Thee Ohio State University News

Thought that what land grant meant. You graduate, you get in. Of course the flunk out courses were there, and skinnied down those huge classes. Went to Miami U undergrad (tOSU MBA), and they could legally limit, due to dorm issues, and lack of outside apt rentals in Oxford. Columbus didn't have those restrictions. Now, there are GPA, writing etc, and apt restrictions. Maybe younger generation is smarter than we were/are? Provisional acceptance to the outer campuses. If do well, can move on up to main campus. Meanwhile, the very best uni's are still in the 4-5% acceptance rates, but other schools are empty, and/or failing. Interesting.

U.S. beats France for fifth straight women's World Cup title​

Breanna Stewart and the U.S. faced a stiff challenge from France before dominating in the second half to win its fifth consecutive women's FIBA World Cup.

The 97-79 victory extended the Americans' streak to 36 straight World Cup wins, dating to the semifinals of the 2006 World Cup, where they lost to Russia. The U.S. improved to 9-0 in gold-medal games since finishing second in 1983 to the Soviet Union.

Despite the final score, this one wasn't easy; the Americans faced their biggest deficit in the tournament in a long time, trailing by 14 points in the first half. They calmly rallied behind Stewart and Jackie Young to get within two at halftime, and Caitlin Clark hit a 3-pointer just before the buzzer.

The U.S. dominated in the second half, starting the third quarter with a 11-2 run to go up 54-47. Stewart, who has now four World Cup titles to her name, had four points during the game-changing burst.

Stewart, who was named the tournament MVP, finished with 22 points and Young with 18.

France was able to get within 55-51, but the Americans used a 16-3 spurt that included France being called for two unsportsmanlike fouls on the same play. The Americans were up 73-57 heading into the fourth quarter, and France never was able to close the gap.

This was the second-youngest team the Americans have sent to a World Cup. There were many newcomers on the roster including Clark, Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers, who were getting their first experience with the national team. But it was the veterans who carried the team to the victory.

tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Certainly a legitimate question. If so, then these QBs would matriculate to the Mid-American conferences of the world. And their training would be second rate as well. Now, might get some game time earlier, but daily learning by some of these bigger schools, who have better coaches (more of them as well), and more competitive competition to go against, might actually pay bigger dividends. HS coaches are not so great, (exceptions exist certainly), but generally not. So learning opportunities exist at the upper levels. Probably a NIL package might be bigger with the bigger schools, else the kids, if not deemed to be able to play at that level, would probably a preferred walk-on.

Myles Garrett (DE Los Angeles Rams)

ScriptOhio

Sources: Rams' Myles Garrett to have knee surgery, headed to IR​

Rams defensive end Myles Garrett will have arthroscopic surgery on his knee and be placed on injured reserve, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Sunday.

Garrett, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, will miss at least the next four games. He is eligible to return to the roster for the Rams' Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

After the Rams' season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Garrett said his knee was not 100% healthy going into the game. He called his performance against San Francisco "the worst version of myself that I've put out there."

Garrett missed most of training camp with what Rams coach Sean McVay called swelling in Garrett's knee. After the Week 1 game in Melbourne, Australia, Garrett declined to say which knee is injured, but he wore a sleeve on his left leg during several practices.

I'm guessing 6-7 again isn't a stretch. That is tremendous underachievement at a program like OU. Hell, Lincoln Riley won a ton there and he sucks at USC. Inexcusable

Ou is a program that can land a top 10 recruiting class yearly and not have to leave from a 10hr radius. They should sleep walk to 9 wins yearly
