QB Tavien St. Clair (Official Thread)

So, TSC has to dig in and learn this year so that he’s able to process and execute. Hot and certainly debatable take: We won’t win it all with a QB like Sayin or Fahey. We don’t win 2024 with Sayin although he’s obviously a much better passer (except, again, for being blind to the middle) than Howard. I think to win another NC we need TSC performing as a reasonable facsimile of Sayin.

I’ve thought the same but landed on a willingly-mobile version of Julian or Luke would get it done. Willingly is key, if only to slow down defenders decision making because they have to consider it a real threat. Hoping we see some willingness in the B1G from QB1/2.

My eyes cross when I see gas alot lower than here, then look a tad harder and see that it's for a liter of gas - bit over a quart. Let alone the currency arbitrage you got going on Dubs. And certainly many of the motor vehicles are mopeds, etc that get 60 kilometers per gallon (don't know merely making a point). But the Hormuz thingy is going to play ping pong with the oil prices and hence stock market for a year or so.

Most people don't even have cars there. Everyone takes buses, the tube or occasionally a taxi. There's very little parking also. I remember when I used to take cabs, I'd always try to get in on the wrong side of the car if i was sitting in the front seat.

Every once in awhile when people start to question things and grow a bit concerned, the Buckeyes throw out a complete game and destroy an opponent and things quiet down again. Maybe it's the crispness in the air tonight but I have a feeling Saturday is one of those games and we smash Illinois by a lot.

I hope they save it for a better team.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

I think the PCSA is a poor proposal. The underlying principle is that athletes must allow Congress to bargain on their behalf because "trust me, bro we're fair" and that's it. It's ridiculous having athletes who finally got some bargaining power after decades of BS be forced to give it away to the very Congress that's being lobbied by powerful, big money universities and organizations. None of the problems that are being addressed requires this "solution" by any means.

Congress could create a special federal bargaining regime specifically for interstate collegiate athletics. There could be a players union similar to the pros, and they could have a CBA, a draft, and everything. Of course, they would provide the option for players to specify a list of schools (that they are academically qualified for) they would accept being drafted by so the player has some say in where they go to school. Let a professional college sports association negotiate with the players union about what percentage of revenue goes to non-revenue sports.

It's an absolute clinic/case study in real world fighting for money and power among elites.

We are watching the conferences, networks and politicians maneuver for control in real time.

They will divy up the real money, use the now fully bought and paid for NCAA as the enforcement tool and leave the athletes the crumbs before they can get any power as a group.

Watching them try and explain it as in the best interest of the players and the game is sickening. I used to have respect for Saban. He's just a con man now.

WR Marvin Harrison, Jr. (Silver Football, 2x Unanimous All-American, 2023 Biletnikoff winner, Heisman Finalist, Houston Texans)

billmac91
Anyone who trades for him will have to do some heavy investigative work to see what’s actually going on….is he getting to practice on time, being a good teammate, staying in shape, family & personal life, etc.

I wouldn’t condone it, but he may just want out. It was an awful landing spot and he was paired with a QB that probably couldn’t have been a worse fit for his style of play.

I’m still holding out hope he lands in an organization that can help him get his juice back….bc he’s a special talent. If I’m trading for him, one of prerequisites is that I have a stud veteran WR that can take him under their wing, like he had at tOSU his freshman year.

Another through is aligning him with one of his former teammates in a Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, or JSN….onsite the appetite those teams have at WR, but I think it could jumpstart him back into the elite dude we saw at OSU.

It’s not great, but if the Cardinals don’t value him and the price isn’t too high, I’d give him a shot. He showed work ethic through college at least and just might not be reacting well to a bad organization/situation. Get him on a team with a stronger culture and some leaders and maybe he can get his mojo back.

WNBA (Official Thread)

Have seen different scenarios, and Tuesday the announcers didn't make any sort of story about # of 20/game for Kelsey, so wife and I thought the streak had ended. Anyway, before our move, thought Kelsey had passed Aja for the record. Then see in print she's tied with Aja and two others for the # of 20 pt games in a row.....Soooo, anyone care to clear the fog from my eyes? And yeah, believe that the playoffs will be bunchs of fun. Minny seems to be loaded, very quietly obtaining the best W-L record. Saw Indiana pummel Lynx, but the Lynx starters were all on the pine, and Indiana kept their starters in. CC feasted, and Kelsey did Kelsey things all night. Appeared to us that Minnesota was resting their players, and Indiana was trying to secure a 4th place seed. Believe there's another Indiana game tonight?

She is the WNBA record holder for consecutive 20pt game in a row. That at least for a season might be overall now too. She passed Aja A few games back and has kept going

Yeah, and Cotie is a star in the making in the WNBA (?). Never did get the story why Cotie skedaddled. Apparently she was the undisputed star, and subsequently went in the draft. Happened upon a game of hers, and she did Cotie-like things, and the talking heads were drooling over her moves. Not enough basketballs on tOSU court?

She transferred to Ole Miss her senior season. Something about a medical condition and McGuff kinda didn't believe her or she wasn't supported when she went to get treatment? Something crappy like that
