OHIO -- Ohio State: This one was obvious as the Buckeyes remain serious national championship contenders under Ryan Day. In fact, they may be the favorite to win it all in 2026. Heisman Trophy finalist Julian Sayin is back to throw to fellow Heisman Trophy candidate Jeremiah Smith behind what should be an elite offensive line. On defense, Matt Patricia has been paid handsomely to keep working his magic.

I see one state they got wrong already

Week 1 Game Discussion Thread

For those of us of a certain age group, it’s still hard to fathom how far Florida State has fallen compared to their peak years under Bowden

FSU has played New Mexico State and SMU and absolutely cannot convert on 3rd down nor get their defense off the field on 3rd down.

Their secondary is a sieve as is the OL. The QB is a clown show and will eventually remind the world that he is a turnover machine- not just a punt maker.

I am with you- I hate FSU and I hate their trash fan base-but goddamn...I cannot believe they are this bad.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights (official troll of PedSU)

1788881636419.png

I remember every minute of 9-11..
Was here in Jersey but had an extremely busy day.. ironically helping folks from Akron who were in the city during the attack
Including a dozen Merrill financial advisors on their way to a training seminar in the towers... Hour later they would have been killed.
Total mayhem for an entire week... Many locals work in the city.. spouses of my kids' teachers never came home..

37 Rutgers alumni lost their lives

2027 GA DL David "DJ" Jacobs is a Buckeye!!!

Per 11w poster:
DJ Jacobs post visit interview with Tom Loy summarized:

Gave a shoutout to The Eagle for an amazing pregame meal, said he loved it at Ohio State and was happy to be out there.

Said he paid attention to the entire defense but mostly Kenyatta, noted his 8 pressures on the day and said he was proud to see everyone on defense eating.

Said he spent great time with Ryan Day before and after the game, it’s like family with him. Also said Patricia is one of his favorite coaches on the staff, said he and Patricia are going to have some great talks and a great relationship over the next few years.

Loy noted that Jacobs couldn’t be happier with his Ohio State commitment and will be back later this fall (Oregon and Michigan) and Jacobs mentioned to him that any other visits he takes are to support Dawson, that’s it.
