They should have an NCAA mandated coaching move window too.

Once a year, after the season for a specific period of time and that's it.

Once a Buckeye…

Happy for him to get a chance to do big things.

Best of luck kid!

The thing you aren’t accounting for is we are Vegas. We are the ones with the better odds.

We are the ones with better skill. Odds are not skill. Lead is not gold, fat is not muscle and none of these things turn into the other things.

I pointed out gambling as something you should avoid because the concept of "I just need more opportunities for my luck to turn around" is how bad gamblers go broke and big shiny buildings get built.

The guys who make a living at selling you risk want you to have this kind of fundamental misunderstanding.

Captain Buckeye said:

If we were the ones gambling (the lessor talented team) then I agree. But if you’re the one with the better odds then force a team with less talent to do it again and again.

Jesus Christ. That is exactly backwards and again, "we" aren't the house in a casino game. You are using ana analogy that makes no sense.

I'll do this one last time for my own peace of mind:
-The outcome of a play = skill + luck(random variance)
-More plays increase the chance of luck expressing itself (fattens the tail in a distribution curve). So try to absorb that slowly....More plays = more luck...when you have the better skill...this is bad.
-When you have the lesser skilled team (or are behind) you now want luck to express itself because you need it. Again...lesser team wants/needs luck. How do you give yourself the chance for more luck? Go faster, run more plays.

With the better team...going faster helps your opponent. Doing things to help the opponent is generally considered a bad idea.

I understand the approach and it’s worked out pretty well overall. But I think we could all agree is sure would’ve been nice to have an extra 3 possessions vs Miami and IU.

Edit- anyway I think I’ve made my point lol no need to keep carrying on. This offense regardless should be something but will be good to see them tested more frequently next year.

You've made a very clear statement-I'll give you that. I don't think it's the statement you think it is, but you've made it.


The strategy of winning through efficiency is simple:
-plays are the building block of a possession
-everyone, regardless of skill level wants to score more points per possession on offense and..
-allow fewer points per possession on defense
-When you have the better skill and a positive delta (that means difference) in points per possession then you can really hurt the opponent by doing what?.......
Reduce their number of possessions on top of having a per possession advantage.
How do you do that? Take time off the clock on offense as you score.

That is what Day has been doing for 4 years now. He won a NC with it last year. This is how Cignetti at IU beat OSU this year. His guys could just execute better. These guys aren't stupid. They know the best strategy for winning the game of football.

Would love to know the deals these kids are making.

IU is out here getting their starting QB and WR yet we are landing back up TEs and long snappers lol. Seems IU is swinging a big stick early here

Chris Henry is starting that’s why WR are baling.

I think it’ll take a season for him to gain the strength and experience to be a starting WR.

I gotta say, this seems like bullshit to me. Yeah, driving an ATV without a helmet and after drinking wasn't very bright, but "assault"? "Aggravated homicide"? Isn't that bit much? It was an unfortunate accident not a fucking crime. Sounds like someone is interested in a payday.

Makes sense. Funny thing is, for all the criticism we and other people gave him, we unquestionably would have had a better chance to beat Miami with him out there instead of Van Sickle.

yep one of those you saw why he kept starting situations

as bad as our OLine has been the last few years, I'm surprised any of them were ordered any deals.
and honestly, Davis was the worst of a very bad group.

If anything he probably came back because he realized that no one was going to offer him what he wanted to get in the portal.

Colin has gotten worse and worse over the last few years. I used to like him for some of the brash takes that he would occasionally get right. Now he’s wrong on pretty much every show, and it’s almost like he’s attempting to be wrong for clicks. And it seems like he doesn’t even watch sports anymore, some random intern or camera guy gives him a box score and he just wings it

I can't remember when he was actually good. I am not denying that he was, I just wasn't paying attention to him then. To me he's always been a West Coast Finebaum.

No surprise, and it also wouldn’t shock me if he had “a talk” to enter…

Haven’t listened to his stick in years. He was good awhile ago, but then he got full of himself and just tiresome to listen too

IU fueling a NIL war in the BIG. Will be interesting to see the response

Ex-Notre Dame QB Kenny Minchey commits to Nebraska via portal​

Notre Dame transfer quarterback Kenny Minchey has committed to Nebraska, he told ESPN on Sunday.

The Cornhuskers secured their top target among transfer quarterbacks in Minchey, a redshirt sophomore with two more years of eligibility who moved on from Notre Dame in search of an opportunity to become a starter in 2026.

The 6-foot-2, 208-pound passer went through a close offseason competition with CJ Carr for the Notre Dame starting job that extended through preseason camp. In six appearances this season, Minchey was 20-of-26 passing for 196 yards and rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown.

Minchey, a former ESPN 300 recruit who was the No. 5 dual-threat quarterback prospect in the 2023 class, gives coach Matt Rhule and offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen a quarterback to build around in 2026 after two-year starter Dylan Raiola opted to move on via the transfer portal.

Excited to see OK State got Mestemaker and Hawkins to follow Coach Morris. Feels like the old days of having shootouts at night there will finally be returning. Man, miss those days when OK State and Texas Tech were lighting up the scoreboards and seeing Coach Leach going nuts.
