Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

I don't give financial advice but if I were doing so, this would be my advice. You can feed an African nation for 3 years on the money you can make off these assholes.

-Live bet them,
-wait til they get a lead and fade them
-you are getting a plus money bet most nights against the worst bullpen in baseball (and an offense that doesn't have the ability to come back often).

Nothing wins 100% but at plus money, you don't have to.
Turned 4 units into 11.65 units today. Feels exactly like my CWS bets.

2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

YUGE recruiting weekend. I'm holding out hope on landing Sales...mostly with the Hankton relationship on top of WR U. Might not prevail but I'm all about swinging for the fences on him. Really like to see Moss visiting as well, he's one I'm mildly optimistic on landing that I don't think many are watching that closely.

totally agree. give me sales and brown and boom

2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Just wondering who'll 'stir the drink' this year. And yeah, see the talent already here, and reading the hometown newsies reports, there's some good talent coming our way. Haven't seen much outside info on where the rest of the world (w/o scarlet colored glasses) sees our guys. Have experienced that the inside opinion and the outside opinions are somewhat/vastly different.
If it isn't Anthony Thompson, the ceiling for this team is a lot lower. Thompson will be practically unguardable in college, and for the sake of this team long-term he needs to be the go-to guy from Day 1.

Here's a projection that has OSU in the top-25 and #7 in the B1G.

Personally, I am skeptical of Nebraska being able to repeat their success from this past season, as while they return their star and one of their best role players, they lose a handful of their starters and they were really one of those teams whose success was based more on the collective group playing well together as opposed to elite individual talent - it's very easy to overlook the role players filling their roles perfectly, and they aren't investing heavily in NIL to rebuild the roster so they don't have top-tier transfers to lift them up.

Game Thread tOSU at USC, Sat. Oct. 31st, TBA

Was a guest of pastor in the 2008 game. Watched everyone flow right, with the FB the lone person going left. QB stopped and flung the ball down the left side line, which was empty except for said USC FB. Easy touchdown. Stood up and yelled "That's cheating!" and everyone laughed at me. Also Terrell Pryor's coming out party. Wished he had played earlier, and longer. The ONLY bright light that day. PS, cost me $60 bucks to park.

Game Thread Ball State at tOSU, Sat. Sept. 5th, 12:30 ET BTN

My only wish(s) is that zero injuries, and that Tavian will get some serious reps with the 1's. Maybe a quarter and a half? With none of this hand-off stuff. I get that the playbook will be very vanilla, with Texas looming the next week, but would like to see him toss the ball around the yard. Maybe a run or two when Ball St drops 8.

Game Thread tOSU at Texas, Sat. Sept 12, 7:30 pm ET, ABC

Am I forgetting something, but wasn't Brandon a 5* coming out of HS, and Carnell only a 4*? But, Carnell came reported in December, and Brandon in July, and Carnell had gained enough of an advantage that he never relinquished his position. Someone will correct my error, am certain. Anyway, do believe that Brandon will have a world-beater year, and will be (another) first round selection. And re: the thread, the DL will be stout enough that Texas QB won't have enough time to set up, let alone try to thread amongst our DBs...

Game Thread ttun at tOSU, Sat Nov 28, 12pm EST, FOX

Don't accuse me of wearing S&G glasses, but I'd vote for each and every one of those items. Only question is Bo, as RBs can get hurt, and there's a deep bench just waiting their chances. Am baffled why Jeremiah hasn't won one Biletnikoff award yet, but thems the breaks, and the anti-OSU mindset out there. (wish I had a nickel for every talking head who has proclaimed Jeremiah best WR in nation).

All-Star Game

Gather round kids, while ol' cincibuck tells you about a game they used to play every August a long time ago.

See, they used to take 45 of the best college seniors, and form 'em up in late July to play a game in August against the NFL Champions and once in a blue moon this group of college buckaroos would show the old beards a thing or two. But mostly it was 42 to 7 in favor of the pros.

BUT the uniform for the All-Stars was incredible.

I'm stuck here in Ft. Worth, Texass, for a wedding and being put up at the Fort Work Club (est. 1885) a place with dress code printed out, so eastern hicks will understand that they have "standards" here in the Lone Star State. One of the features at the club is the Davey O'Brien Sports Lounge.

So, where is this going, Cinci? I hear you newbs asking.

Right here in the club is Davey's uniform from the time he was selected to play in the All Star game.
And then, as I poke around, I discover other treasures. Enjoy!

love it!
