OC/WR Coach Brian Hartline (National Champion, HC at USF, Buckeye OC for this postseason)

I just hope he is fully engaged through this playoff run.

He’s going to kill it down here, it’s a great place to start out as HC. The team couldn’t come close to filling up the ray jay, but they’ve got a new smaller on campus stadium under construction. The CEO of athletics(AD) is a young, high energy, creative Tampa local and USF grad. Vinnick (Lightning owner, former Storm owner in AFL) is involved in the USF athletics.

We typically go to 1 game a year when they do faculty appreciation day. Still a great environment, student section is usually full for being so far from campus. Attendance is usually in the 30s and the new stadium is 35k seats so the environment should be rocking. Sad because I only live 10 minutes away now on surface roads and the new stadium is 30 minutes on the interstate.

2026 TX RB Legend Bey has signed!!!

delaying till friday???

Looks like it. Personally, I think he wants to see who Day hires at OC before signing, which is understandable, it will be his leader for the next 4 years. There’s no way Henry and all the other offensive weapons stuck to their commitment if they didn’t know something. Maybe he just hasn’t gotten the convo with Day yet on what’s up his sleeve.

Now if this is an NIL battle, let him walk if he wants, Coach Lock will go hard in the transfer window.

Game Thread THE GAME: #1 tOSU at tCun, Sat. Nov. 29th, 12 pm ET, FOX

4th down decisons are definitely on the HC. I can imagine it was even something like “Hey Hart, I’m thinking 4 downs here, be ready. Might be time for XYZ.” Or hell, he may have directly called it. Not a big deal.

Given what he's been through and at that moment feeling The Game up for grabs...

BH: "I am saving that play for the 4th quarter coach"
RD: "Call the fucking play Brian! Throw Him The Goddamn Ball!!"

B1G CCG: #1 tOSU vs #2 Indiana in Indy, Sat. Dec 6th, 8 ET on FOX

I can see this going like the 2014 B1G... except that we needed all the style points we could get to get into the playoff. I see Day and Hartline dialing it up some, but I think everything is contingent on the defense. He knows we should have three games after this and there's no reason to empty the gun, unless it's necessary. No reason to dump a magazine when two in the chest and one in the head will do.

I’d be shocked if it’s anything like 2014, but I’m not sure what to think of them after last season. Different years, but the same type of team that relies on perfect scheme and execution to make up for talent gaps outside of a few positions like QB. They’re definitely better this season, and have much better conference wins, plus a ton of experience.

I don’t want OSU to deviate much from what they’ve done, but hope they speed things up to gain more possessions. Otherwise it’s going to get tight unless they’re perfect in the RZ or Smith and Tate go off.

Pat Fitzgerald (HC Michigan St.)

They can't all hire Mike Locksley.

Speaking of Maryland; just under the cold oatmeal grouping of teams, you have the B1G Spam which is such pure shit I'd rather eat cold oatmeal:
Maryland
Purdue
Rutgers

Then you have the mystery meat group. Like some kind of left over meat cake thing you see in the fridge, not sure what the hell it is, might be good, might be a visit to urgent care:
UCLA
Penn State
Indiana (looks good right now but....)

So it's OSU, Oregon and sort of USC's conference right now.

Is that 16? Do we have 16 teams? I've lost count. I'm sure I forgot somebody
