Watching this a again, in the first minute two things stand out. First is the San Fernando valley of the 1970's. So perfectly captured here. Second is watching Matthau open his beer and discard something. It took me a second to remember, pull tab cans. Those disappeared shortly afterward,

In fairness, OSU offered to push this years matchup to Sunday evening since NFL isn’t playing yet and it’s a holiday weekend.

Texas declined and said they’d prefer the original date/time.

I agree in general though….OSU shouldn’t be beholden to Saturday noon games in every top 5 matchup.

Julian Sayin will set records, and 3 other bold 2025 Ohio State football predictions​

With the Ohio State football season just three weeks away, we give you some bold predictions for the 2025 season.

The Ohio State football team will start its season in just three weeks. Coming off a national championship, they are expecting to compete for a national title again his year. The coaches think so, and they have them ranked as the second-best team in the country.

As we get closer to the season opener against Texas, we will give you some bold predictions. We'll start with Julian Sayin, who is the projected starting quarterback for the Buckeyes this season.

1. Julian Sayin will set the Ohio State single-season touchdown passing record

No one in Ohio State football history was more prolific at throwing touchdowns than Dwayne Haskins back in 2018. He threw for 50 touchdowns in his only season as the starting quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Sayin is going to throw for more touchdowns than that.

2. Jeremiah Smith will win the Heisman Trophy​

Only two other wide receivers have won the Heisman Trophy. Ryan Day coached against one of them in the 2020 national championship, as he watched Devonta Smith torch his defense. Smith is arguably more talented than Smith, and he's just a sophomore.

3. The Ohio State football team finally ends the losing streak to TTUN​

After unlocking a more aggressive play style on offense in the College Football Playoff, Day knows what needs to be done. He will no longer be stubborn and try to win the rushing battle in The Game. He will make sure that Sayin spreads the ball out to the incredible playmakers he has on the outside.

4. Ohio State will win back-to-back national championships​

This team might not have a lot of momentum on the recruiting trail, but the current roster is still one of the most talented rosters in all of college football. Defensively, there might be some issues early on in the season as Matt Patricia tries to adjust to the college game.

Once that early trial period is over, Caleb Downs and the rest of the Buckeyes are going to figure out how to slow down opposing offenses. Smith won't be stopped, and Ohio State will hoist the championship trophy for the second straight year.

How new defensive coach Josh Boyer will help the Ohio State football team​

The Ohio State football team hired a new defensive coach. Here's how he will help them.

It's certainly strange for the Buckeyes to make a hire just three weeks before they take on the Longhorns in the first game of the season, but this move is only additive. He won't have that much say in the defense, and he will only help coach the team a little harder.

Boyer has a history with Patricia, as he coached with Patricia for several years while he was with the Patriots. He hasn't coached since 2022, which is a big concern. That's why it's good that he shouldn't have a say in how the defense is called this season.

With the new rules allowing college teams to hire as many coaches to be on the sidelines as they want, this move can only be positive for the Buckeyes. They are expecting him to just help with the secondary, as well as coaching up defensive players to be better.

This is a low-risk, high-reward move to make, even if the Buckeyes hired him just a few weeks before they open up the 2025 season. They feel like they should still be very good on the defensive side of the ball, even without Boyer. He will only help that cause.

I was on board until you said Abita. I've had 3 or 4 of their beers, and they all tasted like the water was pulled straight out of the Bayou, unfilterd.

just came by to say ... I hate fox so damn much, I hate the b1g so damn much and I fucking hate our AD for not fucking pushing harder to get out of these god forsaken noon (11am in God's Timezone) .... noon is the time when you play MAC teams and the shit tiers of other conferences... not your 3 biggest games...of the year (except SCUM because thats tradition but hey fuck tradition at this point, cause its all dead) it might be better that CFB is trending towards AAA NFL league... maybe then I wont care as much

Nice win over Indianapolis today. Reds needed everything they had and pulled it out in the end. Hey Elly, stop fucking swinging at everything with 2 strikes, ffs. He needs a sign from the 3rd base coach to not swing. Or think a little bit and have an eye. Grow some patience. Maybe hold up a sign that says, "This next pitch will be 2 feet outside, so lay off!" They don't seem to do that anymore, though - give signs from 3rd base, I mean.
