Maybe so, but what's his arm length?

To me, doesn't look like he's carrying 290. If so, that would put the coach at around 325 or so.

Back in my day, there was one player, not good enough to play, that was utilized to use all five of their fouls to 'disrupt' the best player on the other team. Hatchet man, believe he was called. Not trying to hurt the player (?), but to bump, push, and otherwise disrupt their shots etc. Probably being mild as to what really happened. Appears like this has been carried forth in the WNBA. But if Sophie round houses a player, would believe it'd be a Flagrant 2.

Have read somewhere that good gardners talk to their plants. Maybe all the humming from the overhead lines could qualify? Good use of urban space...When did you say that LA will start burying their electrical/telephone wires?

As some of you may already know, my good friend Desmond like to wear what he calls a "satchel" (note what is in his left hand in the picture below).




He also wishes he was European and he likes limp, undercooked bacon (as do many of you here per the What You've Eaten... Lately thread). His affinity for wearing satchels is spreading apparently, as noted below from the front page of The Washington Post.

Link: It’s the summer of Purse Guys​

Men carrying purses, let’s be clear, doesn’t make a terribly meaningful statement about our societal norms; it doesn’t mean that everyone’s gender-fluid now or that the patriarchy has toppled. In many cases, all it means is that these megasuccessful guys would like you to know they have money, and you wouldn’t have to look far in any of the fields in which they work to find evidence that the patriarchy is alive and thriving.

Fast rising 2027 DL visiting for the Oregon game. Recent offers from Miami, Ole Miss, Alabama and LSU.

As far as guys behind them on the depth chart, Florida transfer Ja'Kobi Jackson saw steady work across all three practices with the top unit. He started his collegiate career at Coahoma Community College and Mississippi, playing three seasons there before spending three at Florida and then transferring to Ohio State in the winter for his seventh and final year of eligibility.

He worked primarily as a pass-catching back, fielding screen passes and then hauling in receptions in the flat as a check-down option, finding holes at times.

Besides the group listed above, Cincere Johnson has done positive things at middle linebacker, safety Simeon Caldwell briefly got some run with the ones on Saturday and the 6-foot-7, 320-pound frame of Sam Greer was certainly accurate.

Freshmen standing out​

In addition to Bey, the two names to keep an eye on are Henry Jr. and Boyd in the wide receivers room. Guilford also saw work with the starters during camp, and should remain in contention to contribute, but his buzz wasn't as loud in the spring as his fellow 2026 classmates.

The pair arrived to campus in two different fashions, as Henry was a five-star recruit out of California and national powerhouse Mater Dei, while Boyd was a three-star from Texas, but he became the third-fastest Buckeye to lose their black stripe.

Henry has seen more work with the projected starters than Boyd, who had a couple of red zone touchdowns during 7-on-7 work. Boyd has been with the twos, but has also worked as a punt returner all three days. Despite not seeing a ton of work with Sayin, that didn't stop him from earning an elite comparison at Big Ten Media Days, and he'll for sure remain in the mix for snaps throughout the season.

“I think those guys in particular are really fighting hard. I think they can see it. We saw enough in them in the spring to lead us to believe that they can help us this year. The question is, 'how early and how much?' And that's what preseason is gonna be about.”– Ryan Day on Chris Henry Jr. and Brock Boyd

The thing with freshmen now is they're viewed differently after the five-for-five ruling, where athletes have been granted five years to play five seasons, starting with full-time enrollment or the academic year after turning 19 years old, which Day noted.

"Everybody's playing now. The whole redshirt idea doesn't really exist moving forward," Day said. "So first off, everybody in the program should have the idea that they're fighting for positions, fighting for playing time, wanting to get on the field."

Because the defense from that year absolutely pisses me off - 2018. I distinctly remember Anthony McFarland going THEE. FUCK. OFF. against us as we squeaked by Maryland. Steelers drafted him off that game, I swear.

Baylor transfer Connor Hawkins, Notre Dame transfer Marcello Diomede and walk-on freshman Cooper Peterson struggled during live action on Saturday. The trio was perfect from within 35 yards, but when called upon for distance greater than that, all attempts were no good.

Hawkins projects to be the starter after going 18-for-22 field goals, including 3-of-4 from 50-plus yards, for the Bears in 2025. Diomede was 0-for-1 through three years with the Fighting Irish. Both kickers showed distance during warmups, with Diomede finding more success on 50-plus-yard tries, but Hawkins remains the favorite to get the nod in Week 1.

“What we'll try to do is we'll try to create situations like put a certain time on the clock, ball’s around midfield, okay, we're gonna play this out. Offense needs a field goal. And then put him in that situation where he doesn't have a bunch of field goals to warm up,” Day said. “It's like being at the driving range; you don't get to go to the driving range when you're on the back nine. So that's what we'll try to do, and see how he responds to the different environments. We'll look to see how the wind, the weather, hopefully we get different variations of that during the preseason to get a feel for his range and how we can handle it.”
