This is really a pretty cool article about Vandy, with a lot of focus on Jerry Kill: https://www.si.com/college-football...ll-leading-vanderbilt-stunning-sec-turnaround

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.

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.

I didn't watch it live. And all I found for a while was the highlights. But then I found the full game.

How was that not a penalty?

Because if attempted bitchery was a flag, the Chiefs wouldn't ever get a snap off.

Sure am enjoying the tickle fight in the finals this week. I just need my punching Judy’s to keep punching ever so slightly harder than Jax’s…Not likely but one can hope!

Coach: Did he throw a pass that was obviously a pass but was initially ruled a fumble, and then on the run back try to trip the kid like a gigantic bitch?

I may have to search the BP archives, but I remember cracking myself up writing about Lydell trying to rush in to put out a fire, running into the door frame, knocking himself out and the building burning down.

Disappointed, bro. That was me and you promised not to tell.

Wonder if this extends to other positions, such as a certain CB out of Hoban.

Not sure about the money, but I have not seen any buzz anywhere that OSU is still pursuing him. What I have seen is that they are still chasing others. For example, Fitzpatrick recently mentioned Walton reached out and he was also visiting Odem today.

Also, and I want to emphasize that I'm in no way negative about Bo, the freshman wall is real more often than not. It's not unusual to see guys start the year fast and then fall off as conference games stack. All the more reason to continue to rotate. I don't think we need an RB1 getting 25 carries. We need three who can split carries and get the job done.

Make sure the straps are tight I guess, NTTAWWT ...

Great point, the season is long, and RBs take a fearful pounding. Usually, the WRs and RBs doing get a sniff of the field unless they are doing some blocking. Has he done that yet? (usually not a freshman's strong suit). Anyway, do like his running ability, and it looks like tOSU backfield has some guys that do different things, which will change-up how D's line up, etc.

I think Bo's the bell cow, but chances are we will absolutely need all three guys, I would have to rewatch a bit to get a gauge on his pass blocking, typically young running backs struggle with that, you're on point with that.
