Not sure if this already got posted here but of course the only real hype that Underwood got this spring was from a play that 99.9% of the time would absolutely not work in a real game. Spin pass 2.0

(Notice how the hype crowd ignores that the defense had basically had stopped trying by the time this happened because it was basically a sack too lol)

This is exactly what happens when you just hand a 17/18 year old kid everything without making them even slightly have to earn it. 12 million dollars and touted as "unquestionably the man!" And a starting job with nobody in sight who could even hope to slightly push him. scUM especially is a even more terrible place for this because of their overtly sunshine pumping media and fans.....we were still seeing a ton of "we've never seen a freshman like this!" Fluff throughout the season after it was obvious he was struggling.

Lets just take a minute to remember, one of the key traits of a scUM man is believing that making it to scUM is the pinnacle of success.

Truly... name the last time they had someone willing to work his ass off? I can't think of anyone.

Its who they are.

Lol yes I was genuinely surprised at the level of "we might need to bench Underwood" talk being allowed to go on over there.

If Underwood had shown genuine progress throughout the year last year you could maybe write this off easily, but that's not the case

Back in 2017 I started experiencing some serious inflammation. My feet hurt all of the time, I was even double padding my shoes with Dr Scholl pads. My back hurt, my knees hurt, just about every joint hurt. This was the beginning of about a 3 year period where I went from being extremely fit to fit too fit even though I thought that I was eating well. I was heating a half chicken for lunch with a few corn tortillas and tomato salsa. Jiffy peanut butter was a big indulgence, I would eat a spoonful out of the jar. I also like hummus, I'd buy the "healthy" frozen pizzas and other frozen products from Sprouts. I bought "vegan" cookies and other treats from the bakery.... It took me a few years to realize that the chicken that I was eating every day was marinated in a seed oil and seasoned with an industrial salt, that really red shit, forget what it's called. Both peanut butter and hummus are loaded with seed oils. Those supposed healthy frozen products and still just highly processed shit with loads of chemicals. Needless to says those vegan brownies and cookies were seed oil/sugar bombs. I happen to cut sugar by chance and noticed that I started feeling better. I then started reading about seed oils, modified starches and other really bad shit they were putting into our food. I eventually parred down my meals to a meat base with aromatics and some potatoes or rice. I indulge in tortillas too. My inflammation is gone, my feet never hurt, my gut health has improved dramatically. My next step is to eliminate the adult beverages. I don't eat too much fruit because I've found out that even organic fruit is gassed with a chemical called Stay Fresh which is petroleum based. It remains in the fruit and it's really nasty. The only way to ensure that you're eating fresh is to grow your own produce and by meat local from trusted ranchers. The scam in the meat industry is that to be certified grass fed beef it only has to eat grass for 6 weeks. These meat producers but young cows that are feed corn powder and antibiotics, take them to a barn and feed them grass for 6 weeks and presto, you have grass finished beef.

Was looking at standings earlier and amazingly OSU was in 6th place in B1G. Purdue is actually having a pretty good year too

Yea Purdue has been the best team outside of the west coast group.

If we had even just somewhat close to average pitching we'd probably be right there too

That's what the arm-chair experts on Facebook are saying, eh? Guess so

Mike80 said:

I'm not as concerned about the offensive line. A couple big cogs were missing and early on, defense is ALWAYS ahead of the offense...and this defense looks better than the one last year did at that.

Offensive growth and putting together a cohesive unit is the least of my worries with this coaching staff.

If Sayin is really going to add the running game to his arsenal, it's absolutely on.

I just watched it. Holy hell he's awful.

There are high schoolers taking their first varsity snaps that are better.

The big red flag with Underwood still remains that he seems to just not care and act like all is good when he personally plays bad or when the team is doing bad. Guys on the sideline acting like he just got to Disney world after winning the Superbowl having a grand old time regardless to what's going on in the real world on the field, this was seen a lot last year and continued today when he stumbled over himself in this spring game in front of the crowd and TV audience.

Yes, that is the one. The skillset, motor and mindset have me really high on Boyd.

And great captures, @jwinslow!

For sure. The Buckeyes had no reliable depth this past season, and now - in theory - they will have a quality backup in the backcourt and frontcourt both now. I doubt Jimmie will be starting most of the games unless there's some unforeseen personnel loss, but he's a guy they can plug and play at a couple different spots if necessary without a huge drop-off. Jimmie has a solid all-around game with no obvious weaknesses. If you compare him to Taison Chatman, you'd like to think that's a real upgrade, as Chatman didn't do anything well other than shoot (which he really only did well against bad defenses).

Yea I'm confident in saying that Williams is a big step up from anyone we had coming off the bench last year.

Having both Jelavic and Ivan now is for sure a better situation for the bigs off the bench too (hopefully Josh O stays healthy though)

Obviously Thornton is a lot to replace but I think the starting 5 this year is probably better equipped to play the type of ball that Diebler seems to want to play.

buckeyemania11 said:

Still think they need 2 more additions. Another 3 type and a bench PG.

Click to expand...

I don't know if the staff really wants a pure PG type, they seem to push for combo guards and want a "positionless" 5-out system. It's a bit difficult to say what direction they might go from here, as Williams can potentially play both of the roles they really needed - SF backup and G backup. At this point, they do only have one legit backup guard, so I would guess they will add another guard for depth purposes.

Boyd showed some hands today. One of his catches was out of bounds (barely), but nice to see the stickiness with the hands to go along with his route running. Going to be hard to deny that kid playing time.

This time it might be accurate. Because usually there's a big jump between year one and two.

To not achieve this would be rare indeed.
