Just sayin':
1. The last year Miami lost less than 3 games was in 2003 (they were 11-2); which was their last year in the Big East.

2. "Nine and three Mario" has a familiar ring to it.

From what I’ve heard OSU is done.

There is an additional window now for Miami and Indiana kids. I just wouldn’t expect any more moves from OSU here.

OSU is looking at one OL. Could be more as well if they see someone from Miami or IU - although i highly doubt it.

Just sayin': I'm just guessing that he knew he wasn't going to beat out Montgomery, Tshabola, Padilla, and VanSickle for an OG position. In his case I don't think it was about NIL money. He had already earned his degree at Ohio State in "sport industry". He had one more year of eligibility left; so he "took a chance" and transferred to his home state team. He just wanted an opportunity for more playing time in his final year in college.

OSU could have definitely used him this year.

Imagine what Malachi Toney would pull in the portal

Malachi Toney's NIL value is exploding as Hurricanes plan to make freshman centerpiece in 2026 season​

Keeping Toney on the roster is a must if Mario Cristobal and the 'Canes are planning a return trip to the CFP​

Toney was Miami's "first priority outside of quarterback" for its 2026 roster plan, and keeping him away from the transfer portal -- along with several other key returning contributors -- was paramount toward next year's goal of winning the ACC and getting back to the playoff.

College football's single transfer portal window this cycle closed last week, but players from Miami and Indiana have a five-day NCAA extension to make themselves available if they choose. The additional window begins on Tuesday, and heading into the finale, Indiana had already lost 10 players to the portal while Miami had eight departures with more expected this week.

"Malachi loves it here ... he dreamed of playing here," Michael Irvin told CBS Sports after the game. "I'm not worried about Malachi. We've got a great base of (talent). And we're going to get a (great) quarterback."

Toney's compensation is expected to be in same ballpark of new Texas pass-catcher Cam Coleman, an Auburn transfer this cycle, and Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, among other top-end wide receivers.

"Whatever number you had in mind ... more," one source told CBS Sports prior to Monday's game.

Just sayin': I have no doubt that his family and/or NIL agent has been contacted and offered a good sum of NIL money if he entered the transfer portal and committed to their school by "unofficial representatives" of other schools. He knows what he could get by transferring and Miami will more than match it.

Sure would have been nice if he played right guard for the good guys. Not sure exactly what happened, but the Buckeyes definitely could have used him this year

Congratulations Zen!

We are upset by that but there’s no guarantee we even win in over time. Indiana had been in numerous games like that this year and they always landed on the right side of things.

Odds we win in OT probably weren’t as good as we think. Undoubtedly we needed to win that game to avoid Miami who was just a bad matchup

If they even made it to OT. Indiana was so fucking clutch this year -- I bet they would have gotten a GW fg in regulation. They just got it done every damn time.

You don't even wanna talk about prop taxes to a Jersey dude.. WE SUCK
