Any updates on Marcus Fakatou’s visit to Texas last weekend? Never mind, I just read he did not visit

Which is huge. Not saying he won’t catch a game later because he does have a teammate I believe committed to Texas and they’re still recruiting him hard but that’s a big sign of respect for the staff not being on the sideline for that game committed to us. Should be pretty secure in that commitment if we didn’t already.

Well, this one sure sucks!!!

Ryan Day said Tuesday that he doesn’t expect starting defensive end Zion Grady or right tackle Phillip Daniels to be out long-term. It’s still to be determined whether they’ll play on Saturday against Kent State, Day said.

I'd guess a large number of these 100 (or so) non Super League schools have a law school that produced thousands of alumni that would be more than willing to work "pro bono" to support their old alma mater. They would sue for the same thing the "Group of Five " conferences sued to get entry into the College Football Playoffs. The threat of antitrust litigation is the primary reason smaller conferences are legally guaranteed access. Because all FBS teams technically play on the same competitive tier, a total lockout would be deemed a restriction of trade and an illegal monopoly.

That is exactly what they are buying themselves out of right now.

They are working with Ted Cruz to buy the ability to restrict trade and collude. Why is it hard to imagine them buying the votes to get an anti trust exemption like the other major pro sports?

The very worst thing that happens is they give the poverty conferences some money to go away and do their own thing. The big 2 already take something like 60% of the revenue from the CFP without changing a thing.

It becomes a simple math exercise: The cost of buying an anti trust exemption vs the 40% subsidy to unproductive schools/conferences.

I'm guessing 40% of billions of dollars means the non super league teams are about to get a new deal whether they like it or not (meaning it's more cost effective to buy the politicians than pay the poverty schools).

THE 26-YARD PUNT. I wasn’t in Austin on Saturday. I don’t know what the press room looked like or how many questions Ohio State’s communications team allowed reporters to ask, but I have to know this: What went into the decision to punt on 4th-and-4 from Texas’ 39-yard line, and how — oh, how? — did the punt travel 26 yards?

The Buckeyes had a 17-point lead. They had an opportunity to keep their foot on Texas’ throat, and instead they handed the ball back to the Longhorns after a 26-yard punt.


That was the moment, for me, when fear set in that we were about to witness another conservative second-half performance from Ryan Day and the Buckeyes. It turned out to be true — for the reasons mentioned above — as Ohio State’s remaining drives ended in a field goal, punt, punt, missed field goal and interception.

Not great, Bob!

Katie Smith will ring the Victory Bell before Ohio State’s second home football game of the 2026 season.
Ohio State announced Tuesday that Smith, one of the greatest players in OSU women’s basketball history and a current assistant coach for Kevin McGuff’s team, will be the pregame Victory Bell ringer for Saturday’s game against Kent State.
Smith will be the first woman to ring the Victory Bell before an Ohio State football game, a tradition that started last season.
A two-time All-American and three-time Big Ten Player of the Year, Smith led Ohio State to a Big Ten championship and national championship game appearance as a freshman and scored 2,578 points in four seasons as a Buckeye (1992-96), a program record at the time. She went on to become a seven-time WNBA All-Star and two-time WNBA champion, also winning WNBA Finals MVP honors with the Detroit Shock in 2008.
The first female athlete in Ohio State history to have her number retired, Smith was inducted into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001. She was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2018.
Smith is now entering her third year as an assistant coach for the Buckeyes after previously coaching for a decade in the WNBA.

nine on the pine is easily one of the top 10 thread title additions on BP, well done

The only one telling the truth

"This bill protects the billions of dollars that coaches and sports industry executives are making over the suppression of compensation for some of the most highly valued athletes in the world," Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut said on a call with reporters Monday. "What we're being asked to do is to basically allow colleges and conferences and the NCAA to illegally collude."

The hypocrisy of the tv ads for this thing is sickening.

I'd also submit that Julian is standing in the face of doom better this year than last. This is a pretty impressive throw.

At other times he missed under pressure, but he's getting harder to fluster. Definite progress.

Agree.

Darren B Lloyd, Thank You!!

Script really likes that site, which uses aggregation to troll. It's like an AI poor man's imitation of Dave portnoy.

Getting Miles would be very helpful to round out the recruiting class, which started with so much promise.


While Ohio State has a couple of five-star recruits in this class, they could have had a couple more. Missing out on Gabriel Georges as well as Monshun Sales took some of the shine off this class.

ah yes, who can forget how thin the wr recruiting is

Absolutely zero chance that if OSU lands this kid, this troll site fails to use it to get more digs in regarding DGG.
