I wonder if this approach is actually going to start forcing kids to stay put. They have to understand if you’re not a star you need to either stay put or go somewhere small to play.

The big players are just going to poach what they need from the smaller schools like farm systems

Jeez my guy go get a job ir at least try to get drafted

I'm gonna guess based on some film I've seen of the 36 game with Notre Dame that the back side of the pants from the knee to the butt would be red elastic cloth.

In the 1935 game: There appears to be 2 dark colored stripes on the back side of Ohio State's pants.

BB73 probably got to see the 1936 game for just $4.40.....

Well fair enough.

Wonder how long before all major corps start basically competing with each other through teams?

Sticking to driving I've got 3 gripes which I have witnessed recently. 1) Backing out of a parking space like a mad demon and not looking to see if someone is coming. I've had 2 incidents recently where a person backing out of their space too quickly almost collided with me. 2) People who park in spaces that are reserved for others. I'm seeing more and more people without handicap plates parking in handicap spots, parking in spaces reserved for employees of the month. 3) On the street where I live there's a street that runs north-south that has the right of way. The cross street have yield signs. Out on my morning walks I have seen numerous drivers disregard these yield signs and blow right through. There's an accident waiting to happen.

3) "No cop, no stop" seems to be the rule of the land in my neighborhood.
2) Yeah.. this one doesn't bother me. But I think this is legitimate.
1) I agree, but... so I drive a tiny car. I got it when I was driving to/from Philly every other week and got paid for miles. Made a lot of extra money. But, sitting in a parking spot surrounded by huge trucks, SUVs, whatever, I have to back out without seeing. Of course, I go slowly, looking as much as I can. But you get these assholes who don't give a fuck and go flying by behind me without giving anyone a chance. Sure, your point is valid and the other guy (you) has the right-of-way. But give me a break - it's not like I'm trying to cut you off and make it late for your daughters 2nd birthday party.

I think it’s the North vs North thing. ND isn’t as national as they think they are, and Ohio state has been there a lot recently. The southeast annd southwest US likely ignored the game.

IU brought a lot of viewers as a ‘cool story’ and Miami is a great team to hate. It was a great north south battle (most of the folks here in Florida were cheering for IU). Similar to Ohio State vs Oregon. East vs West. Blue blood vs likeable scrappy new team searching for their first title, but that time the villain won.

Also it was a 2 new teams thing. Espescially IU

Could Texas have a potential OL issue in 2026 too?

Texas, Alabama among teams with lingering roster question marks as 2026 transfer portal cycle winds down​

With transfer options dwindling, these teams face some question marks entering spring football​

Texas: Offensive line​

The offensive line was the weak spot of Texas' 2025 roster, forcing Steve Sarkisian to replace two mainstays from that unit. He landed a likely starter at tackle in Melvin Siani but could still benefit from adding a ready-made option on the interior.

Given the Longhorns' aggressive approach at other positions -- and their flawless execution in a highly successful cycle -- it was somewhat surprising that they were only involved with one highly regarded lineman. Perhaps Siani's arrival, combined with another year of development from Trevor Goosby, Brandon Baker and Connor Robertson, will be enough to spark improvement and fill the remaining gap on a championship-caliber roster.

They had Oline issues all this past year.

I laugh, but daughter lives in C'bus. She called, saying that Kroger's lines were loooong, and pretty much store was bare. Other than the fact she's like her mother, about 3-4 months of food in the pantry, she needed lettuce and a couple other expirables. Awaiting the 10-16 inch storm (?). Didn't realize that C'bus had 'stages' of safety, driving in snowy conditions, etc. Hopefully all residents don't have any emergencies, etc. Does anyone know if hospitals are staffed? Sounds like the powers that be don't want anybody on the streets. OK, back to tennis....

The hospitals have to be staffed; they operate 24/7 regardless of the weather conditions.

I guess I should look at more than just the "College Football" and "Professional Football" threads in the off-season. Just stumbled upon this.... 2 weeks ago there was work toward a plan... what's the plan? Do I need to start donating again?

Well, this a shocker….. said no one

Xichigan played a D that I am not familiar with. Thorton was guarded by a Xichigan blanket. It worked. And Xichigan could throw what, 3 7 footers at the basket? Don't care how tall you are, block those suckers out, and force them to go 'over the top' for a rebound (and back them up while they're in the air). Put back stuffs were pretty common, while tOSU guys stood around wondering why their 'man' was scoring. Our second tall guy is a very blunt instrument. Someone above called it correctly. Many tOSU players were passing up open shots, instead passing the ball to our scorers, who were guarded closer then have seen before. And yeah, one doesn't become "Ohio Player of Year" with rebounds, but by scoring, and Cupps and White got their awards by putting the ball in the hole....OK, write it off and move on....

Hey, maybe we can double up on the NIL front, by getting Diebs to kick in for a dual scholarship for the basketbucks? He's got a #4 written all over him. (might help his agility around the line as well).

Well sure, he's glad to be offered by tOSU. It now makes him a 'player' in the NIL sweepstakes. Bet his asking price went up $500 grand.

If I woulda been in the early years, would have named Ohio, OIHIO, as it would have been a palindrome.

LeBron is still so fucking good, 41 years old and he's a basketball God.

They're rounding into form, I'm still skeptical about a postseason run but that's life in the big city.

I'll let Yahbot draft another pack of slappys and cut three All Stars in the first week.
