Win, no matter the cost.

I won't say Pandora's box is opened. But CFB has been slowly selling its soul for money the last 30 years. The last 15 years have seen that pace accelerated.

This is only the natural conclusion, the singularity, that the sport is reaching. The NCAA didn't want to punish scUM because it boiled down to money.

Yet only now, the integrity of the game is somehow at stake.

Bunch of clowns; from the NCAA, TTU, the boosters, down to the local judge.

So sorry @Mike80 and @AKAK. We just said goodbye to our 15+ year old mutt

The best therapy to deal with losing a pet.. is to get another very soon...
In fact, getting a puppy in the last year of your existing pet.. will be immense therapy for the troops..
First hand experience.. the new pup will sense sadness and will come to the rescue...
You won't forget how much your pup meant to the family.. it's a rough go.. much worse than non-pet owners understand...

Highly recommend this, and if it doesn't fit into your life, it's okay to do it on whatever timing makes sense.

We wanted a young dog in the final 1-2 years of my elder dog's life. He adored his older sister, but in his golden years he did not want an effervescent young dog, so we respected that. It also made it much easier to adopt an adorable new rescue dog shortly after he passed.

Grief is a personal and long road. It does straighten and flatten out though.

Good point. Ohio State hasn't been burned, yet, by any busts. But have we had any busts, recently?

The OL from Rice was as close as I can think of.

A couple of transfers have been underwhelming but I wouldn't call them "busts".

Affirmative. They have a YouTube channel called Buckeye Insiders

I know a bar in Chicago where that can very easily be arranged.

Well, UC did know about Sorsby gambling before last year. Maybe they didn’t know the extent of the gambling.

As for TT, Sorsby is ineligible per the NCAA, so they can play him at their risk. There was some other case like this and the NCAA took away wins despite the injunction.

Yeah but like TSUN was going to if they took away the ship I doubt TT will give 2 shits about vacated wins if they go anywhere this year

If that’s true then it is what it is. If he chooses Tennessee for non monetary reasons what can you do.

zbuck said:

Are you referencing the upcoming 2026 games or the games played in the past ? It would be so on brand for the NCAA to punish Indiana and UC (who had no idea of his issues) and let TT move forward.

My racquetball story... in my 20s I was really getting good.. so I entered a tournament...
I hit some of the most devastating kill shots of my life... only to watch my kill shots not only returned but true kill shots in return of my kill shots...

The difference between me and truly good racquetballers was planetary... I got crushed... Did not win a match..
Reality can be such a mean concept

It seems like the CBJ are out of the running. That’s ok. It also seems like someone is going to massively overpay for a borderline (statistically) 1st center with injury issues.

If the NCAA wins their appeal, I do believe they will take all wins in which Sorsby plays, as he would have been ineligible.

Did Tom go with him?

Grabbed this from 11W. Interesting approach by the family, if true.

Austin Price (VOLQUEST) was asked
OSU mod said that the family is handling all financial offers and letting DGG pick regardless of $$$. “David doesn’t know any of the NIL offers”
Any truth to that?
Price response
Yes he hasn’t been part of money talks

I read a comment on 11 Warriors saying the NCAA should upfront declare an auto forfeit of any game he appears in, as well as make them ineligible for the CFP. Interesting take

Which will immediately get taken to court and they will get an injunction which will bring us right back here. The NCAA needs get it out of courts that have contributions directly from the town/state involved but they cannot do so without either collective bargaining or Congress or both.

And the courts don't care about the case really they could drop it or rule against it after the season but oopsie he played all season anyways,

I bass fish, make fishing lures, and do redneck shit.

We don't deserve dogs. Tomorrow is going to be a hard day for me, and it'll be even harder for my son Matthew, and my daughter, Ella.

They grew up with Sophie. Ella was 9 and Matthew was 7 when we got her. She's been there when things have been great, when things have been rough, when my mother unexpectedly passed away. Through COVID and divorces and injuries and stress and everything.

Total love. That's what a dog is....and that's all she ever wanted.

Tomorrow is going to be a hard day.

I'm incredibly sorry for you and yours. I'm still a bit broken after looking our pup a couple of years ago. I'll be praying for your peace.
