One of the best men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing died today at 96. Dwight Davis served as a bomber in WWII before his plane went down and he was captured by the Germans where he was kept as a POW.

His story is one of strength and faith. On his last night as a POW being forcibly marched north along the Baltic, he feel asleep on the beach certain that he would not live to see the morning due to the cold. In the morning, he woke under a blanket of snow that he forever believed that's God had used to save his life. He weighed 98 pounds when he was freed.

I got to hear much of his story last year when he spoke on National POW day at the Champaign Aviation Museum and it's an incredible story.

Below is a link to an interview he did with the Ohio History Connection. I haven't gotten to watch it yet, but I expect it will be much like what I heard last summer.

If you have the time, give it a watch. I can almost guarantee it will be worth it.

A New thread, wow, so refreshing. Some of these threads should have been archived 5 years ago

I am looking at new wireless plans and changing carriers. Has anyone used Google Project FI? It provides access through T-Mobile, Sprint, and another small carrier, selecting whichever has the strongest signal.

I am interested in how well it really works, issues, etc.

Feeling sorry for the young man. Hope he gets better soon!

TRE AVERY, CORNERBACK, RUTGERS
If the name Tre Avery does not sound familiar, it's because he was once known as Kareem Felder when he signed with Ohio State in 2016. Before arriving in Columbus, however, Felder decided to enroll at Toledo instead, where he did not see game action.

The Baltimore native then went to the Garden State, changed his name, and rode the bench for the Scarlet Knights last season.

So far this season, Avery has recorded two tackles for the Scarlet Knights.

JACK WOHLABAUGH, OFFENSIVE LINEMAN, DUKE
A low-ranking member of Ohio State's class when he signed, Wohlabaugh really never had a shot to be a valuable member of the Buckeyes.

After two seasons in which he redshirted and then did not see any playing time, Wohlabaugh elected to transfer to Duke.

So far, Wohlabaugh has played in every game for the Blue Devils this season.

JOSHUA NORWOOD, CORNERBACK, WEST VIRGINIA
A Georgia native, Norwood is on his third school in three years.

After redshirting at Ohio State in 2015, Norwood played in 11 games for the Buckeyes in 2016, recording eight tackles. After electing to transfer, Norwood ended up at Northwest Mississippi Community College, a JUCO school. Now he's in Morgantown, and has been playing significant minutes for the Mountaineers.

He has racked up 31 tackles, six pass deflections, and a forced fumble so far this season.

KIERRE HAWKINS, TIGHT END, YOUNGSTOWN STATE
Hawkins never saw playing time for the Buckeyes after redshirting his first year, then simply riding the bench.

Hawkins has not recorded a statistic yet this season.

https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio...o-state-transfers-contributing-at-new-schools

KYLE TROUT, OFFENSIVE LINEMAN, CINCINNATI
Following three years in the Ohio State program, Trout decided to leave Columbus in search of more playing time, and ended up following coach Luke Fickell to Cincinnati. Last season, Trout played in nine games for the Bearcats, six of which he started at left tackle.

So far this year, he has played in every game for the Bearcats, and had an interesting time at El Toro last Tuesday.

WAYNE DAVIS, DEFENSIVE BACK, JAMES MADISON
Davis was another Buckeye who simply didn't crack the rotation. After leaving Ohio State, Davis returned to his home state of Virginia to play for James Madison. After redshirting his first year in Columbus, Davis played just 10 snaps in his freshman season, leading him to head elsewhere.

So far this season, Davis has recorded three tackles and an interception.

https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio...o-state-transfers-contributing-at-new-schools

RODJAY BURNS, DEFENSIVE BACK, LOUISVILLE
The recruitment of Burns was an interesting one: he was committed to Louisville, then flipped to Ohio State, flipped again to Louisville (never officially de-committed from the Buckeyes, however), and finally back to Ohio State, where he played one season, recorded a tackle, and a pick-six.

During his redshirt sophomore campaign this season, Burns has played meaningful minutes for the Cardinals, recording 27 tackles, and one interception, which came in the Cardinals' loss to Virginia.


https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio...o-state-transfers-contributing-at-new-schools

ALEX STUMP, WIDE RECEIVER, VANDERBILT
Unlike Grimes, Stump was not a "crown jewel" of Ohio State's recruiting class when he came in. The Cleveland native spent two seasons with the Buckeyes, catching one pass for eight yards before getting passed up on the depth chart and transferring to Vanderbilt.

So far this season, Stump has not recorded any statistics for the Commodores during his redshirt junior campaign.

Ohio State men’s basketball | Blast from past: Former coach Eldon Miller to visit Thursday
By Adam Jardy
The Columbus Dispatch
Posted Oct 27, 2018 at 5:00 PMUpdated Oct 27, 2018 at 5:00 PM

Eldon Miller doesn’t describe himself as a “yesterday person” save for a specific, vital exception.

“I am not a yesterday person, other than people,” Miller said this week. “The only thing that’s important in my past is people and lessons you can learn. I’m a today person. I’m living with these guys, the (UNC) Pembroke Braves, and I’m loving it.”

Those worlds of yesterday and the present, as well as dozens of people important to his life, will all collide in an emotional way this week. When Ohio State opens the 2018-19 season with an exhibition Thursday night against the Division II Braves, the former Buckeyes coach will be on the bench for the start of his 11th season in his role as a volunteer assistant coach for a program led by his son, Ben.

The matchup initially was the brainchild of Ron Stokes, one of Miller’s former players and now the analyst for the team’s radio broadcasts. Stokes approached director of basketball operations David Egelhoff and coach Chris Holtmann, who gave the green light to the suggestion of playing the Braves.

Miller said he learned of the game when his son delivered the news as a present for his 79th birthday last summer.

“I was very excited,” he said. “I couldn’t believe it. My son is kind of a sneaky guy. It’s a great opportunity for (the Braves), but most of all, and I can’t emphasize this enough, I have a chance to see some people that I haven’t seen in a long time.”

During his 10 seasons with the Buckeyes from 1977 to ’86, Miller compiled a record of 174-120 and went 96-84 in Big Ten play, including three runner-up regular-season finishes, and twice reached the Sweet 16. In 1980, the Buckeyes were ranked No. 10 nationally but were knocked off by UCLA in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

“I was (usually) hired to try to build programs that were not competitive,” he said. “We certainly did that. Three years later we might have had the best team in the country and we got upset in the regional by UCLA.”



Midway through his 10th season at Ohio State, Miller and athletic director Rick Bay reached what was described as a mutual decision to make a coaching change. The decision allowed both parties to move on without Miller technically having been fired or quitting, and he ultimately accepted a job at Northern Iowa as the Buckeyes eventually hired Gary Williams as his replacement.

Miller said he doesn’t look back much, but that his contract situation — he had 10 one-year contracts, as was customary at the time — was certainly a challenge.

“I’m not disgruntled,” he said. “I had a great time there, but it was time for them to change and sometimes it means changing the head coach.”

A native of Gnadenhutten, Miller said he has frequently been back to Columbus over the years, both to visit his hometown and visit friends who remain in the area.

“I thought it was a good opportunity to bring a guy back that loves Ohio State and cares about the players that he coached,” Holtmann said. “We always want our guys to have an appreciation for what came before them and this is another way for them to acknowledge it, and it’s a way for us to acknowledge our former players.”

More than a dozen former players, coaches and managers — including the likes of Jim Cleamons, Keith Wesson and Larry Huggins — will enjoy the game together, as well as attend both a pre- and postgame reception for Miller. Holtmann said he plans to visit, as well. It’s exactly the reason why, in addition to being thrilled for the opportunity for the Braves to play the Buckeyes, Miller said he is touched by the gesture.

When asked how he thought the fans might greet him when his name is announced before the game, Miller chuckled.

“Don’t know,” he said. “Wouldn’t venture a guess. When you’re in coaching you get a lot of praise and a lot of criticism, and neither one of those things can impact you very much. Seeing some people and looking them in the eye and shaking hands with them, saying thanks, is basically what it’s all about.”

Dr. Adams typically only taught PhD students, but taught a few master level classes I took. The way he ran his classes (lots of projects you had to quickly research, analyze and then present on) was the most beneficial for when I hit the real world. Plus, he taught you how to do a presentation properly. You know, not stand there and read what is on the screen which everyone could read. If you read it he would announce something along the lines of "This isn't story time. We know how to read."
