7-3 Home (Maryland, Northwestern, Oregon, Rutgers, Washingon, Iowa, Penn State)

3-7 Away (Minnesota, Penn State, toss up USC/IU/Iowa/UCLA).

0-2 vs. that team up north. They’re building a different program than we are here.

I do see Purdue taking a massive step back this season, so winning in Mackey is much more feasible than it's been of late. IMO they'll have a decent shot at 9-1 in the B1G at home. Not saying they'll be wins, but potentially winnable B1G road games are Minny, PSU, Iowa, UCLA, Nebraska and Purdue. The group of @ UM, USC, IU, ILL are TOUGH.

Why does that coach look like the love child of Fitz and Herbie?

Because someone was sick enough to instruct AI to do just that?

I like it.

that requires an explanation... please tell me it involves what would clearly be an OHSA violation?

That’s fine.
I didn’t want to learn how to say his name, anyway.

Stack up enough OL cordwood, and in two-three years, hopefully someone stands out. Not a terribly unique plan, and when it works, great. When it doesn't, need a QB that can scramble. Also seems like the apparent OL studs visit tOSU, hear their pitch, and compare with what other schools have (to give?), and go elsewhere. Just may be me, but don't see the best OL guys in the portal, and if are, don't sign with tOSU.

Its all relative, in what deems is the "best OL guys in the Portal". Guys like Josh Simmons, Philip Daniels and Seth McLaughlin weren't considered the best in their Portal classes, but they worked out great for the Buckeyes. And the best guys are relative to the needs, because none of the sites know how to rank transfers. And they're left ranking them based off either what they just did at a school or what their HS ranking was. Of all position groups, OL is the biggest crapshoot of them all, in the Portal and with HS recruits

Cade is an outstanding player but if he and the rest of the Pistons were ever called for barreling into their defender then using the forearm to push off so they're wide open for the shot.. Pistons would already be eliminated

One thing you can bet on, UT will have the best team money can buy. Whether they perform like that, kinda up in the air. PS, seem to recollect that tOSU was in the 'hunt' for Brandon Baker, but got outbid by the Longhorns. Anyone know definitively how well he's doing? Or is it a 'whew' that he went to Texas (a la Felix Ojo)? Anyway, I get a bang out of seeing which 'next best things' that was/were going to tOSU find out who cratered, and contrarywise, cringe when look at the pre-season mags and see someone tOSU went after on the ratings lists.....

BUCKEYE TENNIS IS ELITE. Only one school in the country has both its men’s and women’s tennis in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament, and that school is Ohio State.
Login to view embedded media The Ohio State men, seeded third in the NCAA Tournament, will face No. 6 seed TCU in the quarterfinals at 1 p.m. Thursday after beating Buffalo, California and Illinois in the first three rounds of the 64-team tournament. If the Buckeyes beat the Horned Frogs, they’ll advance to the Final Four of the NCAA men’s tennis tournament for the fourth time in five years.

The Buckeye women, also seeded No. 3 overall, are in the quarterfinals for the first time since 2017 and just the third time in program history. They’ll be seeking to earn their second semifinal berth ever when they face No. 11 seed Pepperdine in their quarterfinal match at 1 p.m. Friday.

Both the men’s and women’s NCAA tennis tournaments are being played at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Georgia. The semifinals for both genders are set for Saturday, while the championship matches will be played Sunday.

Burch has been offered by Cincinnati.

Ending up getting my son a 2016 Colorado 4 Door 4 Wheel Drive - 101k on the clock when we bought it (April) - but not a spot of rust, was undercoated, ect. Great little truck.

On the contrary, amending your rules to match your descent into the abyss is maybe rational?

Yeah, I guess on a certain level it is.

Maybe not in terms of survival but in terms of what is real inside the NCAA's bubble, this kind of thing probably does make a lot of sense.

Like a Titanic officers meeting to discuss the sever lack of dress code discipline since the news of the iceberg hit. You just cannot operate a ship with unpolished buttons on uniforms.

Sounds like Notre Dame's green jerseys. Bring them out occasionally. I'm an old guy, so believe the football team should/must be attired in scarlet jerseys and gray pants. Of course gray/silver helmets adorned with buckeye leaves. At home. Maybe wear these black things on a road trip? Unless play Iowa etc.

between this drink and arbys now doing "xl" sizes, its like they are trying to raise wilford brimley from the dead

decided to not replace the whole shed, have decided that I can fix what is there - me that does the work is not happy with me that makes the decisions, me can be a real asshole sometimes. that being said, shed siding replacement is happening as soon as baseball season is over in about 2 weeks. i'm debating on taking a few days off work to get it done, or just do one side per weekend for a month, idk

Michigan is the whiny Hayden Christensen version of Anakin. Didn't get what he wanted, felt entitled to it....like he was owed. Threw a tantrum, then started cheating. The fact they exist at all has probably killed several innocent children, too.
