3 straight misplayed bunts and the 7 straight walks are two little league level happenings in the same season....and it's just now June.

If we had an owner that cared, they might take that as a sign that said owner employs unserious people.

Don't worry about the integrity issue. We all know that's bullshit. Look at this as an opportunity to kick Texas Tech in the balls. Fuck them and their oil money.

My eyes roll out of my head when I hear/read people talking about the "integrity" of college football. It's barely ever had any at all.

Re: Sorsby admitted to placing at least 9,000 impermissible bets (exceeding $90,000) on his team’s games while being a member of Indiana football program in 2022

Just sayin': Yeah, but those "micro bets" really added up. The NCAA rules on betting apply to all members of the team, i.e. not just the QB1 and/or just to all players listed in the "2 deep" lineup.

Click to expand...

While Sorsby was enrolled at Indiana from June 2022 to December 2023, he acknowledged making at least 2,900 bets that totaled more than $30,000.

Between Sept. 2, 2022 and Oct. 22, 2022, Sorsby made at least 40 wagers on Indiana football and/or individual members of the team. According to the documents, the bets ranged from $1 to $114 and totaled at least $850.

Hmmh, would have been nice if they’d come up with that idea when a certain BIG school was proven at an institutional level to have cheated its way to three conference titles and a national championship in football.

For science:

2-1 Knicks. Is it a series now (I honestly haven't watched a second of it)?

I'm only here to ask for a change to the Thread Title. I know we have some creative individuals on this site who may be able to help update things with a more appropriate Title.

Glanced at the weather app on my phone and it tells me the real feel is 101 here in NE OH. It isn't even summer yet!

Believe it was Shakespeare that coined the 'great unwashed', but whomever said, means the common person. And while I bathe semi-regularly, do consider myself a common person. Joe Sixpack just doesn't resonate as much. Anyway, if you follow the market, Big Oil is doing well during these times. Countries without our oil reserves, not so much.

You could have the largest oil reserves in the world but if the people who occupy the land above it doesn't have the know how to extract, refine and ship it, doesn't do them much good.

A lot of hyperbole as people line up to show who can be more outraged and clutch their pearls over the "integrity" of CFB is all I see.

The guy made micro bets at IU when he was buried in the depth chart and had no influence on games, never bet on his team at UC or TT. That fact pattern does not equal 1919 Black Sox or Pete Rose.

Reality is more that the sport of CFB has always lacked "integrity" depending on how you define that or how far you want to play that charade. What people are actually upset about is the TT oil booster just blatantly buying the program into relevance whether that be buying players via NIL or local judges for a ruling. It feels like he's cheating but under the new rules, he isn't.

Floating the idea of refusing to play the TT women's soccer team over this is as absurd as the judges ruling.

He mentioned he was offered 10 mill to transfer and somewhere I saw he made 2.5 or something last year. While I don't think OSU matched you'd think they would have to at least up their present number.

Just sayin': I know that you can't always believe what is reported; however, here is what was reported....

Ohio State Splashes $5M on Jeremiah Smith; Forces Program to Extend Roster Value to $43.5M​

The Ohio State Buckeyes put together a reported $5 million package to keep star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith in Columbus. It shows how far programs are now willing to go in the NIL era. Smith’s reported package became one major piece of a much costlier Ohio State roster, which is now valued at nearly $43.5 million.

Think of a team like a family budget, where the entire Ohio State roster cost around $35 million last year. When rival schools wave $10 million offers to poach your best player, securing Smith sets a new baseline for everyone else. This dynamic forced the Buckeyes to stretch their total roster value to nearly $43.5 million just to keep their championship core intact.

At this point, the WR is a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. He recorded 1,243 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in 13 games. He became one of the few Buckeyes to cement 1000 yards in 2 back-to-back seasons. However, the youngster still displays loyalty towards his team and aims to win a College Football Playoff national championship with the Buckeyes. One of the main schools rumored to be hellbent on making Smith jump ship is the WR’s hometown, Miami.
