Ohio State vs. #13 Illinois, Tuesday Dec. 9, 730pm EST, Peacock

A front rim friendly bounce 3. Gotta be kidding.

There’s just a losing stench that won’t go away.

This game wasn't as bad as it coulda been but yea these are the types of games we need to start winning to flip the script and eliminate that stench. Gotta get em at home cause we really likely aren't on the road, the better teams in the conference.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Yuck. I know it’s all coming but it sure doesn’t make me enthusiastic about the future.

The bigger the league (32-48 teams), with only big boy teams, the more likely you get revenue sharing and then parity. Buckeyes’ chances at winning titles then diminishes.

Sorry but I quite like that Ohio State is positioned in the 1% now. I have enough shitty, pro teams that never accomplish anything.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

He'll be 33 right in the middle of the WBC in March.

His career more or less is the same as Adam Dunn (a few more homers maybe), but at least Dunn sorta played some defense.

Could you imagine paying Adam Dunn $30 million at season to hit .230 and strike out 200+ times?! :lol:

Marty's head just exploded

:lol:

all joking aside, you aren't paying him 30MM a year to hit .230, you are paying him $30MM a year for having the 6th best wRC+ in baseball last year.

Indiana Hoosiers (your shinebox, go f'n get it)

Don't know about the stats, but watching the game I felt like we had been outplayed most of it. Hell, go back to the game thread (I'm not going to) and you can quote my halftime comment about being outplayed but still winning. We finally played in the 4th quarter (until their final kill clock drive giving up that long bomb), but came up short with some shit 3rd and 1 play calls and shit execution on a QB sneak and FG. Unfortunately, that's a game where you can't basically take 3 quarters off and come away with a win. I'm mostly talking offense here, as the defense did well and were on the field a lot.

DT Tommy Togiai (Houston Texans)

Togiai records 10 tackles in Sunday night spotlight​

Now in his fifth year in the NFL, Tommy Togiai had the best game of his pro career in the Houston Texans’ 20-10 win against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Making just his second start of the season at defensive tackle, Togiai led the Texans’ defensive effort by recording a career-high 10 tackles, including a sack of Patrick Mahomes.

Login to view embedded media
He was the first NFL defensive tackle this season – and just the ninth ever – to record 10 tackles with a sack and multiple quarterback hits in a game.


Togiai had four total quarterback pressures vs. Mahomes, according to Pro Football Focus, which gave Togiai the seventh-highest overall grade (82.2) among NFL defensive tackles in Week 14.

In recognition of his standout performance, Togiai wins our Pro Buck of the Week award as the top performer among NFL players from Ohio State in Week 14.

I watched a couple minutes of that game and damn... he was on fire.
