I've heard from a number of interviews that athletes at bigger school are different and can take online classes at any time. Greg Oden is an interview I remember who said he couldn't go to class because he was too much of a distraction. I remember Justin Fields saying something similar when he got to OSU. Sorry, but its a liability to have a high profile athlete in your classroom, I have friends who coach in HS and they say it's hard enough if they have a star athlete because everyone wants to socialize, take selfies with them, etc. To think players are actually attending classes in person in this day and age is just crazy. Heck, many in corporate America work hybrid or completely remote. A kid taking classes online isn't revolutionary.

scUM folk made lots of threats to sue the NCAA regarding their cheating cases, but I don’t recall that they ever actually did file anything. So with no lawsuit for scUM to lose this type of enforcement action really doesn’t apply to the cheaters.

[ In November, 2023 scUM sued the B1G conference and commissioner in Michigan state court regarding the 3 game cheating suspension the conference gave Hairball. scUM quickly caved and dismissed the case.]

Academic smack in this day and age is lamer than it used to be and it was lame as fuck back then.

They are professional athletes. I don't give a flying fuck if they go to school, don’t go to school, what kind of car they drive, how they spend their money or anything else they do as long as they stay out of jail.

I see them perform 3 hours a week 14 or so times a year. Thats it.

Play well. That’s all I ask.

Weird. I applied to, and got into Fisher 2016 to get my MBA. There was not a single class you could take online for that degree. Now, maybe undergrad is different or post- Covid it has changed but if I could have done that with my work and family responsibilities I'd be an OSU grad right now instead of Ohio Dominican. Maybe that should actually be clarified, as many have said, before mouth breathers comment? But I forget it's the social media age and it's first come first serve with regard to truth. Fucks sake

Where's a cloud when I need something to yell at?!?

From what I gather covid changed a lot at least for athletes. They seem to take way more online classes and depending on how those online classes are policed add in NIL I wouldn't be surprised if people are paid to take classes for someone. Much like tutors paid or not would do homework/papers work for kids back in the day

I have never been to their campus but Jesus do they need to drive anywhere at this point?!?

Burn it to the ground!!

I actually love the guy. Damn his medical issues.

For me it's the 2006 natty vs. Fla. I almost said 1998 sparty but Cooper probably would've blown it vs ttun or in champ game anyways.

You know, after Teddy ran the opener back I literally stood up in the bar and yelled GAME! I did not see Ted taken out by a teammate in the end zone. I still argue that if he doesn't get hurt it's a different game, but, damn.

98 is just the Devil being a prick

I keep applying but my emails aren't going though. Hmmmm

Hehe

Sumbitch if we don't have the best comprehensive coaching talent from top to bottom, in all sports in the US, I'll kiss your ass

Sorry the 'David Allen' jumped out of me for a second.

Unfortunately, if Iowa finishes ahead of OSU in the league standings, I can see Stirtz being picked ahead of Bruce because there's such a huge gap between Stirtz and the #2 scorer of Iowa. I know we all realize Bruce is OSU's MVP, but the stats make it look like he gets more help than Stirtz. You can at least discount Martinelli because NW has been near the bottom of the league standings.

All true. These awards for kids are extremely subjective so Bruce just needs to kick Iowas ass and leave no doubt!

Fisher already a weekend starter. That's huge!!

100% and it will absolutely suck if Bruce doesn't get recognized for how much he actually means to this program considering the state of things and what he's accomplished.

Finished product

It is easy to say 1998 loss to Michigan State or 1996 loss to TSUN. If they were both wins they probably would have won the Natty in both years. Would the 1999 and 2000 seasons gone better? Who knows what the program would have looked moving forward. We might have not gotten the Jim Tressel years.

I would have to choose the 2022 Georgia game. A sure win over TCU to follow and the Natty.

He's an all time great. That shit means way more than people realize right now because we've been missing the tournament. He's an Ohio State HOF athlete and barely gets recognized. Damn shame. Get in the freaking tournament boys!
