Speaking of playoffs, if the SEC were to get 4 teams in this year, how much crying will happen because it isn't 5?

I didn't watch too much TV in the ai80's. I can only name a few sitcoms because i saw them at friend's house. But as a gen x kid who lived the gen x meme in the 70's, drinking from hoses, playing outside until the street lights came on, the one show that we all watched together as a family was Kolchak The Night Stalker. I can still remember playing outside and my mother calling from the front door to come in, Kolchak was on. Another family memory was watching The Little Rascals and The Three Stooges on UHF, channel 52.

Not as bad as I expected. Seemed a bit hesitant a few times and choose safe options over a few cutbacks or bounces that could’ve lost yards.

Still showed impressive burst a few times. Hard to judge based just on this game. Zeke didn’t have over 60 yards until his 4th game, so I hope he gets plenty of time to adjust and get comfortable.

Yeah, I see one obvious bad read (0:59 mark) and a couple less than optimal reads in there (last couple runs in the clip). But you can also see the explosiveness and shiftiness in there (e.g., at the 0:28 mark). The Texas defense was fast to attack the ball and he was facing an 8 man box through much of the day - by design just not a lot of wiggle room in the running game.

When will Auburn claim to have won the civil war?

I don't think they would go that far.

That said, they do claim to have won the English Civil War and the War of Spanish Succession now.

Word is they are researching their role in defeating Napoleon.

The only thing that kept that "revamped" defense from getting shredded last night was a very pedestrian ND offense.

"we're back"...

Florida, FSU and SMU are on paper the hardest teams on their schedule, but we all know this is Miami and Cristobal. They could just as easily lose to almost anyone on their schedule

I was excited when he was recruited and came to Ohio State due to the family connection and high school videos. He has become a real favorite to focus on in games.

That squat is over 300kgs. At my best, I did 288kgs on the lowly leg sled press machine. I just checked and 200 kgs is considered elite. 300 kgs must be off the charts, right?

For Styles to be that lean, that fast, and with that jumping ability on top of it, "freak athlete" is truly the best way to describe it. I mean, his squat numbers don't make sense given the above. And you don't get there without extreme work and discipline.

I remember reading a long-form piece on Saquon Barkley when he was at Penn State, the workouts he was doing, and the weight he was putting up. I do not like Penn State, but I would not cheer against Barkley after reading about his work ethic. It surprises me none the success he has had in college and now in the NFL.

And Styles has a bright future ahead of him with that similar kind of work ethic to go along with his size and speed. As long as he keeps progressing in his on the field play, the sky is the limit. He made big strides towards the end of last season.

And that 2002 B1G Championship was shared with the Buckeyes simply because they didn't play each other that year. IIRC the Bucks won something kinda big that year themselves.

And he won Big Ten coach of the year over Tressel that year as well.

Always pulling for these local kids to earn the Buckeye offer and become solid contributors and stars for the Buckeyes down the road. I hope Day is successful with getting players who are down to work extremely hard and wait their turns. I appreciate the updates on Miller and kids like him. GO BUCKS

Well, that solidifies the long line of #1 WRs coming to C'bus. He's been solid forever. Come on down and take your place amongst the best room in the land. You may not start from day 1, but what you're going to learn along the way will help you at the next level.

Is it just me, or do these kids seem to get younger each year?

Hoban alum here.. love this kids heart.. I do not believe the 40 times.. by a lot... I've seen this kid many times..
He might have the frame to put on more weight... but I can't wait to see how he does at LB
Not sure I see him as a fast twitch guy..

Might even be an interesting TE
Watch out for Wisconsin... they are all over the Knights...

He is the second fastest kid on the team next to Rock Hill. The 40 times are public info, the teams have them and a gps vest is as accurate as one can get. Rock and Brayton have both wore them for accurate speeds.

See oddly I never felt threatened by Texas after the first few drives.
