In my experience, many fouls are caused by reaching, which translates to slow feet. Moving the feet to get between the basket and player with the ball is key. A&M players were moving their feet, and disrupting both the passing lanes and the players trying to dribble around them. They also placed themselves in the passing lanes, which hindered the Buckeyes. Nothing special here, but A&M's D started at teh 3 point line, and forced the Buckeyes to launch from waaay out. Consequently missing most shots. Best plays saw were the drive, forcing a 2 on 1 game, with an assist for a basket or dunk. Unfortunately, the Buckeyes didn't have enough of those to make a difference. Our bigs have an unfortunate tendency to foul, as we've seen, and that allows the opposition to drive right at 'em, and force them to give way for an easy lay-up, or contest, which usually leads to another foul. All a learning curve for the Buckeyes, to be dealt with in practice. Also, the Buckeyes might work on boxing out (duh), as A&Ms offensive rebounding gave them second and third shots. Plus tOSU's star 3 point shooter was a tad off, and no one jumped in to take over.

A $1 billion proposal is the latest plan to refurbish and save the iconic Houston Astrodome​

Houston Astrodome's Future​

In this artist rendering provided by the Astrodome Conservancy, shows some of the proposed mixed use spaces, supplied by Gensler Architects, for renovations of the now dormant Astrodome unveiled during a press conference put on by the Astrodome Conservancy held at The Ion Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024, in Houston.

The Houston Astrodome has been in limbo, waiting for its chance at a second life since being shuttered more than 15 years ago.

It was a technological marvel when it opened in 1965. But its heyday has long passed and it hasn’t been home to a sports team since the Astros left in 1999 and it was closed to all events a decade later.

Over the years, ideas for its redevelopment and rebirth have been plentiful, everything from turning it into an indoor water park to flooding its sunken floor in order to reenact naval battle scenes. But none of these plans garnered enough public support or financing.

The latest proposal to refurbish the Astrodome was unveiled on Wednesday by a nonprofit focused on saving the beloved domed stadium. The group, the Astrodome Conservancy, proposes redeveloping the inside of the structure to create new areas for restaurants, retail, office and cultural spaces. But like the others before it, this plan could face a similar fate, with a $1 billion price tag and an initial lack of support from local entities that would need to give their OK for the project to go forward.

Beth Wiedower Jackson, the conservancy’s executive director, said that unlike previous proposals, her organization believes theirs is backed by data and would be economically viable in part because there would be enough private investment to support it.

“This is a big, big, bold vision. And those previous plans, even admitted by Harris County officials, were a first step towards a future Astrodome. And this is the full swing of the bat. And this gives people something to be excited about,” Jackson said.

The plan, Vision: Astrodome, proposes the construction of four state-of-the-art buildings inside the stadium that would offer spaces for restaurants, stores and offices. Similar spaces for shopping and eating would also be located around the Astrodome and connected to other facilities around the stadium. The Astrodome is at NRG Park, a 350-acre complex that includes NRG Stadium, located right next to the Astrodome and home to the NFL's Houston Texans, as well as an arena and exhibition halls.

“The Astrodome is ready now for its next chapter, redevelopment," said Phoebe Tudor, the conservancy’s chairman. "It is time for all of us in Houston to come together and do something hard, working together to repurpose the Astrodome.”

One of the top 2027 running backs nationally, the Buffalo (N.Y.) Canisius standout was at Ohio State over the weekend and loved what he saw from the Buckeyes.
Coach Ryan Day told Kimble that they were going to play fast and aggressive and that’s exactly what Kimble saw as Ohio State and Oregon have taken the early lead in his recruitment.

Perhaps we should pay Scott's to put their name on the field instead of Safelite and take care of actual grass. It could be Scott's Lawn at Ohio Stadium.

Football needs to be played outdoors on grass. (I've read all the reasons it isn't practical/possible at the Shoe, so chalk this up as my one unhinged fan opinion)

DB Damon Webb (2017 Cotton Bowl Def MVP, Ottawa Redblacks)

Webb named All-CFL​

While we focus primarily on NFL players from Ohio State in Across The Shield, another former Buckeye playing north of the border deserves a shoutout for his professional football performance this season.

In his third season as a member of the CFL’s Ottawa Redblacks and fourth CFL season overall, former Ohio State safety Damon Webb earned All-CFL honors for the first time as he had a standout season in which he recorded 69 tackles with five interceptions – including two pick-sixes in one game – plus two sacks and a forced fumble.
