Zippercat said:
Welcome to BP Conor! Thanks for that offer. Unfortunately I personally can’t make this game. If I was there I would be very interested in the tour of your incredible stadium.


[Note the different spelling ochre……and note that as far I know the Dallas Cowboys have never had anything to do with the Connor from scUM.]

how often am I going to be able to spin "we don't cotton to <whatever> around here" organically like that (particularly with a Cotton bowl reference too)?

RB Archie Griffin (All B1G, All-American, 1974 & 1975 Heisman Trophy Winner, B1G Champion, CFB HOF)

brodybuck21
“IT MEANS A LOT.” Ohio State legend Archie Griffin appeared on the ESPN Awards Show last week and discussed what it means to him to be college football’s only two-time Heisman Trophy winner, which current players impress him and what Columbus and the state of Ohio mean to him.

On being college football’s only two-time Heisman Trophy winner​

“Well, it means a lot, but I’ll be honest with you, I still think it’s gonna be broken. You know, I did it, so I know that there’s somebody else out there that’s gonna do it. But what it means to me, it really reminds me of how fortunate I’ve been to play on some great teams during my time at The Ohio State University. I played with some great coaches at The Ohio State University, but the teams that I played on, they are what really, really made me who I am and gave me the opportunity to do the things that I did during my time there. So I think of those folks because they are the ones that really made the difference. They made it happen, and I’m delighted to have had that opportunity to play with them because, again, they made it happen.”

On the current college football players he admires​

“Well, I admire a lot of college football players. I certainly pay a whole lot of attention to The Ohio State University, and I really appreciate the things that our offense has done at The Ohio State University. Julian Sayin has done a terrific job there as a young quarterback. I like him. I like our running back, Bo Jackson, who’s doing an outstanding job. As a matter of fact, I can tell you that I like all those backs in the backfield that Ohio State has, and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do from this point on because they still have a chance to do a great job and maybe even win another national championship. Who knows?”

On what Columbus and the state of Ohio mean to him​

“Well, you have to know that I was born at The Ohio State University Hospital, so as you can imagine, that means a lot to me when I can be on that field and look on the south side of the field and see the actual hospital that I was born in. It means a whole heck of a lot to me. When I was a young kid, I can remember walking down to The Ohio State University, standing on the south side of the field, looking in — it was a time when you could look inside Ohio Stadium — and thinking, man, if I had an opportunity to play here, wouldn’t that be fantastic?”

Say that again?

Sorry.

Continue, Mr. Griffin.

“And it ended up being a dream come true. So it was unbelievable what that meant to me to have that chance to play at The Ohio State University, and not only me play there, but to have my brothers play with me because I played with two of my brothers during my time at Ohio State. So that was just a wonderful opportunity, not only for me, but for my family because my folks, who always followed us, had a chance to come to Ohio State University, watch their kids play, and enjoy all the things that went on in the city of Columbus, Ohio, as we played our football there.”

This.

This is how a Heisman Trophy finalist and winner acts.

ttun basketball (Juwan out, Dusty May in)

Agreed. Protect the cash flow, invest to keep that flowing, and look around to see where to invest the excess to gain the largest returns. That's corporate economics 101. Can certainly apply to college sports, but without that certitude of the returns. Hope that the NIL that went to mens basketball last year, was kept after the Duke and Kentucky xfers left after mediocre years. Guess Diebs has to whip the Buckeyes home in the Dance to achieve a 'raise' in NIL funding. Results begats more $, or somesuch.

Ohio State vs. West Virginia (in Cleveland), Saturday Dec. 13, 8pm EST, ESPNU

calibuck
Truly believe that we saw the 'coming out' of Bynum. Thornton did what he does...and does it cool as a cucumber. Don't see any extra effort, but he's always in the right place. Bynum added a dimension to the offense. A follow-up slammer, is something longed for, but not readily seen from the Buckeyes. (Unless it's from the other team). Again, WVA was hitting 3's from incredible places, and tOSU was bungling bunnies all night. But, on the positive side, tOSU was making free throws! Like a team should. And tOSU showed some heart. Devin playing most of second half with four fouls, AND staying in the game. Huge. Liked the Tilly/Knowles substitution, early and often, keeping them fresh. Mobley did his share, but made some unfortunate, head-scratching fouls throughout. Anyway, on to the next. Look at the standings, and the B10 has more than several teams ranked, so far this year. Go Bucks!

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.
