HS Swim Team - any experience?

the boy dropped 6.11 seconds on his 100 Free and 5.8 seconds on his 100 breast on Saturday at the first meet of the year @BB73 I apologize for the delayed posting, i know you were waiting with baited breath.

Told him if he PR'd in either event, he could pick where we went for dinner... he (being 15) picked Twin Peaks, I'm so proud

B1G CCG: #1 tOSU vs #2 Indiana in Indy, Sat. Dec 6th, 8 ET on FOX

I dont get into the whole blaminng the refs thing (obviously they are going to miss some calls and they aren't going to call 30 penalties a game) but that one is pretty bad lol
The lack of holding calls when other teams play OSU is noticeable. It is definitely a thing.

Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

Let us not forget that the 'big money boys' that are offering this $2.2B pot of money, have done all the analysis, projections, and assumption setting needed to come up with this offer. And the fact is, they wouldn't make this offer, without some thoughts on how THEY will make money, enough to represent a significant return on the $2.2B. From what I gather, the top teams in the B10, will score more of the loot than the lesser lights. But for those lesser lights, a huge infusion might/will ease some of the current expenses/problems they face. Am not going to argue who are the league 'big boys' are, but am certain that some teams will be butt-hurt when they're NOT included in that conversation. To be, kinda overwhelming. PS, hopefully the B10 will have some bigger brains study this, rather than the chump that negotiated the last TV rights contract. Current lump of cash, versus the net present value of a cash stream.....classic corporate analysis.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

No one knows what went on in the heads of the 'Committee', but would have liked to be a fly on the wall. Elevating a 3 loss team, over a surging #2 loss team seems to be confounding (to me at least). Getting smushed by GA should have been a warning to the overall health of Bama, yet they persevered. SEC bias? Almost certainly. Warning to ND that a) join a league; b) don't believe that you're that solid. Anyway, that part of the season has been written in stone, so guess we'll pop some corn and watch things unfold. PS, listening to the talking heads say things like 'we're not going to penalize teams for early season losses', well, losing to Miami in what, first game of season for ND, seems to have been the deciding point between Miami and ND. And gotta laugh, when Duke won the ACC, Miami appears to be the rep.....

SF Brandon Noel (Official Thread)

Thought he'd be a solid #4 spot, but at the NW game, he slid to the #5, and did well there. tOSU appears to be more of a 'get back' kind of team, than crashing the boards to corral a second chance rebound. OK, that's systemic coaching by Diebs. Still haven't seen Tilly and Noel pair up efficiently in the forecourt. Hopefully that's coming. Any recent news on the health of the Baylor xfer? PS, for the record, believe that what we're fielding this year, looks significantly better than last year. Should keep us competitive in all but a few games...

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!

The incocsistency of the committee is better questioned by pointing out that:

Bama lost to #3 by 21 in a CCG and didn’t drop below ND

BYU lost to #4 by 22 in a CCG and dropped below Miami

That combination allowed ND and Miami to get next to each other and have the head-to-head result come into play.

tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Would opine that many/if not all of us project what WE'd do with that kind of jingle at 18 years old. Some of us were collecting pop bottles to turn in for 5 cents to take our dolly out to a movie and popcorn. What some of these kids are getting is life-changing money. At least for an 18 year old. Times have certainly changed, and age/income level of parents certainly factors in. Certainly don't mean to imply that these kids come from homes with dirt-packed floors, but closer to that than to being transported here and there by a Bentley. Anyway, have tried to infuse with our daughter the need to invest at an early age, for her retirement (decades away), but am suggesting that mayhaps there's a larger need at home in the present.....anyway, guess trying to paint a broad-brush scenario without a ton of knowledge.....

He doesn’t get a pass because we’ve had other mediocre and worse kickers and we don’t get a pass for having had so many mediocre and worse kickers. There’s this thing called to transfer portal now and we seem to use it magnificently for most other positions. Go out and get a fucking kicker. It’s just not as difficult as we’re making it look.

B1G CCG: #1 tOSU vs #2 Indiana in Indy, Sat. Dec 6th, 8 ET on FOX

Hot take: If that Hoosier jersey was a UGA jersey we'd probably would just tip the cap and move on to CFP. Deep down I believe most of us are upset because we think IU isn't as good as their ranking.

Them skull dragging the OU/Bama winner would go a long way in quelling concerns imo.
That’s fair and absolutely true when you stack the rosters side by side. We are definitely living in weird times. I’d still be complaining about the calls on those two drives, though. I’d still be scratching my head about them no matter who is lined up on D. :lol:
