Always appreciate this every year. So cheers!

Probably goes without saying but also thanks for not using the pic of Bob on crutches UM game when he was emotional. Pisses me off every time espin does that.

Put me down for everyone in America having a 007 license to kill for snakes and over populated deer. Don't give a fuck if you eat them or not.

Like most guys from small rural areas in Ohio, I grew up amongst many a hunter. Doesn't bother me one way or the other.

After my time in the military I took on the personal stance that I wasn't killing anything that wasn't trying to kill me unless I need the food-I have opposable thumbs, they don't. I think that is for a reason.

I'd like to tell you all I will kill any snake I see on sight but that's a lie. I evacuate the area like a bitch.

I think Moore keeps his job as well. Who could they get to coach them through what we hope will be a period of NCAA penalties galore anyway?

Donner Gallions. He happens to look a lot like Connor Stallions but with a twirly mustache.

About as close to JK as you can get…. I’m a fan of shorter RBs. Those 5’9 220 pound kids who can get to full speed in 5 years.

Hate that I like this player but that’s why I was bummed when we lost out on Blake Corum years ago. Kids in that size range are just tough to deal with and luckily Peoples fits that mold.

Hopefully he gets to full speed sooner than 5 years.

I’m far from a PETA activist but that does not sit well with me. I don’t understand the need to go over there and “hunt” some of these majestic animals (likely in controlled and set up environment).

Go get your overpopulated deer you can eat.

Maybe just not my thing.

In with ya. If you shoot it, you better eat it. Unless it's trying to eat you. Or snakes. Fuck snakes. .

League has been renewed. If you don't plan on playing this season, please let me know. Also please post any dates in August that absolutely don't work for a draft... will try to accommodate.

I don't like the system, but I'm not for wage control, I'm for contracting. Lock the players into some kind of years of service requirements and punishments/payback for reneging on them; Limit NIL benefits to once ever, "sure you can transfer schools, but you already got your NIL money, so you can't go chase more money" etc.

Up to this point it’s been a private citizen and a private business engaging in a contractual relationship. You can put whatever clawback provisions in there you want to.

The market decides on how attractive those clawbacks are however. OSU has clawbacks, Oregon money is fully guaranteed? Guess where kids might be going. Probably why we haven’t heard of them being a major sticking point for anyone. No one can out them in if everyone doesn’t put them in.

One also would wonder (yeah, guess maybe only me?) which school might include graduate admission (medical, legal, business, ?) as an incentive? A well-paying job for mom and/or dad certainly, especially to the tweener in playing ability might move the needle one way or another. For a player truly looking to the future, this grad school incentive would be special.

Lost 3 games a year and tOSU basically faded from any type of national presence. Because he's a mediocre coach.

tOSU has been a national player almost every year since 1993. Thanks to Cooper.

Ok.

In the immortal words of Yogi, 'it ain't over, until it's over'. Again, the question is how much money does it take to overtake the hometown/state advantage? Wonder if tOSU will take a run at this guy, as LJsr might be getting a bit desperate. Also wonder how much pressure Day puts on him to 'keep up' with his other recruiters? Can visualize this year as being the turning point, what with an entire new DL, which will see how well LJsr does with these players. But have learned (?) not to underestimate LJsr, who appears to be the energizer bunny of coaches.

Believe back in the day of 85 scholarship limit, was a much bigger issue than today, when shall we say, total # is liquid? Heard that coaches do sit down and pour over the positions, and position coaches talk about who's coming up, who's riding even, and who's not holding up their position, and might be when 'the talk' occurs, re playing time (now include NIL $). Have also read that position coaches start with the current players, and project them as to where their ceiling (?) may be, before the current/future recruiting season starts (that point in time is very blurred these days).
