Ohio State @ Pittsburgh, Friday, Nov. 28, 7 PM, ESPN2

I don't think most of us are expecting a constant high ceiling but is it too much to ask to make the tournament somewhat consistently? Or at least not to constantly stumble away games against bad teams like Pitt?

I just don't think Diebler as a basketball coach purely is good enough, he's not really doing much to show us that he's not just a continuation of his former boss

If you can't win the major NIL battles you need a coach who can get the best out of that next wave of players. I do not think Diebler is that coach.
agreed....if Tennessee and Florida can be in the tourney almost yearly, then OSU can make it at least every other year. I fully realize Ohio doesn't have the talent in state that many states close to our size do. Perhaps the cycle will change someday. We don't even play in the top 2 or 3 of tough conferences.

I was all in on Diebler but I'm now all out. He just doesn't have it and it's obvious to me. He doesn't even seem to be average.....and I'm shocked about that. Smith let OSU drift too long under Holtmann and I'm afraid if Diebler is our coach next year then it will be even harder to drum up NIL support for JD's replacement in '26-'27

Coming off a rough season-ending 31–17 loss to border rival Missouri on Saturday, Arkansas has decided to hire Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield, Sports Illustrated’s Bryan Fischer confirmed on Sunday morning.

The Razorbacks fired coach Sam Pittman back on Sept. 28 after a rough start to his sixth season in Fayetteville. Bobby Petrino acted as interim coach for the remainder of the season. Arkansas finished last in the SEC with a 2–10 overall record and an 0–8 conference record.

Say, whatever happened to...?

Just in case I pop up in here again, I'm all good, great actually. Got a new gig and it's insane! Can't even believe it. Still waiting to wake up from the dream. However, I've basically abandoned my internet hangouts/deleted all social media and that's been good for the brain. Gonna keep it that way. That being said, fuck Michigan. Bunch of cheating losers.

Kim Mulkey Puts Tomatoes In Her Gumbo (LSU Women’s Basketball Official Thread)

No. 5 LSU sets NCAA record with 7th straight 100-point game​

No. 5 LSU set an NCAA record with its seventh consecutive 100-point game Friday night, routing Marist 113-53 in the Reef Division semifinal game at the Paradise Jam tournament.

LSU (7-0) bested the 43-year-old NCAA record of six straight 100-point games set by the 1982 Louisiana Tech squad that won the inaugural NCAA women's championship.

That team was led by an All-American point guard Kim Mulkey, who coached the Tigers to the NCAA title in 2023 and whose team is among the contenders to compete for another crown in the spring.

Seven players finished in double figures for LSU, led by ZaKiyah Johnson's 19 points. Reserve Kate Koval had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Flau'jae Johnson and Amiya Joyner added 16 points apiece. MiLaysia Fulwiley, Grace Knox and Jada Richard each scored 11.

Wayne Woodrow "Woody" Hayes (5x National Champion, OSU HOF, CFB HOF, R.I.P.)

614-488-1910. This week, HOMAGE – the Columbus apparel company and Eleven Warriorssponsor – shared a video explaining how founder Ryan Vesler acquired Woody Hayes’ old phone number.

How did he do it?

Vesler made a trip to a Columbus library to dig up Hayes’ number, then called AT&T to see if he could claim it. (In a twist of fate, the customer service rep who helped him was from That State Up North.) After securing the number, he used a voice-over service to record one of Hayes’ iconic speeches ahead of The Game:

“This ballgame will boil down to three things… the team that hits the hardest and the longest, the team that starts the fastest and the team that's too damn smart to make mistakes. And that team will win without any question.”
Why go through all that?

So Ohio State fans could call the number and fire themselves up for the greatest rivalry in sports.

What are you still reading this Skull Session for?

Go call it. Now.

(Then come back.)

(Please.)

Game Thread Rutgers at #1 tOSU, Sat. Nov. 22nd, 12 pm ET, FOX

Sayin was below his 80% completion rate. When a TE is your receiving star, well, maybe there's a problem in the WR room. Graham and Porter didn't see the field, ?, and thought they were the next ones up. Nobody seems to have mentioned that as of yet, so would appreciate some sort of insight, please. Graham has gotten more than a little gametime minutes, but Porter has been almost a mystic. Transfer potential here? Some team in his ear about future playing time? Trust me, my mind can come up with some doozy thoughts, mostly not so good.
Porter has been injured. Unfortunately, his injury coincided with our starters injuries.
