2029 CA WR Austin Miller is a Buckeye!!!

Well, when they report for work-outs, the # of *s simply aren't there anymore. It's recruit v recruit. Whoever has the talent, the heart, works the hardest, 'gets it' the fastest, will play. Has always been tOSU's mantra. The best player plays. He who makes the plays gets to play, or some iteration of that. Would think that a highly rated 5* coming in with a bit of a swagger (based on past laurels, rating or ? might find that the upper classmen might/would hit him a tad harder, etc. Storylines abound about the vaunted player coming in humbley, and working his fanny off to earn a spot. Does tOSU still assign 'big brothers' to take the recruits under their wing, to show them the ropes (and the things not to do?)

Ohio State's scheduling big time non-conference opponents

I know you said "just some" of those opponents. But here's some more:
USC in the late 80s or early 90s. We got smoked in LA and then lost a close one in the rain at home.
Notre Dame in 95 and 96.
BC in the early 90s. I know they aren't always a powerhouse team, but those games were likely scheduled just after the Flutie years.
NC State in 03 and 04. Same deal - not a powerhouse team, but remember Phillip Rivers? He was no shlub.
Washington State in 02 was no shlub. There was supposed to be a return trip to Washington State, but they became a shlub so Ohio State cancelled that.
Washington in 07 and 08, I believe.
Oregon was supposed to be a 2-game series, starting in 21 or 22, I believe. But then they joined the Big Ten so they cancelled the second game.
Cal in 11 and 12, or something. I'm just kidding. They were terrible.

We scheduled those games with Cal in 2007. They were decent at the time with 2 10 win seasons in the last 3 years heading into 2007. We ended up catching them right at the time they hit complete rock bottom.

What are you currently watching on TV?

It's only been one episode, but "Laterns" on HBO is really really good.

Do you remember how Andor was the "Star Wars show for people that hated Star Wars?"

Laterns is the Super Hero show for people that hate Super Heros shows.
It's basically a buddy cop show but very dark. More to come on this - but this might be as good as "The Penguin"

Miami (FL) Hurricanes (1926-2003)

Maybe in Columbus, but in Miami?

Dead hookers aren't exactly extraordinary down there.

I'm thinking the feds already have him for whatever the hell it was so the dismissal is more of a procedural thing.
feds....or the Cubans :pimp:

Or the Colombians....you know...wanna get him out of the locker room before the hit squad shows and stuff....

Denver Broncos (Official Thread)

Falcons officially fall to the Broncos 27-7 in their first preseason  matchup. Even though it's preseason, this was disappointing. #RiseUp  #AtlantaFalcons's preseason, this was disappointing. #RiseUp  #AtlantaFalcons

Sean Payton chirps Falcons, rehashing long-time rivalry​

The NFC South rivalry between the Saints and Falcons is a tale as old as time, and former New Orleans coach Sean Payton apparently wants to remain in the middle of it—even though he’s currently leading the Broncos.

While taking part in a halftime interview during Denver’s preseason game in Atlanta on Friday, Payton took it upon himself to take a jab at Falcons fans—or lack thereof.

Which baseball record will never be broken?

Born Denton True Young. He went by the name Dent Young in his early years. Young was also known as "Farmer Young" and "Farmboy Young". During his tryout, Young impressed the scouts, recalling years later, "I almost tore the boards off the grandstand with my fast ball."Cy Young's nickname came from the fences that he had destroyed using his fastball. The fences looked like a cyclone had hit them. Reporters later shortened the name to "Cy", which became the nickname Young used for the rest of his life.
