Yes, he had a tie and sport coat on. I didn't see anywhere that he addressed why. My thought was to match Cronin since he seems to always where a coat and tie.

I saw it also and didn't hear why, but please don't let it be to emulate Cronin. I'd lose all respect for Diebler if he wanted to emulate Cronin and have to start a FIRE DIEBLER thread.

Nice, but I thought the problem as the O-line.

If development goes accordingly the OL should be pretty solid in 2026. It's all on Bowen to get that done.

Is there an offensive coordinator yet?

forever and always!

TL/DR - sec wants 16 team payoff starting this fall. BigTen wants it to move to 24 teams in three years. sec doesn’t want that so it can keep their conference championship game. And if BigTen and sec can’t agree by Friday it stays at 12 teams next season.

Too bad this game isn’t being played at the home stadium of the higher ranked team. Low teens for a high and real feel in single digits tonight in Indiana.

McDermott out in Buffalo. About time

Seattle hosts another game on Sunday
Denver hosts another game on Sunday

The Superbowl is in San Francisco (Santa Clara, to be precise).

Tip of the hat to our West Coast overlords. This is truly their year.

Do you not like the Bears QB or something?

Yeah, I’m kind of intrigued by what drives the Bear hate in here.

Yes, he had a tie and sport coat on. I didn't see anywhere that he addressed why. My thought was to match Cronin since he seems to always wear a coat and tie.

Just another tidbit. Teaching pro once told me to watch the women golfers, not the men. Why, because the men hit such outrageously long shots, both drives and irons, while the women hit more comparable shots to we non-professional golfers. Used to be true, but now the women are banging their drivers much longer (than me certainly), and their short games are simply top notch, versus mine....anyway, even the HS players hit the ball further than I do. Watched the US Open qualifier at our course, and these guys were hitting driver, five iron to the opening par 5, and their tee box was almost touching the back shrubs. In case you're wondering, I hit driver, 3 wood, and from a 7 to an 8 into the green, depending on the wind. Believe the low qualifier shot a 63 from the tips....

Couple nice body bag wins for the netsters. Just a thought, saw that had away games at Baylor and Penn St two days apart. Is there enough room on the Buckeye jet to accommodate all of the tennis players? Might be a more economical way to get from those to those in two days. Don't know if tOSU has a stretch Lear, or somesuch that can take a dozen or so folk.....

Just sitting here, wondering how come no 'blue bloods' are in his hunt?

Certainly he's going to be a large ticket item (NIL $), and there's going to be a flock of schools digging deep. Any interviews, etc to see where he stands?

Did I see Diebs in a suit for the UCLA game? Believe I did, rather than his pull-over. Is he going classy? Or am I missing something here?

Not great insight, but Tilly has to start hitting his shots, in order to draw out opposing big to guard him. Kinda basic stuff. If tOSU needs him to shoot three's, we're in a whole lot of trouble. Do enjoy his 'jump hook', of sorts, and is effective when he gets ball 3-4 feet away from basket. He is forcing their bigs to shield him off of the boards, allowing Bynum and Devin to swoop in and flush the ball.....Hopefully he stays healthy, and Noel comes back soon. Any word on Noel's 'foot injury'?

Certainly have zero knowledge of how Bynum plays in practice, but he sure let's it all hang out in games. His time as 'sixth man' was abbreviated, as Noel got injured, elevating him to starter. Well, don't believe he will be relegated to the bench when Noel heals up. And don't believe he deserves to be as well. See an energy in him that not readily apparent in the other front court players. Might be a lamppost for other Buckeye recruits, in that you play and make plays, you're gonna get more and more minutes...

I'm just glad Caleb Williams isn't a Inch from the super bowl because he had a strong enough arm to throw a prayer up and have a man somehow end up wide open.
