WR Devin McCuin (Official Thread)

This. They didn't see the field until they met the Hartline standard and we repeatedly saw the results in the guys' second and third years. That said, there is much to be said for getting actual game experience along the way and the NIL era is going to require more rotation, even at tOSU. I also love the idea of wearing DBs the fuck out with fresh horses the whole game, even if that just means making them run deep blasts and working them. I can't imagine anyone's DB depth matching our WR depth, while our younger guys lack experience, they're all fast.
Right, and it’s a long season. There’s no need for JJ Smith to be on the field in the second half when we are up 35-0. That’ll save the legs for the room which will pay off late in the year. We nearly didn’t have either of our top WRs going down the stretch last year due to injury.

2028 GA WR Madoxx Davis (Verbal Offer)

Tom Loy on Madoxx Davis:

I still believe Ohio State is setting the bar early for the Georgia native, who is originally from New Jersey. The Buckeyes continue to cause Davis to light up with a smile from ear to ear when he talks about them. That said, this recruitment is far from over. We'll see where he visits this fall, and we will see which schools continue to move the needles for him as time progresses.
Loy mentioned that Clemson, LSU, Florida and Ole Miss will be involved. Georgia and Miami are two others that are lingering as well.
Davis has just two game day visits planned so far, Ohio State vs Michigan and Alabama vs Georgia.

When did poker become a sport?

Just sayin': I still don't consider poker a sport....

Over 9K players in WSOP chasing $10M top prize

With registration now closed, the $10,000 World Series of Poker main event is underway in earnest with the fourth-largest field in its history.

The 2026 edition of professional poker's de facto world championship has 9,208 players competing for a $10 million top prize from a pool of $85.6 million, the third consecutive year for that specific first prize. The top 1,382 players will receive a payout, with $1 million payouts beginning at ninth place.

The numbers are a bit short of the 9,735 entrants to last year's tournament, as well as the record 10,112 players in 2024 and $12.1 million first prize won by Daniel Weinman in 2023. That said, the WSOP main event exceeded 9,000 players for the fourth year in a row after breaking the barrier for the first time in 2023.

"We're proud of the staying power this strong entrant number represents," World Series of Poker CEO Ty Stewart said in a statement. "The WSOP continues to draw players from around the world for poker's most prestigious event. Now, the focus turns to watching a new legend unfold."

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi is back to defend his main event title after pocketing $10 million as last year's champion, his eighth WSOP bracelet. Mizrachi claimed his ninth bracelet by winning the $10,000 pot-limit Omaha championship just days before the main event began.

Michael Rossitto is the current chip leader at 770,500, with Jeff Fenster (747,000), Yannick Schumacher (738,000), Robert Gill (728,500) and Joseph Baghdadlian (705,000) all above the 700,000 threshold. Benny Glaser and Shaun Deeb, who also won their ninth bracelets at WSOP events earlier this summer, are at 193,000 chips and 368,500 chips, respectively.

"It's the one no-miss tournament of the year. If you're available and you have the 10K [buy-in], you're going to show up and play," Jack Effel, SVP of poker operations at Caesars Entertainment, which runs the event, told ESPN before the start. "You could be a professional poker player, not play any tournaments of the year, you're not going to miss the main event most likely. So with that said, I think it's going to be a great turnout as it always is."

The WSOP main event is back on ESPN platforms for the first time in over a decade. Play resumes on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET.

Detroit Tigers (4x World Series Champions)

Tigers' Justin Verlander to retire after 2026 season

"I never wanted to retire because of a milestone, a number, or a date on the calendar. I wanted the game to tell me when it was time. Over the last several months, I've realized that time has come."...Justin Verlander, Detroit Tigers

Just sayin': Similar to pussy, "father time" is also undefeated.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

So I guess an NBA career is out of the question?
Re: Fraud involving over $500,000 generally carries severe penalties ranging from 2 to 30 years in prison, depending on whether it is prosecuted at the state or federal level. Fines can reach up to $1,000,000, with mandatory restitution for victims

Just sayin': I'll go out on a limb here and say his NBA career is (at least) on hold for betweem 2 to 30 years.

2028 FL TE Asher Ghioto (Verbal Offer)

Asher Ghioto says Ohio State has been recruiting him hard since the contact period for 2028 recruits opened up and he’s planning to make it to a game this fall.

He said NIL will be a small factor in his decision (starting to become the new “education matters”). Says he will go anywhere in the country, he doesn’t have to stay in Florida. Said he wants to go to a program that’s big on faith and will develop him on and off the field, as a NFL player and as a man. He wants a coach that will mentor him and prepare him for life after football.

QB Dwayne Haskins Jr. (All B1G, B1G OPOY, Silver Football, Rose Bowl MVP, R.I.P.)

scUM player: "Number 7, we gonna get his ass"

How'd that work you for you, shit-for-brains?

Edit: I shouldn't be too hard on the dUMb player, he may be the best French-Fryer on his shift.
I'm sure I've said this in this thread but I was at this game and all of the tsun folks were chuckling when JT went down. I turned around to the guy behind me and said something to the effect of the two of them being very different QBs... Perhaps the only time in my life where I've been on the other end of a QB going down and a team not being prepared in the least for the change of pace with a new QB under center.
