LSU Tigers (official thread)

My theory: LSU leaked that they were going to release Kelly by the end of the week. Kelly hears the leak, so he packs up his desk and stops acting as the coach. LSU waits a few weeks and announces that they are firing Kelly for cause because he stopped showing up for work.
If he is shit all stupid enough to not get it in writing that he’s been fired then he deserves to lose all the money he’s about to lose.

I can’t see a normal person being that dumb but I can see that arrogant prick not even consulting his agent/lawyer about how to end it.

That said, they don’t want to pay him so the only way to even attempt it is “for cause”.

The fact they made him a second settlement offer right after he said no to the first one would seem to indicate they know they are in n a weak spot.

Game Thread UCLA at #1 tOSU, Sat. Nov. 15th, 7:30 pm ET, NBC

Bruins come to Columbus for the first time as a conference opponent.

The overall series is 4-4-1. The Buckeyes are 2-1-1 in Columbus, winning the last such matchup 42-20 in 1999.

The most recent meeting was in Sept. 2001; in Jim Tressel’s second game as head coach the Buckeyes lost in Pasadena 13-6, with their only score coming on a blocked punt.

The only time these teams met in the postseason was the brutal 23-10 loss to the Dick Vermeil-coached, John Sciarra-QB‘ed team in the Rose Bowl after the 1975 season, during which the Buckeyes had defeated that Bruins team 41-20 in Columbus in early October. That loss was in Archie Griffin’s final game, and it cost the Buckeyes the National Title the last time Woody Hayes had a shot at winning another one.

A bit of a correction: in 1975 both games against UCLA were out west. On Oct 4 tOSU won 41-20 in a night game in LA. Both teams wore home uniforms that game. I later heard a rumor tOSU equipment manager packed the wrong jerseys. I don't know if that's true, but I don't remember any explanation. So I expected them to do the same for the Rose Bowl, but we wore white then.

C Jerry Lucas (All B1G, All American, 2x NPOY, National Champion, CBB HOF, NBA HOF)

Lucas, the ultimate champion, was the first person to become a champion at every level (High School, College, NBA, and an Olympic Gold Medal).

The article Nov 11 2022 doesn't address high school: however, there are apparently at least....

Eight players who have won NCAA, NBA, and Olympic titles

These guys are winners on all levels!

Clyde Lovellette

Bill Russell and K.C. Jones

Jerry Lucas

Quinn Buckner

Magic Johnson

Michael Jordan

Anthony Davis

Just sayin': That is a pretty select club.

Good news LSU fans. Maybe what’s old is new again and you already have your new coach? :groove2:

2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Ha Ha.. Equally true for the Big 12.
Playing for your parents school means a lot. Heck, look at the last OSU commit, Wilhelm’s son. And this isn’t the type of kid that seems to want the attention at big school in a big city. Hence why his 1st commit was to BFE, PA and he feels more comfortable in WV! His visit to WVU before OSU’s already had them in a big lead, OSU was fighting just to get even. Every kid doesn’t want to be a Buckeye. And that’s ok

Last time we played the Bruins Steve Bellisari put up some truly putrid numbers: 5-23 for 45 yards with 0 TDs and 2 INTs. Also chipped in 9 carries for 15 yards.
That was the first tOSU game I ever attended. Probably the biggest tragedy of September 2001 unless I'm forgetting something

That was a fun one. 13-6 loss in 2001 where OSU missed an XP and two short field goal attempts. And the only OSU TD was on a punt block. One of Tressel’s first games here.

Ricky Bryant scored the td off the punt block i believe. OSU defense played their asses off
