Bowling Green Falcons (Official Thread)

Buckeye legend Eddie George welcomes a Harbaugh to Bowling Green

The rivalry between Michigan and Ohio State runs so deep that it almost feels unnatural to see a Wolverine and a Buckeye exchanging pleasantries. But that was the case last week as Ohio State legend Eddie George (now the head coach at Bowling Green) welcomed Jack Harbaugh to take in a Falcons practice. Although many of the Maize and Blue faithful recognize Jack as a Michigan Man, his college playing and coaching career has plenty of roots in the state of Ohio.

As a player, Jack was a halfback at Bowling Green from 1957-60. Following his playing days, he became an assistant coach at various high schools throughout Ohio before joining the staff at Bowling Green as an assistant in 1968. Given that history, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that George recently welcomed Harbaugh to campus with open arms.

Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Sorry - it's been a while since I've had my fix of Penn State fans feeling entitled to something they don't really deserve.


Thread is about whether Penn State wins the national championship in 2025. OP says he's optimistic about 2025.
Some responses:



But here's the one that made me want to comment:

See, the championship teams don't put their faith in the referees. Championship teams win despite players getting ejected for targeting against Nebraska, even though the league comes out later and says that that decision has been reversed. Championship teams win despite interceptions that are reversed because a defensive player breaks an NFL rule (not an NCAA rule) against Tennessee. Championship teams win despite interceptions ARE NOT reversed because the official doesn't call DPI against Tennessee. Championship teams score touchdowns when they have first-and-goal at home, against Ohio State. Or they score more than 0 offensive touchdowns.
Of course, Ohio State didn't do the things championship teams do against Oregon (Round 1) or against the cheaters, but Ohio State did the things championship teams do in the tournament. "Relying on the officials" wasn't one of the requirements.
As I said during that whole run, we did it DESPITE the officials.

2024-2025 College Basketball General Discussion

IU was probably the most disappointing team in the B1G, considering the rumors they paid out over $10 million for that team last year, going over the top to get everyone they wanted in the transfer portal. Paying all that money, getting the cream of the crop in the portal, being expected to be a contender in the B1G and still missing the big dance is a disaster. That shouldn't overshadow the poor job Steve Pikiell did at Rutgers. If you look at the latest mock drafts, two of the top-3 players in some of them are Rutgers freshmen Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey. How bad of a coach are you if you have two of the top-3 talents in college basketball, a preseason top-25 type team, and you're 11th in the B1G? You have to say Steve Pikiell is inept at building a roster, to have two excellent players and a complete inability to mold a competent cast around them, and he's been at Rutgers since 2016, so he's had plenty of time to learn about the B1G and the level of players you need in order to win.

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

According to Jon Rothstein, OSU has pulled out of the Battle 4 Atlantis for 2025. The 2025 Battle 4 Atlantis field (Colorado St, WKU, Wichita St, St Mary's, VCU, South Florida, Vandy and Virginia Tech) is one of the weakest in event history now, as teams are flocking to the Players Era and similar events which help contribute to NIL for the programs. OSU is expected to participate in a Players Era type event instead.
