Wouldn't matter. Moments after extraction, they'd stick their heads right back in.

So the guy who has leveraged averaging 4.3 seconds per game over his basketball career at tOSU (No, I did not do any statistical analysis. I made that number up.) into a career has decided tOSU fans (who helped make his career) are the worst in the world? If it were not for tOSU fans supporting him, especially early, does he really think he would currently have the career he has? How much experience does he have with the other fan bases?

And no, I am not defending the idiots in tOSU fanbase. But as has been mentioned earlier in this thread and many other threads tOSU has the largest fanbase in the world. Which means we may well have the largest number of idiots. But the largest percentage? Not necessarily. But we appear to have the largest number of former walk-ons who never saw the court except in meaningless time and who have turned that meaningless time into a career and are now taking pot shots at the fans who supported them. (Talk about a run on sentence.)

Now get off my lawn!

If he absorbs all the technical aspects LJS teaches him, he makes the effort and puts the time in the weight room it doesn’t seem absurd to think he could get meaningful run this season at least in obvious passing downs.

He looks like a weapon already. Didn’t realize how much of a dude he was.

I want him to succeed, I really do. Seems like a good dude who’s been so committed to the program which is why I hate saying - is there any reason to think he brings more than last season?

Will Art Smith better emphasize underneath routes for him while Henry and Smith command an insane amount of attention?

Well done!

Believe that Diebs will be looking for a seasoned PG, and a C in the portal. After watching the Buckeyes this season, and seeing how much Thornton did, cannot really project Mobley, Chatman, or Cupps replacing him. Losing Tilly and Noel hurts, as am more of a Tilly supporter than most. Maybe Noel gets a medical redshirt? Not certain what entails, but think he'd be support, but not a primetime player. Anyway, see things most the same way as others above, Bynum is going to be tested with the NIL portal, and all the 'tampering' that is going to go on.

No one thinks Noel is going to get another year. Both G and C they have major needs. I think they do have flexibility to put Mobley at the 1 as long as they get a guard who can pair well with him by being strong in the areas Mobley isn't particularly strong (defense, size, length, strength, ability to get to the foul line). Ideally they get a tough, athletic, strong big man who can pass the ball and can hit the 3, although Ojianwuna may be able to do most of those things.

Just take a chill pill or step away from the keyboard. The whims of a 17 year old and the reporting us such really have no bearing on my life.

I like the fact that we cruised while Wiscy had a real soap battle on their hands.

4th straight Ohio State v. Wisconsin final. We're 1-2 in the last three.

Our 5th straight appearance in the championship game; we're 2-2 in the last four.

There might be some swimming or track teams that did something similar before or after the war, but this might be the greatest run by any Ohio State team in history.

Guess what am talking about are the public media, of "Ohio State 5* going to visit Texas" type of stuff. If fake news, my bad, wife laughs at me when I take the written word seriously. Hey, hope he's solid to tOSU. But if I were in demand, I'd take these trips, just to see what else is out there. And as Yogi used to say, "it's not over until it's over".

31 points and 27 rebounds for Taris Reed against Furman. Basically carried the team. Uconn isn't going very far if the rest of the team plays this bad again. They were terrible shooting the ball against St Johns in the Big East tourney game too.

That’s the first 30 pt/25 rebound game in the tournament since Elvin Hayes in 1968.

ODOT staff recommending $35 million in state funding for roads near new Browns stadium

Public records show ODOT staffers are suggesting a $35 million award for Brook Park. That’s nearly a quarter of the $150 million that the TRAC, a state council, is expected to award this spring.

Interesting article on Mendez's mental approach.

My DVR glitched or something, I had it on record and it just didn't record. So pissed off to have missed both of Davino and Mendez matches. Really glad they could pull off wins in dramatic fashion, hopefully they can both bring it home tomorrow...really tough opponents in both weights.

As far as the team overall...not a great showing. Looking like 4th is the best we can do. Some of it is health it seems with injuries on the guys already mentioned, so its hard to be too upset. We weren't placing in the top two anyways, so the team race is kind of an afterthought this year. Just hoping for the best individual outcomes. Glad to have 2 in the finals.

My main thing when people say Diebler can't win with the financial commitment the progrum currently has is Diebler is not the kind of coach who anyone wants to invest in
