and to help explain why Ubet is such a confused individual:
the Westbank is due South of the Eastbank.
but to get to the Westbank from the Eastbank, you have to drive due East.

and people wonder why Louisiana is last in Education.

So to give anyone directions to his house, @Gatorubet was required to be excessively verbose (or provide 12 pages of mapquest printouts), and the rest was history.

Not disagreeing with that point, but even if it was Fielding's issue it has no bearing on kicking a FG from 45 or in. He's no Nugent, but he is perfectly capable of that. He could miss it under pressure, sure. But that is a better percentage play unless we have zero faith in Fielding...if that is the case, color me concerned.

Oh they were very clearly playing for a FG at the buzzer Saturday night. I don't think it's a confidence issue in Fielding per se.

I really do think the corner kicks were intentional, especially the first one. Kinda like golf - you try to hit a lay up and miss it. Well dammit, I'm trying again and miss it. Since it's a beautiful sunny day and no one is behind you, well, try it again sort of thing.

In the Marshall game, it was clear Marshall wasn't going to win, so working on something like that makes sense at a certain level. not sure I try it 3 times myself but it is what it is.....

Sure thing bro.

Please continue with the character assassination then. As I've said, it's on point for the "fan"base.
Click to expand...
"Character assassination" please. I'm sorry that pointing out Ryan Day's failures bothers you, but you (and everyone else) should be uncomfortable with what continues happening in these games, particularly at the end. He is consistently failing his team in the biggest moments of the biggest games. Maybe you are content being a rich man's Penn State, but others want and expect more - and they should.

But please keep telling more about Vegas odds as if that has a goddamn thing to do with what happened during a game and how we should evaluate the performance of a player or coach. You think Vegas odds show up in their game grades? You think Vegas odds show up in coaches' performance reports?

I genuinely cannot believe such a take even exists. My God.

Duane Washington Headed Back to Serbia After a Nice NBA Bonus​

After finishing last season with the Knicks, Washington agreed to sign with Partizan in July; the Belgrade-based club later confirmed the deal in August. However, the Knicks – who still held Washington’s Early Bird rights – required him as a sign-and-trade asset for salary-matching purposes in their trade for Karl-Anthony Towns.
Partizan Belgrade received a buyout in exchange for allowing Washington out of his contract, while the 24-year-old secured a $2.16MM guaranteed salary from the Hornets for his involvement in the Towns trade. He spent a week with Charlotte, then was waived last Wednesday, clearing the way for him to rejoin Partizan.

That is a high level basketball club in Serbia. He will be joining Carlik Jones out of the Cincinnati area, former ACC player of the year, G League MVP, who spent a minute in the NBA, and had a really nice Olympics run with South Sudan this past summer (think he also beat the Buckeyes when he was playing for Radford). Interested to see how those two do together, and whether one of them gets a call back to the NBA.

CB Jermaine Mathews, Jr. (Official Thread)

Unless there is some off the field issue or issues in practice, there is no excuse for this under the circumstances. Burke is probably the better player most days, but he certainly was not that night. I would even submit that Mathews should have been playing some even if Burke was killing it to keep guys fresh and because he is that good.

reminiscent of Holtmann and how he would get stuck on certain guys and never sub even when they were struggling thus leading to guys getting frustrated and leaving

In regards to the rest of the schedule, I believe in the old saying "when a team consistently shows you what they are, you believe them".

I'm nearly 100 percent certain OSU wins out the rest of the regular season and qualifies for the Big ten cg. Lose to PSU? Not gonna happen, James Franklin will make sure of that. Michigan? Please.

The issue is what happens next, just can't find the confidence to believe the Bucks will do much beyond that. My best guess is 11-3 or 12-3 with a first round or quarterfinal exit.

You’re right, I just re-watched it and he was, and the ref was clearly signaling that. My memory was from the opposite side of the stadium. So the starting before the snap makes more sense.

Which means they really should have known and really had to be faster on snapping that ball.

I haven‘t read the whole game thread yet, but I‘ve been through the last 3 minutes of the game.

Day should have called his 2 timeouts on defense before the 2-minute stoppage. They would have kicked their FG as the clock went under 2 minutes then, rather than at 1:47. Then tOSU would have had 10 to 12 more seconds and still the 1 timeout. This isn’t Tuesday-morning QB’ing, I was saying ‘call timeout’ it in the stands as the guy was being tackled with 2:12 left.

Regarding the play-calling on the final drive, I thought it was OK. They got to the 28-yard line with 34 seconds left and a timeout. On the next play, Howard threw deep, but the play call wasn’t the problem, it was the read. Gee Scott was open crossing on the 20-yard line and it probably would have gotten a first down, which would have been within range with time to get a little closer and put the ball in the middle before calling the timeout. That decision, followed by the OPI on the next play, were obviously both crucial.

It doesn’t make sense that after a play that was incomplete, stopping the clock, a play that ended up out of bounds (which would stop the clock again) but ends up being penalized and having that down run again, has the clock start before the next snap, but apparently those are the rules. Too bad the ref didn’t say ‘clock will start on my signal’ as he was marking off the penalty, as we often hear. But Day and Howard shouldn’t have allowed 6 seconds to run before the next snap.

And since the 12-men penalty came after the Oregon timeout, it was clearly intentional and the clock should have been put back to 10 seconds as they marked off that penalty, which is up to the judgment of the referee.

2024 tOSU Defense Discussion

RB07OSU
Coaching malpractice across the board. But on defense, even if Walton controls substitutions or Knowles does, I am pissed in general considering the talent on this defense. Constantly running schemes that clearly are not working, no pressure at all and when there is nobody gets home, missed tackles everywhere, blowing man coverage after looking like we perfected it last year...I don't know the answer but I expect our coaches to because it is a high paid job to figure out.
