That is what is so odd about this for me. In a way, this team has already crossed the (first) finish line. They are in the CFP with near mathematical certainty at this point. All the horror memories don't really apply anymore.

Now we face a new reality in terms of horror, that the regular season doesn't mean shit. Like the NFL, a team could be the overall #1 seed, have a 14+ win season and just be dominant...if they lose it's a bad year.

Sorry but they have to beat those fuckers this year. And I mean a Justin Fields, Dwayne Haskins beatdown. Hang 60+ and the defense gets their 5th shutout kinda destruction. Otherwise the year still gets an asterisk from me.

He also has shown next to no interest in OSU either. So I don't even think Walt put in much effort

Exactly. Don't let the door hit ya

Um 12.......SIGH

Projected Top 20 pick in almost all mock drafts. Him and Arvell Reese are changing plans for the OSU 2026 defense…..

Will forever be bummed we got robbed of Tiger in his 50’s competing on his short game and grit.

His body couldn’t hold up obviously. I always said Tiger would break Jack’s major championship record in his early 50’s with wins on hard tracks where short game is required.

He kinda showed that with his last Masters win, but his competing days are over…..unless he applies and is granted a golf cart due to disability (I don’t think he’ll ever go down that route).

Ernie Els is openly pushing him to join the Champions Tour bc he’d have access to a cart. I hope he does it bc it’s always great to see him in a competitive setting.

Sounds like you might be an 'untouchable'. You got complementary boxes to all the games, heisman? And reserved parking?

Typically, I can’t make it to Columbus more than twice a year. More importantly, I’m not “that guy”, if you catch my drift. Most of these guys have questionable pasts, so I like to keep it as professional as possible.

re. Preston Stearns… his run at the regional was exceptional, esp the upsets over teammates Byers and Anthrop.
Five huge wins total for Stearns as a #9 seed makes him worthy of the prestigious invite to the fall championships in Orlando.
BTW, his older sister Peyton is currently ranked #52 on the wta circuit. Hit #28 in the world last May after some impressive wins on clay surface tournaments.
Would love to see her very talented sibling at OSU (Preston’s) game explode this year.

I don't want to dismiss IU, but the only argument I keep hearing for them over OSU is that they beat Illinois by 50pts and OSU didn't. And then some people are saying that they beat Oregon in Eugene, and OSU didn't(not realizing that that was last year with a different team).
IU played 3 of the worst teams in CFB to start(I'd say that Ohio would dominate all 3 of those teams), they beat Iowa who just learned to use the forward pass, and a yearly mid MSU team. It's safe to say that they won't face a team this year with the firepower of OSU, and with a defense as dominant as OSU's

Badgers AD supports Luke Fickell, to increase program's finances​

Wisconsin is set to increase its financial commitment to the football program amid a disappointing season but will push ahead with embattled coach Luke Fickell, athletic director Chris McIntosh wrote Monday in a letter to Badgers fans.

McIntosh acknowledged the Badgers' season has "fallen well short of our standards" under Fickell, the third-year coach who is 15-18 at the school and 2-5 this season. Wisconsin has endured consecutive home shutout losses to Iowa and Ohio State, the team's first home shutouts since 1980.

Fans have chanted for Fickell to be fired, but he will continue to stay on the job, at least for now. The Badgers visit No. 6 Oregon this week.

"Coach Fickell sees the potential in what this team can be, as do I, and he shares the same disappointment and frustration," McIntosh wrote. "Our student-athletes continue to stand and fight with character and pride as they battle through this moment of adversity, and they deserve all of our support."

Wisconsin's financial commitment has been questioned during the team's struggles under Fickell, and McIntosh wrote that investments will increase, especially with athlete recruiting and retention.

"In this new era of collegiate athletics, the clear reality is that high expectations must be matched with an equal level of support," McIntosh wrote. "The results of this elevated support may not be immediate, but we are confident the direction will be positive and long-term."

Amazing throw and catch. Sayin has a fast ball.

Heartily agree with Kyle. When you outlive both the father AND son, you have lived a long life. But, beats the alternative.

Right now you're one of the best. Come to tOSU, and we'll make you better. (Paraphrasing)

Bell saw playing time on offense for the second time this season as the true freshman from California got in for six snaps in the fourth quarter.

Weird rule, and I'm astounded that the OSU special teams haven't found a way to violate it yet.

Top200 Edge Abraham Sesay (PA) confirms he will visit for the UCLA game on 11/15. Long thought to be a heavy PSU lean, but obviously things have changed quite a bit there recently.

Started trending to Ohio State even before Franklin was fired. Penn State’s 247 insider said he’s been waiting on that Ohio State offer which is why he never crystal balled him to Penn State.

AP Top 25 poll: Vanderbilt surges into top 10 for first time since 1947 in Week 9 college football rankings​

Just sayin': The still play #15 Missouri, at #22 Texas, Auburn, Kentucky, and at #17 Tennessee. It will be interesting to see how long they can stay in the Top 10.

Everyone hating on Vandy. I long to see them in the sec title game. They have a good shot to win each of those games. It’s more on can Bama and captain jizz jars lose enough for them to sneak in.

The Cavs have lost 3 games for the first time in a long time. New Bremen defeated them 16-7. So, losses to Clinton-Massie, Anna and New Bremen. Coldwater did have a dominant win over Versailles (who just took Marion Local to the wire, and probably got screwed) 44-14
