To clarify, this was the Jordan Hicks I said we would land on defense.

I'm never predicting another Jordan Hicks to OSU again.

That is incredible engineering. They've had a few engineering problems over the years too, but my goodness, that is impressive.

Yeah to Thump's cry of 'Bagmen'. Cignetti is ticking off his accomplishments, win B10, win a Nati, sign best in Indiana. Gotta give him credit. But back to Sales, cannot blame him at all, and good luck to him. We'll see how well he gets prepared for the NFL there, but should get many more minutes at Indy than tOSU. Depth chart probably worked against tOSU, given the stable of current 5*s, and verbaled 5*'s acoming. And Cignetti always seems to land a polished QB. Really don't know how good their teaching staff/coaches are, so do not have an informed opinion. But must be adequate to the tasks. Good luck, wait until our DBs line up against you, and remember they go daily against tOSU's 5* WRs in practice.

IU had a 1st round pick(same amount of 1st round WRs drafted as OSU) and 4th rounder after winning an NC. Thats A LOT to sell a hometown kid

Well, it's been my experience that laws are made/written, whatever. However, they don't mean much until they are adjudicated in a court of law. Where each and every sentence is sliced and diced. An allegory might be - what's the speed limit? Answer is - whatever the highway patrol enforces. Same with players CBA, and the 'five to play five' rulings.

As I suspected

When Tarkanian (sp?) was at UNLV, was rumored that one staffer was a lawyer. Maybe TSUN needs to consider that as well. Not certain if this guy would be prosecutor or defense attorney though....

A long time ago, my wife's brother had a dog. I don't think we were married yet. But he had a dog. Then he moved back in with his parents, and the dog moved in, too. Then he moved out. And the dog didn't move out. Even though he lived in the area, he didn't go "home" that often. He's an interesting guy. Anyway, maybe twice a year he'd see them. And when the dog saw him, she was the happiest dog in the world. She probably lived 3/4 of her life without him, but she always remembered that 1/4 of her life.

US Recues Beluga Whales Stranded In Canada.....

Dozens of beluga whales facing euthanasia at abandoned Canadian amusement park to be relocated to US aquariums​

Login to view embedded media
Earlier this year, Marineland threatened to euthanize the whales unless the Canadian government could provide more funding for their care.

Dozens of beluga whales that were stranded for weeks at a closed Canadian amusement park will get a new life in the U.S. after American officials approved an international rescue plan to move the marine mammals to aquariums around the country.

The whales were left stranded at Marineland, an aquatic park in Niagara Falls, Ontario, for years after it closed to the public in 2024. Marineland continued to care for the whales at the park while trying to sell them.

Earlier this year, according to reporting by People, Marineland threatened to euthanize the whales unless the Canadian government could provide more funding for their care.
In response, supporters and animal rights activists have been calling on other aquariums to take in the whales. The Canadian Broadcasting

Corporation reported Thursday that a deal had been reached with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for an emergency rescue.

Under the plan, NOAA will help coordinate the transportation of the whales to aquariums in the U.S. that are accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

In a statement to CBC, Marineland officials said they welcome the relocation plans.

"We recognize we can no longer provide the long-term care these animals require, and we believe this rescue. . .is in the whales' best interest," Marineland officials said.

Under the plan, 28 of the 30 whales will be split among four U.S. facilities. Officials said 13 would go to SeaWorld San Antonio, three would go to SeaWorld San Diego, 10 would go to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and two would go to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.

The remaining whales would be relocated to Oceanogràfic València in Spain pending final permits.

Although the relocation has been finalized, it isn't something that can happen overnight. Beluga whales, although smaller than many of their family members, can reach up to 16 feet long and weigh up to 3,500 pounds. Moving even one, along with the water required to keep it safe and comfortable, is a massive task. Multiplying that by 28 is a significant undertaking for American conservationists.

“This rescue effort will take several weeks to mobilize and complete, and the comfort and safety of the whales remains of the utmost importance,” a representative of the participating aquariums said in a statement to People.

Interesting thread. Wondered if Nike was asked to help out on DGG, like 'word has it' that Tennessee asked their sponsor for some bucks for their NIL pot. Or anyone else for that matter. Would make economic sense, and is another income source to consider.

Skull Session: Jaylen McClain Names Three Under-the-Radar Buckeyes Entering 2026, Urban Meyer Reflects on the Cost of Ohio State’s 2016 Loss to Penn State

Jaylen McClain names three under-the-radar Buckeyes entering 2026, and Urban Meyer thinks a missed penalty led to Ohio State’s 2016 loss against Penn State.

www.elevenwarriors.com

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN. Urban Meyer believes one missed penalty changed the course of Ohio State's 2016 season.

In a clip from The Triple Option released this week, Meyer said an uncalled penalty on a late field goal attempt prevented the Buckeyes from tying Penn State — and ultimately cost them a Big Ten championship.

Holding a 21-17 lead with 4:39 remaining in the fourth quarter, Ohio State lined up for a 45-yard field goal on 4th-and-7. Penn State blocked Tyler Durbin's kick, and Nittany Lions cornerback Grant Haley scooped up the live ball and returned it for a touchdown, turning Ohio State's three-point lead into a 24-21 deficit.

The Buckeyes had one final chance to respond, but Penn State's defense forced a 4th-and-23 from Ohio State's own 29-yard line, where the offense failed to convert.

“By rule, you can’t physically pull the field goal protector out of the way of the guy jumping through, and Penn State, the one win they got against us in 2016, they blocked the field goal,” Meyer said. “I turned it in, and I didn’t bitch a lot about it; my fault that we ran the field goal team on late. That cost us the Big Ten championship in ’16, and they later came back and said it could have been, and should have been, a penalty, if I remember right. That’s one that might have been — if they would have thrown that flag, obviously we win.”

Ohio State's loss to Penn State was its only regular-season defeat in 2016 and kept the Buckeyes out of the Big Ten Championship Game. Penn State went on to beat Wisconsin 38-31 for the conference title, but the College Football Playoff selection committee still selected Ohio State over the Nittany Lions for the four-team playoff.

Penn State lost to USC in the Rose Bowl.

Ohio State lost to Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl.

I wonder if those results would have been different if the referees had thrown a piece of yellow laundry 10 years ago at Beaver Stadium.

The world may never know.

Massive great white shark spotted off NC coast. See where its headed​

The Atlantic Ocean's largest tagged great white shark in history recently resurfaced off the coast of North Carolina near the Outer Banks, scientists said.

At nearly 14 feet long, the big fish named "Contender" appears to be heading toward Cape Cod and the eastern coast of Canada, according to a OCEARCH, a global non-profit marine research group tracking shark sightings and migration.

Researchers first tagged the massive great white shark on Jan. 17, 2025 off the Florida-Georgia coast, according to online data from the non-profit.

Most recently Contender breached the surface just before 2 p.m. ET on July 10.

Just sayin': Anyone think Contender will pay a visit to Amity Island along the way?

Darn Tough socks.

Depth Chart Outlook​

Fahey is competing for the QB3 spot as a freshman in 2026 with Justyn Martin, a fifth-year quarterback who transferred to Ohio State this offseason. His first chance to compete for the starting job could come in 2027, assuming Julian Sayin enters the 2027 NFL draft.

That said, Fahey will have a challenging path to a future starting job at Ohio State. Current QB2 Tavien St. Clair is the heavy favorite to be Ohio State’s next starting quarterback after Sayin, and given Ryan Day's track record at OSU, there's a good chance that five-star quarterbacks will continue to come to Columbus even after Sayin and St. Clair are gone.

That’s not to say that Fahey lacks the talent to be a big-time quarterback, even though he is a bit undersized at 5-11. That said, Fahey isn't afraid of the competition and how tough it will be to be QB1 for Ohio State. In fact, he has expected it since the moment he committed to the Buckeyes.

“At other schools, I felt like the path to being a starting quarterback was easier. But again, I don't want to be scared of competition when in life you're going to have to compete,” Fahey said. “I know those guys will make me work hard at every aspect while I'm there, if that's on the field, in the weight room, sprints. And again, my goal is to be an NFL quarterback. And when you're around people who are better than you, it only pushes you to be better. It only makes you work that much harder.”
