Women's Pro Golf

calibuck
Just another tidbit. Teaching pro once told me to watch the women golfers, not the men. Why, because the men hit such outrageously long shots, both drives and irons, while the women hit more comparable shots to we non-professional golfers. Used to be true, but now the women are banging their drivers much longer (than me certainly), and their short games are simply top notch, versus mine....anyway, even the HS players hit the ball further than I do. Watched the US Open qualifier at our course, and these guys were hitting driver, five iron to the opening par 5, and their tee box was almost touching the back shrubs. In case you're wondering, I hit driver, 3 wood, and from a 7 to an 8 into the green, depending on the wind. Believe the low qualifier shot a 63 from the tips....

C Christoph Tilly (Official Thread)

calibuck
Not great insight, but Tilly has to start hitting his shots, in order to draw out opposing big to guard him. Kinda basic stuff. If tOSU needs him to shoot three's, we're in a whole lot of trouble. Do enjoy his 'jump hook', of sorts, and is effective when he gets ball 3-4 feet away from basket. He is forcing their bigs to shield him off of the boards, allowing Bynum and Devin to swoop in and flush the ball.....Hopefully he stays healthy, and Noel comes back soon. Any word on Noel's 'foot injury'?

Just wondering do mascots get NIL money when they appear in commercials?

:lol:

I'm guessing that the school gets a nice check which is a tax write off for the company; and school just pays the guy/girl in the mascot costume his/her expenses (i.e. travel, hotel, and meals, etc.) to go to the filming secessions. Cheerleading is an actual course at Ohio State which earn the participants credit hours toward graduation. The mascots appearing in commercials could be under the umbrella of "lab work" for the course. There are at least 3 or 4 guys that are Brutus Buckeye each year. It's probably an up front requirement that they know about when they tryout for Brutus; however, even if it isn't, I'm sure that they can find one of them more than willing to do the commercials, etc.

SF Brandon Noel (Official Thread)

calibuck
Bynum's emergence has lessened the impact of Noel's injury. Njegovan is playing his heart out when inserted, but the Tilly/Noel combo has done very well this year. Bynum is learning, and his athleticism is off the charts. This has allowed Devin to slash to the basket, and still marvel how much hops he has. Would bet vcash that his vertical leap is best on team. Keep it rolling, get Bruce to his first NCAA...

Ohio State vs. UCLA, Saturday Jan. 17, 1pm EST, CBS

calibuck
Totally agree, great win for the Buckeyes. Also of note (being a numbers guy), the rebounding was tilted waay into the Buckeye column. Certainly need more OR, but will take keeping them from second effort points, gladly. PS, mean 'everybody', not just UCLA. Of concern, certainly are 'points from bench'. This is where Noel/Tilly came in, and no one has really stepped up. Chaisman wanted in (you could see it), but the bench scoring simply wasn't there. Don't remember Diebler substituting many minutes, though. Cupps got to be All-Ohio by scoring, yet don't see that from him. Anyway, not to be Negative Nelly, but there are always things to clean up. Hats off to Bruce for being Mr. Consistency. You don't know when, you don't know where, but you DO know it'll be there.....Go Bucks!

2024 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Texas Tech, JMU, Bama, UGA, aTm are the only teams in the CFP with QBs they recruited.
Unfortunately many of the NIL numbers aren't made public, so its hard to compare numbers unless the player, their agent or someone associated with them releases that info. Hence why I have yet to see how much Sayin is earning or negotiating, or how much JJ makes(the rumor is he's up to $7mil for next season). This is all a weird area we're in, in CFB. We know some salaries, but not all. So its kind of like a professional level, but still some numbers are shrouded in secrecy, my guess is because there isn't enough interest in those particular players.

Whatever JJ is making, its not enough.
