Was a guest of pastor in the 2008 game. Watched everyone flow right, with the FB the lone person going left. QB stopped and flung the ball down the left side line, which was empty except for said USC FB. Easy touchdown. Stood up and yelled "That's cheating!" and everyone laughed at me. Also Terrell Pryor's coming out party. Wished he had played earlier, and longer. The ONLY bright light that day. PS, cost me $60 bucks to park.

Will be in EST zone for this one. No, getting up, walking with the wife, and settling in for a 9:00am kick-off. Leaves the afternoon for honey-dos. Will be an adjustment certainly.

My only wish(s) is that zero injuries, and that Tavian will get some serious reps with the 1's. Maybe a quarter and a half? With none of this hand-off stuff. I get that the playbook will be very vanilla, with Texas looming the next week, but would like to see him toss the ball around the yard. Maybe a run or two when Ball St drops 8.

Don't accuse me of wearing S&G glasses, but I'd vote for each and every one of those items. Only question is Bo, as RBs can get hurt, and there's a deep bench just waiting their chances. Am baffled why Jeremiah hasn't won one Biletnikoff award yet, but thems the breaks, and the anti-OSU mindset out there. (wish I had a nickel for every talking head who has proclaimed Jeremiah best WR in nation).

Skull Session: Jeremiah Smith is College Football’s WR1, Bryson Rodgers Still Hates The Team Up North and Kirk Herbstreit’s Cameos Cost a Fortune

Jeremiah Smith is college football's No. 1 wide receiver, Bryson Rodgers is a Buckeye for life and Kirk Herbstreit's Cameos cost a fortune.

BUCKEYE FOR LIFE. Bryson Rodgers is not one of ESPN’s top wide receivers in 2026, but he is one of my favorite pass catchers entering the college football season, if only because of a social media post he made Wednesday.

Even after transferring from Ohio State to USF this offseason, Rodgers still hates That Team Up North.

I must have a flaw or two. I just haven't been able to find them yet.

I love watching these two, Tony and Tom, and enjoying their bid heads, broad smiles, and brotherly chemistry.

I agree. Totally my favs on the beat. Especially since recruiting is less of an emphasis these days. I still think Birm is the best in the biz on the recruiting front, but for pure Buckeye entertainment value? Tom and Tony all day long.

Broncos reward coach Sean Payton with new 5-year contract​

The Denver Broncos have signed coach Sean Payton to a new five-year contract, the team announced Thursday.

Payton, 62, had two years remaining on his current contract. This five-year deal replaces that contract. Financial details of Payton's new deal were not disclosed.

Payton led the Broncos to the AFC Championship Game in his third season as the Broncos' coach after guiding Denver to a 14-3 regular-season record in 2025.

Payton's extension comes after the Broncos agreed to a five-year extension with general manager George Paton last month. Now both men are under contract with the organization through the 2030 season.

I think with Oregon, Ohio State, ND, Indiana, and Miami (FL)..there is a good chance an SEC team doesn't win the championship again this year. The best chances are Texas and Georgia I would think and we all know Texas likes to piss down their leg when it really matters.

I expect Oregon, OSU, and Indiana to make the playoffs. USC is my wild card in the conference. If Riley can't get it done with this team this year, will he ever?

Noted the offer from UK, but surprisingly, didn't see one from Louisville. Which, I believe I saw, is his hometown. Maybe he doesn't have the hops to be a UL basketball player? (noted tongue in cheek).

Oh he's definitely been offered by Louisiville
