I just unearthed this gem....


The above was posted in the 2014 Virginia Tech game thread. Urban had lost the 2013 Big Ten Championship Game (to Michigan State), the 2014 Orange Bowl (to Clemson), and the 2014 marquee out-of-conference contest (to Virginia Tech).

Similarly, after a 16-game winning streak, Ryan Day is now 1-3 in his last four games, having lost the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game (to Indiana), the 2025 Cotton Bowl (to Miami), and the 2026 marquee out-of-conference contest (to Texas).

Of course, Urban Meyer quickly righted the ship in 2014 and won the title (and beat scUM) despite my writing off the season in week two.

Can Ryan Day do the same in 2026?

Excellent post. After my several not-to-kind posts about the game's result, this post has got my head back on straight. The only real tough game from here to The Game is at Indiana. The games at Iowa and USC and Indiana will be tough, but if we win those (or even drop a close one at Indiana), we should be 11-1 (9-0)/10-2 (8-1) at the end of the regular season (I'm not worried about the Oregon and scUM games in The Shoe).

Would love it honestly. We all crown Howard now because he was unconscious during the playoffs but prior to that everyone was questioning him. And Howard was a fifth year senior with a ton of starts under his belt. He’ll be fine.

I’ve thought the same thing. Howard was good not great and then he was great. Just keep getting reps and gain trust in the whole WR room. Good things will happen.

2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

Captain Buckeye
buckeyemania11 said:
I think it is. He's not like MAC level or anything but he definitely does not have upper-level athleticism, the bigger issue though is that his instincts and intangibles I don't think are good enough to make up for that. He's just kind of average across the board. He works fine against the less talented teams, but you can really see it when it's against a team with legit talent across the board on offense, like Texas.

He seems to be a locker room glue type guy though that all the other players love. So, I wouldn't count on any kind of decreased role for him anytime soon.

Yeah we are just saying it different but we think the same thing. Just a good college player all the way around but he’s not a first round kind of player.

I also agree that it’s not likely they’ll bench the captain who got the most votes. You have to hope that it just becomes more 50/50

College Football Playoffs Discussion (12/16/24 Team Format)

I'd guess a large number of these 100 (or so) non Super League schools have a law school that produced thousands of alumni that would be more than willing to work "pro bono" to support their old alma mater. They would sue for the same thing the "Group of Five " conferences sued to get entry into the College Football Playoffs. The threat of antitrust litigation is the primary reason smaller conferences are legally guaranteed access. Because all FBS teams technically play on the same competitive tier, a total lockout would be deemed a restriction of trade and an illegal monopoly.

That is exactly what they are buying themselves out of right now.

They are working with Ted Cruz to buy the ability to restrict trade and collude. Why is it hard to imagine them buying the votes to get an anti trust exemption like the other major pro sports?

The very worst thing that happens is they give the poverty conferences some money to go away and do their own thing. The big 2 already take something like 60% of the revenue from the CFP without changing a thing.

It becomes a simple math exercise: The cost of buying an anti trust exemption vs the 40% subsidy to unproductive schools/conferences.

I'm guessing 40% of billions of dollars means the non super league teams are about to get a new deal whether they like it or not (meaning it's more cost effective to buy the politicians than pay the poverty schools).
