Ohio State @ Wisconsin, Saturday Jan. 31, 2pm EST, FOX

You're right, that's been the one constant with three coaches over practically 10 years now, not enough dogs, too many puppies. Wisconsin really exposed OSU's lack of post presence - both offensively and defensively, it was embarrassing. Blackwell for Wisconsin is the perfect example of the type of player OSU needs more of, a guy who will bully his way to the basket and not let a defender being in his way stop him. You need a team filled with guys who can handle some bumps, be able to play through contact, get to the foul line and convert in the paint, but over the last several seasons OSU puts together teams with maybe 2 guys who can do it and 8 who can't. There absolutely should be a higher priority in recruiting players with the requisite size, strength and athleticism to hold their own at the B1G level. At this point, what justification is there for continuing to recruit based on the same failed emphasis on offensive skillset over all else?
The problem is they aren't skilled either. Year after year this team has no strengths to beat you. They aren't going to out shoot you, they aren't going to out defend you, they aren't going to out pace you. etc

Thee Ohio State University News

Never thought of that connection. Guess Wexner coulda been chumming Epsteins waters to provide women's 'flimseys' for his parties. These young 'uns couldn't have been able/required to provide their own party duds. Have seen the U-tubes where the young hottie asks the old guy how old he is, and he replies '$70 million in the bank', and she replies that's a great age....

CG John “Juni” Mobley, Jr. (Official Thread)

Hey, even Jack, Arnie and Tiger have off days. But Mobley seems to have an over-tall, equally agile person hounding him, with or without the ball. And Mobley does get tired. Against Wiscy, he seemed to be getting shots, but just a tad off. With his defender denying him the ball, and our screeners not exactly bulky, they were fighting through to keep pressure on. Let us not forget that Thornton was way below his scoring average as well, and Devin (though he had an upscale game), couldn't outduel the Wiscy bigs (who always seemed around the basket). Team loss.

2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

And Keith Byers finished second in Heisman, behind what's his name's Hail Mary pass. If one takes a long look at the row of Heisman's in the Woody, of the eight, all but one are for running backs.....and as many of have pointed out, there have been some great ones wearing S&G, all of whom could have won that trophy, except for X, who might have had a game or two that were show stoppers. Such is life, am guessing. PS, may have mixed up the # of Heismans (Heismens?) with the National Championships...
