Maybe so, but what's his arm length?

To me, doesn't look like he's carrying 290. If so, that would put the coach at around 325 or so.

Just sayin': He had a great run at Ohio State, played 11 seasons in the NFL, and made over $25M in just his NFL contracts.


However, what I mostly remember mostly about him is his mother. His mother Anne Apple led an advocacy effort in January 2015 helping parents of Ohio State players secure travel stipends from the College Football Playoff to attend the national championship game.

Background on the Travel Stipend Fight

• • High Costs: Families spent thousands of dollars out of pocket to travel and watch the team play deep into the postseason.
  • The Push: Annie Apple and other football parents spoke out publicly and pressured organizers regarding the financial burden.
  • The Result: The College Football Playoff and NCAA eventually provided a travel stipend (around $1,250 per parent) to help families offset travel and lodging expenses.

Needless to say, that was years before the start of NIL......

New Hall of Famer Roger Craig reveals dementia diagnosis​

New Hall of Famer Roger Craig revealed during his taped acceptance speech Saturday that he has been diagnosed with vascular dementia.

Craig, 66, said his doctors believe his condition came, in part, from concussions he sustained during his 11-year career as a running back. In his speech, Craig explained that "the changes were gradual" and were initially "dismissed as normal aging."

"Over time, my family noticed it too and ultimately led us to seek answers from my doctor," Craig said. "Two things can be true: Football gave me opportunities beyond anything I could imagine. It helped shape the man I became. At the same time, we know more today about brain health than when I played, and I hope sharing my story encourages people to pay attention to their health and seek help when something doesn't feel right."

Men's Track & Field/Football, 1992-94
Chris Sanders was a dual-sport athlete at Ohio State, excelling at football and as a member of the track & field team. He earned Ohio State Male Athlete of the Year honors, across all sports, in 1994.

As a member of the football team, Sanders was a three-year starter at wide receiver, totaling 71 career receptions for 1,120 total yards and helped lead the Buckeyes to a Big Ten title in 1993. As a senior in 1994, he had 35 receptions for 533 yards and a team-leading eight touchdown receptions.

In track & field, Sanders was one of the best long jumpers – and athletes – the program has ever seen. The three-time First Team All-Big Ten selection earned a spot on the USTFCCCA All-America First Team on 10 occasions in four different events (long jump, 200m, 4x100m relay, 4x400m relay). Sanders captured six Big Ten Championships – 1992 indoor long jump, 1992 outdoor long jump and 4x100m relay, 1993 outdoor 4x100m relay, 1994 outdoor 200m and 4x100m relay. He ran a leg on the winning 4x100m relay at the 1993 Big Ten Championships that set an outdoor championship record (39.33). Sanders held the program record for the indoor long jump (26'9.75") for 34 years, a record that was just broken this season. He also ranks fourth in the outdoor long jump (26'7").

Most here forget how hurt JK was after the Clemson game. Would’ve entirely depended on JKs health.

Also, the defense sort of was figured out that year toward the end. 21 to Rutgers, 27 to TCUN, 21 to Wisconsin and 29 to Clemson.

Would’ve been a great offensive game IMO.

Offensive line experimentation continues​

After Ian Moore started at left tackle and Austin Siereveld started at right guard in Ohio State’s first practice of preseason camp on Thursday, Ryan Day said the Buckeyes would continue to experiment with different offensive line combinations before settling on a starting five. Those words rang true on Friday.

Siereveld returned to left tackle, the position he played last season, for the duration of Friday’s practice, while Joshua Padilla got his chance to run with the top unit at right guard. Moore flipped to the other side of the line to play right tackle, where he split first-team reps with incumbent starter Phillip Daniels over the course of practice.

Based on what we’ve seen through two days of practice and what we’ve heard from Day over the last two weeks, it’s become apparent that there's three offensive linemen competing for two starting spots between Daniels, Moore and Padilla. Depending on who performs best between them through the first couple of weeks of camp, we could see Ohio State settle on any of the following three combinations up front:

• LT Ian Moore, LG Luke Montgomery, C Carson Hinzman, RG Austin Siereveld, RT Phillip Daniels
• LT Austin Siereveld, LG Luke Montgomery, C Carson Hinzman, RG Joshua Padilla, RT Phillip Daniels
• LT Austin Siereveld, LG Luke Montgomery, C Carson Hinzman, RG Joshua Padilla, RT Ian Moore

Ohio State’s second-team offensive line for Friday’s practice consisted of Carter Lowe at left tackle, Jake Cook at left guard, Maxwell Riley at center, Gabe VanSickle at right guard and either Moore or Daniels at right tackle. While Padilla will likely be the next man up at center this season if anything happens to Hinzman, his work at right guard on Friday opened the door for Riley, a true freshman, to get an extended look snapping the ball.

Was just thinking of him the other day. Looking forward to him taking steps this season.

McClelland takes swipe at Indiana despite Hoosiers' recent national title​

Indiana won college football's national championship just a few months ago. Purdue hasn't won a national championship of any kind in 16 years. The facts didn't stop new Boilermakers athletic director Tommy McClelland from taking a shot at Purdue's instate rival.

"Every recruit, every current student athlete will hear this message repeatedly -- we are here to win championships," McClelland said Thursday during his introductory news conference. "If you don't want to win championships, go to Indiana."

Purdue hasn't won an NCAA national championship in any sport since the women's golf team in 2010. It remains the school's only national championship this millennium.

"The future of Purdue athletics is incredibly bright," said McClelland, who previously was the athletic director at Rice. "I am ready to get to work."

Nine more Ohio State athletics legends will enter the school's Hall of Fame in 2026.
Former Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett and baseball standout Nick Swisher headline this year's nine-member Hall of Fame class. They are joined by women's hockey's Jincy Dunne, women's volleyball's Danielle Meyer, football's Chris Sanders and Stan White, and track and field's Katie Borchers, Diane Dixon and Oyesade Olatoye.

Barrett enters the Athletics Hall of Fame as one of the greatest quarterbacks in Ohio State football history. The two-time Big Ten champion and four-time winner over Michigan started 44 games for the Buckeyes and set 39 combined Ohio State (34) and Big Ten (five) records during his career. He finished his career as Ohio State's all-time leader in total victories (38), passing yards (9,434), touchdown passes (104) and quarterback rushing yards (3,263), while his 147 total touchdowns rank fourth in NCAA history.
Swisher also carved out a legendary Ohio State career before becoming a first-round MLB draft pick and a World Series champion with the New York Yankees. The 2000 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection remains one of the top hitters in program history, ranking among the Buckeyes' all-time leaders in home runs (35), RBIs (156) and walks (131). In recognition of his impact on the program, the playing surface at Bill Davis Stadium was named Nick Swisher Field in 2015.
Sanders and White represent the football portion of the class alongside Barrett. Sanders was a standout wide receiver and track and field athlete, earning Ohio State Male Athlete of the Year honors in 1994 after helping the Buckeyes win a Big Ten title in football and earning 10 All-American honors in track. White was a three-year letterwinner under Woody Hayes, earning All-Big Ten honors in 1971 after leading Ohio State in tackles during its 1970 national championship season.

Fucked around and found out.

Half of the NFL have at least one legit fall guy in their posse. They depend on that player's money just like the player does.

Not the first group I'd target for a con game but what do people who are still alive know about such things?

Would be ecstatic to have tOSU beat the Eastern teams for the Lacross championship. But then again, am happy when the Buckeyes win any sort of championship.

First thought is that the Triple Crown winner can/will be no more. The dilution thingy. Am old enough to remember Darby Dan Farms winning the Derby (?) with Chateaugay. Don't remember any memorial type wins after that. Anyone know/care what happened to that non-Kentucky racing stable?
