Guess he's another 'bullet' in the reloading process!

Sooo, does Kal-El have super powers?

All other things (NIL) being equal, I like our chances. Looks like we'll need another IOL....

Great game and beautiful day on campus. Sayin is just ridiculous. Unbelievable how many deep balls connected but he’s just on point with every throw. JJ’s catch on the tipped ball was a cheat code. The camera crew trolled Knowles at the end of the game. Really nothing to complain about other than can we get Penn States punter. 8-0 again. Unbelievable how many times we’ve been 8-0 the past 25 years. Great to be a Buckeye.

Fuck their punter. We got the guy Day wants (the guy behind the guy has a bigger leg too).

Again if the punter now wasn't doing exactly what Day wanted, he wouldn't be the punter.

Not sure. Let me ask our Auburn experts.

Just a few thoughts....

Not much to say about the Buckeye offense – the run game is still soft and the pass game is still elite, as it should be with Sayin, Smith, and Tate leading the way.

The Buckeye defense held Penn State to 200 total yards and 3.3 yards per play, had four sacks and an interception, and forced six punts....

Yet they allowed Penn State to convert on 8 of 15 third downs (.533), including 3rd-and-9, 3rd-and-10, and 3rd-and-15.

Time of possession was almost dead even: 30:07 for Ohio State, 29:53 for Penn State.

The Buckeyes have now beaten the preseason #1 and #2 teams ... and they've still played nobody.

Bama beat pre season #13 South Carolina though...

From Draft Kings as a proxy for the popular opinion:

Was surprised on outcome. Didn't really think that tOSU would cover the spread. After the PSU two TDs, was virtually certain. And their step-in QB did very passably in place of Allar. Anyway, the Buckeyes stepped up, tightened the screws, so all is well. Great showing by both the D and O, with stars a-glittering on both sides of the ball. Don't see how the Committee cannot place the Buckeyes at #1 on Tuesday, but have been surprised before. And, not a popular thought, but believe that Indiana had a better win at Oregon, versus a win at home, against a disappointing Texas. However, believe both will win out, and tee it up in the B10 championship. May the Best Buckeye win!

Ok, it was reported that the family chose not to sue. Likely that was because ND, or a booster and/or insurance company on their behalf, reached a quiet settlement together with a tight nondisclosure agreement.

I remember a couple of interviews of the family at the time and they were very vocal about not wanting to sue the school/church so I have never seen an NDA where a pissed off participant actually goes out of their way to speak on the counter parties behalf. You 100% want people to not speak/do interviews/say anything at all just because you never know what they might say by accident or how it could come out.

I'll just say they struck me as believers

The fine wasn’t even that massive. Maybe $77,500 was the maximum fine OSHA could hand down, but it’s essentially nothing for Notre Dame. The family chose not to sue, so ND and Kelly got off nearly scot-free.

“IOSHA fined Notre Dame $77,500 for six safety violations tied to Sullivan's death, including knowingly putting its employees in an unsafe situation.”

You're absolutely right, but ND is all that's left of South Bend. Maybe if more pople had bought Studebakers...

And they STILL put up almost 500 yards of offense against a top-25 defense. If they can get the o-line playing better, watch the fuck out.

This week would be a good week to try to build some confidence in the run game, Purdue run D is awful (107th in YPG allowed)

Will Smith can’t stop winning World Series.

Think about the depth of your talent when you have a Wil Smith catching and is about the ~4/5th weapon on your team.

It's this scenario we just saw. One superstar has a terrible series (Betts) one is getting older and was so/so (Freeman) but still won a game for you so some of these other "role players" have their moment to step up. When Wil Smith is sort of your answer to a "role player" you are so damn good you win back to back World Series.

I don't like it for the Reds but I sure as hell respect what they have built. Making it even worse, other than Max Muncy, none of them really piss me off. Most are likeable guys. Freddy Freeman is a HOF guy as well as player. Pure class and grace.

I wish I could hate them more.

Hire Tubervill. Or Kelly. Or the Ghost of Sid Gillman,

How are the BP recruiting gurus feeling about this class, especially the RBs?

Just wait. You'll see

Overall I was satisfied after the first playcall.

Every ingredient was there to invite Day and his past OC's into the phone booth. Today we threw on the first play of the game and kept throwing enough to make them feel us.

It's the THTGDB offense and when you have Sayin, Smith and the rest no one can handle it.

No one.

Why we keep asking for other team's punters? I'm content with never needing any punter.

Yeah on the ticker they just stated OSU has beaten Penn State 9 straight times (all time high).

At this point, even they know this is just OSU clocking in and out for the week. It's as worthy of a mention as what I took for lunch Wednesday.
