Princeton demolished Hilliard Bradley 59-28 to bring the D1 title to Cincinnati for the first time in a while. OSU recruit Kam Mercer had a quiet game offensively, scoring 3 points, but his +/- was large. Amire Gill was on fire, scoring 24 points on 10-12 shooting - I've heard rumors he is going the prep school route. Rognny Santiago Lugo had a monster tournament, 12 points in the final, but had 28 in the semifinals over St. Eds. He is a PURE shooter, set to play college ball at Findlay next year. I don't know what his actual height is, but a bigger school might want to take a chance on Santiago - he fills a need for most teams.

Well I guess if we don't get him Harvard is a decent place to end up.

His point makes no sense. Yes, Ohio State fans care more about football. Duh. But Ohio State fans aren't asking for and don't expect the basketball program to be Duke or Kansas. They just think it's ridiculous for the program to be like the 8th best team in the conference, which it is currently

Titus goes overboard on the critique, and it's silly to be mad at the fans. Yeah, there are a lot of idiot fans, but everyone has idiot fans online. You have to remember with social media/Barstool, their job is to get attention. That being said, I think it's completely legitimate to question the support Diebler has gotten from the university and with NIL. I am a believer that OSU has not had the right approach to the transfer portal in men's basketball and it has really hurt the team the last two years at least & it's been a combination of scouting/evaluation misses and not having funds to land the best transfers. Hopefully the planned addition of a GM can make a difference, but obviously they need a new approach to the transfer portal.

Back to Titus. I'm a put your money where your mouth is kind of guy. Titus was bitching tOSU basketball doesn't get enough NIL money. My question to him would be how much has he given? I think it's kind of unAmerican to decide where other people should spend their money, especially if you haven't put your own money there. Who do they think they are, Congress? But then again, maybe that's just me.

Now get off my lawn!

Yeah, they got smoked by Tennecheat. Just want to support the way the Miami fans drove up 75 to Dayton. Wow. First time have ever seen a team in speedos run down the aisles....great season guys. Oh well, back to Millett

Underrated? Hmmm, so long as we don't keep using him as a fullback maybe. Didn't think much of his blocking when lined up that way.

Ah...tackling the important matters

NCAA softens targeting punishment: Committee nixes automatic suspensions for players​

After more than a decade of complaints from coaches, the NCAA is eliminating the automatic carryover suspension for first-time offenders​

The targeting rule in college football has long been a subject of discontent among coaches, and finally, change is coming to the penalty structure.

The Division I FBS Oversight Committee approved a one-year trial rule on Thursday that fundamentally reshapes targeting penalties. Now, first-time offenders will be allowed to participate in the next game, regardless of which half the foul occurs. Previously, players charged with targeting in the second half were booted from the game and suspended for the first half of the next game.

A player disqualified for targeting a second time during a season will be required to miss the first half of the next game. A third targeting penalty triggers a full-game suspension. No player in the FBS was charged with three targeting penalties in 2025.

Conferences will now also have the option to file an appeal for second offenses. The appeal can also include the player's first targeting foul. If the NCAA's national coordinator of football officials overturns the targeting foul, the player will not have to sit out the next game.

The baseline, in-game penalties remain. Players charged with targeting will be ejected for the remainder of the contest, and a 15-yard penalty will be assessed to the offending team. The NCAA implemented the targeting foul in 2008, and the ejection penalty was added in 2013. Conference offices have been allowed to appeal disqualification decisions made in the second half of games, further fueling coaches' campaign against the penalty structure.

Well, lingerie wears out over time, but the name on a building (paid for with your bucks) lasts forever. Guess it's a legacy thing. And would imagine that tOSU would want Wex's name off the buildings....

The Eagles acquired veteran quarterback Andy Dalton from the Panthers in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.

Philadelphia has long prioritized stocking its quarterbacks room. Sam Howell's departure in free agency to the Cowboys created an opening alongside franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee.

Dalton, 38, went 1-6 in seven starts during three seasons with Carolina, including 0-1 in 2025 when he was sacked seven times in a 40-9 loss to the Bills.

The 15-year veteran has thrown for 39,793 yards in his career with 254 touchdowns and 151 interceptions.

Too late for the Premiership, but Mo Salah is back! When they are firing like tonight they are a brutal attack. Loving every second of this Galatasaray dismantling in Anfield.

I forgot to add this: I really could care less who else we fill out the LB class with, as the room is very strong already and the '28 class is loaded. 5* Kameron McGee (who some think will be in contention for the #1 overall player spot) is now being recruiting by both LJ and Laurinaitis and is a hybrid player. He visits on April 4, and has said OSU is his dream school.
