Or UFM hiring wedding party guys to manage key parts of his football team (LBs, and Wrs)....guess the solution is to hire ex-Buckeye players to be position coaches.....

I mean they’re starting to establish a pretty nice track record.

Watched the last half of 76ers-Celtics... and now feel a bit better about the Cavs games
Celtics literally bulled directly into their defenders who had feet planted.. then pushed off with the forearm to gain space.. no calls
same thing Toronto is doing to Cavs and same no calls.. guess it's playoff time

Embid is beat to shit.. would not be surprised if he does not make it thru the next round.. even with the flopping.. it was a war down low
He's a major load.. huge dude who can shoot.. Cavs would have no answer for him.. too strong..

Don’t worry, they won’t have an answer for Brunson either, and that’s if they even make it past tonight.

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.

A couple things I see that will put pressure on the current system:

1. Smaller schools will get fed up with losing their investment when a player transfers and ask for compensation.
2. Whatever organization is trying to oversee football will want a resolution and end to the non-stop lawsuits. Today it is uncontrollable due to all the court cases.

There may be other solutions, but the one that jumps out to me is a collective bargaining agreement. The players would need to organize and have a collective representation to negotiate for them.

I think that's one of the biggest issues. Making sure the smaller schools are actually incentivized to develop guys, despite knowing they will likely lose any significant quality to a bigger school within a 1-3 year period.

Transfer fees.

Just finished this…



Good, fairly short read. Honestly, if you’ve seen the film “13 Days” based on this, you don’t really need to read the book. That’s a great flick, btw.

Goofy looking people don't improve things by wearing goofy looking hats.

Nah Tate is going to be a big help as a reliant receiver that is polished already

He's pretty underrated imo, reminds me of another borderline 4 star WR we got from Cali who's last name rhymes with suave. Not just those two attributes, but his seamlessness in and out of routes, polish and build. WANT.

Joey Brackets has put out his first 2027 prognostication, which has OSU at a #9 seed (9th in the B1G).

“Cincinnati Athletics has no comment at this time.”

It appears that they also had no comment at the time they found out about it either.

The time to comment will come after they get their bets down at Polymarket.

The Buckeyes are not going to be able to stop Kent's Special Teams.


Sarcasm font, but a nice addition to the Kent State staff.

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.
