So this is it.... (or is it?)

Donate a $100 and you get to pick one name to ban.

Let's make this fun

Seriously though, let me know on a number. If it's cost @heisman ~100k over 3 years that's like a 3k per month KTLO?

gotta be a way to come up with that between what 50-60 guys here? That's at least 200 points of IQ between us.

Come on damnit, think!!

Ohio State Women's Basketball (2023-24 B1G CHAMPS)

calibuck
Agreed, both bigs are improving. Elsa, started playing like she wanted 'the last pork chop on the plate', and got down with it. Kitts seems to have a way about her, always around the ball, and coming up with it more and more. Very refreshing. One thing, do wish that both would get more elevation when they rebound. Not certain their vertical rise is all that good. a 6'6" player could play at 8-9' if they jumped. Just saying....

The number on the left is the number of games I probably would watch or listen to this season if not for the new challenge head tap rule for balls and strikes. I've seen it at Clippers games. I think I'll be good after a couple games, when the luster wears off, just to see the new thing in mlb. Why invest 6 months.

I might say the same but since summers a long hot sumbitch without the occasional thing to laugh at!

2027 VA OL Carter Jones (Clemson Verbal)

calibuck
I wonder, do our coaches have an amount allocated to them to spend, or is there a running balance that needs be drawn upon when looking at recruits. Do the coaches spend a huge amount on one player, and then use the rest of their NIL to build depth, with lesser lights? Or is the strategy kept under wraps like nuclear launch codes? Anyone got some insight?

I've reached out to heisman. Things are very different for me than they were 3-5 years ago, and I feel far more able to keep the gerbils fed so the wheel keep turning. I'm sentimental in my old age, knowing online fora are dinosaurs, but when I got a text this morning about the site shutting down it was a kick in the stomach (so much personal history here, not just for me but many others). Have made and lost very close friends here, we've all lived and cheered and mourned through so much.

tOSU Recruiting Discussion

calibuck
On a strictly numbers standpoint, tOSU is getting crushed. Also from a talent level. Believe there are a couple of pearls there, but not enough to provide competent back-ups where there are now gaping holes (see WR, DB, OL, DL). Wonder if the lack of OL transfers in indicate that Day & Co feel that tOSU can field a better OL with current players, and guys with zero chance to see the field are looking elsewhere? Thought we'd see a top flight OT(LT) enter the fray, but not certain they're available, and if so, not for us. Am too long in the tooth to really worry that there's zero K on the roster, and or two upcoming classes have been gutted, and replaced with one year players. OK, might have exaggerated a tad, yeah, I'm worried.....

2024 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

calibuck
Might suggest that now the Players have learned the rules of this new game. Some of the players go to smaller schools and excel, and then leverage their 'minor league' experience to the bigger/better teams via the portal. Others sign with, and get the training from, the better schools, with better coaches/facilities, etc and then leverage THAT into more NIL cash. Some are taking their skillset and contributions, and looking around to see where they can make a bigger impact (look at the QB carousel). Someone wiser than I might see how many QBs in the playoffs are with the team they originally sign with. And do a correlation with their original NIL $, versus what they're pulling in now....

Buckeye Planet NOT shutting down (Plum Diamonds)

RugbyBuck
Apr 29, 2004. People talk about needing a third-place. That place between work and home (and, often, in this case at work). I've had a few in- person places (teams, pubs, clubs) over the past 22 years, but this has been the only virtual and continuing one since I was 34 (oh, but that math is painful). It also became IRL along the way for which I will forever be grateful. Thank you, Clarity, mods/admins, and Heisman. If there's a way to keep things going, I'd be in, but sometimes you have to let good things just be what they were and appreciate that. I really do.

Buckeye Planet NOT shutting down (Plum Diamonds)

buckeyeintn
Count me as one who will make a monthly contribution (in addition to the current $79 $49 subscription price).

I was fortunate enough to hear about this site shortly after the founders made the move from Bucknuts. Along with this being my only source for Buckeyes info I've been fortunate enough to meet a couple of you clowns in person, and a couple others with online conversations. Josh even guided me through getting a 75" tv years ago and showed me the benefits of belonging to Costco for electronics purchases. I am indebted to Clarity, Deety (RIP) and numerous others for their invaluable contributions, not to mention Heisman stepping in to save the site last time it was in trouble.

S Faheem Delane (transfer to LSU)

calibuck
Took me a while to connect the dots, but gotta agree. Of the 30 (currently) tOSU entrants into the portal, about 20 have found a new home. Being part of the Buckeyes, perennial contender, and by all accounts, very highly coached team, these young ones are doing what Thump implies, and using their training to leverage themselves into a starting position (?), and in all probability, more NIL loot. To whilst these RS sophomores, and sophomores are leaving, they are gutting at least two upcoming classes, and forcing tOSU to pick up some one and two year eligible players from other teams. And if I look at my crystal ball, the Buckeyes are going to lose many of their starters to the NFL after the 2026 year, and don't really see much 'coming up' the ranks to fill in, having learned the systems in place. Probably being an Eeyore here, but my brain is telling me one thing, and my gut another. Not entirely certain yet whether this team-catharsis will pay dividends, or not. Time will tell. Anyway, Go Bucks!
