I love this idea.

At this point if we’re going to totally revamp the entire system of how the season works, we might as well just go all in and tear it all down and make something new.

As it is currently structured, I really can’t get excited about college football because it’s still holding onto the Old too much while trying to force something new into it but it’s only been one year of expanded playoff so we’ll see where they go with it
But... but... how will Arkansas ever play another meaningful game if they are relegated to Subdivision E?

Baseball Mourns Loss of Scott Klingenbeck

Baseball Mourns Loss of Scott Klingenbeck | Ohio State


The Ohio State baseball program mourns the loss of former Buckeye Scott Klingenbeck, who unexpectedly passed away last week.

Klingenbeck, a right-handed pitcher, was a member of the Ohio State squad from 1990-92 and was on the 1991 Big Ten title team. In 1991, he earned Second Team All-American honors.

Klingenbeck posted a career ERA of 3.99 in 277.2 innings pitched. He tossed 25 complete games and had an impressive 11 wins during the 1991 season. He was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 1990 and was a First Team All-Big Ten selection in 1991. Klingenbeck ranks in the top five in program history in career wins (28) and wins in a season (11, 1991).

Klingenbeck was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in 1992 and went on to play seven seasons of professional baseball. He made his MLB debut for the Orioles in 1994, and he also made MLB appearances for the Minnesota Twins and the Cincinnati Reds.

Following his professional career, Klingenbeck continued to be a fixture in the Ohio baseball community, coaching youth baseball and sharing his love of the game.

Game Thread Texas at tOSU, Sat. Aug. 30th, 12pm ET, FOX


"THEY'RE A GREAT PARTNER." Ohio State’s 2025 season opener with Texas will kick off at noon.

Bjork said he “can’t blame Texas” for their lack of cooperation, but still believes Ohio State fans deserved a night game for the premier matchup. Rather than aim his arrows at Mulvhill or Del Conte, Bjork pointed at the TV contract the Big Ten signed with Fox, CBS and NBC in 2022 and explained that the “lack of flexibility” made moving the kickoff to another time almost impossible.

“They’re a great partner,” Bjork said of Fox. “They tried (to move the game). They have the first pick each week. There was no way they were not going to choose the Ohio State-Texas game. Here’s the bottom line: The lack of flexibility that’s built into the current TV contracts between Fox, CBS and NBC did not allow this game to be moved to another window.”

He later continued: “We get the way the contracts are written. All we were hoping for is a little more balance and a little flexibility, and that’s not possible given the current makeup of these TV contracts.”

You know…

I blamed Mulvhill (i.e. Fox Sports).

I blamed Del Conte (i.e. Texas AD).

I blamed Mulvhill again — kind of.

But I once was blind, and now I see.

If all of this has to do with contracts and legal jargon, this is all Kevin Warren’s fault — and of course it’s all Kevin Warren’s fault!

:lol:


Just sayin': Personally, I'm very happy it is a noon game.....:biggrin:
