Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

When a player announces he is transferring and also says "do not contact" what does that mean?

Are schools only supposed to contact the agent?

Is the player simply wanting to renegotiate with his current school?

Has he already decided where he is going?

Something else entirely?
From what I have gathered, it means he already knows where he is going.

2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

Since I'm a glutton for punishment, I went back to watch the first four drives to see how consistent the silent count timing was, as it relates to Miami being capable of timing the snap.

Amateur timer here with a cell phone app. I stopwatched it from when Luke gave the ready signal to when Carson snapped it.

On the pick six, bain was a yard off the ball and moving forward before the snap began. He hesitated a moment, otherwise he probably could have hit the ball before it fully left Julian's hand.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

I think the proper way to look at 2025 was fools gold. The offense should have been the issue with a new QB, new oline and running backs. What was not expected was the way the defense played. They were way way above expectation, to the point it looked like the team was unstoppable.

It really was a rebuilding year, hidden beneath a better than expected year. I for one believed there would be a serious drop off for a season, but I bought in that maybe there was something more. There maybe was and wasn't.

What did we learn. Sayin showed promise, but understandably needs more time. The running backs for sure need more time. The offensive line needs more time.

Now, OSU is at a unexpected place where the defense did so well that starter who we believed would be here for the 2026 season are gone, and they are looking at a rebuilding, and the offense may hit its stride.

Interesting times. Hope JJ doesn't bolt.
Agreed with this mostly. No stats to back this up whatsoever but I'd bet Ohio State was probably the least experienced team in the playoffs or at least close to it. The final four are teams filled with grown men. Sayin with another year under his belt probably beats Miami by 2TDs or more due to seeing open receivers better and knowing how to avoid pressure. Probably doesn't throw that pick six either.

When you think about it more rationally, it's probably a miracle the offense wasn't fucked more given the immense amount of talent lost.

Non-Playoff Bowl Games Discussion Thread

ESPNs ever so great FPI has 5-7 Miss State ranked 17 SPOTS above 8-4 Wake Forest lol. You'll have people from the same company that uses the FPI to pimp the SEC still claiming this was a mismatch favoring Wake Forest though even though their own biased ranking system says otherwise
The truth is what you spin over and over again….
