Austin Snyder Loses Black Stripe After Taking Over Kicking Duties in Second Half of Ohio State’s Win vs. Marshall​

Three days after taking over kicking duties in the second half of Ohio State’s win over Marshall, Austin Snyder is “officially” a Buckeye.

The walk-on kicker had his black stripe removed by Ohio State’s coaching staff on Tuesday after replacing Jayden Fielding on both kickoffs and extra points in the second half of Saturday’s 49-14 win over the Thundering Herd.

Snyder, who transferred to Ohio State last offseason from the University of Findlay, took over kickoff duties for all three of the Buckeyes’ second-half kickoffs after Fielding knocked three straight kickoffs out of bounds in the second quarter. Snyder also handled Ohio State’s final two extra points of the game.

Ryan Day praised Snyder after the game for how he stepped up when called upon.

“I thought Austin did a nice job of stepping in there,” Day said.

Brett Favre reveals Parkinson's diagnosis at congressional hearing​

Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre disclosed during a congressional hearing on Tuesday that he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a degenerative nervous system disorder that causes parts of the brain to deteriorate and affects movement.

Speaking before the House Ways and Means Committee, Favre spoke about Prevacus, a company making a concussion drug that received $2 million of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds. Favre was the top investor in Prevacus, and text messages show he began asking state officials for help securing funds for the company in November 2018.

"Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others," Favre said during opening remarks. "And I'm sure you'll understand why it's too late for me, because I've recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's. This is also a cause dear to my heart."

When asked in a 2018 interview how many concussions he suffered, Favre, 54, said he knows of only "three or four" but believes he could have suffered more than 1,000 concussions during his 20-season NFL career.

"When you have ringing of the ears, seeing stars, that's a concussion," Favre told the "Today" show. "And if that is a concussion, I've had hundreds, maybe thousands, throughout my career, which is frightening."

Not good.

Memphis, Tulane, USF, UTSA commit to AAC amid Pac-12 interest​

Some of the highest-profile targets of the Pac-12's expansion have rebuffed its interest, as Memphis, Tulane, USF and UTSA publicly committed to stay in the American Athletic Conference on Monday.

The schools announced their intentions on social media, which solidifies the AAC in the short term and leaves the six-team Pac-12 in flux as it searches for at least two more members to complete its rebuild.

The Pac-12 added Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State and San Diego State in recent weeks, with the goal to create a clear-cut fifth-best football conference. The school is in discussions with Gonzaga as a basketball addition, which sources told ESPN would come with a full revenue share. ESPN is also reporting preliminary discussions with Saint Mary's for the Pac-12.

But some of the Pac-12's momentum to become the top football conference outside the Power 4 leagues has stalled, as Memphis loomed as the linchpin of any potential additions.

The schools issued statements filled with standard jargon about student-athletes and academics, but the reality is that a significant financial risk loomed if any of them decided to join the Pac-12. AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti has aggressively tried to leverage private equity money to help boost cash flow in his league.

The four schools released a joint statement that read, in part: "While we acknowledge receiving interest in our institutions from other conferences, we firmly believe that it is in our individual and collective best interests to uphold our commitment to each other."

Just sayin': Now that is one hell of a "scrum".....

I think Kyle just had his second straight swing and miss on defensive coordinator. Sorenson is ass.

Also, get Ronnie Bell off the roster. I was shocked he even made the team this season and he possibly cost us the game today. Butterfinger, tCun fraud.
