2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)


TL/DR - sec wants 16 team payoff starting this fall. BigTen wants it to move to 24 teams in three years. sec doesn’t want that so it can keep their conference championship game. And if BigTen and sec can’t agree by Friday it stays at 12 teams next season.

Women's Pro Golf

Just another tidbit. Teaching pro once told me to watch the women golfers, not the men. Why, because the men hit such outrageously long shots, both drives and irons, while the women hit more comparable shots to we non-professional golfers. Used to be true, but now the women are banging their drivers much longer (than me certainly), and their short games are simply top notch, versus mine....anyway, even the HS players hit the ball further than I do. Watched the US Open qualifier at our course, and these guys were hitting driver, five iron to the opening par 5, and their tee box was almost touching the back shrubs. In case you're wondering, I hit driver, 3 wood, and from a 7 to an 8 into the green, depending on the wind. Believe the low qualifier shot a 63 from the tips....

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

Couple nice body bag wins for the netsters. Just a thought, saw that had away games at Baylor and Penn St two days apart. Is there enough room on the Buckeye jet to accommodate all of the tennis players? Might be a more economical way to get from those to those in two days. Don't know if tOSU has a stretch Lear, or somesuch that can take a dozen or so folk.....

C Christoph Tilly (Official Thread)

Not great insight, but Tilly has to start hitting his shots, in order to draw out opposing big to guard him. Kinda basic stuff. If tOSU needs him to shoot three's, we're in a whole lot of trouble. Do enjoy his 'jump hook', of sorts, and is effective when he gets ball 3-4 feet away from basket. He is forcing their bigs to shield him off of the boards, allowing Bynum and Devin to swoop in and flush the ball.....Hopefully he stays healthy, and Noel comes back soon. Any word on Noel's 'foot injury'?

PF A'mare Bynum (Official Thread)

Certainly have zero knowledge of how Bynum plays in practice, but he sure let's it all hang out in games. His time as 'sixth man' was abbreviated, as Noel got injured, elevating him to starter. Well, don't believe he will be relegated to the bench when Noel heals up. And don't believe he deserves to be as well. See an energy in him that not readily apparent in the other front court players. Might be a lamppost for other Buckeye recruits, in that you play and make plays, you're gonna get more and more minutes...

2026 BRPT Class Review

Hey, most of you guys are closer to the heart of Buckeye football than those of us on the Left Coast. Soooo, we'll take anything Buckeye oriented we can find. I agree, some of the 'classic' reporters (whatever happened to Wade?), did a great job of coordinating with others to do the four-pronged report, and added just enough difference. Will read any and every Buckeye outlook printed....Maybe a special section?

Go Bucks! And chuckled at the transfer portal bit. Given what we've seen, EVERYONE could be listed there, given the outrageous amounts of cash being thrown at these guys. Might opine that tOSU had so many transfer because of their/our proclivity to NOT pay outrageous sums to 18 year old recruits, but if one makes two-deep, etc then their money goes up. And that the three and four deep guys, leave, certainly for playing time, but for more cash.....would be interesting (to me at least), if some stalwart blogger would corner one of the transferees and ask what they're taking in versus what they did at tOSU.....
