I’m enjoying the fuck out of it. Let me tell you why. No KC/Mahomes. No Hurts/Eagles. High profile Buckeyes. Solid strategy between offense and defenseIs it? I got the "is this great defense of just bad offense" battle going on. I guess at least it's not a blowout
I'd like to know where Jim Tressel is right now!

Helluva game so far
He's giving way too much credit to advertisers.advertisers will come to their senses and realize that spending enormous sums “for 30 seconds of (mostly ignored) exposure is a bad investment.”
This is more plausible. I think we already see it in CFB with the changes of the past few seasons.The second requires more teasing out, but to put it simply: Horse racing receded from the American imagination, he writes, because people lost their close everyday connection to horses. Something similar will happen to football. We are already losing our organic connection to it.
I’ll give you that.Maybe. But I think it's the NFL's joke on us.
Occasionally.When Thad had good teams playing good opponents, the crowds were good
I'm talking about the Thad five to sullinger years. It was alright at best from a support perspective.. It's hard to quantify how the arena deadened the crowd, but I think that matters in this analysis. He scheduled like 10 guarantee games every season, so naturally fans got tired of seeing non-competitive gimme Ws, but at the end Thad wasn't winning so why would you expect the fans to keep showing up?
LOL @ easily tempted due to lack of winning. If they have even an ounce of self-awareness, they will be able to notice our last transfers Meechie, Bradshaw and Stewart did not move to more winning programs. I don't think any of these guys would be able to start for a program that is much more successful than OSU this season.
Yeah, replacing Bruce is going to suck, but for now the hope is that a transfer who's worthy of being a starter will notice there is an opening for a starter at guard. I can't see them not adding another starting-caliber guard.
Sad thing is, I can't even get upset enough to get to that place. We're going on, what? Year eleven, twelve of irrelevance? The Diebler hire signaled to be the AD is fine with a mediocre product. The football program reels in money hand over fist, for whatever reason the powers that be just don't want to invest in the basketball program. Until they do, why should most of us care?

Yea Thompson is a very high level HS recruit but even if he performs at a high level that won't be enough to carry the whole team. Replacing Bruce is going to be a near impossible task unless they get lucky.
Other guys who have eligibility left may be easily tempted to move on to elsewhere as well due to the lack of winning here.

Which question, why will people spend? I think the issue is partly OSU being the problem last year (and Diebler being new a problem his first year), so that's part of why I have some hope for next season being different. I suspect more money could have been there for Diebler to spend last year but OSU got in the way due to compliance concerns - how much more is probably enough to upgrade some areas, not saying they'd be a B1G contender, but they should have had more contributors.
That's spot-on. We had Roddy Gayle starting for us all season his sophomore year. He's been coming off the bench at UM all season and didn't start part of last season, either. He averaged 13.5 ppg his last year at OSU, then after the transfer he's averaged 9.8 and now 8.3 ppg. He averaged 30 minutes his sophomore year with OSU, 26 last season, and now 21. Meechie, Bradshaw and Stewart all transferred and any statistical "improvement" they've made is because they are on teams nowhere near an at-large (i.e., far worse than OSU was last year). Okpara is providing similar stats at Tennessee as he did at OSU, 6.6 ppg this season in about 2 more minutes per than he played his sophomore year. If we're being honest, other than Bruce, none of these guys would be leaders elsewhere.If Diebler had May’s NIL resources, we may not be a top 5 team but we would be a top 15 team.
How many Buckeye’s would be starting on May’s roster today?
@BB73 ’s mom flushed it down the toilet as a guppy thinking it was dead.
He’s got that crazy ass ‘tard strength.I will go to my grave wanting to have thrown Harbaugh's cheating ass out of a helicopter while yelling, "who's got it better than you, Jim."
