs with a shot at a Natty. Maybe USC will recover. TV isn’t going to be excited by conference race between the Bucks and a neutered Michigan.

Run the big ten airplane into the ground as long as OSU misses the flight.

Could care less about the health of the big ten. When you screw up you should be punished.

And so goes the off-season...

lol....in what way do we do what the SEC wants? Like, we win natty's that the SEC wanted to win?

"Ohio State does what the SEC wants?"
Like, does Ohio State do what the SEC wants to do? That seems to be what BN27 said.
Or, does Ohio State do what the SEC wants Ohio State to do? "You get your butts out there and beat 2 of our teams, plus the team that beat our 3rd team, and win that championship!" Is that what the SEC wants?

I've said it probably a quarter of infinity times: I just don't understand that mindset. "We didn't win the championship, so I'll root for one of our opponents." I remember about 2009-2012 - Alabama won 3 championships and Auburn won 1. And fans were calling into the national radio shows bragging about how the state of Alabama won 4 straight championships. Or.. 2006 through 2012 - "The SEC won 7 straight championships!!!" While you and I laugh about how the SEC has now gone 2 years without a team in the championship game, I will never brag about how the Big Ten has won 2 straight. And it isn't so much a *ichigan thing (though a little of it is), because I wouldn't talk about Big Ten teams winning the championship if 2023 was Penn State or Illinois or Minnesota or anyone else. It's Ohio State or no one, for me. If Ohio State loses a playoff game, I MIGHT root for another big ten team in the championship game. But I might not. This "conference pride" stuff - that sounds like something Penn State fans would cry about.
