Cincinnati Bearcats (Juggalos official thread of Faygo)

ScriptOhio
Just sayin': Undoubtedly, the the (football) Buckeyes all time biggest win over the Juggalos. I remember the game well, I was there. The game went down to the wire too.

Remember When: The 2002 Ohio State Team Mounted a Comeback to Hold Off an Upset Bid in Cincinnati and Keep Their Title Hopes Alive​

Krenzel quickly went to work, completing passes to wideout Michael Jenkins for gains of 12 and 16 yards. Krenzel capped off the 10-play, 47-yard drive with a six-yard run into the end zone, alleviating the pressure off of the Buckeyes and pushing them back into the lead 23-19.

With Ohio State back in the lead for the first time since early in the third quarter, the Buckeyes, once again, needed a spark from their defense.

With Ohio State back in the lead for the first time since early in the third quarter, the Buckeyes, once again, needed a spark from their defense.

Again, Cincinnati marched down the field, reaching the Ohio State 15-yard line with 48 seconds to play. Guidugli fired a trio of incompletions, including a pair of drops from Cincinnati receivers, before he was intercepted in the end zone, this time by Will Allen, to seal the win for the Buckeyes.

The come-from-behind victory over the Bearcats kept the Buckeyes on their national championship path, and it served as the first of several tight contests that would test their mettle.

2026 Season: Are You Ready For Some Football?

Ohio State football prediction from Athlon Sports is what every Buckeye fan dreams of​

Ohio State football fans would sign up for this in a hurry.

This season, the Buckeyes return a ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball. In fact, they might be the best offense in the country. One major publication certainly thinks so. In fact, Athlon Sports gave their bowl predictions for this season, and they are very favorable to Ohio State.

Athlon Sports predicts an Ohio State national championship​

During their annual preview, Athlon Sports gave a prediction for every bowl game. In that prediction, they gave the Bucks the number one overall seed. They have them taking on eighth-seeded Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl. After that, they have the Buckeyes advancing to take on fourth-seeded Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl.

It culminates in Ohio State beating second-seeded Georgia in the national championship game, which takes place in Las Vegas this season. Based on their seeding, Athlon has the Buckeyes beating TTUN, winning the Big Ten, and winning a second national title in three years.

That is a prediction of which every single Ohio State fan would sign up for. That would make this team the best Ohio State football team of all-time. That could end up being true, but the Buckeyes would have to go undefeated in order to achieve that goal. That's a tall order with their schedule.

Ohio State feels confident it can win it all​

Heading into this season, the Buckeyes are extremely confident that they can pull off this exact prediction. There is a very good chance they have the highest-scoring offense in the country next year with Julian Sayin throwing the ball to Jeremiah Smith and Chris Henry Jr.

Defensively, Matt Patricia returns to coach a talented but inexperienced unit. They will have to rely on several transfer portal players on all three levels of the defense. Still, Patricia coached up the defense to have the best statistical performance of any defense in the nation a year ago.

It seems the Buckeyes have finally cured their kicking problems, or so they hope. Missed kicks have plagued the team for the last few years, and they hope that issue is fixed. That, along with the offensive line, is the biggest question mark the team possesses heading into the Fall.

If those questions are answered, Ohio State could be in the market for a lot of wins next season. In fact, it could be that golden year Day has been searching for.

Fantasy Football Advice

Buckeneye
BP!

The Brainy Ballers team I'm apart of has been working hard to launch our new fantasy football app prior to the upcoming season.

It boils down to a dynasty fantasy football stock market. Think a combination of Robinhood & your favorite fantasy football app (redrafts available)

We're in need of beta testers. I'm attaching screenshots from the app. If you're interested in being a tester or just the app itself upon launch, please either DM myself or @ me in a post with your email.

Thanks,

Lebron James (Los Angeles Lakers)

ShowMeBuck
Grew up in SoCal so I am a lifelong Laker fan who had the privilege of being a fan during the Showtime era and the Kobe Shaq era

Myself and tons of people I know have completely tuned out of the Lakers since LeBum has been there. Can’t stand him for a variety of reasons beyond his personal life and how he carries himself. Just basketball. Chasing championships from team to team. Throwing his weight around as a de facto GM. Ugh. He’s the absolute worst.

Literally everyone I know that’s always been a Laker fan has tuned out and now excited to start paying attention again

I’m not sure people realize just how many LeBron haters there are. I have said for a long time that we will see some scathing documentaries once he retires because players have bee afraid to cross him and Rich Paul

WR Mylan Graham (National Champion, transfer to Notre Dame)

calibuck
Well, maybe a fresh start at a different place will work out for him. Good for him, until the Domers face the Buckeyes in the playoffs. My Dad was a ND and SC hater, and guess it was passed down to me. He gave me a ND/tOSU poster with Eddie running free for a TD, and had it framed, and is on my garage wall, where I can see it every damn day. Go Bucks!

Better Know A Buckeye: Darryus McKinley’s Speed and Strength on the Edge Could Allow Him to Be Versatile Defensive End for Ohio State

A late flip from LSU, Darryus McKinley has the speed and strength to become a versatile defensive end for Ohio State.

Better Know a Buckeye: Darryus McKinley’s Speed and Strength on the Edge Could Allow Him to Be Versatile Defensive End for Ohio State​

Depth Chart Outlook​

With a loaded group of defensive ends in 2026, including Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Beau Atkinson, Zion Grady, Epi Sitanilei, Alabama transfer Qua Russaw and fellow freshmen Khary Wilder and Dre Quinn, McKinley isn’t likely to see much playing time in year one.

How McKinley develops over the course of his first couple of years in Columbus will determine whether he ultimately earns his way onto the defensive line two-deep in 2027 or 2028.

Not trying to degrade anyone here but Atkinson is just a name on the roster until he shows he’s anything beyond that. In no way am I trying to put words in anyone’s mouth but I don’t understand why it’s some foregone conclusion that he’s a lock for the rotation.

Maybe I’m being harsh, but he didn’t stand out at all to me against high level competition.

The Jerome Schottenstein Center (Official Thread)

calibuck
Could be just me, but was/am of the opinion that 'naming rights' is transitory. In other words, you pay X to have your name there, but after, what, five years? Then the rights are used up and unless there's a continuation clause in the contract, tOSU can go out for another round of bidding. Certainly a company wants to be recognized, but they might have to make a decision if the marketing expense is gaining them market share/sales etc. Guess I'm saying that 'buying' may be a misnomer, but 'renting' is more likely. Sort of a continuing money maker for the AD. PS, does anyone know if the debt for building all of these wonderful facilities is being defeased? Eventually the interest on this big number can take away from NIL etc. See US Debt levels, versus amount of US budget required to service said debt.

OSU Women's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

calibuck
Kitts is (to me at least) an enigma. See her floating around the 'crumb area' to pick up long rebounds, and doing her pull-up thing away from the reach of their bigs. Haven't really seen her get dirty fighting for rebounds. (I could have been going to the fridge when might have happened). Anyway, her injury profile leaves much to learn about her. Yeah, hope for the best, do know that when she comes in, that there will/seems to be a spark in the offense. Rereading what I wrote, don't misunderstand, believe that tOSU is stronger with her than without. Also wonder how McDuff will utilize these pieces to enhance the team performance effectively.

PGA Tour (Official Thread)

Scottie Scheffler missed the cut at the Scottish Open, breaking his 78 made cuts in a row streak, which was the second longest streak of all time behind 90-something by Tiger. The current longest streak is now 27 by Matt Fitzpatrick. Meanwhile, on the LPGA Tour, world #1 Nelly Korda also missed the cut, breaking her 34 made cuts in a row streak. I imagine that if one had parlayed prop bets on both of those things happening, one would be in high cotton.

Edit: I asked Google what the estimated parlay payout would have been for a $10 bet and, with explained assumptions and showing its arithmetic, it said $1,540.

Maybe perhaps the wrong thread but Atlanta will continue to host quarterfinal and semi-final games in the future:

2028-2031 - Mercedes Benz stadium will host CFP games

1). Beautiful, easy to get to stadium
2). Plenty of reasonable accomodations
3). Track record of hosting big events well
4). Airport is incredible

It looks like most of the article is behind a paywall. But it seems like they're pumping that up like no one else gets this privilege. All the article actually says it that the Peach Bowl is going to remain one of the 6 bowl games for the playoffs, just like the other 5 are staying there.

Ha - I just Googled the GPS coordinates of all of the 6 bowl games. And I get that AI is unreliable, so feel free to fact check my numbers. But guess which bowl game is farthest north?

Spoiler Alert:
Orange Bowl is at 25.777 Lat
Sugar Bowl is at 29.951 Lat
Cotton Bowl is at 32.779 Lat
Fiesta Bowl is at 33.527 Lat
Peach Bowl is at 33.755 Lat
Rose Bowl is at 34.161 Lat

For reference, Columbus, Ohio is at 39.962.
Ha. Look at a map. Draw a line from Pasadena through Atlanta. All 6 bowl games are on or below that line.
Also funny to me: In 12 years, 6 champions come from north of that line, and 6 come from south of that line. (I'm pretty sure that Clemson is just north of that line, so that's how I counted them.)
It's actually 8 from north of that line, and 4 from south. I was mistaken about Georgia. I think I read that Athens is at 33d 57', and mistook that for 33.57 degrees.

Georgia Bulldogs (2021-2022 National Champions & Excellent Drivers)

Maybe, just Maybe - the quality of coaches has significantly ASCENDED in the B1G and outside of CKS, the coaching talent has dived in the SEC.

These are 2025 Numbers:




Source (Goggle Gemini)
Query: "amount of money spent in NIL on football in the BIG 10 vs SEC in 2024 and 2025"

Based on the numbers - SEC programs like Texas and A&M should be royally pissed off for overpaying for average results
The Dawgs spent 14mm less, won the league and failed to win the title. Not ideal, but not "broke boi football"

Poking fun at SEC teams is all well and good, but if you want me to bitch and moan about the quality of Georgia football, when we are in the best decade long stretch of my lifetime, you've come to the wrong place my dude.
