OC/WR Coach Brian Hartline (National Champion)

I was really impressed with Hart today. Loved the new formations and constant movement against PSU today. Passing game was excellent and the run game looked good for the most part.
Agreed. Loved how they stayed aggressive and took the top off Knowles defense and exploited Knowles. A lot of pre-snap motion and they executed better in the red zone. Running game struggled early but we started to wear them down in the 2H and it was ball game. Also glad we’re accepting our identity and calling games to our strengths. Day is letting Hart open up more in the playbook and they definitely took advantage of the bye week. We need Day to let the wolverine killing Hart remain in control of play calling for THE game, no tightening up.

Still a bit surprised Knowles didn’t adjust when we kept connecting on deep balls. Flashbacks to 2022 Xichigan.

LB Arvell Reese (National Champion)

I will counter by saying that Arvell is so much better instinctively than Browning ever was at OSU. He had trouble reading and reacting and making tackles pretty much up until his senior year. He definitely has improved in the NFL though.

At what point can this be considered a threat?
With them, it always ends up about playing with boys.

Kentucky Wildcats (EABOD)

University of Kentucky looks to make athletic department LLC​

Kentucky will ask its board of trustees Friday to approve a plan to convert its entire athletic department into an LLC, a move the school says will position it to adapt to the new climate of collegiate sports.

Champions Blue, the name of the school's proposed Limited Liability Company, would allow Kentucky to create a public-private partnership and raise funds and handle expenses as collegiate sports shifts into a new era if the House settlement is approved and schools are allowed to share revenue with athletes in the years ahead, the school said in a statement.

A board composed of business and professional sports experts will advise athletic director Mitch Barnhart and school president Eli Capilouto under the proposed model, which the school is calling one of the first in Division I sports.

"We believe this is an innovative approach -- a new structure and governance model that thoughtfully contemplates how we strengthen athletics, protect and promote the university and open up new opportunities for growth," Capilouto said. "It's a foundation and model that we are calling Champions Blue. Athletics and its success have always been the result of an incredible and productive partnership with campus. It will continue to be in the future -- if we seize the opportunities in front of us to meet the challenges that lie ahead."

The public-private partnership could give the school access to unorthodox revenue streams like real estate as collegiate sports undergo a transformational shift with schools -- under the terms of the House settlement -- expected to be able to give a pool of $20 million to athletes who may also still have the opportunity to capitalize on outside NIL deals. The school said the proposed model, which would make the athletic department a holding company, is one it has used outside athletics to acquire a pair of local hospitals.

Last week, a study led by former Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs advised that schools should consider hiring human resources departments and operating like businesses instead of traditional athletic departments.

Just sayin': I'm not a lawyer; however, I have always believed that the primary purpose of establishing a LLC is protect the personal wealth/property of those people and/or organization running the LLC. If a Limited Liability Company gets sued (for any reason) the person suing can only get a monetary judgement against the Limited Liability Company, etc.
I believe it would still be possible to ”pierce the corporate veil“ and go after university assets in cases of serious misconduct by the university. But as you can imagine, that doesn’t happen very often...

Piercing the corporate veil that is. University misconduct probably happens all the time.

Brian "Body Kount" Kelly (Temu Ed Orgeron)

Yep. ND paid a massive OSHA fine, yet the local DA chose not to pursue negligent manslaughter charges against Kelly and Swarbrick. Body Kount shouldn't be worried about how to spend his buyout. The asshole should be worried about his upcoming parole hearing. A complete garbage human being.
The fine wasn’t even that massive. Maybe $77,500 was the maximum fine OSHA could hand down, but it’s essentially nothing for Notre Dame. The family chose not to sue, so ND and Kelly got off nearly scot-free.

“IOSHA fined Notre Dame $77,500 for six safety violations tied to Sullivan's death, including knowingly putting its employees in an unsafe situation.”

Week 10 Game Discussion Thread

Cincinnati getting worked at Utah. Leading rusher and Ohio State transfer Evan Pryor was listed as out for this game with an ankle injury.
Back to reality for Cincinnati after a relatively soft early schedule. They have a decent team this year, but there’s a pretty big gap between UC and Utah/BYU.

Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Thread devolves, as so many do, into a cry fest about how much we miss Joe Paterno.
One guy says he was the best.
Another says he wasn't.
Then this post:

409 wins: congrats on the way you beat up on your neighbors.
Beat Saban head to head: I'm guessing he's referring to his time at Michigan State. Not impressed.
Won following the rules: I guess it isn't "cheating" to hand-pick the referees. Other than the next point, I'm not sure what "rules" he thinks others broke.
No money men paying players: All teams paid their players. No points for this one.
Was a real disciplinarian: Yeah, zero points. We used to laugh at the players who had run-ins with the law and how they got off with no punishments. To further prove my point, see how he handled Jerry Sandusky.
Emphasized academics over football: This drips with a fear at that school that the players better pass, or Paterno sends his goons to break some thumbs.
No punishment??! NO PUNISHMENT??!

So running stairs and cleaning the stadium aren't punishment enough for assault or DUI? OK pal. If they were really felonious or their grades were shit they may be forced to leave their friends and teammates and transfer to a satellite campus.

No punishment smh

Game Thread Penn State at #1 tOSU, Sat. Nov. 1st, 12pm ET, FOX

Consider yourself lucky that you don't understand it.
There's a whole section of the interwebs dedicated to them complaining about the refs.
In 2 years, they won't remember the score. But they WILL remember that Downs wasn't ejected, and add this to their list of games that was stolen from them. (Yes, I'm sure that some of them keep a running list.)
Oh they definitely do. They have a Rain Man-like ability to tell you exactly what bad call happened and how it made them lose if you just give them a year. And I mean Rain Main quite literally.
