DSNY takes shot at JPMorgan litterbug with ‘No Need to Knick’ a trash bin giveaway​

Unlike the “incredibly stupid” fan, the five lucky winners won’t need to grab the full-sized blue-and-orange baskets off the street, dump litter across the sidewalk and lug it home on the subway.

"Fouling up our sidewalks and stealing public property should always be out of bounds in New York City,” said DSNY Commissioner Gregory Anderson.

Remember When: Jim Tressel Fulfills a Promise Made 310 Days Prior

In November 2001, Jim Tressel made good on a promise made 310 earlier by beating Michigan, 26-20, in the Big House, kickstarting a dominant run against the Wolverines.

Remember When: Jim Tressel Fulfills a Promise Made 310 Days Prior​

162866_h.jpg


With this week's news Jim Tressel will be enshrined in Ohio Stadium's Ring of Honor during Ohio State's season opener against Ball State, it felt right to revisit one of his greatest victories in our latest installment of Remember When.

Ohio State football was in a bad place at the conclusion of the 2000 season. Head coach John Cooper's program was struggling in the classroom, appearing in court with alarming regularity, looking undisciplined on the field and failing to stack enough wins - specifically against Michigan and in bowl games.

All of that came to a head in a season-ending 24-7 loss to South Carolina in the Outback Bowl on January 1 as the Buckeyes racked up roughly 47 personal foul penalties, allowed Ohio native Ryan Brewer to carve them up for three touchdowns and generally looked like a rudderless program to cap an 8-4 season.

Cooper was let go the next day and the search began for his successor. Names like Glen Mason, Fred Pagac, Jon Gruden (of course) and Mike Belloti, among others, were bandied about but just over two weeks later, on January 18, 2001, Jim Tressel was announced as the 22nd head coach in Ohio State football history with a 5-year contract worth $4.6 million.

A fair amount of OSU fans weren't blown away by the hire, questioning if Tressel could make a successful leap from the I-AA ranks where he powered Youngstown State to four national titles. But even those who approached the hire with caution were elated Tressel was an Ohio guy and had served as an assistant coach at Ohio State for three years before heading to YSU. That meant he understood the importance of The Game and holy smokes was that needed after Cooper, for all his great teams, could only muster a 2-10-1 mark against the Wolverines (not to mention a 3-8 record in bowl games).

And of course even the lukewarm fans jumped fully onboard after Tressel addressed the crowd at halftime of Ohio State's basketball game that night saying, "I can assure you that you will be proud of our young people in the classroom, in the community, and most especially in 310 days in Ann Arbor, Michigan.”

C Felix Okpara (Transfer to Tennessee)

Okpara was drafted #46 and will be in the Wizards organization. I doubt he is going to actually stick in the NBA, but he at least got drafted, so good for him for that. Notable that Holtmann's best recruiting class ended up with 3/4 of the players being drafted (Sensabaugh, Thornton & Okpara).

Just sayin': Holtmann's 2022 recruiting class was actually pretty good as Roddy Gayle Jr was a decent player too. Also, there was was a 5th player (i.e. Bowen Hardman) that transferred to Akron.

U.S. Men's National Soccer (Official Thread)

Sources: Mauricio Pochettino in positive talks over new USMNT contract​

United States men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino and U.S. Soccer have had positive talks about a possible contract extension, sources told ESPN.

Pochettino's contract with U.S. Soccer runs through the end of this World Cup and the former Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea manager has yet to say what his future plans are.

Sources told ESPN that U.S. Soccer would like to retain the 54-year-old for another four-year cycle through the 2030 World Cup in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. The idea would be to also retain the same core of players currently on the roster.

The offer to Pochettino was first reported on Friday by The Athletic.

2027 OH DL Kaylon Bailey (Colorado Verbal)

That seems to be what's going on a lot with Colorado. Kids will go there because they know they will likely get to play right away and then most of them bolt after 1 season. 64 players entered the portal after 2025 and 65 entered the portal after 2024. It does make sense to go get a year of P4 playing time right away especially if they are tossing you a decent bag as well.

Coach Prime's strategy is hitting the Portal though, so even when he does lose kids, he's ready to replace them. 78 kids transferred in, in the last 2yrs and 120+ transferred out. Yet they brought in 34 HS signees, Bailey will get to play, but not sure how much development he will have.
