Not actually true, unfrotunately. The communications blackout was around 41 minutes and the full loop was around seven hours.

Forget it, he's rolling.

Was a good game, overall. Just like the semis, Denver did just enough to stick around, and then get that late push for the win.

It's like peak Tresselball and Hicks is Mike Nugent.

Looks like we're not losing any production to the portal. Three skaters who scored a total of four points and a backup goalie. The improvement and finish that this team showed the last third of the season and not losing key returnees to the portal has me pretty optimistic that we will challenge for the B1G title and an ncaa berth next year.

Might not be accurate much longer but the title on this forum page says 19 straight.

For those with a short-term memory (me), Gene Smith led the charge to concentrate funds on the 'Director's Cup' athletes. Don't really know how successful that strategy was, but if memory serves, tOSU has finished in the top 6 (?) pretty much all the time. Football has been in the top 5 for years now, and is the most expensive game in town. Well, there's no New York celebration for the 'winner' of Director's Cup, just a byline in the newspaper (probably below the fold) about the year-end standings. I don't even know if there's a trophy, traveling or not, that a school can/would keep. Or even where to display it! It is, however, a symbol of financial commitment to many aspects of college athletics. Why, Ohio State is able to compete successfully on these varied stages, but fail so woefully in basketball is a mystery to me. Do not believe that a multi-million dollar HC is the answer, or throwing out $25M at five athletes that have performed 'pretty well', and hope to meld together to win a Natty. Truly don't have an answer, but do firmly believe that tOSU could be doing better. Would welcome a 'happy middle' here. Forgive the Monday morning rant, but want to see tOSU get back to winning ways, and not a one-and-done championship, but a sustained presentation of accomplishment.

I don't think there is really one answer.

I think it's definitely clear that you have to spend money, but yea it also involves a lot of luck of players actually meshing well and avoiding injuries.

Kentucky, North Carolina and Indiana all spent a lot of money and didn't do dick with it for example.

Those are amazing numbers. Would that we could see what is like for tOSU, and/or other bigger schools. Thanks MPhillips.

What is tOSU, something like 13 in a row or somesuch?

Dunno, the way he hit the big stick yesterday, all day, seemed to be the best solution, until it wasn't. Not that I'm near that level, but if you've been doing it, why would you change. Playing if soft, or safely, means you are overthinking it, and have seen that crater more often than not. Golf is not a game where you can 'guide' the ball, you must put your best swing on it at all times. Anyway, he exhibited all day that he has all the shots, and some he made from the boonies were tremendous. Tip of the hat to Rory.

Came to this thread hoping to see he was cut. Another Monday disappointment

Ginn and Vrabel bad week for ex Bucks.
