Adding to this. Monken pretty much built Brock Bowers into the best Tight End I've ever seen

Yeah, I watch what games aren't on B10+, but when he gets well......

“A LOCKER ROOM OF GROWN-ASS MEN.” During a recent episode of The Triple Option podcast, Urban Meyer said the quiet part out loud: Ryan Day and Ohio State have shifted at least part of their roster-building philosophy away from high school recruiting and toward adding veteran players from the transfer portal.

“I think the template has been set now, with the Big Ten winning three years in a row with the most mature, veteran teams,” Meyer said. “Someone said the average age of college teams was about the same age as NFL teams. … The average experience was almost four years — someone threw that at me yesterday as well. The Wolverines did it. The Buckeyes did it.

“I actually talked to Coach Day about that yesterday. We talked about it before the (national title) game, and he mentioned that. Everyone’s talking about it. How do we get a locker room of grown-ass men that have been through it? Coaching that 21-year-old is a much different cry from coaching that 18-year-old. You’ve got a grown-ass man with experience that understands the game.”

Maybe, but I don't see CBs leaving after one year as frequently as other positions.

Makes losing the two CBs to the portal a little better.

Not only is the 5* talent there, he's very polished and advanced for his age. So he should make noise and get some early PT.

So the Fulmer cup needs to be renamed. Arbor Cup?

And since I made that post, John Gibson has rounded into something like his old form.

Wouldn't shock me if they added a Dman at the deadline but the Yzerplan is coming due finally.

Whoever had the idea of putting “oven mits” on him during practice so he learned to play coverage without grabbing jersey is an absolute genius.

Ohio State basketball team has a new opponent in CBS Sports Classic​

The Ohio State basketball team will face a new opponent in a key non-conference clash that they have every year.

The Ohio State basketball program has been taking part in one of the best in-season matchups for over a decade. The CBS Sports Classic started back in 2014, and the Buckeyes have played in that event every year. It's a tournament that showcases four of the best programs in the country.

From the start, the Classic involved the Ohio State Buckeyes, UCLA, Kentucky, and North Carolina. Then, UCLA joined the Big Ten, making the potential rotation with the Buckeyes and the Bruins a conference matchup. That's something that they wanted to avoid.

Now, the CBS Sports Classic will no longer feature the Bruins. Surprisingly, they have left instead of Ohio State. There is now a Big 12 team included in the CBS Sports Classic, as Kansas will now join the rotation. That means every P4 conference is represented now.

The Ohio State basketball team will face Kansas in CBS Sports Classic​

The Jayhawks will take on the Buckeyes in next year's version of the CBS Sports Classic. Ohio State will then take on Kentucky in 2027 and UCLA in 2028. Kansas will face the Buckeyes again in 2029. Next year's version of the Classic will take place in Madison Square Garden in New York.

My knees hurt just watching that, but he seems to have the right mindset and I'm looking forward to seeing him play for us.

Five-star wide receiver Kesean Bowman was set to announce his commitment on February 10, but has now pushed it back, stating that he just is not ready to commit just yet. Bowman narrowed his choices down to Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Oregon, Miami, and Ohio State. It seemed like Tennessee, his home state team, was leading the way, but Vandy and Miami are making a surge for the elite pass catcher.

Clendon Thomas, Hall of Fame RB for Oklahoma in 1950s, dies at 90​

Clendon Thomas, a Hall of Fame running back who helped Oklahoma win two national titles in the 1950s, has died. He was 90.

Chuck Bowman, Thomas' longtime friend and former college roommate, said Tuesday that Thomas died of pneumonia on Monday night in Tulsa.

Thomas played for the Sooners from 1955 to 1957 under coach Bud Wilkinson. He helped them win national titles in 1955 and 1956 and was a unanimous All-American in 1957. He was a significant contributor to Oklahoma's 47-game winning streak and helped the Sooners win three Big 7 championships.

Bowman, also 90, said he met Thomas when they both played in a high school All-Star football game in 1954, and they remained close from then on.

The Oklahoma City native was inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in 1995 and the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in 2011.

"Clendon Thomas was one of the great standard-bearers of Oklahoma football and a cornerstone of one of the most legendary teams our game has ever seen," NFF chairman Archie Manning said in a statement. "His excellence on the field, combined with his integrity and leadership off it, exemplified what it means to be a College Football Hall of Famer. He leaves behind a legacy that will endure. We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing."

Horseshit. He's 5'8" at best. He can bullshit all he wants until they put his ass on scale at the combine.
