This lineup couldn't fall out of a boat and hit water. But at least the $2 drafts, dollar dogs and fireworks were worth it.

St. Louis fans were cool.... except this weird duo who sat in front of us that were deliberately being dickheads.

Yeah that's pretty sweet. Never going to see that in Cincy with this ownership.

Welcome to Buckeyes Nation Cameron!!!

A little more in-depth analysis…

They can’t afford Ty Jerome so needed an established backup PG to Garland. Ball hasn’t been able to stay healthy last (3) years but they also took Tyrese Proctor in draft for depth and defensive presence.

You’ll notice both guys are 6’6” so Cavs recognized need to build defensive depth at PG behind Garland.

A little disappointing they won’t be able to retain Ty but I think a team is going to massively overpay. Also, the Cavs have an interesting short window in the East with Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton out next year with Achilles injuries. Early odds are Cavs and Knicks duking it out for Eastern Confernece.

Welcome to the Buckeye Family, Cameron!!

Welcome to the fam Cameron! A player that will eat up space and take on double teams. But patience will need to be had with him as he looks like a project that will need at least 2yrs of building college strength and working on hand placement among other things before he gets consistent PT

So, where was the university general counsel in all this? That is 100% who the fbi reaches out to. Then, he would take it to Ono and the two of them would then call in Warde and Simple Jim.

Any decent lawyer dealing with a federal sexual predator case would also keep detailed notes of these meetings. Now, with Ono, it's perfectly plausible that he would stop it right then and there so as to not disrupt the team. The finger pointing is going to be epic, and the general counsel holds the real answers.

Yeah, I was thinking about this and I guess from this perspective (and once again this particular part of this case has a real creep and real victims beyond football so I don't want to lose sight of that) I would find it very surprising if the university's (or athletics) liability carrier hadn't already deposed anyone with knowledge of Weiss's activities... At the very least "who knew what and when" - if there's anything worse than old Vegas, its insurance companies.
