From a distance right. I don’t want to be within a couple of states of that

Done. Also, here's one of my kidneys. And the deed to my house. I'm O-, too......so take all my blood just in case you need some at any point.

See, I was guessing blood because I’ve always figured @Thump was his Mob nickname.

I'm not far from there at all. I live right off 119 in NH.

Bagmen…or lag there of :-)

William sounds really excited about re-joining the program & grateful to get a foothold into coaching. Hope he's able to make the most out of this opportunity.

Him? Why are we assuming that - did anyone clarify if that’s what he prefers? Perhaps we should have said they, it or we.

Just joking fuck you too 2026

Anyone know what the 'donation' to play in the Memorial is, if you're not a celebrity? Once bid $10,000 for a place in the Crosby Clambake (at Pebble Beach), and was leader for a night, but got outbid next day. Just an idle musing. Would be a great Bucket List accomplishment by the way.

Just sayin': You need some kind of "in". Playing in the official Wednesday Workday Golden Bear Pro-Am at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, requires a direct invitation from tournament officials, the PGA Tour, or as part of a high-tier sponsorship package. Amateurs cannot simply purchase a spot to play on Wednesday of tournament week.

Don't know, so will ask. Does/has Thompson already gotten to tOSU, and working out with existing team? Know about football, but not much on the basketball side of things. Would assume/hope that he's playing pickup at least at the Schott against teammates, but who knows. And working out with the trainer(s) to build up to B10 standards. Anyone aware of the process?

Yes, as of yesterday all players currently committed to the program are on campus. They may well add a couple walk-ons, but the guys who they are counting on like AT are there. Summer workouts start next week.

Reread this thread. Used to travel for business on the company's dime. Back when most men wore coat and tie. Travel was fun then, now there's nothing at all to like about travel, from the traffic jam getting to the airport, to the disorganized walkers, to the wait lines to get on board, to the overloaded seat bins, to the bags of pretzels (not even peanuts!), to stained seats, toilets that smell worse than outhouses, to the tardiness of getting bags off carousel, to the cost of parking. However, thoroughly beats driving 2,000 miles. But am too poor to afford a private plane, which doesn't serve food by the way.

Damn shame about Judge's career.

He was doing so well

I fucking told you guys

To the Land of the Free, because of the Brave.

Well, from what I remember from my bball days, a 'putback' entails grabbing a rebound and putting it in the basket. Chalk up one rebound and two points for whomever does this. Both are good looks in my opinion. Blocked shots are a good thing as well, as it prevents two points by the opponent. Also alters shots for the rest of the game, which ultimately lowers FG percentage. All sound like plusses to me....

Well nuts! Always watched the end of year tourneys, and the announcers putting forth that X golfer needed to finish 10th or so to receive $Y to get over the $125,000 threshold to hold onto tour card. Now it's points. The more prestigious the tournament the most points, am thinking. But maybe equaled out by the size of the purse? Anyway, hope Neal gets on the stick and places more highly. Would think the Korn Ferry route would be best, kinda an 'earn while you learn' thing, and from what always have read, the Q school is one brutal MF to compete in. Wish you well Neal!

Ohio State memorializes Bruce Thornton's career on the record wall at the Schott

Ohio State announced on Thursday that Thornton had been added, posting a social media video of the point guard's plaque, which reads, "2nd B1G player ever with 2,000+ points, 500+ rebounds, 500+ assists. First 4-time captain in program history."

How were his stats after the cheating broke compared to before? I think I know the answer but would like to see it.

So, I got a chance to look into this, myself:
In 2023, for the season, he was 240/332 (72.3%) for 2991 yards (9.01 ypa, 199.4 ypg), 22 td, 4 ints

September through the Indiana game (before):
111/142 (78.2%) for 1512 yards (10.65 ypa, 216.0 ypg), 14 td, 3 ints

Sparty through the end of the year (after):
129/190 (67.9%) for 1479 yards (7.78 ypa, 184.9 ypg), 8 td, 1 int

It is only fair to point out that the 7 games that make up the "before" data includes teams like East Carolina, UNLV, BGSU, Rutgers, and Indiana. The 8 teams that make up the "after" data includes teams like Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa, Alabama, and Washington. But they had a span of 4 games (Penn State, Maryland, Ohio State, and Iowa) where McCarthy didn't get a total of 500 yards, combined. Is that what you do with a quarterback who you think should be a starting quarterback in the NFL? I mean - the cheaters won the games the best way they had - stop McCarthy from throwing the ball too much, because he wasn't who you wanted people to think he was.
