#21 Ohio State @ #23 Texas A&M, Nov. 15 @ 9pm ET, SEC Network

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.

Injuries and artificial turf

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)

Ohio State vs #19 Texas, Monday, Nov 4, 2024 @ 10 PM ET, in Las Vegas, TNT

to each their own but I didnt think Meechie looked bad at all. Hit a couple 3's and played some good active defense. Had a few shots roll out or his stat line wouldve looked even better. Probably all jacked up on mt dew being back in the S 'n G!
I can't really pinpoint any specific moments but I just wasn't impressed with him. Also others were stealing the show with their play, so fewer opportunities for him. But I know he is a talent and it could be he was excited to be back in the right uniform. Mountain Dew may have been involved haha. I have no concerns of his play over the course of the season.

Offensive Linemen​

Seth McLaughlin: 52

Carson Hinzman: 50
George Fitzpatrick: 16
Luke Montgomery: 14
Ian Moore: 14
Joshua Padilla: 14
Austin Siereveld: 13
Toby Wilson: 3

Ohio State used the same starting lineup on the offensive line as it did against Penn State with Jackson starting at left tackle and Hinzman starting at left guard. Hinzman left the game for Ohio State’s final two plays of the first half after suffering an apparent knee injury and was replaced by Siereveld, but Hinzman returned for the start of the second half. Jackson came out of the game at the start of the fourth quarter – two plays before the rest of Ohio State’s starters – and was replaced by Fitzpatrick at left tackle after he was slow to get up on Ohio State’s second-to-last play of the third quarter.

Fitzpatrick remained in the game for the entire fourth quarter with the second-team offensive line, which also consisted of Montgomery at left guard, Padilla at center, Siereveld at right guard and Moore at right tackle. Wilson, a self-described glue guy, saw his first offensive snaps of the year when he replaced Siereveld at RG for the game’s final series.
