And hence is the reason(s) that the shelf life of a RB in the NFL is on the short side of 5 years. Every play puts a RB into harms way, with all those nasties trying to tear a piece of you off. Not for me thank you, but if you can hang, becomes lucrative. Yeah, me too, hoping that JK can recover and excel. Don't really care which pro team he labors for, but root for him (as well as all Buckeyes). PS, try running away/around those brutes, makes your body last longer.....

No, but look at the river cruises on Portland river, as well as maybe a paddle-wheeler down the Mississippi. Gotta shift focus to what's offered to the east of the Mississippi, as leaving the West behind (Go East young man, go East).....

Ehhh blaming the coaching only goes so far. At some point the kids gotta execute.

Kids can only execute what they are prepared to execute. I agree, in general, with your statements; I know that I’ve coached games that I can look back at and say, that it was on the kids… but sure as shit, I can point at a few games that were completely on me and what I did to prepare them.

I'd bet on Derrick Jones to get a yellow if I had it to do over. Even if he wasn't cheating. I want to go back and bet on Rodney Harrison getting a personal foul in every game too.

I just see it as Smith’s version of Boyer that Patricia got last year. Couldn’t tell you how good of an idea it is, but it’s someone they like coaching with that makes things run easier.

Agreed. I read it as a 'we're not thrilled with our OL coaching, specifically w/r/t the run game. This shit needs fix'n and with a new OC who knows how to establish a mean ground and pound (debatable for BN27) run game, we need someone to take his vision and unfuck the OL.'

THE STARS WERE ALIGNED. I had a blast on the latest 12th Warriors Happy Hour with Michael Jenkins. The Ohio State legend joined members of Eleven Warriors’ selfless perks program on Thursday to discuss his college career, NFL career and life after football.

I could share many details about the call — and I likely will in the future — but I have to start with Jenkins’ breakdown of Holy Buckeye. Eleven Warriors ranked last offseason as Ohio State’s No. 1 play since 2000, which Jenkins called “special.”

“It’s pretty wild to think of,” Jenkins said. “When you go back and look at the magnitude of that play with everything on the line, and kind of the way Tressel Ball had been — 3 yards and a cloud of dust, take a deep shot, and it works out — I’m glad I caught it. You think of everything that’s happened since then in Ohio State history, and for that to be up there in a lot of Buckeye memories and minds, it’s very special.”

The play call for Holy Buckeye was King Right 64 Y-Shallow Swap. Jenkins said it was designed for tight end Ben Hartstock, who hauled in a 13-yard reception the play before. However, as we all know now, that’s not how it worked out.

“You’re really thinking that Ben Hartstock is going to get the little crossing route. We’d just get the first down and keep going down the field,” Jenkins said. “But the crazy part was the Swap for us. When you run the tight end on the Shallow, I always ran the Dig, and then (Chris) Gamble or the Z would run a Post.

“So, Swap, you know, we obviously swapped what we were doing. I’m supposed to run the post, and then Gamble’s supposed to run a Dig. But if you look at the film, like I just ended up running a Go and Gamble’s running a post. So we didn’t even run what we were supposed to run. And so that just lets you know, as my Dad always says, the stars were aligned that season.”

Yes, they were!

It sounds like he has been through hell trying to stay on the field. When you are playing in such pain, after more than two decades of football, it is really time to think very hard about the effects of continued play somewhere else on your health.

Yeah, I agree. It's not like he needs more money, at least he shouldn't.

The Weekender: New Mexico Names 32-Year-Old Ryan Berryman Its Athletic Director, Arkansas Will Have Tyson Foods As Its Jersey Patch and Akron Football is Now Bowl-Eligible

Akron Football Bowl Eligible for 2026​

The Zips received a waiver from the NCAA on Wednesday that will immediately eliminate their postseason ban and remove practice restrictions that were in place for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

"We are very proud of our academic progress and excited about the opportunity to compete in the postseason this fall," Akron Head Football Coach Joe Moorhead stated.

Akron's bowl ban and restrictions were due to the 2021-22 academic year, when a coaching change and roster adjustments caused the football team's APR to fall below the required four-year average. The Zips, who finished the season 5-7 (4-4 in the MAC), their best record since the 2017 season, were not only ineligible for the postseason, but also forced to decrease their full practice hours from 20 hours to 16 hours each week throughout the season.

Akron is now eligible for the MAC football championship and a bowl game if it gets to at least six wins.

The Zips last played in a bowl game in 2017.

College football's biggest trap games in 2026: Texas, Ohio State among teams that face sneaky tests​

These eight potential CFP contenders should beware -- you can't take anything for granted in college football​

Ohio State at Nebraska, Nov. 21​

The Buckeyes have not lost the game preceding Michigan under Ryan Day, but there was a close call at Maryland in 2022 when Ohio State was ranked No. 2 and unbeaten.

Day has been nearly untouchable against non-elite opponents during his tenure, so this one drips with nobody-will-see-it-coming measures. The toughest assignment for the Buckeyes is keeping their eyes on the Huskers with Michigan looming at Ohio Stadium.

Matt Rhule hasn't beaten a ranked opponent with the Huskers and could get as many as five opportunities to do so this fall. Nebraska signed former Virginia and UNLV star Anthony Colandrea in the portal after losing Dylan Raiola to Oregon. Nebraska's only win in 11 tries against Ohio State came in Lincoln during the 2011 season, a 34-27 decision that led to a coaching change a few months later, with Urban Meyer eventually taking over

Thread moved.

Am betting that Siereveld is pushed inside this year (RG methinks), while one of the younger guys are put in the LT position. Is he valuable, certainly, and needs to have a place on the OL. Can see Bowen making changes, looking for that best front 5 to take the field. Can always stick a TE on the left to help with leakage, until the newbie 'gets it'. Certainly have upcoming talent at LT, only not ripe yet.

I think he is more naturally suited for OG, but you put your best guy there regardless when the necessity arises and we've seen this in the past (see Donovan Jackson). So I'm sure Austin will get some reps there and may end up being the guy there. Even if it's not his natural position at the next level, it helps the team and typically helps his draft stock showing the versatility to swing out to tackle.

One of the great things about living in AZ, besides the winter weather, is we don't don't change our clocks. Every year though some clown either arrives one hour early to work or one hour late because they have their phones set to Mountain Time.

Sac State is legit

1969 - without that 24-12 loss, the SuperSophs would have had a 3-peat. The Natty for the 1970 Coaches poll was awarded before the bowl games, and tOSU would have been ahead of Texas if they’d been defending 2 Natties. The loss to Stanford would have only affected the AP poll.

The Florida loss after the 2006 season and the 1976 Rose Bowl loss in Archie’s last game are the next closest for me.

If I’m not mistaken, ‘69 also led to Woody becoming even more conservative offensively. IMO that loss had a huge effect on ‘70 and ‘73-‘75.

Could’ve been an all time run of NCs. At the very least OSU outright beats the cheaters and wins it all in ‘73.

UGA is debating a update of their classic logo. The committee is down to 2 versions.
