Undoubtedly. No one has ever said that Ryan Day was deficient in the brain department. Hey, had a thought. It appears (to me at least), that a combination of Kevin Wilson and Brian Hartline will collaborate on OC duties, plus Wilson becoming OL coach, and Hartline doing his dance with the WRs. Has anyone told Brian that he'd have to give up his field duties, because an OC mostly stays in the press box area to oversee what the other team's D is doing. Don't really believe he's ready to give up his field duties quite yet. Finally, thought LeAllen (?) was the asst DL coach to LJsr? Seems to me, to be a blow as thought he was the heir apparent. For when LJ finally calls it a career.

So I'm guessing that LJsr has 're-upped' as DL coach for The Ohio State University? Else why let his heir apparent go elsewhere? To get blooded in the big chair somewhere else first? Someone help me clear away the fog?

It is me too, watched this one with my dad and realized every time I watch we seem to lose. But we played pretty well until that final run by Illinois...tough to win there on the road and Illinois is damn good this year. I think there is plenty to build on to make a nice run in the upcoming schedule and start building the resume back up.

How fucking bad are these guys? Got on the Saturday game and they've given up 19 shots and 2 goals in the first half of the first period. Those are often end of 2nd period type numbers.

Have to say, was impressed with the rebounding stats. Also with the fact that all three of tOSU's bigs had 4 or more fouls. Shows me that they were under the hoop and working hard. Fouls happen, and at PSU, saw our share of ticky-tack fouls. But the point is that they all played hard. Thought Diebs would let Bradshaw play through his fourth, and when the fifth comes, reload with the Croatian frosh. Also like that when they 'go small', there's two long forwards to cover the rim. Don't believe that this team has defined roles yet (as I can see), but enough savvy on the floor that they fill in for teammate 'misses'. Also, seems like there are enough bigs that a rotation can be established. Saw the freshman big stand tall during the closing minutes, a block/rebound, and then again a rebound and put back. Cannot count on our backcourt lighting it up as they did at PSU, all the time. PS, Bradshaw needs a bit more meat on his bones to handle the B10 pounding.

Bagmen.

Bagmen.

Not saying what we don't already know, but this Hartline cat is good at his job. Keep him at all costs.

Bump

Nothing to get worked up about from what I read at first glance.

38MM is not a lot of money vs a budget of 300 and it’s a known, one off thing (6 home games) year.

What are you going to do, cut spending on the cash cow when you know another positive revenue fiscal year is under way?

This is a timing issue. Nothing more.

Not worried about it either. Plus aside from only 6 home games, most games at home aside from The Game were not exactly banner matchups that drive in revenue.

Regardless, we got a Natty and Bjork is off to a good start there. I also think he is doing a good job with other programs so far, or at least the ones I follow. If there is an actual issue with the budget, it is Ohio State and you can be damn sure it will be corrected.

Devin’s been fantastic — more of that, and they can definitely pull away with a solid win.

Thank you!

Walked on. Worked himself onto the field in 13 games this year. Became a national champion. I have a tremendous respect for the persistence and attitude behind that kind of achievement. Now, I hope he gets a chance to start a Masters degree and hold down a starting position.

Well done, Patrick!

Thank you. It was a heck of a season.

Totally agree with that sentiment. Currently with an empty title, Hartline should (?) be pushing to put some relevant experience behind it. He's on a tremendous run as WR coach/recruiter, but as we all know, things change, and nothing lasts forever. Mid-majors might tab him as HC, eventually, but a lower level doesn't ensure success, methinks. Sitting in the meetings, even participating, watching game plans being fomented is important, but until one has the experience. doesn't make sense to be named 'the guy'.

most of 024 season

here u go

I know this game is janky, but I'm psyched I have a copy and get to play as the National Champion Buckeyes FOREVER.

No matter the deep route or opponent, Smith is always covered. However, I can run 10 drag routes in a row anf they never think to stop it.

North Carolina it is.

Thank you
