Jeremiah's bobble wasn't a fumble at all, and the whole "controversy" is absurd. Preliminarily, since he'd clearly established possession and control well before the bobble, none of the rules about whether something is a catch apply (I know we all know this but those rules seem to have been in some commentators minds). Then, if a player is carrying the ball in the field of play but never actually loses it (i.e. it hits the turf or another player grabs it out of the air), it's not recorded as a fumble or as any kind of loss of possession. Smith bobbled the ball, but he never lost possession of it by fumbling it.

You have to be rock solid in your belief in that efficiency.

You think about it though, and I'm glad you brought his up because it's been one thing I've been looking at all year the same way as you-like what in the hell is he doing? ...it's a refinement of Tresselball.

The old school, defense and field position philosophy was always said to be the "surest path to victory" and I argued my ass off during the Tressel years that that was no longer the case. Offenses have gotten better, they won't make as many self inflicted wounds if you just try to keep it in front of you and protect a 7 point lead with a rested defense.

Early Urban Meyer philosophy was score in volume and fuck resting the defense. Defense is there to get the offense the ball back. This was a swing too far the other way and all that volume dilutes the efficiency.

This is the perfect update, if you are going to compete on skill, because you are beating people with a rate stat while 95% of them are still thinking in absolute numbers/counting stats. "We ran for more yards, we will win"

This approach is sort of like saying I can hold my breath longer than you so I'm going to take air out of the room and wait for you to keel over.

It's fascinating to me and once I saw it, I was even more impressed with the change in Day. It's fucking ruthless and smart. I love it.

Mother fucking MAN. I wish I could up vote this post 100 times! This is what it’s all about and this video should be pinned! These Michigan kids got their shit shoved in repeatedly. That fat boy in the second clip got embarrassed and #4 in the 3rd clip was completely out leveraged and smashed. I can hear him laughing hysterically after these plays. Soft as fuck, weak as fuck, owned all day!

I guess that explains how JJ ended up an NFL starting QB. Vikings had it good last year and threw it all away for some reason.

Saving for posterity because I have no idea how I got here other than dumb luck and I fully expect a Conference Championship week collapse.

Some of you guys seem to be under the very mistaken impression that there is top-tier NIL money behind OSU basketball. In comparison to the landscape of college hoops, there is no chance OSU is spending money in the same ballpark as the blue bloods. Cooper Flagg made $28 million in NIL at Duke last season - OSU basketball is never going to compete with that. We literally have guys leaving the team and/or choosing other schools for NIL every year - and these aren't just guys who would help the team, these are players that actually started at OSU or obviously would start at OSU. That hurts your team's ceiling bigtime when NIL is keeping you from fielding an appropriate starting 5 every year. When there isn't enough money behind OSU basketball to field a top-tier starting 5, you have to start coming to grips with reality and understand there's no move you can make with the coaching staff to correct the underlying problem. The NIL money is mostly behind the football program, plain and simple.
