Based on Wiscy’s QB play, which in fairness has been injury ravaged, I’m not feeling a strong urge to bring Kenny back.

Yeah I guess strictly for finding a young WR coach that can maybe recruit (?). But it looks like he shifted back to coaching QBs this year.

As far as the OC role, Bucks can get someone far more proven.

And with the rumor (?) that Hartline will be next HC at UCF, starting to make more sense. Can see how the phone call went.....Hey KDW, you staying with your commit to tOSU? Sure, coach, as long as you're there.....PS, USC lost it's WR1 to Georgia, Zacharian Branch? that tOSU wanted, and even recruited his brother, a year before graduation to get him. Anyway, will see how/who Day replaces Brian (good luck to him), and who stays.

Signed.

Signed.

In today’s NIL world there is no reason that Vandy can’t win the sec. They’ve got some wealthy graduates and they are the only major university in a town full of millionaire country artists. The ven diagram of people that watch football and listen to country music is almost a circle.

That is all true to a certain extent. Having a major athletic program in a major city with so much tourism can be good, but also gives so many people other things to take their attention away from the program. And many of those people are bandwagon fans, and the minute Vandy becomes average, those fans will be non existent.
And many of those millionaire alum are also bandwagon, because the team was bad for so long. They will also leave if the program doesn't continue the same level of success. And will those same alum be willing to donate yearly like some alum at more football hungry programs? For example, Auburn hasn't been very good for a while, but it just makes their alum want to donate more to get more talent, similar to programs like Ole Miss, Miss St, etc. Idk if Vandy boosters have the stomach to keep donating big money if they fall below .500

• The Rams signed Nick Vannett off the Vikings’ practice squad.

• Josh Simmons dislocated and fractured his wrist in the Kansas City Chiefs’ Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday that Simmons “is getting a second evaluation on his wrist, and we’ll see what goes from there.”

McLaurin has best game of season in return​

After playing in just one of the Washington Commanders’ previous eight games due to a quad injury, Terry McLaurin returned to action on Sunday Night Football and had his best game of the season against the Denver Broncos.

McLaurin caught seven passes for 96 yards – both season-highs – including a touchdown with the game on the line on 4th-and-goal in overtime. Lined up against reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II, McLaurin beat Surtain on a slant route.


McLaurin became the first player to score a touchdown against Surtain since Week 13 of the 2024 NFL season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.


The touchdown gave the Commanders a chance to win the game in overtime, but their game-winning 2-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful when Broncos edge rusher Nick Bonitto knocked down a pass by Marcus Mariota. Nevertheless, the night showed a clear return to form for McLaurin, who had just 13 catches for 203 yards and one touchdown in his first four games of the season.

That stupid trapezoid in the NHL. The goalie should be able to go anywhere he wants.

The PGA tour does a lot of dumb shit as well. I remember Dustin Johnson winning the US Open several years ago and in the final round they stated he "may have" committed a 1 stroke penalty but wouldn't find out until after he completed his round.

I don't follow the NHL. I guess I don't know anything about the trapezoid.
You've got a point about golf. "Keep your own score, but if it's wrong, we're going to penalize you." So if you get penalized and didn't realize it, you turn in the wrong score and get penalized, again.
I still say the fumble out of the endzone is the worst rule I know of in sports.

Not $12 worth. Oops

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

Spotted him on the sideline of The Game. Guy was on the path to being one of the greats. Hope he is good.

So Franklin is just going to take PSU's whole recruiting class to VaTech with him?

Classic

And use it to be top 3 in the ACC in a few years. Franklin works well with little pressure

JMU is becoming a great minor league program.

They need to start requesting Transfer Fees (like in European football) for teams taking their coaches and players.
