Well, guess we could sign more Mormon kids....and when they go on their two-year missions, come back more buffed out...joking folks, just joking.

Will watch to see whether the 'wanna be a Buckeye' idea lasts past Coach Mick's winter training. And when one starts jacking weights next to someone who's competing for your position. Plus who's ahead of you on the two-deep. All sorts of 'what-ifs' abound. Yeah, do hope that this class stays relatively intact. For whatever reason, don't believe tOSU will be going after many 'projects' as normally do, probably more wanting to harvest from the portal. Noticed there was a fair amount of Ohio players that both left, and were in the mix to come back to Ohio...Also believe that a couple of classes were gutted by the portal, which leaves a vaccuum to be filled, hopefully by this year's recruits. Lastly, if one recruits based on NIL, then that recruit will be swayed by some other team illegally contacting a player for more cash/playing time etc.

Any NFL franchise that would even consider hiring a guy who has a 16-21 record coaching major college football as their head coach deserves to fold. It's easy to say "no way" when nobody is ever going to ask.

Smiled at your comments Jwin...lived in SF for 14 years, and was awestruck by the architecture downtown and in some of the near-in areas. Of course, some of the more 'elegant' areas had the better lines to the houses, and in the avenues, still had some, but more were cookie cutter type of houses. (Little boxes on the hillside reference South SF), and were just that, as seen from the 101. Anyway, the prices of those little boxes has skyrocketed as well, and the ethnic eateries most anywhere, usually run by those from other lands, are almost always good. If they're not, then they don't last very long....PS, from SF, moved to Dallas, where was all steel/chrome and glass. Not much architectural diversity.

One thing about these difficult rebuilding seasons under Rohlik is that he always has the team showing real improvement late in the season, and then they come out strong the next year. If history is any predictor, we'll be picked to finish last in the B1G next year yet will end up making the tournament.

Vonn was an idiot to attempt this. Sometimes, one just has to know when to walk the fuck away.

Will state that am impressed that Elsa has grown from last to this year. Still hasn't got that 'mean streak' in her, but she's trying. Hobbs can give her a blow, but uncomfortable with Hobbs in during a comeback etc. Kitts seems to 'fill in the cracks' well on the glass. Don't know who's the bigs coach, but wish they'd work with Elsa on facing the basket. Other than the occasional 3, when she faces, she doesn't drive. Hey, if she's on the free throw line, pop one or two, so the D big doesn't sag in the middle. (Took me more than a few years to do that, but my back to the basket game was pretty solid)....

Sweep, Baby! That's 11 in a row for the team. Both teams down their five best players, so it was an even match.

Ohio State isn't just a football powerhouse. It's also fueling Olympic hockey.

Twelve current or former Buckeyes are playing in the women's tournament in Milan. For their coach, "it’s going to be tough to choose who I’m cheering for."

Wow, what great publicity for the program. Build that woman her god dawned arena, Slapshot.

I’m too lazy to go find it, but curious the game splits of Mitchell and Harden on court together?

Probably hard to implement Game 1, but there should really never be a scenario in a game where one of them is off the court…..in a competitive game.

If the money is right Deion will take flight.

Figured it would be a weird first game, but didn't expect them to need a come-from-behind win. Apparently Harden wasn't even allowed to participate in a practice before the game due to league rules for completion of the trade. He could watch and listen, but that was it. Hopefully we will see continuous improvement from here forward.

Biennial rant about how shitty the NBC coverage is. Announcers can’t muster even the slightest bit of excitement for non-Americans. Cutting away from coverage of an event before it’s done.

I just cant get into these for some reason, hard enuf just cuz its the winter ones .
Oh well bring on the super bowl

Tight ends seems a little steep or no? I could probably be convinced but I’m a little off with that grade. I thought the group was super consistent throughout the season and was more on the B or B+ side of things unless run blocking scores just wrecked them?

Kid is football fast too. I've seen him run guys down on defense that he had no business being close too.

BTW some of these run measurements were done when he was 190lbs+ - the speed will follow him as he puts on more muscle.

Kind of sounds like a Parris Campbell to me, is that a good comparison? I sure hope so for our sake.

I was screaming at the TV as soon as he got the takedown. I told my wife Ryan heard me and decided to challenge. She very emphatically stated she didn't think so. She's such a Negative Nancy

Kind of infuriating he even had to throw the brick, but refs are humans and they got it right. Really great roll we're on, hopefully our guys that are banged up enjoy the golden singlets and are ready for the gauntlet once the PSU dual is over.

Wow. Have to give him props Harden took over in the 4th and won this game. Definitely need more Defense but they can score 130 per game imo.

If the defense was supposed to be better…it isn’t.
