decided to not replace the whole shed, have decided that I can fix what is there - me that does the work is not happy with me that makes the decisions, me can be a real asshole sometimes. that being said, shed siding replacement is happening as soon as baseball season is over in about 2 weeks. i'm debating on taking a few days off work to get it done, or just do one side per weekend for a month, idk

Random pictures of the day

We played smear the queer too but I remember it more like someone had a ball and everyone chased him, knocked him down, dog piled and whoever got the ball was the queer it repeated over and over.
We played it in the 60s elementary school gym class by having two teams on opposite sides of the gym and trying to nail members of the other team. We used all different sized balls. The bigger softer ones were kinda pointless but God help you if you got blasted in the face by one of the small, harder ones with the dimples it it. Those bastards hurt!

Good times. good times.

'25 OH SG Dorian Jones (Rutgers signee, transfer to Kent St.)

Believe it's been said that one has to get on the court to impress. And the decision is to sit on the pine at a great school, or play more minutes at a lesser school. It's a decision I never had to make ;(....academic rigor at Kent St poses less of a hurdle, and on court competition probably less as well. But is it better to be a big frog in a small pond, or a small frog in the big pond? I'll let you decide, grasshopper.....
This kid was never an Ohio State caliber kid IMO. I coach HS basketball we played them. He was not impressive at all. Was surprised that he even held an offer, let alone be committed at the time. I get wanting to keep kids home, but some of the In-state talent Diebs has gone after is very questionable.

How would you rank these five Ohio State teams that had only one loss one through five?

I know every program has their fair share of close calls and near misses, but fuck, don't think anyone beats OSU in that department.

I remember when I was in 5th or 6th grade, I read that OSU had finished #2 more than any program in history. That may have changed, seeing as that was 20+ years ago (that was depressing to write). Talk about bittersweet.

Still wouldn't trade OSUs resume for anyone else's, but you could write a book (and a LONG one at that) on all the coulda/woulda/shouldas. The margin between 2nd best program all time and by far the best, is just that razor thin.
I read an article about just that a few years ago.

Ravi Bellamkonda, tOSU President

Certainly not sustainable on a 'top-flight' 36 varsity sports, AND have A-1 playing fields/courts/pitches/ etc to put them on. I'm used to big numbers, and tOSU's numbers are among the highest, but do worry about the debt being accumulated by the Athletic Department. Cost of Construction is hugemongous, and the debt incurred is also huge. But the facility competition is very keen, and unless you've got a golden goose like Oregon, hard to sustain. Hope the AD is using some of this almost $100million to reduce debt. Pay down construction debt and lower interest payments. Anybody out there do that with household funds? Anyway, glad am not the ones having to figure out where this goes. Also assumes that the academic side of the Buckeye house is keeping distant from all the loot in the AD department.

Kent State Golden Flashes (official thread)

I went there in the early 90s. That was some bad football. 3 wins in my 4 years there. My Sophomore year I had a roommate from the Pittsburgh area that would go home a lot on the weekends.

Kent State football is a stepping stone program for coaches to get a better job if they have success. I blame them for not hiring Nick Saban in 1987.


They got $1.5 million from Oklahoma and $1.2 million from Florida State.
We must have overlapped there. I believe the football team managed a total of four wins in my four years.
