Shipley managed top shoot 67 - 63 - 67 - 68 = 265 (-19) and in a 2 way tie for 11th this week.
I believe that he earned $145,500 this week.

It will be interesting to see if he is in the PGA tournaments the next 4 weeks, they are out of the country:

Actually ended up in a three-way tie for tenth and earned $163,500. He’ll be playing everything as he tries to get enough fall Fed Ex points to keep his card for 2027. Moved up from 135 to 122 in the Fed Ex Standings, which gets him to provisional status. Top 100 is the target for a full card.

There’s still time

Truly seems different with OSU.

Players and ex teammates genuinely freak out when they see each other after transfers or in the NFL.

Better week but effort from some of our guys on some of those plays bordered on superhuman to get those results. It all works better when the Oline plays angry doesn't it?

Build and be even better in two weeks and we'll see.

There’s a decent chance we don’t see last year’s defense ever again in our lifetime. Spare yourself the feelings and stop using it as a benchmark or comparison.

Remember that when 4 is gone and the rest of the WRs aren't him

Google AI: Stating true facts about your own achievements is not bragging if you have actually done the work to prove it.
Origins of the Phrase

• • Dizzy Dean: The famous baseball pitcher said, "If you can do it, it ain't bragging," before the 1934 season.
  • Muhammad Ali: The legendary boxer popularized the phrase, often phrased as "It's not bragging if you can back it up".
  • Other Legends: Similar versions are credited to Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra, and Reggie Jackson.

Just sayin': Yeah, he's the best player in college football; and (so far) this season with the stats he has put up, he should be the Heisman frontrunner. However, do you think he's over doing it in hyping himself?.....

Jeremiah Smith Declares He's The 'Best Player' In College Football​

"You've just got to [let] the Heisman voters or whoever it is know that I'm the best player in the country," Smith said, via Adam Rittenberg of ESPN. "I've got to be there."

That's why AI sucks ass, it's missing the best iteration of that saying:

"They say I'm cocky, and I say what?
It ain't bragging motherfucker, if ya back it up!" - Kid Rock (Cocky)

Maybe you're right, that they don't care.
But I think it's also a combination of
1. The advanced scouting wasn't any advantage. They just did it for fun. Stalions did it all by himself and you can't prove he was talking to the DC's or HC. And even if you can prove it, it still didn't give them any advantage. Also, it's the other teams' fault for not changing their signals.
and
2. Everyone does it. Go after Ohio State. The password to their network was probably easy to hack. Ryan Day's brother cheated.

Edit - My point is that they think their success for those 3 years is because of their superior head coach (who wasn't "superior" for 6 years before that) and they had a generational quarterback (who has looked like he is the quarterback of the Browns of recent years).

Would love to get real story about Portnoy losing his piece of Michigan liver, but don’t want to join x to do it. What’s the buzz on the Ann Arbor Annoyer?

Exactly. The blueprint is right there in #4, who by all accounts does everything the right way and was a difference maker from day 1.

So the standard is the best college football player to ever play for Ohio State outside of maybe Orlando Pace and Archie.

That’s a pretty high bar.

Maybe he’s not good enough? That’d be better than him being good enough. The point being, if he really is what they say he is then the coaches need to figure it out because not playing a top play maker only hurts the team.

but maybe he’s not as good as they say? Who knows, but then maybe don’t say we have Tyreke Hill 2.0 if you don’t want questions.

Coaches job to get kids ready. So whether that’s ball security, decision making, learning the playbook, etc. they need to figure it out if he’s really that good (again, maybe he’s not but then just say it) because the offense needs someone else to step up to take pressure off #4.

It’s nice having a consistent run game but that explosive threat is still missing.

I don’t wanna knock the kid…

Absurd tOSU rolls into any season with the situations we have at kicker and punter though. It’s actually comical.

Yeah all these stats and comparisons are cool, but this is the one I care about

Holy crap, that Saints statue of the blocked punt their Super Bowl year is awesome. I love it when the unsung hero gets recognition.

Had a great time at the game yesterday. Weather was fantastic, tailgate was a blast! Seats at Iowa suck though.They really pack you in like sardines and once you get in...you aren't getting out. Toilets were clogged and leaking all over both restrooms I used. I mean are people really taking a dump during the game?

As for the game, we humiliated and outclassed Iowa obviously. But I continue to be absolutely perplexed with the offensive formations. Our best players are WRs and yet all game we continue to line up two tight ends with two WRs. Roberts was in there a lot flexed out in 3rd downs as a 4th WR. I feel like this offense with all the skilled weapons they have, could be scoring at will like an Urban Meyer team. I think Urban wins that game at least 49-14. Or maybe I'm just spoiled rotten because I'm a Buckeye. I don't know... it just seems so predictable and conservative and it doesn't feel like they play to their best strengths.

Other thoughts:
So great to see Jeremiah break two records in person. The Heisman pose was awesome! I love that he is advocating for the award this year. That catch over the middle between 3 defenders blew my mind, not just because it was a great catch but because Sayin had the courage to throw it. LoL! Sayin's confidence in JJ is clearly 1000%, just hope he isn't fixating on him all the time when other guys might be running free.

Gotta clean up all the penalties. There were 3 false starts on one series I think.

I like Jakobi Jackson a lot. He runs hard and his legs never stop driving. Seemed like he had a lot of YAC. Bring Bo in to back him up and please stop putting in West to run between the tackles.

A few DBs in there filling in that I thought did well. Cam Calhoun and Simeon Caldwell, who I had to look up because I didn't know who he was LOL. We have no super star on D, but the entire unit is playing solid.

Iowa's schedule is pretty ridiculous. They should be favored in every game the rest of the year (no ranked teams) so they likely end up with just one loss. It will make this win look better but means we may see them again. LOL!

That's all I got. Thanks for reading. Go Bucks!

They're destined to win this year. They just do all the little things right. It's annoying but impressive when it's not the Reds on the receiving end.

McMillan is a freaking stud. I mean the Lions Defense is shit but that dude is for real.

He picked up that blitz to perfection. We hit a big play down to the red zone. Then he got rewarded with the next 3 carries and that touchdown.

That is how you get more playing time and I hope they show this series over and over again until everybody freaking gets it!

It's so common, but it somehow still astonishes me how stupid football coaches are. Here's what I can tell you - if you go for it, you might get the first down and will hopefully score a TD, or a another FG in a few plays. But, I can 100% guarantee you will lose those three points.

It's a close game against a division rival...TAKE THE FUCKING POINTS, DUMMY!

So I did some light research, curiosity got the best of me. I compiled OSU's final pre-bowl/playoff AP Poll ranking from each completed season from 1968 up to 2025 (stopped going backwards at 68 cause the AP only did a top ten before that). Also noted if they wouldn't have qualified for a theoretical playoff (DNQ). Now I know AP rankings may not be a complete 1 to 1 for how the playoff selection protocol would shake out, but it's pretty insane to see the results regardless.

68: #1
69: #4

70: #2
71: NR DNQ
72: #3
73: #4
74: #3
75: #1
76: #11
77: #9
78: #20
79: #1

80: #11
81: #15
82: #17
83: #14
84: #6
85: #17
86: #11
87: NR DNQ
88: NR DNQ
89: #21

90: #24
91: #25 DNQ
92: #15
93: #11
94: #11
95: #5
96: #4
97: #9
98: #3
99: NR DNQ

00: #19

20: #3

So that's:

89 Percent Appearance Rate

Hope you guys like playoff football...
