2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

How many pieces of the ‘23 team would’ve still been there if the ‘21 and ‘22 teams had not cheated?

Would Underwood be there without the cheating?

They benefited from cheating not just all the way through ‘23, but all the way through ‘24 and even into this season

The hammer has a lot of work to do to restore balance

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

Unfortunately the money has now become more important than the quality of education that the "student"- athletic gets.

The schools have so over inflated the price of the education that everyone has to reconsider the ROI of a college degree now.

Don’t blame NIL, athletes or parents.

Cincinnati Reds (2025 is our year! Haha thats actually funny)

The Reds are funny. If their hitting is good their pitching isn't. And vice versa. And then sometimes it's the defense. Y'all aint never got 2 things that match. Cereal, no milk. Ham, no burger
Said another way; fucking losers will always find a way to lose.

OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

Figured we might have a shot at Powell, Davidson was a pipe dream, shocked Clemson is his destination though.

This is the trend though, we are gonna end up with scraps after everyone else is done feasting. Get ready for some obscure big man from the Horizon league to get "excited" about.
Well the article from March 27 stated OSU had a zoom meeting with Christoph Tilly, 7-foot 225# center from Santa Clara who averaged 12 ppg and 4.9 rpg last season en route to 2nd-team all WCC. I don't think Tilly is what we need. Pharrel Payne (A&M) is in the portal, he's 6'9" 230#, could be kind of what we need, but he could follow Buzz Williams.

Nick Davidson, the one big man that Eleven Warriors said OSU was recruiting, just committed to Clemson. :panic:
Jonathan Powell committed to UNC.

2025 Spring Practices, Spring Game, and other Tidbits

No inside info, just my observation from afar. It did seem a bit risky seeing there’s only three qbs. The hope is Julian lives up to his billing; Lincoln turned out to be competent; and Tavien grows up quickly.

None of these seems to be guarantees, but all are plausible though. If Dylan can perform well in Nebraska, no reason not to hope 2nd year Julian or even Tavien (with time to develop) be as good, if not better.

To me, toughness in QB means get first down when the team needs it. As tough as Krenzel, he didn’t try to be the toughest on every play, just when the team needs. I hope and believe Julian is smart enough to realise that.

I can understand Day’s plan though. If none of these three pans out, then a re-evaluation of the QB selection might be warranted.

If smth was right, then I am happy because great defence can carry the team far.

Questioning Julian’s toughness is a bit of more hanging fruit though. Did he have anything to back it up? Being handsome doesn’t equal soft. Just look at Joe Burrow.

I honestly can’t see how Ryan can do better in terms of coaching, coaching team management, and roster management. I’m cautiously optimistic about this year’s team. Go bucks!
That’s eventually what Smith said…

Said that’s fine but that means we need to be good at running the ball and then you go play action deep to Smith etc. not to mention utilizing the TEs.

Awful risky to only have 3 QBs with none proven but if we can get QB figured out we’ll be right there again
