HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

Ryan Day likely needs an overhaul at the coaching spots on both OL and DL, preferably with younger talent that would chew nails and spit glass. But, that's what every team needs, those dudes don't grow on trees. Frye can't recruit. LJ can recruit his ass off but now, can't coach? Ouch.

This is an aside, so mods feel free to move, but I really don't think we need to go young with positional coaches, especially on the line. I look at a guy like Brian Callahan with Minnesota, who is 55'ish, and how he has consistently developed top tier OL...John Michael Schmitz, Faalele, Ersery...and that was 3 straight years. Schmitz wasn't even a top 1000 kid, Faalele was a 3*/low 4*, Ersery was a 3* barely a top 1000 kid. We really don't have to think too hard or re-invent the wheel when you're OSU...look at who is consistently doing what you want to do, and get them.

Game Thread #2 tOSU at #3 Oregon, Sat. Oct. 12, 7:30 pm ET, NBC

I do genuinely hope there is a rematch at some point this year to get revenge on bullshit tactics like that though (among many other reasons).
So I think if Ohio State wins out, they SHOULD be in the Big Ten Championship game.
Undefeated teams are Indiana, Oregon, and Penn State. If Ohio State wins out, that would give losses to Indiana and Penn State. And if the tie-breakers work the way they should, Ohio State would have the tie-breaker over Indiana and Penn State.
1-loss teams Nebraska, Iowa, and *ichigan will work out, too, since Iowa already has a loss to Ohio State, and Nebraska and *ichigan are on Ohio State's schedule, giving them 2 losses.
That just leaves Illinois and Wisconsin to worry about. Illinois has to play at Oregon. That should knock them down to 2 losses.
Wisconsin also has to play Oregon and they also play Penn State. Both are home games for Wisconsin, but I would imagine that we can count on Wisconsin losing one of those.
The only thing that might get goofy is some 3-way tie where we need to worry about coaches' wives' bra size, or something.

Jake Diebler (Head Coach)

HOOPS, HOOPS. HOOPS. Ohio is a football state. But I think — I think! — basketball is the second-favorite sport among most Ohioans. I could be off in that assumption, but that’s how I see it. And if that assumption is correct, I think those in the Buckeye State will love what Jake Diebler has cooked up for the future.

According to Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch, Diebler organized a Zoom call with Cincinnati coach Wes Miller, Dayton coach Anthony Grant and Xavier coach Sean Miller to discuss the potential of a tournament involving all four programs.

“As someone who grew up in Ohio and is a product of the basketball culture here in Ohio, to get these four programs together, it just made too much sense,” Diebler told Jardy. “Being the head coach at Ohio State, I believe you have a responsibility to keep pushing the basketball community to grow and anything we can do to help that in our state is important.”

Diebler said Wes Miller, Grant and Sean Miller have the same desire.

“I think all four of us are board figuring out a way to continue this,” Diebler said. “If it’s these off-site deals, if we could travel throughout the state and do it, I think we’re all open to seeing where this could go, which I believe it’s going to be really, really impactful. We’re already seeing it’s going to be impactful this year but has the potential to grow.”

Things I’d love to see: this.

But here’s what I’d love to see more: Get all the Division I programs involved. That could be too tall a task for Diebler and Co. to tackle off the bat, but if this tournament ever comes to fruition, I’d want to see Akron, Bowling Green, Cleveland State, Kent State, Miami, Ohio, Toledo, Youngstown State and Wright State in there, too. That would be a great tournament – one much better than the Emerald Coast Classic or whatever it is the Buckeyes won last year.

Love your idea, I'd pay to watch that.
