2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

Look at the pairings, and am a tad scared with either one tOSU will face. Guess it's more not paying attention to other teams, other than those in the B10 other than now. Each and every game on out from here will be more like tOSU v Xichigan than not. Guess have to let the coaches spend time in the tape room, watching the opponent's games, in order to formulate/foment D and O gameplans. Hopefully the loss to IU will light the fires that burn in the hearts of players/coaches like last year's team. Go Bucks!

My favorite dumb saying is “Either they’re as good as I think they are, or they’re not”.

I have zero doubt that OSU wanted to win and played their ass off against Indiana. If that was anything more than their C game, though, then they’re definitely not as good as I thought.

There have to be a few tweaks they can work into the passing game to make it less predictable.

My only concern is how mentally locked in Brian Hartline will be coaching the offense. And with time split at two programs, I'm not optimistic.

I wonder if him staying with the team gives the players a morale boost but his USF obligations allow for Day and whoever else to do a lot more game planning. The best of both worlds.

That’s not to say he’s a bad play designer or caller, but they need better of both to get back to the title game and win it.

OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

Watched tOSU v Northwestern. Got kinda confused, thought Tilly was the #5, with Noel as the #4. Great combo under the boards. But Tilly must still be injured (?), because Noel played at the #5, and did well. Guess, tOSU went small, because the other big, Croatian(?), stayed on the pine, and Devin seemed to be hanging down low. Didn't see Taisman in at all. And that Diebs had shortened his bench for conference games. Am I missing something, or what?
Tilly is a finesse player and I think that hurt them vs pitt so they might have been just trying somthing different
