and so goes the story of "dead ringer" ... from Victorian "safety coffins."
As the legend goes, people terrified of being accidentally buried alive were buried with a string tied to their wrist that led to a bell on the surface; if they woke up, they would ring the bell and be dug up

I believe the phrase "saved by the bell" started with that practice as well.

NCAA's 5-for-5 Eligibility Rule

ScriptOhio

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signs order letting state's 2022 athletes play in 2026-27​

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed an executive order Tuesday giving the state's colleges and universities the option of allowing athletes who graduated from high school in 2022 to play a fifth year in defiance of the NCAA's new eligibility rule.

"When the rules change, fairness has to remain part of the equation," DeWine said in a statement. "We want Ohio's student-athletes to have the same opportunity as student-athletes in other states."

Under the order, public and private universities in Ohio can allow athletes to play even though the NCAA's new guidance excludes those who have already played four seasons.

In a letter to the NCAA's member schools, the governing body's president, Charlie Baker, said Tuesday that DeWine "cannot legislate NCAA eligibility rules."

"One elected official seeking to make their own rules for their own schools' advantage is a terrible way to run athletic competitions," Baker said, while also pushing Congress to pass the Protect College Sports Act, a sweeping bill aiming to institute guardrails around how colleges pay their players and what those players can and cannot go to court to fight.

There was no immediate response from the NCAA or any of the eight Division I programs in Ohio, which includes No. 4 Ohio State of the Big Ten, Cincinnati of the Big 12 and six schools in the Mid-American Conference.

"It's important we do not deprive our current student-athletes of the same opportunities enjoyed by their peers," said Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel, a former coach who won national championships at both Ohio State and FCS-level Youngstown State.

With the Ohio executive order, more litigation seems likely.

The judges also asked both attorneys if they should delay their decision to see whether Congress passes the Protect College Sports Act, a bill that made it through the Senate last month that would limit these sorts of lawsuits in the future.

The bill would not preempt active lawsuits, and both attorneys urged the court not to wait, with Shelquist reminding the judges of the narrow window for this group of players who left high school in 2022, with this school year's football season halfway over and basketball season about to begin.

WR Chris Henry Jr. (Official Thread)

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this. Every time I see 11 and 15 on the field, they are blocking their asses off. Refreshingly so.

That's why they're seeing the field so often as frosh. You don't play WR here until you block and both CHJ and Boyd sure seem to get that. I used to be kind of dismissive of how we require WRs to block, but it truly can be the difference between a decent play and a TD. Glad to see CHJ is no prima donna, he's earning his PT.

so I get 6.5 early in the season. I get 6.5 thus week for the rambling wreck over Puke. PLUS you owe me 3 for correctly picking ole Miss vs “lsu” which looks like Isu forcing me to wonder wtf thinks Iowa State should be favored over Ol Miss. so, because of your cheesy font makes LSU look like Isuzu, I get screwed out of 3 more points. So you and the lead paint chip eating elitist pricks that run this scam cheat me out of three points and don’t give me my 6.5 for this week it’s elder abuse and I’m going to take this to my Congressman..

Tampas lineup really isn't scary at all. Caminero can take you deep but he's very exploitable as we have seen a decent amount already this series.

We really cannot afford the give them free runs though. Especially on nights when our offense isn't on.

We'll be rocking at the jake Thursday. I'm going to enjoy it

I mean to win the alcs or ws you just gotta be .571.

The most important thing I have learned in these 2 games is basically they're not better than us and we're the ones that stile a game not them.
