I've got a couple years on you and I considered making that game my choice. everything about that game was bullshit. From the the MSU first down reception that was an obvious trap catch ( the damn ball bounced on the ground) to the final plays when the refs allowed Sparty to hold Buckeye players down, to the final two plays. I'll go to my grave saying Champ Henson scored on the second to last play, and the clock hadn't run out before the Bucks final snap. Then taking 45 minutes to decide who actually won the game.
If memory serves me, Woody threatened to kick B1G Commissioner Wayne Duke's ass with a table leg in the locker room when he told Woody of the decision.

The worst was Steve Myers literally having his facemask held to the ground preventing him from getting up for what would be the final play. I too believed at the time that Champ got in on that last play, but I've watched it a 1000 times since and had to take off my Scarlet colored glasses to see it the way it really was. He didn't get in. Sometimes you get the calls, sometimes you don't. Fast forward to the 2016 TTUN game. There is nobody on the planet that can ever convince me that JT got that OT first down. If that was them getting the call against us, we'd still be bitching about it to this day. That's enough for me, time to go back to the thread about the Greatest Buckeye victory in your lifetime. 2002 Natty vs. Miami, and again, nothing else is even close! OH-

House passes Ali Revival Act; bill now headed to Senate​

The Muhammad Ali Boxing Revival Act is one step closer to becoming law.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Revival Act by a voice vote during its legislative session Tuesday after a half-hour of debate. It now heads to the Senate. Should it pass there, it would then go to President Donald Trump to potentially sign and turn into law.

If the bill becomes law, the Revival Act's biggest shift would be the allowance for the creation of Unified Boxing Organizations, better known as UBOs, as options for boxers in their careers.

Under boxing's current system, the law requires a separation between promoters, who put on the fights, and sanctioning bodies, who handle rankings, titles and matchmaking. The Revival Act would allow UBOs to handle all of those things as a sort of one-stop shop, similar to what the Ultimate Fighting Championship is in MMA. The Revival Act would govern only boxing, not MMA.

Supporters of the bill, including UFC CEO Dana White and his Zuffa Boxing promotional outfit, former boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and the Association of Boxing Commissions, praised it as another choice for fighters. They pointed to stronger health care provisions for all fighters, including mandatory physicals and brain and eye testing, one belt per sanctioning body per weight class and a minimum payment of $200 per round to all fighters.

Those supporters stress the addition of UBOs won't replace the structure of professional boxing but will afford a different type of opportunity for fighters to choose what career path works best for them.

"My hope is, by its passage, you're not just going to have one UBO, my hope is that you're going to have a dozen UBOs operating, if not more, in this sport," Rep. Brian Jack, R-Ga., who wrote the bill, told ESPN on Tuesday night. "The more interest, the more innovation, the more opportunities for boxers and for fans, the more opportunities to enjoy a sport that used to inspire greatness."

Critics of the bill say it could harm fighters and lessen protections afforded to them in the two original Ali Act bills -- the Professional Boxing Safety Act of 1996 and the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act of 2000 -- because it could shift the balance in moneymaking power from fighters to promoters.

Just sayin'; I really don't know much about this bill, is this a good bill or not?

Ohio State Receives Gold Pants From 2025 Win Over Michigan in Ann Arbor​

The 2025 Buckeyes took part in one of Ohio State football’s oldest traditions Tuesday, as coaches and players received Gold Pants for the team’s 27-9 win over Michigan in Ann Arbor.

No players on the roster had previously earned a pair, as the victory marked Ohio State’s first over the Wolverines since 2019. The six-year drought was the program’s longest since 1988–93, when John Cooper’s teams went 0-5-1 against Michigan.

Good-bye Puff. We hardly knew ye.

Seem to recollect, every high school kid that got 'recognized' was a big scorer. Hardly ever (?) does a kid make 'Mr. Ohio Basketball' as a defender or assist maker. Gotta be a scorer. Recognize that at the collegiate level, players have 'roles', scorers score, tall people rebound and swat shots, etc. Anyone else watching the NCAA's and seeing the ball get passed around the court, and players take turns popping 3's? Maybe our guys don't move enough to 'get open' to be able to pop? Cupp was a Mr. Basketball, no? He is an excellent defender, and can dribble rings around you. He sometimes hits the three. Coincidence, dunno. At this level, everyone can shoot the ball. Else they play intra-mural basketball - like me.

Bah! I don’t feel sorry for Petey. He deserved to be banned. He knew the rules. He knew the consequences of breaking them. He still bet on baseball, including Reds’ games.

Then he lied about it. Repeatedly. For years. And to say he didn’t tarnish the game is hogwash.

After all the lies, he finally changed his stories and said his bets didn’t really matter because he never bet for the Reds to lose. Even if you’re naive enough to believe Petey never bet against the Reds, he still rigged games. As manager he chose who played when.

1. He’s dead.
2. If he is where I expect, continued punishment is covered.
Put him in the Hall.

Princeton demolished Hilliard Bradley 59-28 to bring the D1 title to Cincinnati for the first time in a while. OSU recruit Kam Mercer had a quiet game offensively, scoring 3 points, but his +/- was large. Amire Gill was on fire, scoring 24 points on 10-12 shooting - I've heard rumors he is going the prep school route. Rognny Santiago Lugo had a monster tournament, 12 points in the final, but had 28 in the semifinals over St. Eds. He is a PURE shooter, set to play college ball at Findlay next year. I don't know what his actual height is, but a bigger school might want to take a chance on Santiago - he fills a need for most teams.

Link to a local news story about the game

Well I guess if we don't get him Harvard is a decent place to end up.

Back to Titus. I'm a put your money where your mouth is kind of guy. Titus was bitching tOSU basketball doesn't get enough NIL money. My question to him would be how much has he given? I think it's kind of unAmerican to decide where other people should spend their money, especially if you haven't put your own money there. Who do they think they are, Congress? But then again, maybe that's just me.

Now get off my lawn!

Yeah, they got smoked by Tennecheat. Just want to support the way the Miami fans drove up 75 to Dayton. Wow. First time have ever seen a team in speedos run down the aisles....great season guys. Oh well, back to Millett
