I've played this song multiple times, and it honestly makes me want to either take a nap or sit in the dark and meditate. Idk if you should want to do either right before any OSU football game. SO many other better options to choose, I'm surprised none of Mekka Don's songs weren't chosen, or something from the Black Keys, so many other upbeat rock or hip hop songs could've been chosen. This seems like Bjork choosing this for the big money donors, and not the students or actual fans. I'm sure he'll be delighted having a 68yo 7 figure donor swaying with his 35yo wife to the acoustic stylings of Caamp :roll1:

Week 1 Game Discussion Thread

Some quality games on tonight

Boise State @ USF
Weird 5:30 PM EST kickoff but I'm not mad at it. Lot of big talk and expectations put on Boise and to start the year across the country in the heat and humidity will surely be a tough first test.

Nebraska vs Cinci
It takes a very annoying team to have me root for the Bearcats, but here we are. It's really just Raiola I want to see lose, so hopefully he throws a game ending interception.

Miami (not FL) @ Wisconsin
I have no shame in saying I'm rooting for the RedHawks. Big fan of Dequan Finn and I think too many have forgotten how good he is (but like, MAC elite, which might be enough to still beat Wisconsin).

C Seth McLaughlin (All B1G, 1st Team All-American, 1st Team Academic All-American, 2024 Rimington Award, National Champion, Cincinnati Bengals)

Did he get any preseason time at all or is he still healing up?
Seth McLaughlin did play in the NFL preseason in 2025, specifically in the Cincinnati Bengals' final game, despite recovering from an Achilles injury.

He suffered a torn Achilles during an Ohio State practice in November 2024, which ended his college season and affected his draft status—he went undrafted but signed with the Bengals as a free agent in April 2025. McLaughlin was placed on the active/non-football injury list in mid-July 2025 due to his ongoing recovery but passed his physical and was cleared for practice by late July. He took part in team drills during training camp and expressed confidence in playing preseason snaps.

In the Bengals' preseason finale on August 23, 2025, against the Indianapolis Colts, McLaughlin played all second-half snaps at center. According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), he earned a 71.3 run-blocking grade and a 68.2 pass-blocking grade, showing he was still regaining full strength less than 10 months after the injury. The Bengals waived him on August 26, 2025, just before the regular season, but his performance demonstrated progress in his recovery.

HC Ryan Day (National Champion)

Been watching a lot of games from last year, getting ready for our season opener.

Not trying to belabor this point, but regular season Will Howard just wasn’t that great….so many underthrown balls that could’ve been walk-in touchdowns, some really bad INT’s, and some completions into windows where a play was made for him, but it wasn’t the right decision.

His leadership is unquestioned, but I actually think our QB play this year takes a pretty significant step up (in the regular season)….I will say the offense hit another gear in playoffs and Will executed at a high level at that point.

Tony "Benedict" Alford (meh)

It's true. They are much better at cheating than anyone else.
This is really interesting because just this morning I watched the Greg Olsen interview with Ryan Day (I just posted it in the Ryan Day thread). The very next thread I read was this one. Hearing Day talk about the expectations he has of his coaches and then reading Fat Tony taking his shot at Day (knowing that Alford's frustration is coming from not meeting those expectations) is illuminating.

One things is for certain, Fat Tony is not in the better place, but he sure is in the right place for him.
