It is, but more like the floor of Mean Mr Mustard’s after bucket night.

How many guys have we seen get their careers detailed by injuries? This sport can be unfair. Some of these guys are looking are an amount of money that can change their lives. It's an enormous risk to take. I won't begrudge any athlete who is unwilling to accept the risk.

This. I’m sure I’m not the only one who lived with some of these guys while at tOSU. Speaking of unfair, watching a 18-19 year old barely be able to get out of bed and need ice baths to walk some days… without NIL, that’s unfair. Glad they get a chance to get paid above the table.

Rumors that Patricia interviewed.

Such a contrast with another recruitment we’re all watching.

If this kid makes it to 43210, it seems to be his sincere wish and I hope he’s rewarded for it. To actively work the way he has to try to get to tOSU — clearly against the wishes of his mom — his desire to be a Buckeye is on another level.

If all true, I hope he makes it here. That’s the kind of desire to be a Buckeye I hope for everyone on that team. Candidly, it’s difficult for me to fathom someone who didn’t grow up in the heart of it all to understand. That’s significant and something that, I would guess, would be not taken for granted.

Whatever happens here, I hope for his best. I can’t imagine being in his cleats right now.

No cookies there. Crunchy or soft batch.

Single digits here this morning. On the positive side, that means it is clear and we should have some sunshine.

According to Twitterverse the dial is kinda moving towards OSU now. It's kind of like Pac Man chasing fruit (see what I did there?).

I dont even know if PacMan is still involved with him as much since he moved to CA

to say recruiting is cutthroat would be a gross understatement, but what Tennessee done here is unreal.

No parent should ever want their son to go anywhere Huepel is involved with

straight up POS

All the more reason to go to a place that can protect you. Money means performance. Compare Dylan Raiola, underwood, even Nico to Sayin’s career.

It’s not like buckeyes are cheap. This is their life, their decision, we have no right to judge them. It’s just some decisions are smarter than others.

Then again, it’s not like Oregon is that much worse. Both decisions would be sound.

And Burrow was a senior with a year under his belt as LSU QB1. What Sayin has done is simply unprecedented and he's blown away even the level of hype he had coming in. Anyone who says they saw this level of play coming, well...

I did.

To be fair...

I have thought the same about every single QB we've had since Greg Frey
