Welcome to BP Conor! Thanks for that offer. Unfortunately I personally can’t make this game. If I was there I would be very interested in the tour of your incredible stadium.


[Note the different spelling ochre……and note that as far I know the Dallas Cowboys have never had anything to do with the Connor from scUM.]

how often am I going to be able to spin "we don't cotton to <whatever> around here" organically like that (particularly with a Cotton bowl reference too)?

Ohio State vs. West Virginia (in Cleveland), Saturday Dec. 13, 8pm EST, ESPNU

Truly believe that we saw the 'coming out' of Bynum. Thornton did what he does...and does it cool as a cucumber. Don't see any extra effort, but he's always in the right place. Bynum added a dimension to the offense. A follow-up slammer, is something longed for, but not readily seen from the Buckeyes. (Unless it's from the other team). Again, WVA was hitting 3's from incredible places, and tOSU was bungling bunnies all night. But, on the positive side, tOSU was making free throws! Like a team should. And tOSU showed some heart. Devin playing most of second half with four fouls, AND staying in the game. Huge. Liked the Tilly/Knowles substitution, early and often, keeping them fresh. Mobley did his share, but made some unfortunate, head-scratching fouls throughout. Anyway, on to the next. Look at the standings, and the B10 has more than several teams ranked, so far this year. Go Bucks!

High School St. Henry Redskins

calibuck
Recollect that every tOSU coach made a stop at St. Henry, to recruit their best and finest. These days, maybe not so much. But in it's day, St. Henry was every bit a viable pipeline as Glenville. Glenville has survived, and continues to produce D-1 players (most of whom matriculate to tOSU), versus St. Henry, seems not so much. Have no doubt that alot/many of the St. Henry grads get football scholarships, just not so many get one from tOSU. Just my opinion, and being a slave to recruiting.

Stupid two point conversions (SimpLLLLLe Jim loves 'em, and so does James Franklin)

I'm watching the Thursday Night game. Bucs vs. Falcons. 28-14, 4th quarter, when the Falcons scored to make it 28-20. They tried to get 2, and failed. Fine. I get the analytics. If you get it, you just need another touchdown + 1 to win. If you fail, you have another chance to tie.
But does it ever work? They were then down 28-20, and scored another touchdown. Now they NEED to get 2... but they failed again. 3:29 left now, down 2, and the other team has the ball.
Does this move ever work?

Now that I think of it, I think the Browns also had a similar situation on Sunday. And failed both times.
Stop trying to be fancy.

Still very dumb to me. This new fad. Even as a “numbers” guy it doesn’t make sense to me practically.

The idea is you make 50% of 2pt conversions? So you make the first and you’re in the driver’s seat to win easy with a TD+XP. Or you miss and get the next 2pt conversion to tie. But that 50% chance doesn’t care about the previous miss. You can still miss 2 in a row.

That doesn’t even get into situational stuff - matchup, offense vs defense, momentum, psychological impact of missing. Just kick the XPs and tie. Keep the pressure on the team blowing a 14 point lead. Or at least kick the first then maybe be ballsy go for a win at the end.
