Agreed, but we've known for a couple weeks. Birden instead of Kharch is a surprise though...

OPENING DAY!!!!!!

They might as well try to sign Castellanos. He isn't good but he also wouldn't be their worst outfielder

And the memes

I will help fund a trip for somebody wearing it to SEC media days, though

To add a quick scouting report on the Buckeyes opening round match…
SMU is playing on their home courts.
Their number one player is pro level and #1 ranked singles player in the ncaa.
Last year Bucks were upset in first round by underdog UCF.
other than those concerns, Bucks should roll over SMU and advance to the round of 8.

With the 5 game stretch starting Saturday I think they are gonna need a lot of help in terms of the other bubble teams losing, unless they can manage a couple of upsets. They probably need to go no worse than 2-3 in these 5 to keep the hope alive without a deep B1G tournament run.

They can't worry about what other teams do, but otherwise I agree. A 2-3 minimum in these next 5 games is critical. If you look at ESPN analytics, the Wisconsin home game is the only one OSU is expected to win, but even that one is dicey because Wisconsin has already won on the road at UM and Illinois, and of course OSU was unable to stop their offense in the first matchup. The Virginia game is the second-most likely according to ESPN, but that one could be tougher than meets the eye as well because OSU tends to be offense-heavy and defense-poor, and a matchup against a team like UVA who's defense-oriented and somewhat offensively challenged doesn't tend to work. I do think that they could have a chance in a couple of the other games but it's not looking good if I'm being perfectly honest.

They might as well try to sign Castellanos. He isn't good but he also wouldn't be their worst outfielder

Don't remind me. He cost me a fantasy baseball championship last year. Thought I got a steal. Jokes on me. Rat bastard

Yeah I’m gonn say it’s a bit more than the alcohol bottle

Ohio State picked up its 1st quad 1 win of the year today when Northwestern moved into the top 75 of the NET with its strong showing in the loss to Michigan though I am afraid this might be a short stay for them in the top 75 NET and the quad 1 win.

That said I can't imagine the win holds much weight since NW is 10 miles away from the bubble.

Today's bracketology, first team out.

If they don't get it together, they won't finish that good. The runs is energy and good decision making resembles a good team but they are far and few you many.

I really want Bruce to get to dance but it's not likely to happen.

Ohio State is now 3-1 vs the Pac 12

Fisher is getting a good amount of hype. You never know with freshmen but if he delivers that will go a long way in helping the team improvement.

I think the program is heading in a positive direction under Haire. Last year was brutal but I think it was going to be brutal no matter who the coach was. Don't think they make the NCAAs this year at all but I think we will see a noticeable improvement and year 3 could be a real breakthrough

He seems to have a type.

"Why would any SEC team agree to a challenging home-and-home with a Big Ten powerhouse when they’re already navigating what they believe to be the toughest conference schedule in college football a schedule the ESPiN FPI index has already determined that all 12 teams on their schedule are top 10, with 9 of them top 5?"
No reason to actually play a legitimate top program.

I think they should be forced to play B1G teams. What? With the additional opportunity for ‘quality losses’ by picking up an additional conference game? Someone needs to keep this SEC juggernaut in check. I mean hell, with all those quality losses, they are going to be demanding 8 teams make it to the playoffs.

I'm just hoping it's closer than expected.

Poor Paddy

Yowza. UGA brought in a freshman closer, popped one out, walked one to put runners at 1st and 2nd, 2 Out.

Seeing eye single to left with runners going and gunned down at the plate! Wow. Hell of a win for the Dawgs.
Corn brought in a faster runner to second just for that run too.

Bummer that Cannon won't be in the lineup, as that could have shifted the match to bonus points. Either way this is a position I didn't expect to be in at the start of the year, and excited to see how we do. Hoping Bouzakis avoided an injury scare.
