Poor Lanning...

Neither of my degrees come from schools with a football team (Our Lady of the Lake and Xavier).

I kinda like it.....he's a badass recruiter and kids love him.

I doubt he can fight, but it'd be epically entertaining to see him throw down like John Calipari and John Cheney back in the day. TBH, we need more of that, not less.

I think you put him in a room with Juwan Howard and see how it shakes out.

Someone will get disrespected pretty quickly.

Thanks. Also heard some Ohio-based applicants were not even accepted to one of the branch campuses. And these were kids with decent GPAs and test scores. I thought the branches had to accept OH residents.

Yeah, believe that is a condition of being a 'land grant university'. At Miami, they used a housing shortage as a limiting factor. But there's enough private housing around tOSU campus that doesn't hold water.

Every college in Ohio is legally open admissions. Main campuses are allowed to be selective if their or some of their branch campuses remain open admissions. I'd guess that there might be a space and faculty limits at the more popular Ohio State branches like Newark, but a couple are still maintained as open admission.

The screw job that Fredo did in the late 60s was based on that since their first branch campus opened the year before they were allowed to become selective. The housing shortage was a con. They simply never requested the money from the state (and their former President who Rhodes' pick as Chair of the Ohio Board of Regents) never made them take the money to build the necessary dorm space for the burgeoning baby boom enrollment. Every other campus (notably including the state's flagship) was forced to build that dorm space. The hollowness of Fredo's 15 year "public ivy" glory was exposed by how quick it all fell apart when Ohio State moved to selective admissions.

I've got beef with that if it's accurate. I don't even love the main campus getting overly selective given its land grant mission, but given the nature of the higher education game when it comes to prestige, fundraising, etc. and my general approval of the main campus as the "flagship" of Ohio public universities, I accept it and am a lot more comfortable with it if kids can get into a branch campus as of right and transfer to Columbus if they succeed there.

There's no requirement for a lang-grant college to have open or even easy admissions. Berkeley is a land-grant college as are Wisconsin, Illinois, Purdue and Minnesota. Ohio State is the flagship campus for a major state. It should strive to be as selective as it can be and attract the best students from across the country. As Ed Jennings would tell any politician, business leader or newspaper publisher in the early 80s, "Ohio can have a world class flagship university or it can have an open admissions flagship university; It can't have both." As I said above, there might be space limitations at Newark necessitating some selectivity, but I'm sure that at least a couple of the Ohio State branches remain open.

My son graduated from OU, but he wore a Buckeye jersey when we were watching the game. We will cheer for the Bobcats every other game this year.

I think most rational humans can deal with affinity for a school that plays (let’s face it) in a different league than our Buckeyes with the psychotic binary views of a few fucking nutters.

I got my MBA from Jacksonville University, (which means I was able to fog a mirror, score on a test and sign a check) and they have crossed paths with OSU in hoops. No conflict for me whatever.

OSU represents Ohio. That is where I am from. It’s where my family all come from for hundreds of years. It’s part of who I am. No degree from any school anywhere else overrides that. It’s fucking silly to think otherwise.

Well here we are. 2 back with 9 to play.

Tough lefty on the mound tonight for the Cubbies. 3 games to end it all in Milwaukee.

Neither of those set ups seems positive for The Reds.

Feels like the bed shatting happens tonight but they may just be devious enough to string us along for another week.



I hate them. I do hate them.

It will be interesting to see Washington's man on man defense vs Ohio States offense. Notre Dame did a decent job but I'm not sure that Washington has the horses to keep up. Thoughts?

No one really has those horses if you think about it as just ability to cover.

The best bet for opponents is to confuse the young QB. How well teams can/can’t do that will be the key all year, followed by how well they can get after said young QB and speed him up.

Just my .02

Burning his junk in front of him after they cut it off seems excessive.

Two BYE weeks in a college football regular season.

I'll never forgive them for what has been taken from me.
