All-Star Game

See, they used to take 45 of the best college seniors, and form 'em up in late July to play a game in August against the NFL Champions and once in a blue moon this group of college buckaroos would show the old beards a thing or two. But mostly it was 42 to 7 in favor of the pros.
If both sides are "adequately motivated", I think I'd take the worst NFL team over the all-stars. Maybe.
That might be how the all-stars won those few: the NFL team may not have been "adequately motivated" to win.
And if the movie "Eight Men Out" is a sign of the times (I know it's about baseball, but football is also a sport), I wonder just how "motivated" the NFL teams were.

By the way, I'm assuming this is the game Cinci is referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Charities_College_All-Star_Game

2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

If true, unless OSU matches that amount, he should totally take the bag and play for UT. They have a decent enough program to get him to the league if he is as good as advertised. Just keeping it real. That is a life changing amount of money.

However, over 3 years, I don't see how OSU can't come close to that.
You think UT would learn with Nico and Chaz maybe not do that. But stupid is as stupid does

All-Star Game

Gather round kids, while ol' cincibuck tells you about a game they used to play every August a long time ago.

See, they used to take 45 of the best college seniors, and form 'em up in late July to play a game in August against the NFL Champions and once in a blue moon this group of college buckaroos would show the old beards a thing or two. But mostly it was 42 to 7 in favor of the pros.

BUT the uniform for the All-Stars was incredible.

I'm stuck here in Ft. Worth, Texass, for a wedding and being put up at the Fort Work Club (est. 1885) a place with dress code printed out, so eastern hicks will understand that they have "standards" here in the Lone Star State. One of the features at the club is the Davey O'Brien Sports Lounge.

So, where is this going, Cinci? I hear you newbs asking.

Right here in the club is Davey's uniform from the time he was selected to play in the All Star game.
And then, as I poke around, I discover other treasures. Enjoy!

2026 Spring Practices, Spring Game, and other Tidbits

I love watching these two, Tony and Tom, and enjoying their bid heads, broad smiles, and brotherly chemistry.
I agree. Totally my favs on the beat. Especially since recruiting is less of an emphasis these days. I still think Birm is the best in the biz on the recruiting front, but for pure Buckeye entertainment value? Tom and Tony all day long.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

So, this bill in Congress essentially forces the B1G/SEC to share their media money with the poverty conferences while barring them from leaving the ncaa to do their own thing. HARD. PASS.

No, no, no.

The bill is to serve justice and stop athletes from being exploited.

Ted Cruz told me so
