Update: Max has been bad the last several weeks and missed several cuts in a row, but, after narrowly making the cut at this week’s tournament in Boise, he shot -6 (65) today and moved up the leaderboard quite a bit. He’ll drop back a fair amount as the guys teeing off later score well, but it’s good to see him have a strong round and I hope he can back it up with another one tomorrow and get some momentum going.

Max shot 66 today to finish T24 at -16. Made about $8K. That’s his best finish in quite a while.

2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

The defensive tackle room is expected to be led by Houston, Walker, James Smith and Will Smith Jr., with all four seeing playing time in the rotation, while Moore has also drawn praise for his development this offseason.

Starting center Carson Hinzman said on Wednesday the defensive tackle group is "awesome" and making the offensive line better.

"I always tell them, 'If you guys wanna really be my buddy, go and thrash some centers for me. I'd really appreciate that.' It's important for us to build that iron sharpens iron mentality. Because they're getting me just as much better (as) I hope I'm getting them," Hinzman said.

Regardless of what the rotation shakes out to be, there's an expectation that the unit will make an impact. Patricia hit on that importance ahead of his second year as a defensive coordinator, mentioning the roles defensive tackles had when he was the defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots.

"It's really hard to replace really good players in the middle of the defense. I do believe that," Patricia said. "I believe it's important to be strong in the middle of the defense, and certainly coming from my background at New England and having guys, like, whether it was Keith Traylor or Vince Wilfork or any of those guys, Ted Washington back in the day. I mean, those are some big boys rolling through there."

While the defensive tackle unit consists of new faces for the most part, the mentality of the group is the same — cause fits on the interior.

"We got a bunch of guys that are hungry and willing to make plays and do whatever to cause havoc on the inside," Walker said Thursday.

Deaths Of Notable Sports Figures (R.I.P.)

ScriptOhio

Ex-MLB pitcher Tommy John, namesake of pioneering surgery, dies​

i

At age 31, Dodgers pitcher Tommy John underwent revolutionary elbow ligament reconstruction surgery -- later called Tommy John surgery -- in 1974. He returned and pitched 14 more seasons for the Dodgers, Yankees (twice) and Angels, winning 164 more games.

Former major league pitcher Tommy John, a four-time All-Star who won 288 career games and was the namesake behind the pioneering elbow surgery that prolonged his career for 14 more years, died Saturday at the age of 83.

John died at his home in Bradenton, Florida, the New York Yankees said in a statement Sunday. A cause of death was not given, but he had been in hospice and had been diagnosed with bladder cancer and other ailments in recent years.

"The New York Yankees mourn the passing of Tommy John, who was a bedrock of our rotation during his time in pinstripes and a longtime favorite of Yankees fans," the team said in its statement. "While his incredible longevity and post-surgery achievements changed the fortunes and trajectory of countless athletes around the world, it also overshadowed his excellence as a pitcher, which included consecutive 20 win seasons with the Yankees.

LSU Tigers (official thread)

Mets troll Jayden Daniels over LSU NIL dispute

Jayden Daniels is getting trolled ... by the New York Mets, of all teams.

The Washington Commanders quarterback has been embroiled in an unusual dispute with his alma mater, LSU. Daniels' spokesperson told ESPN that the quarterback took issue with the Tigers allowing cornerback DJ Pickett to wear the No. 5 jersey that Daniels donned during his Heisman-winning season in 2023. Daniels' attorney has informed LSU that it can no longer use his name, image and likeness, according to an Aug. 5 letter sent to Tigers athletic director Verge Ausberry, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN on Wednesday.

The dispute has become fodder for internet trolling. StubHub announced it would "no longer offer tickets in groups of 5." NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team TRICON Garage said it would not be running No. 5 at a race Friday. The account for Minor League Baseball made a joke about a postponed game resuming at 5:05 p.m. in the fifth inning. But perhaps the most notable troll came Friday night after the Mets' 4-1 win over the Washington Nationals.

After the win, which came against the Commanders' neighbor in MLB, the Mets posted a graphic saying they "Stopped at 4 out of respect for Jayden Daniels."

As much as I endorse their troll here, the Mets are the last organization that should be deriding anyone right now :lol:

ttun recruiting (all classes)

pnuts34
So ttun hires an old school HC Who isn’t known for elite recruiting, but more so multi year development. That would work at Utah where few players were poached into the Portal, but now he’s in the B1G at ttun with a fanbase expecting to keep up in recruiting with OSU, Oregon, USC and now the defending champion Hoosiers(still feels weird writing that). 2 of the top 20 kids in MI have committed to them in 2027, and that’s not going to cut it :scum:
