Use the sad emoje as would prefer tOSU be ranked about 8 or 9, and let them surge toward the end. At #1, there's only one place to go.....so now we're on an 0-2 record. Somebody with a better memory than mine can probably research how many times tOSU won the Nati after being pegged as #1 going in. Other than the 1968 'Super Sophs' (and am not even certain about that). But cannot remember the Buckeyes ever going wire-to-wire. Seem to recall Miami doing it, maybe Oklahoma, and Nebraska, but the fog has descended on my gray matter am afraid. Go Bucks.

Was in the stands for the 1968 Rose Bowl. Didn't see it happening of course, but read later, when OJ ran for 80 yard TD, Woody grabbed Lou, and asked him how did OJ get 80? Lou responded, 'because that's all he needed'. Much faster than I have, and also read that Woody chuckled. He was a force in coaching. Also read that when he went to coach for a program, his contract read that he could be excused if the HC job became available, at ND or tOSU. So was very surprised when he ranted and railed against tOSU later in his life. Anyway, RIP Lou.

Long time priority S target Kenaz Sullivan locks in a spring visit for March 24, and an OV on June 12.

Bryce Woods is probably our top realistic target at Boundary CB. Ranked #130 overall by Rivals.

Lou had issues, but who doesn't. A lot of people would run through a brick wall for the guy (Jerome Bettis had a very nice tweet tribute today) so he had to have done some things right. RIP, he was certainly one of those larger-than-life figures that impacted a lot of people.

Kelsey Adams schedules an OV to OSU. Interesting.

Massive visits set up for priority DT Kasi Currie.
He will visit OSU on April 4, as well as an OV set up for May 29th.
This recruitment is purely going to come down to $. He’s the top DT on the board at both Oregon and Texas and other SEC schools are also pushing. As I noted in an earlier post, it certainly seems like we are willing to spend big at DT this cycle, and it’ll be fascinating to see which guy we decide to push our chips in on (similar to DJ Jacobs at Edge).

Kellen Wymer is now the #44 overall recruit in the 24/7 rankings. He's the #5 IOL. He's also now the #82 recruit in the 24/7 composite rankings.

McFarland fonged to Texas A&M. Hoping we can get Bowman and Benny Easter

Not gonna get too excited until see some dancing nanners....

Coaches like Mick do the same things that HCs do. They visit other programs, and see what's what. If they pick up one little thing, it's money well spent. Remember that tOSU had RBs etc run down a ramp with a parachute on their back, to increase footspeed. Novel, not even certain they do that anymore. Would bet that some of the Ohio schools send their S&C coaches to Columbus-town to learn at the feet of Coach Mick, and that he's happy to share what he does. Anyway, just my thought of the day.

Sounds like we were not in it at the end, so of course, I wonder why. JL is earning rep as a great recruiter and coach, so of course, with my S&G tinted glasses, wonder why we don't get them all.....

At the 1969 game as well. USC's Student Body right at end was the killer. Change outcome? Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the 1968 tOSU v Xichigan. Worst loss in my vast experience. Give us that win, and we win 3 Natti's. At least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I won't pretend I didn't make fun of the goofy things he said, or the way he mumbled when he said them. But the truth is that he said a lot of things way smarter than most of the other football talking heads. And I always forgave his love for Notre Dame. It showed he was human. Misguided, maybe, from my perspective. But still human.
RIP

McGuff will always get guards....his bigs talents are sorely lacking. Elsa is there because of her parents. Hobbs, dunno, but bet vcash she transfers. Kitts, agree, she's not back to her pre-injury form yet. We'll see in the B10's how they stack up. They seem to be a Jackel and Hyde type of team.

Yeah, don't see players pushing by him on a TO. Which is what you'd expect if they had lost confidence in him. There has been an uptick in intensity by the Buckeyes since the Iowa skunking. Would assume that Thornton has gotten on his soapbox in the closed lockeroom. Maybe not, but could see it happening other than a quiet shower and leaving. Anyway, nice to see. Wish Noel gets healthy, haven't really seen Puff do much, but better shooter than White. All in all, agree with the above, tOSU has improved more than a little since the beginning of the season. Which would expect. Great win against PSU, so hopefully carry forward against Indiana, and then two (?) wins in B10 championship ladder. That would (in my hopes) cement them into the Dance. Go Bucks!

Depends…if he’s gone to court and negotiated paying a bigger fine for no points on his license, the likely never. 94 sounds like a lot, but it’s within the “11-29 over” threshold that makes it a basic speeding ticket. I’m not defending it, just saying that as long as he isn’t over 100 or going 80 in a residential area…he’ll probably be able to keep doing it.

They updated it to 100/60 so nope. But really at some point someone should step in and say stop driving dude.

They'll most likely lose but these are sweet!

What I’m hearing is you love the ‘Boys and Texas BBQ.
You’re welcome.

I do love me some Tex-Mex food and anything BBQ except that road kill with vinegar they try and pass off as BBQ in the Carolinas.

I'll give Diebler credit again. Ped State sucks but we tend to have letdown games against them and that absolutely didn't even come close to happening this time. They came out and played with the same energy and drive they did against Purdue. Let's keep it up!
