I hate them so.

Sort of like Dave Alvin's line in 4th of July, "Whatever happened, I apologize."

Got an Elly HR for part of my 4 leg parlay. Do you think they'll count 4 strikeouts as a HR?

Just sayin': Except for the seat licenses, football in Da Shoe is somewhat evolving into the same situation as basketball in the Schott.
1. The ticket prices keep going up.
2. They are pricing out the average fan and most students.
3. I'm guessing at this one; but I'll say that with the big money and fancy cars the players are getting now, they do not connect/interact with the students like they did when I was a student. The students don't look at the football players as being "one of us" like they did years ago.
4. The best seats go to season ticket holders that are donors, facility, and others with "connections".
5. Overall most of the fans in above category (#4) are older and do "sit on their hands" sometimes.

Haven’t been to a game in a few years now. Used to go every year, but living out of state turns it into a very expensive affair. The cost and availability of decent seats has really made it a difficult proposition.

Son-in-law reps Elijah Craig and made the deal with tOSU last year. Hoping maybe to benefit from that relationship this season

Fiesta, Cotton and Peach.

Next time the Buckeyes play in the Orange Bowl, I will definitely be there.

This dude is the definition of a risk of harm to himself and others. Seems inevitable that we're going to get news of a real tragedy involving him any day now.

Still appreciate that video of him ripping ass on that doctor, though.

Vols win, 4-2. No shame in that. Rough road ahead though...

I don’t know where you got this idea, but Brian Bosworth was suspended for the 1987 Orange Bowl due to a positive steroid test

Just sayin': Good catch, my mistake......

I do appreciate people pointing out my errors. 1) maybe I won't make the same mistake again, and 2) shows I'm not wasting my time posting as someone is actually reading my posts....

The NCAA passed legislation banning the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances in 1973, according to NCAA director of sports sciences Frank Uryasz. Uryasz said the ban included steroids, though it didn't single them out specifically.

• Initial Ban: The NCAA passed legislation in 1973 that banned the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances, which included anabolic steroids.
• No Enforcement: However, this initial ban was largely unenforceable as there was no drug testing program in place until 1986.
• Drug Testing Program: The NCAA started its drug-testing program in 1986, making the steroid ban more concrete as athletes could now be tested and penalized for violations.

Gotcha. Now that Jacy, Taylor, and the lose of Cotie, the cupboard might be a bit bare. Certainly the PG has the edge, although she seemed to fade in the background later in the season. Cannot see Bjork giving McDuff the door, although his handling of the police seemed to be pretty smooth (more smooth than I could be). Might also opine that the pool of outstanding women's bb coaches is more shallow than the men's. Do like the freshwoman big in her first year. Definitely shows promise, but needs to beef up the upper body, and get some moves with her back to the basket. Go Bucks, always.

Gotta say, like Bjork's attitude of wanting men's and women's BB up there along with the football folk. No longer letting them 'just mail in their games' while the football team gets all the print space in the Dispatch. Seem to recollect that was Gene Smith's attitude when he strode the halls as AD. Always seem to go back to the Director's Cup, for all around excellence in a university's sports programs. Of course, if you want to play in the big boy's sandbox, you've be able to marshal the resources necessary to compete. We'll never see it, certainly, but the administration has to make a concerted effort (and put ones money where ones mouth is) to do this. This is the opinion of this writer only, and not to be confused with common knowledge....

Could be my poor eyesight, but this guy looks to be a few cupcakes short of 290. Surprised not to see SC and UCLA in the hunt.

Come to Ohio State, where you can earn three rings (ala the 2024 Buckeye players) and a Natty as well. Then join the conga line into the pros, what with the coaching/teaching staff Day has put together. Go Bucks!

Recollect that Firestone was the pinnacle of the pro golf tour, once upon a time. Didn't realize that they tricked it up that much (that never made it into the tabloids). But that's why that course was so special. It's been awhile, but go to the Colonial in Ft. Worth sometime. Besides being a gorgeous course, the hotties see who can get away with wearing the fewest clothes. Was there, when heard over the speaker, 'would the girl in green please turn around'....golfer's wives seem to be the best looking, but guess one could make that statement about all sports. Your point is well taken, and mayhaps that's the reason that more wives are traveling with their golf professional husbands?

Dubs, have taken three of the four (?) tours there. Try to envision all the movie stars that sailed up the coast to partake in Willie Randolph's parties. Pool is to die for, and the jar of French's mustard on the tremendous dining table is a hoot. (am more a Grey Poupon guy myself). Actually, when we get to Cambria, we head up to that area for a wine tasting and lunch. Sit out on a cliff overlooking the ocean, sip some wine and munch sandwich, and the stress and cares wash away with the waves. Tasting room is situated a tad north of the pier, where the boats tied up, etc. Probably a bit more than you bargained for, but yeah, we know the place. PS, rooms in the area are more cost effective than down in Cambria, and it's a great seaside drive up to Big Sur and Monterey/Carmel if you're on a road trip (except for the floods that wash out the roads - which are now closed currently).

Fuck them kids.

Not exactly apples to apples, but when in CLE, LeBron was very reluctant to play the “4” on the court…he was adamant he wanted to play SF. It wasn’t until he got to Miami, that Pat Rielly convinced him, he’d be a badass “4” if he embraced it. He wouldn’t start at the “4” but they’d play him 15-20 mins a game at the “4” and the numbers spoke for themselves when he played the “3” vs the “4” on the court.

All that to say….

Donovan Mitchell, if serious about winning a title, needs to shift down to PG. He’s a capable defender but it’s really hard to have a 6’4” SG next to a turnstile defensive PG in Garland. I could make the argument, the Cavs don’t even start their best starting roster when Garland starts at PG.

I’d rather have the defense of: Mitchell, Hunter, Strus, Mobley, Allen…..much better defensively and makes them capable of switching at all times versus the match-up nightmares they face when Garland is on court.

If Mitchell would commit to being a PG, I think CLE could shop Garland, and create a much better and balanced team….JMO.
