Bah! I don’t feel sorry for Petey. He deserved to be banned. He knew the rules. He knew the consequences of breaking them. He still bet on baseball, including Reds’ games.

Then he lied about it. Repeatedly. For years. And to say he didn’t tarnish the game is hogwash.

After all the lies, he finally changed his stories and said his bets didn’t really matter because he never bet for the Reds to lose. Even if you’re naive enough to believe Petey never bet against the Reds, he still rigged games. As manager he chose who played when.

1. He’s dead.
2. If he is where I expect, continued punishment is covered.
Put him in the Hall.

Back in the right dominant color. Flip the switch now Justin

Princeton demolished Hilliard Bradley 59-28 to bring the D1 title to Cincinnati for the first time in a while. OSU recruit Kam Mercer had a quiet game offensively, scoring 3 points, but his +/- was large. Amire Gill was on fire, scoring 24 points on 10-12 shooting - I've heard rumors he is going the prep school route. Rognny Santiago Lugo had a monster tournament, 12 points in the final, but had 28 in the semifinals over St. Eds. He is a PURE shooter, set to play college ball at Findlay next year. I don't know what his actual height is, but a bigger school might want to take a chance on Santiago - he fills a need for most teams.

The problem with Ojianwuna is that it's still has to be seen if he can truly bounce back from his injury. You can't fully rely on that happening.

As long as he doesn't see Kremcheck, he's got a chance

Well I guess if we don't get him Harvard is a decent place to end up.

Disagree. Anybody can draw up fancy plays on the chalkboard. But you have to call plays that suit your personnel. Yeah, the o line wasn't great but it's not like they were non-functional. They weren't the only team in the country that had to work around some o line issues. Going into the Miami game against that d-line depending on long-developing deep shots was dumb

Disagree.

Miami's entire defensive philosophy in that game was to take away the short and intermediate stuff that Sayin excelled at. The screen that returned for a Pick-6 fit into what they were trying to do. Short of Sayin turning into a bit more of a runner, taking the top off the defense early on was the right idea in my IMO.

Given the run game issues that were apparent all year long, the only thing that prevented Ohio State from running away with that game was Miami's defensive line breaking down the pass protection as illustrated in the videos above.

The plays were there. If the execution matched the scheme Ohio State rolls. Once Ohio State got behind they had to throw it a ton more than I think they truly wanted to as part of the overall scheme.

If you really want to criticize something from that game, the tempo has to be much faster. Miami's depth should have been tested more than it was.

Either way, I think we both agree the offensive line has to take a step forward this year for this team to be a success. Living on last year's laurels will get them not where they need to be.

His point makes no sense. Yes, Ohio State fans care more about football. Duh. But Ohio State fans aren't asking for and don't expect the basketball program to be Duke or Kansas. They just think it's ridiculous for the program to be like the 8th best team in the conference, which it is currently

Titus goes overboard on the critique, and it's silly to be mad at the fans. Yeah, there are a lot of idiot fans, but everyone has idiot fans online. You have to remember with social media/Barstool, their job is to get attention. That being said, I think it's completely legitimate to question the support Diebler has gotten from the university and with NIL. I am a believer that OSU has not had the right approach to the transfer portal in men's basketball and it has really hurt the team the last two years at least & it's been a combination of scouting/evaluation misses and not having funds to land the best transfers. Hopefully the planned addition of a GM can make a difference, but obviously they need a new approach to the transfer portal.

Back to Titus. I'm a put your money where your mouth is kind of guy. Titus was bitching tOSU basketball doesn't get enough NIL money. My question to him would be how much has he given? I think it's kind of unAmerican to decide where other people should spend their money, especially if you haven't put your own money there. Who do they think they are, Congress? But then again, maybe that's just me.

Now get off my lawn!

Some dolls my grandfather bought in Cuba back before Castro

Yeah, they got smoked by Tennecheat. Just want to support the way the Miami fans drove up 75 to Dayton. Wow. First time have ever seen a team in speedos run down the aisles....great season guys. Oh well, back to Millett

One of One: There Will Never Be Another Ohio State Player Like Bruce Thornton​

“It didn’t go our way, and that’s alright. Life, sometimes stuff don’t go your way,” Thornton said. “But I’m just appreciating the teammates, the coaching staff and Buckeye Nation just sticking with me for four years. I’m so appreciative for everything that happened in my life, man. It’s not the way I wanted to end it, but that’s just how it is sometimes.

"... It hits the heart at home. I feel like I did a lot for this program. The program did a lot for me. The memories, the relationships have done a lot for me," he continued. "Emotionally, crying because you don’t get to share the locker room (anymore) with the guys you’ve been working with since June. So I just told those guys, ‘I’m just one call away.’ If you need anything from me, just call me and I’ll be here. I’m always a Buckeye for life.”

Thornton did more than "a lot" for Ohio State, and while he thanked his fellow Buckeyes, OSU fans can thank him more for what he brought to the program the last four years. Buckeye fans praised Thornton all season, but it was a very special Senior Day that really showed just how much No. 2 has meant to Ohio State.

“Bruuuuuuuuuuce.”

A shame that it's not because he's working at a gas station.

That's not true. A bunch of teams made the playoffs just last year.

Can someone seed this. I have been trying to get this season for a month and there are no seeds...thank you...

been stuck at 21% for weeks...

If he absorbs all the technical aspects LJS teaches him, he makes the effort and puts the time in the weight room it doesn’t seem absurd to think he could get meaningful run this season at least in obvious passing downs.

He looks like a weapon already. Didn’t realize how much of a dude he was.

Just take a chill pill or step away from the keyboard. The whims of a 17 year old and the reporting us such really have no bearing on my life.

Underrated? Hmmm, so long as we don't keep using him as a fullback maybe. Didn't think much of his blocking when lined up that way.
