Game Thread Illinois at tOSU, Sat. Sept. 26, 12pm ET, FOX

Quick recap of the posters on BuckeyePlanet's message board.......a board that has a rule to not bash players/coaches/team. A board that has specific violations for Gameday threads. A board that, for some reason, allows for its own thread for bitching, whining, and moaning during games:

- Ohio State won a football game 42 - 19.
- Jeremiah Smith tied the record for most receiving TDs in a game with 4.
- Jeremiah Smith set a personal record of receiving yards and receptions.
- Julian Sayin looked elite throwing, and added some clutch runs that fans have been clamoring for.

The same fans you would expect spent the whole game throwing a hissy fit, because they didn't win every single snap. As if the other team was trying to win.

And again, the team we all love won a conference game by 3 TDs.

Well when you put it that way... :lol:

QB Lincoln Kienholz (National Champion, transfer to Louisville)

For however much the transfer portal and current state of affairs in College Football are looked at negatively, this take is refreshing. It's nice to see players thrive that otherwise would have squandered their college career middling on the bench.

Miami (Ohio) Redhawks

Miami University RedHawks - Miami University RedHawks

American Conference not pursuing expansion, but 3 interested​

The American Conference said it is not pursuing new members at this time after overtures from three schools about possibly joining the league.

In a statement to ESPN, the American said it is "not proactively seeking additional members. We will continue to evaluate the changing landscape and opportunities that strengthen the conference and support our collective mission."

The statement came after Miami (Ohio), James Madison and UConn had reached out about potentially joining the league, sources told ESPN. The American currently has 14 football-playing members.

Miami (MAC) and James Madison (Sun Belt) play football in different leagues, while UConn is one of two FBS independents in football, the other being Notre Dame. Most of UConn's teams, including men's and women's basketball, compete in the Big East. UConn played football in the American from 2014 to 2019 before going independent for the second time in its history.

"We strive every day for excellence and to best position our student-athletes and university," JMU's athletic department said in a statement. "Our charge is to evaluate every opportunity to make JMU Athletics the best it can be now and moving forward."

The American most recently expanded in 2024 with Army after adding six new members in 2023.

On3 first reported the interest from Miami (Ohio), JMU and UConn, adding that Miami offered the American $30 million to $40 million to join the league.

Report: James Madison, Miami (OH), UConn attempt to join American​

The American Conference has several suitors for expansion, if the league chooses to go down that road.

James Madison, Miami (OH), and UConn each contacted the American about potential membership, per On3 Sports' Brett McMurphy. However, the league is not interested in expanding at this time, per McMurphy.

Just sayin': Apparently Fredo was actually looking to leave the MAC.

Indiana Hoosiers (2025 National Champions)

If they lose Turbo Richards for a spell that is bad for them.
Not necessarily devastating.....

Next man up: Beebe had 24 carries, 203 yards, and 1 TD

2027 OH RB Jordan Hall (Miami, OH Decommit, Verbal Offer)

15 carries for 140 yards and 4 TDs tonight over Lakota East. Yards per carry average was brought down by some short yardage TDs. Added 2 receptions for 20 yards. With Elder's loss tonight, Princeton should sail into the playoffs with the #1 seed in the area.

How does work make you feel today?

If I ever build a tower, I'm not going to number the floors 1, 2, 3, 4, ... They'll be numbered just with prime numbers. There will be no floor 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, ...
that could get interesting REAL fast …. better yet … to make the build more secure … start with the first 7 digit prime and go up from there
