Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

It was a relief to see the decision on Ryan’s brick in OT go the Bucks way for Fishback, so it wasn’t 0-12 after 4 matches.
I was screaming at the TV as soon as he got the takedown. I told my wife Ryan heard me and decided to challenge. She very emphatically stated she didn't think so. She's such a Negative Nancy

2025-2026 College Basketball General Discussion

Indiana gets a home court BS foul call with 2.8 secs left as Wilkerson was falling down and the defender just backs up and lets him fall and the ref calls a foul with Indiana down 1 with 2.8 left. After 2 made FT's and Wisky with 2 timeouts they throw the ball near half court and instead of calling timeout and still having 2.5 left and 1 more timeout the guy chucks a 50 footer and misses by a mile.

Hard to believe the ref called that foul.
And that BS call was about 10 or 15 seconds after a BS charge call that should have been a block giving Wiscy FTs with a 1 point lead. If I’m Gard, there‘s no way I get through the post-game presser without drawing a fine.

Rough start losing the first 3 matches, but didn't give up bonus points to Caliendo at least.

Feldman gets revenge on Kueter

10-9 headed back up to 125, Bouzakis off to a hot start

Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 20 Straight B1G Titles)

great question Calibuck
So this practice you describe has been called stacking and sometimes can offer an underdog team enough advantage to upset a stronger opponent.
The practice violates NCAA sportsmanship codes so NCAA has added some boundaries to protect the integrity of the lineup system.
Each player on a teams roster has a UTR Universal tennis ranking and a wtn (ranking system used by ITA).
I have read that coaches are required to show evidence from team challenge matches to justify their lineup when jumping a player w lower UTR or WTN above a higher UTR.
In dual meets coaches submit lineups in advance and in ita and ncaa tournaments opposing coaches have the right to challenge the submitted lineup. If challenge is successful the lineup is adjusted accordingly.
This seems to offer a better correction for attempts to stack.
I'm glad I re read this because I was gonna be one of "those" people lol . I originally read it saying utr is used by the ncaa.. But they switched to wtn as the official ranking either last year or 2024.

I almost had to become heavily invovled with wtn but I pushed back a little against it.

BuckeyePlanet Calls for Aid! -- Let this be the hour!

I honestly would love a BP discord channel. I know it wouldn't be the same but it sure hell would make a fun game time channel

I'd be willing to host BP members in a discord just to see how it goes. If it's a BWM fest, then at least we would know how the experiment goes.

Hell, I'd be happy to stream my game screen when I'm home and able.
