2027 OH LB Brayton Feister (Oregon Verbal)

To make a long story short, it seems that the OSU coaches thought he was close to his ceiling with him being 19 already

Same thing I said a few months ago. He's pretty much already what he’s going to become as a football player.

Ted Ginn was held back in elementary school because he had a learning disability.

Brayton, while talented, is closer to Mike “The Abusement Park” Mitchell than he is to Ted Ginn.

Freak athletes at the HS level, but close to maxed out before the even hit campus.

$4.29 here, how about you?

Just got back to Cali from driving vehicle to Ohio/Dublin. Didn't refuel until got out of California. But, the stations (Kingman) close to border take liberties of charging more, figuring schlubs like me will do exactly what I did. Cost dropped pretty hard from middle of AZ thru NM, going low $4.00 till Texas, where went to $3.65. Prices around big cities went up, $4+, but dropped when hit Indiana (more ethanol?). Maybe we start an offshoot of this thread about cleanliness of bathrooms?????

2029 CA WR Austin Miller is a Buckeye!!!

Well, when they report for work-outs, the # of *s simply aren't there anymore. It's recruit v recruit. Whoever has the talent, the heart, works the hardest, 'gets it' the fastest, will play. Has always been tOSU's mantra. The best player plays. He who makes the plays gets to play, or some iteration of that. Would think that a highly rated 5* coming in with a bit of a swagger (based on past laurels, rating or ? might find that the upper classmen might/would hit him a tad harder, etc. Storylines abound about the vaunted player coming in humbley, and working his fanny off to earn a spot. Does tOSU still assign 'big brothers' to take the recruits under their wing, to show them the ropes (and the things not to do?)

ESPN (A bunch of Death-Spiraling maroons)

Ultimately his schtick is being a bro (from the snippets I have endured via my 21 year old son's interest in this slappy), and he's about to turn 40.

He's going to lose his 20 something target audience at some point.

Then again, my ability to make any kind of sense of modern pop culture/behavior is virtually nil so don't listen to me.

I may as well just go make a tractor rap album and get followers on social media.
AI can make that happen

Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

The Defense: During the investigation, Michigan and its defenders argued that other programs also shared or gathered sign data improperly. However, governing bodies and the NCAA maintain that "everyone else does it" is not a valid defense against breaking explicit rules regarding advanced scouting networks

The irony of high powered, very expensive, lawyers trying the defense that our mothers slapped out of our heads when we were less than 10 years old will never cease to amaze me.

The Supreme Court of Mom Justice issued a ruling on this one long ago. They probably got it from the Old Testament. "...and the Lord said 'I giveth a fuck what everyone else is doing. Thou dwellest under mine roof, thou shall adhere to My rule and thou knewest the rules' then there was a sound of thunder, and there was darkness...."

That ruling was swift, unambiguous and some would say, severe. So much so in fact that, as an adult, if I even so much as think "everyone else does it" my body reflexively flinches and I duck my head. I can still hear her rebuttal and I can still feel that old familiar feeling of knowing I shouldn't have said something the second it left my mouth.

Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Assuming that's a serious post from a Penn State fan, I think this is the very heart of the problem. This is why we call you a fucking cult.
See, your identity is tied directly to that university. Your successes are theirs and theirs are yours. And that's why the Sandusky shit hurt you so much. There's an issue where a former assistant coach was using university facilities to molest kids. And that hurts you because you're so tied to that university. So, instead of being rational about it, you argue whether it happened... whether it COULD HAVE happened. And you convinced yourselves and each other that the rest of the world was out to get you.
And now, when some other shit happens at your university, you point fingers at everyone else, saying that everyone does it.
I didn't go to a Big Ten school, or even a school with a Div1 football team. But if some staff member ever gets found guilty for raping kids, I'd support putting him in prison forever. If the school was caught covering up for him, I'd want more people thrown in prison. And if a fraternity gets caught with a huge drug-dealing scheme, I wouldn't point at everyone else saying that it's just common practice.
Perception is reality - you THINK people are going to judge you based on what school you went to, and then people start judging you based on what school you went to.

Just sayin': The precedence is already established; the NCAA didn't buy when scUM tried to use it for their sign stealing violations.... :lol:
