2026 IL TE Mack Sutter (Alabama Verbal)

Could work that way. Not saying I know anything, but...if tOSU has 'pots' of cash for every position group, and some was committed for Fordham, stands to reason that that allocation could be mingled with a new one to create a larger NIL for Sutter. Looks like the TE position will be depleted by end of next year, Klare and Thurman run out of eligibility, and Kac gone as well, so Sutter may be a bigger need. Anyway, no new info here, just a thought or so. Go Bucks! Me likey that the TE position is becoming more involved in the offense (more than blocking), even though the WRs are mostly 5*s, and are biding their time before playing on Sundays.

Columbus Aviators (Official Thread)

UFL Plans to Have Former Buckeyes Play for Columbus Aviators, Eager to Work with Ohio State

158567_h.jpg


Former Ohio State football players who aren’t on NFL rosters will soon have an opportunity to continue their professional football careers in Columbus.

The United Football League – the No. 2 professional football league in America – announced earlier this week that it will play in Columbus starting in 2026 as it relocates one of its eight teams to Ohio’s capital city for next season. The Columbus Aviators will play at Historic Crew Stadium, with the season set to begin in late March.

And the UFL has plans to ensure that former Ohio State players who join the league play in the same city where they were once college stars.
Mike Repole, who leads the league’s business operations after becoming a co-owner of the UFL earlier this year, says the league plans to give the Aviators first dibs on Ohio State players who are interested in playing in the UFL.

“Every player that comes out of that Ohio State program, if they want to continue playing football (in the UFL), they'll be playing here,” Repole said Thursday at the Columbus Aviators’ introductory press conference.

While the UFL has a draft and free agency, Repole indicated that each of the league’s eight teams will get the first opportunity to add players from colleges within a 100-mile radius of their home cities. All eight teams are owned by the league, giving the UFL the ability to decide if they want players to play for specific teams, though each team has its own general manager.

How's the weather?

I've been a resident of the Valley of the Sun for 28 years now. I have enough time to have gathered some data and recognized patterns. Summers here are long and brutal. October has historically been our savior, but not always. There's like this rule that if we don't have some kind of rain event in October, summer will last well into November. If we do get that weather event afterward we transition to fall. It has been unseasonably warm here lately but thanks to Hurricane Priscilla, we're getting our weather event. We're going from 100 degrees during the day and mid 70's at night into mid eighties during the day and 60's at night. That will soon transition to 70's-50's and then, peak winter, 60's-40's.

DB Dustin Fox (National Champion)

I knew Debbie Mullins, Tim Fox's wife still today. They were really nice people and I've always read articles that appeared over the years. Tim complained of CTE at one point, saying that he was a living, breathing petri dish of it or something similar to that. I wouldn't surprise me that his nephew also might have CTE-related symptoms after following a similar career path.

Game Thread Minnesota at #1 tOSU, Sat. Oct. 4th, 7:30 pm ET, NBC

1. QB Julian Sayin (91.9)​

For the first time this season, an offensive player was graded as Ohio State's best. Following Sayin's performance against Minnesota, he earned the Big Ten's highest grades in offense (91.9) and passing (92.1). Sayin also led the conference with three big-time throws, defined by PFF as “a pass with excellent ball location and timing, generally thrown further down the field and/or into a tighter window.”

2. WR Carnell Tate (86.9)​

For a quarterback to have a good game, he needs receivers who catch the ball. Tate was the go-to player for Sayin in Saturday night's win over the Gophers as he hauled in nine catches for 183 yards and a touchdown.

The Illinois native was the highest-graded receiver in the Big Ten for overall offense (86.9). He earned the second-highest grade in receiving with 85.1, just behind Illinois' Hank Beatty (85.7).

3. S Lorenzo Styles Jr. (84.8)​

Styles tallied three tackles, a pass breakup and had a shared tackle for loss against P.J. Fleck's team. PFF graded him as the Big Ten's second-highest-rated safety in overall defense (84.8) and coverage (83.8) for Week 6.

WR Marvin Harrison, Jr. (Silver Football, 2x Unanimous All-American, 2023 Biletnikoff winner, Heisman Finalist, Arizona Cardinals)

Explodes for 4 catches for 98 yards in the 1st quarter just to be ignored the rest of the game. Trash QB and trash coaching are not helping him build momentum

All you can do is laugh. Between the OC and QB it’s completely disfunctional. At least they provide us with the dumbest highlights.

Dallas Cowboys (Official Thread)

Jerry Jones gives baffling explanation on why he flipped off Jets fans in viral moment that cost him $250K

Login to view embedded media
Never ask Jerry Jones to communicate via sign language.

The Dallas Cowboys owner said it was never his intention to issue a middle finger to fans at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, and that the “unfortunate” gesture was supposed to be a celebratory thumbs up.

Jones went viral on social media for casting a quick one-finger salute from his suite — seemingly directed at the local crowd — following Dak Prescott’s fourth touchdown pass during the Cowboys’ 37-22 road victory over the New York Jets.

The gesture has proved costly with the NFL levying a $250,000 fine against the Cowboys’ owner that he will appeal, per NFL Network.

“That was unfortunate. That was kind of an exchange with our fans out in front of us,” Jones said Tuesday before the reveal of the fine during a radio appearance on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.

“There was a swarm of Cowboys fans out in front — not Jets fans, Cowboys fans. The entire stadium was brimming with enthusiasm of Cowboys and certainly late in the game.

“[The gesture] was inadvertent on my part because that was right after we made our last touchdown, and we were all excited about it. There wasn’t any antagonistic issue or anything like that. I just put up the wrong show on the hand.

“That was inadvertently done. I’m not kidding. If you want to call it accidental, you can call it accidental. But it got straightened around pretty quick. I had a chance to look at it. It got straightened out pretty quick, but the intention was ‘thumbs up,’ and basically pointing at our fans because everybody was jumping up and down excited.”
