undecided


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)

Watching the game later tonight and just visiting the thread. Blowout win and hopefully we can get another big one in the next game. Too early to say, but hopefully we have a nice turnaround coming here.

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.

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.

A poster on Bucknuts claims Zachariah Branch will be hitting the portal too.
I know some here would love to have him as a return specialist but USC fans have been criticizing him all season on how he seems afraid to field punts and kick off returns. Could just be making a business decision to not get hurt before hitting the portal.

That would be shocking but I would love love love him in a Buckeye uniform

Inside the Utah Hockey Club's plan for long-term success​

There are two versions of Ryan Smith. There's the public-facing 40-something billionaire tech mogul who answers questions in a way that can be direct, earnest and open to admitting he might not have the right answer ... or an answer at all.

That's the version most people see. But there's also another version of Smith that's unapologetically Utahn. That version comes out in the way he talks about Salt Lake City, the state of Utah and the preconceived beliefs many people have about a place that they've likely never visited.

While the first version of Smith is the reason the Utah Hockey Club exists, it's the second version that is hell-bent on ensuring that the franchise is going to thrive in the most Utah way possible.

"I put everything in Utah. They said we couldn't build tech here, and we'd have to move to the Bay Area," Smith said. "We couldn't get venture funding here. We couldn't IPO a company from here. We couldn't sell. We proved every single person wrong.

"Then I think that people started believing, 'Holy cow. What's going on in Utah?' That's incredibly gratifying when you're fighting for a bigger cause."

This is the mission facing the Utah Hockey Club when it comes to achieving success long term. While the UHC is a new venture, the team relocated from Arizona where they were the Coyotes. Before that, they were the original Winnipeg Jets, relocating to the desert in 1996.

The club is trying to prove that Salt Lake City and Utah as a whole can support the NHL. It's trying to prove that it can make hockey a staple, just like the Utah Jazz have been doing in the NBA for several decades.

Perhaps the most important point the Utah Hockey Club could make is that as Salt Lake City keeps growing, so could the city's professional sports landscape.

"Utahns especially want to show they are more than a flyover state," said Josh Furlong, a broadcaster and the sports director for KSL. "They recognize they are not going to be Los Angeles, Seattle or New York. They want to showcase what Utah has to offer. You have a rabid fan base that will support your team. I think you have a bunch of people who want to showcase that. I don't know if it is some type of FOMO situation where they feel like they're not being included. But they want to be in that mix among the best places.

"You want people to feel what you see. You have this beautiful landscape, friendly people and a great atmosphere for sports culture."

"Utah! Getting bigger and better. Utah! Always leading the way. New technology is here. Growing faster each year. This is the place!"

Those are lyrics from "Utah ... This Is The Place." Written in 1996, it later became the state song in 2003. At the time of the song's creation, Utah was on the verge of announcing itself to more of the world, using sports and entertainment as a mechanism.

The Jazz reached three straight Western Conference finals from 1996 through 1998, with two NBA Finals appearances. Salt Lake City received international exposure during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. In 2005, the University of Utah was the first school to have the No. 1 picks in both the NBA and NFL drafts in the same year, with Andrew Bogut and Alex Smith. The state's fortune was also extended to film in 2004 when a few graduates of BYU's film school made the coming of age cult classic "Napoleon Dynamite."

Decades later, it appears Utah could once again be following a similar path, but with more to gain.

Utah Hockey Club president of hockey operations Chris Armstrong didn't quote the lyrics from the state song when asked about the future. But his words resemble a similar sentiment when he mentions Utah having the nation's No. 3 economy and the youngest state based on median age (30.7 years old).

"It's a unique moment in time where we're building something new from the ground up and we get to do it with everybody here," Armstrong said. "So that is why we see a successful and thriving future. It's only continuing to grow that outpaces most cities in North America, and we think that's a great opportunity for a new sports franchise."



The history of sports fandom in Utah began with major college programs BYU and the University of Utah establishing athletic programs. Smaller schools such as Southern Utah, Utah State, Utah Valley and Weber State have also built followings in various sports.

Professional sports came on the scene in 1979 when the Jazz relocated from New Orleans and eventually became one of the NBA's most successful franchises throughout the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s.

MLS came to the area in 2004 with Real Salt Lake, which averages 20,291 fans per game, and extends to the Utah Royals of the NWSL, a team that was revived in 2024. The Royals' first game drew 20,370 fans which set a state record for the most fans at a women's sporting event.

I still cannot wrap my head around how a high schooler can finish school a semester early let alone a full year.

I can, a lot of kids can have all their credits done by 2nd semester of senior year. If he takes summer classes, and I believe some classes you can even test out of. It’s very possible.
