High School St. Henry Redskins

calibuck
Recollect that every tOSU coach made a stop at St. Henry, to recruit their best and finest. These days, maybe not so much. But in it's day, St. Henry was every bit a viable pipeline as Glenville. Glenville has survived, and continues to produce D-1 players (most of whom matriculate to tOSU), versus St. Henry, seems not so much. Have no doubt that alot/many of the St. Henry grads get football scholarships, just not so many get one from tOSU. Just my opinion, and being a slave to recruiting.

the golf thread

calibuck
Out here we play golf 12 months a year. Granted, not as diligent during winter (when we tee it up, it's been 42 outside), but still is playable. Not a lot of grass, given that the bermuda goes dormant in winter, but can bump it to get a bit of leverage under the ball. However, need something to do in winter, so have given an eye to the work-out rooms at a course, a bubbled up pool would be nice. But, have been playing at a golf-only courses for last 30 years. And of course, need a dining room to take my wife 'where everybody knows your name', but C'bus has some very fine dining options. Do appreciate your help AKAK.

Stupid two point conversions (SimpLLLLLe Jim loves 'em, and so does James Franklin)

I'm watching the Thursday Night game. Bucs vs. Falcons. 28-14, 4th quarter, when the Falcons scored to make it 28-20. They tried to get 2, and failed. Fine. I get the analytics. If you get it, you just need another touchdown + 1 to win. If you fail, you have another chance to tie.
But does it ever work? They were then down 28-20, and scored another touchdown. Now they NEED to get 2... but they failed again. 3:29 left now, down 2, and the other team has the ball.
Does this move ever work?

Now that I think of it, I think the Browns also had a similar situation on Sunday. And failed both times.
Stop trying to be fancy.

Still very dumb to me. This new fad. Even as a “numbers” guy it doesn’t make sense to me practically.

The idea is you make 50% of 2pt conversions? So you make the first and you’re in the driver’s seat to win easy with a TD+XP. Or you miss and get the next 2pt conversion to tie. But that 50% chance doesn’t care about the previous miss. You can still miss 2 in a row.

That doesn’t even get into situational stuff - matchup, offense vs defense, momentum, psychological impact of missing. Just kick the XPs and tie. Keep the pressure on the team blowing a 14 point lead. Or at least kick the first then maybe be ballsy go for a win at the end.
