The counter argument is that Woody, JT and Earle probably wouldn't have gotten the 20 point lead to try and milk.

I mean, part of what I have made my peace with is in the statement of "all the losses are the same".

It's just the way he is, you get the good with the bad.

It's not like we can call to the bullpen at halftime and have Tress come calmly walking out of the dressing room to Tresselball the opponent to death with a second half lead.

Everyone can do their own thing but for me, I'm over the angst part. Day is what Day is, you get the rain and you get the mud.

Day needs to self scout. I wanted a pro OC …

Good to see this school in the news for their on-field and on-court actions again.

100000x yes, spectrum can eat the corn out of my shit, then shit it out and eat that corn shit again

Not going to watch that

Pretty damn good because I haven’t been there for over a week and haven’t checked in. We’ll see if the train is still on the track or if we went off the rails next Wednesday when I’m back.

Although I just turned 64, so my give a fucks are starting to wane….

The few Watson defenders left always point out "well if he was ballin' out y'all wouldn't care about his off field stuff". And you know what? I'll readily concede that, to a point. If he had taken the Browns to the last 2 AFC Championship games, there would be a significant portion of the fanbase (most) who would readily overlook his attitude and the massages. Fine. But if that's your angle...you'd better produce. Hard.

In my field, we don't have a lot of massage parlor regulars, but we do have arrogant, condescending assholes. And you can be that way...if you produce. But when you hit a rough patch, as nearly everyone does at one time or another...all of a sudden they look at you and say "well, you're not producing like you were...and you're an arrogant condescending asshole on top of that too." And their response is usually along the lines of "But I was an arrogant condescending asshole before and you never cared!" Moral of the story is...if you're going to be a piece of shit human, you'd better be that much more worth it, or you're getting zero benefit of the doubt when you want/need it. And that's true for any field.

Scum fans bitching about being #11 are a joke. Oklahoma clearly does not have a offense, and Scum doesn't either. The difference is the one QB run.

!!? Where do they get that? They are #18 in both the AP and Coach's polls this week.

Not undoable by any means and I'd prefer the loss to Texas early rather than a large loss if that scenario plays out (as frustrating as it was to lose that way). But I do see one more loss in there.

Just sayin': You definitely don't want it to still be a one score game in the 4th quarter against any opponent; however, especially against one of the better teams, i.e. USC, Indiana, Oregon, and/or scUM where they could "steal"' a game. The offense just needs to treat every possession like the game is on the line (which it could be even if Ohio State is up a couple scores) and they need to score again.

If this kid does something dazzling again vs Kent State it’ll be tough to explain to many fans if he disappears vs Illinois

Good deal. Zion is one that seems to be improving and could develop into a regular in the rotation at some point this season.

I agree with the sentiment that we have nothing to worry about here. All Buckeye. And if he watched the Texas game and saw Arch reading the Columbus Dispatch back in the pocket with all the time he had to throw, he should know he'll have a shot to play right away. (I know some of that was scheme, but still I expect him to play immediately here)

Inside the SEC's tangled legal battle with LSU and Lane Kiffin​

As LSU and the SEC found themselves locked in an unprecedented game of legal chicken over coach Lane Kiffin's plan to roster two former NFL players this season, Kiffin routinely reached out to his friend, attorney Tom Mars, for legal advice.

When Mars urged Kiffin to back down, the LSU coach texted him screenshots of legal opinions from an unlikely source.

ChatGPT.

"Usually, when I would express an opinion about what LSU was doing, Lane would reply with a screenshot from ChatGPT that supported LSU's position, which was almost always wrong," Mars said. "Lane ignored most of my unsolicited advice, but I don't think he'll be using ChatGPT anymore for legal advice."

Even though former Ole Miss players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris prevailed in Louisiana state court and obtained a preliminary injunction that prevented the SEC and NCAA from keeping them off the field this season, LSU ultimately chose to not add them to its roster.

The SEC had threatened to impose stiff penalties to any school that rostered former NFL, NBA or WNBA players, including a fine that equaled 50% of the sport's annual operating budget and a half-season suspension for the head coach.

The SEC also filed a federal lawsuit against LSU in Alabama -- on the same day commissioner Greg Sankey was testifying in state court in Baton Rouge -- and later scheduled a vote of its member university presidents to consider booting the Tigers out of the league.

If Kiffin hadn't backed down, LSU might have been punished severely, perhaps even kicked out of the league, if the SEC prevailed in federal court or a state appeals court.

"Eventually, I told him that a guy with a $91 million contract ought to have a top-notch lawyer on speed dial and not be using ChatGPT for legal advice," Mars said......

UCLA Athletics Announces Free Student Tickets for Football, Men’s and Women’s Basketball

UCLA Athletics today announced that admission to all regular-season home football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball games are now free for all UCLA students.

The new policy takes effect this Saturday when UCLA hosts Purdue in the Bruins’ Big Ten home opener at the Rose Bowl.

"Our students are the heartbeat of UCLA," said Tim Harris, UCLA CEO and Director of Athletics. "Their passion, energy and pride create an atmosphere that makes a difference for our student-athletes and coaches. We want as many students as possible experiencing UCLA Athletics, supporting their fellow Bruins and helping us build one of the best home environments in college sports. We need our students to show up, be loud, and make a difference.”

Eligible UCLA undergraduate and graduate students will be able to claim complimentary tickets to home football games through their student ticket account beginning on the Monday of each game week. Registration for the Sept. 19 football game against Purdue will open on Wednesday at 10 a.m.

Students who previously purchased a 2026-27 Den Pass will receive an automatic refund by Friday, Sept. 25.

In addition to complimentary admission, students will have the opportunity to purchase up to eight guest tickets for each home football game, with the exception of UCLA's game against USC. Details regarding the ticket process for the USC game will be announced at a later date.

Details regarding the men's basketball student ticket request process will be communicated prior to the start of the 2026-27 season.

UCLA Students can take The Rooter Bus to the Rose Bowl on gamedays, an easy, fast and affordable way to get to the game. Single-game passes are available for $15 and a season pass is $60.

What happened to the white shoes that we were to wear for Texas?

1. Fans have no idea if Bey is upholding his part of being a teammate. He was already suspended for 2 practices before practices even started, he fucked up BOTH kick returns in his first game, but Joe Keyboard saw him juke the worst MAC team once and now they know better than the coaching staff against obviously the best team on the schedule in their house.

2. Yep. We have, at the very least, one of the 3 best football players I've ever seen wearing an Ohio State uniform. Probably top 2 with Orlando Pace....but my username suggests I'm a little biased towards Eddie George. We only get him for 3 years. This is year 3. A lot of people would like to see him in that uniform as many times as possible. I'm one of them.

1. Yeah I get it. Then why even get him the ball once vs Texas. Anyway, some kids need to grow up. Percy Harvin for example was one of them but if he’s a top 2 play maker on offense (and the way everyone talks it seems like he is) then it’s owed to the team to put your best foot forward especially the seniors. You’re right that he seems like he has some growing up to do though.

2. It’ll be moot because I’m sure he plays at least half the game. I just think for the next few games what might help Jeremiah the most is if some of these other WRs step up. If Phillip Bell holds onto the ball maybe the next play is a shot to JJ for a touchdown. Maybe if Julian has more throws to Devin that’s a touchdown or if he hits Boyd on that dig the drive stays alive and again the next play is a big hitter to JJ. Keeping the sticks moving is only more opportunities for everyone including JJ.

Won’t ever see a talent like this again IMO. So I no doubt get we better enjoy these games we have left,
