As for how the battle is going, it hasn’t really gotten off the ground, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel recently said. Neither have attempted a field goal in the pros.

“That’s where the battle is at now. There’s not really much of a battle. There’s no rush,” head coach Mike Vrabel said, via Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. “We have to put them in situations and evaluate them a lot more in training camp and in preseason. But, they’re both working hard and we’re excited to see where that competition leads and then we’ll have to make a decision at that point in time if that’s what’s best for the team and one of those guys moving forward. Everything that we’ve seen thus far, those guys are continuing to improve and work with the timing and the operation with [long snapper] Morgan [Cox] and with [holder] Brett [Kern].”

A&M got dad a job, so I’m just going to work under the assumption that’s where he ends up and be pleasantly surprised if not.
Feels like a situation where Ohio State might just be leverage to encourage the southern suitors to up their game.

I am VERY seriously thinking about Ohio State, they’re a perfect fit for me and where I belong. What do you think about that, Texas A&M?

I mean, even that Ohio recruits who are 1000% Buckeyes don’t post stuff like that on social media typically.

2021-2022 College Bowl Games

Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel gets college football bowl game named after him

Starting this postseason, there will be a college football bowl game named after a talk show host.

Jimmy Kimmel announced Wednesday night that the Dec. 18 bowl game at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles will be known as the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl.

Kimmel joked during “Jimmy Kimmel Live” about the company he joins having a bowl named after him.

“There are so many memorable colorful names – the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl, the Tropical Smoothie Café Frisco Bowl, the LendingTree Bowl, the Cheese-It Bowl,” Kimmel said. “The list goes on and on. And ever since I was 52, which was last year, I have dreamed of having a college football bowl game named after me. And tonight I am thrilled to announce that dream is finally coming true.”

The game, which will feature the No. 1 team from the Mountain West Conference vs. the No. 5 team from the Pac-12, is set to be broadcast on ABC.

According to USA TODAY, it is accurate for Kimmel to say this is the first bowl game named after a person. There was a John Hancock Bowl named after an insurance company. Kimmel joked about “Papa John” not counting.

The same USA TODAY article notes that a company paid $300,000 in 2018 for naming rights to the Bahamas Bowl. It’s unclear how much Kimmel paid to have his name on the LA bowl game.

Just sayin': If Kimmel (or probably the network) only paid in the $300K range for naming rights, that's just "chump change" either of them. In addition, to providing some new/unique material for Kimmel's monologues; it's probably tax write off for either Kimmel or the network to advertise/promote his TV show too.

Ohio State: “Coach Washington showed us that he cared about his players on and off the field. He makes sure they are on top of everything in the classroom. I love the way he coaches his linebackers and the type of defense they run. Being able to talk to my friends and former teammates who go there was great. Knowing their experience has been really good is good for me to know. Coach Day is a really good guy, as is the rest of the staff.”
