Just sayin': Ringing the "Victory Bell" before the game is supposedly a new tradition.

Jim Tressel (National Champion, ex-President, Youngstown State University, CFB HOF, Lt Gov of Ohio)​

Re: During his coaching days, Tressel was called the “Senator” for seemingly sounding like a politician when asked about offensive play-calling or blocking schemes.

Just sayin': Maybe they should have called him "Governor".......

'The Way He Throws It Is Different': Will Howard Praises Ohio State's Julian Sayin​

The "Big Noon Kickoff" crew brought some serious championship pedigree to the set ahead of the massive Week 1 clash between No. 1 Texas and No. 3 Ohio State.

Former Buckeye quarterback Will Howard, fresh off a national title run last season, and Texas legend Vince Young, who famously led the Longhorns to a national championship victory over USC in the 2006 Rose Bowl Game, joined the show to talk about the must-see matchup and the two young quarterbacks set to define it.

Howard, who is now set to embark on his rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, is all-in on Ohio State first-year starter Julian Sayin.

"I’m telling you, this kid — he’s got it," Howard said. "I'm excited to see him go out there and just let it rip. He’s a super-talented kid."

Howard, who has a cannon of an arm himself, was quick to credit Sayin's arm strength and his ability to spin the football, something Buckeye fans hope to see on full display Saturday against the top-ranked Longhorns.

The way he throws the ball is different," Howard said of Sayin. "I know he’s got it all in there, and I’m just excited to watch him go do it."

Ex-Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer backs son against Hokies​

As it turns out, blood is thicker than longstanding school ties.

Just as Brent Pry predicted.

Former longtime Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer showed up for the Hokies' season opener on Sunday against South Carolina, which is coached by son Shane Beamer, wearing black to support the Gamecocks.

Pry, the current Virginia Tech coach, knew the older Beamer would have to support his son.

At last month's ACC Football Kickoff, Pry was asked about the opening game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium testing Frank Beamer's conflicting loyalties.

"He loves Virginia Tech an awful lot, but he loves his son first," Pry said with a chuckle. "I think if you ask Frank's wife, she'd be like, 'My son is where it's at, you kidding me?'"

Just imagine how much time Sayin will have vs a team without Simmons/Hill/Moore

Don't really follow HS baseball in Ohio (here in Cali), but appears tOSU is getting some local talent. Hopefully they make the transition to college ball, and show out here. Need some spring points for Sears Cup.....

Great pic Brody. Kinda wish he'd be wearing something scarlet & gray however. Guess will have to wait till the fat lady sings in December (even though we all know that isn't the end of it)......bet his eyes were following Caleb all over the place. Go Bucks!

No, I don't hate the man. But I pity any fool who try and take what I got.

I’m judging. If you are getting baked while driving your kid to school, you are a shitty parent. Grow the fuck up.

1. I agree.
2. I was saying that I'm not judging others who choose to partake. If that's your thing, then cool. But I agree - do that when your parental responsibilities are zero. Same goes for all the other things.
