Google Dave Portnoy Ruined Big Noon Kickoff for Ohio State Buckeyes Fans with Michigan Obsession - Sports Illustrated

calibuck
Well, if Portnoy was on a UX station, exclusively playing on Ann Arbor TV, good for him. But on a national scene, being outrageously bigoted (towards any one team), shouldn't be tolerated. Not certain how Desmond was allowed to get away with it, and Herbie went out of his way NOT to show favoritism towards tOSU. Heck, I even turn off ESPN on Saturday mornings to listen to B10 pregame chatter. So, I guess I voted with my channel clicker. PS, don't like the new loud-mouthed guy on ESPN

The pearl clutching by some OSU fans is hilarious. If they lose this game bc Jakobi is out then they have issues. This isn't same Indiana team as last year. Could they beat OSU? Sure, but to act like they are some super team is laughable. There's a reason Vegas has OSU favored

Better brand? These games are won upfront. If OSU gameplan’s this deficiency, they’ll win. Problem is, I’ve never seen Day even attempt this.

Interesting that Juck predicts Hall to OSU, and has him as his RB1 out of him, Tranard Roberts, Kingston Allen and Jayden Miles. He thinks he has most shiftiness along with speed and durability. He believes that Roberts still has a hurt ankle and that's why his HS hasn't used him as much. He sees Allen similar to me in that he just doesn't have the shiftiness and moves of the others, and may be on team that's just so much better than all of the competition he plays in WI. Miles is the clear last choice and someone who is "just a body" or the best available if the others go elsewhere.

It’s really a game of opposites.

If we can protect Julian well it’s likely OSU is in a good position to win.

If Indiana can run the ball it’s likely they’ll win.

I am betting also that with a banged up RB room that Bo is going to have his best game yet. It’s situations like this where OSU players typically step up.

@pnuts34 is there a difference maker out there still or fo you see that RB coming from the portal?

This seems to be the issue the last couple seasons is having that explosive back.

If you're asking if there's a difference maker that's uncommitted or still on the OSU big board, then I'd have to agree with @RB07OSU in Tranard Roberts. I like Kingston Allen, but he seems a little more stiff and is a 1 cut and go type of player with not much wiggle to his game. He is able to outrun defenders when he hits the hole or the perimeter. Kind of reminiscent to Brandon Saine, a ton of speed but not the best vision. Where Roberts reminds me more of Treyveon Henderson. He has the shifty as well as the speed, and can turn on the burners at any moment.

Curious to hear @pnuts34 thoughts but I'm going to take a slightly different position than many and say that the RB position has been undervalued in recent years. Not just at the college level, but at the professional level too.

I get the observations that there are injuries so you need quantity, and that the talent disparity at RB is perhaps not as high as other positions where the talent is more scarce or where you need more numbers (OL/DL namely). However, a dynamic RB makes a world of difference to me. I'm not sure we win a title without Zeke, but also look what happened when Donbins got injured and we had leaned on him so much all year before that. And recently our RBs are in the above average stratosphere, with Bo being a little above that at times. I agree not having a playmaker at RB has been a bit of a hindrance to the offense.

All that said, look out for Elijah Newman-Hall when he gets here, that kid is for real and will play from Day 1 imo. A big time RB in the portal would definitely be helpful, as would Bey coming along at the RB position. As to the topic matter of this thread for the 2027 class, I would qualify Tranard Roberts as an elite RB if we were to land him, that kid is for real.

Fully agree on RB being devalued, but that's also because most of the teams in the nation have transfer RBs as starters, Its a plug and play position. As much as Zeke was needed to win the '14 title, Judkins was as important to the '24 title. I think dynamic RBs can be found in the 2nd tier of HS recruiting as well as in the Portal. I've been on record for being against paying insane amounts for RBs, because that would then take away NIL from OL, WRs, DL, etc. That's fine if Tenn thinks they "won" by getting DGG, but at what cost?

ENH is a stud, but will need another RB in his class as well to keep him healthy. I can a RB2 coming from the Portal for '27 and '28. ENH will scare many HS RBs away, IMO, and I'm fine with that. Get an upperclassmen RB and call it a day, there will always be guys willing to come to OSU and be in the rotation, especially since I can see OSU losing 1-2 RBs in the off season. Roberts and Allen are 1A and 1B, whomever wants to commit first, be fine with that, and if the other guy wants in, so be it.

Fuck cignetti and fuck a hoosier.

Step on their throats for four quarters and send them back to reality. Last year the Bucks lost because they couldn’t get out of their own way. Not this Saturday.

Shove these fools back in the locker and tell them to fix their shitty roads.
