2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Seem to recollect, every high school kid that got 'recognized' was a big scorer. Hardly ever (?) does a kid make 'Mr. Ohio Basketball' as a defender or assist maker. Gotta be a scorer. Recognize that at the collegiate level, players have 'roles', scorers score, tall people rebound and swat shots, etc. Anyone else watching the NCAA's and seeing the ball get passed around the court, and players take turns popping 3's? Maybe our guys don't move enough to 'get open' to be able to pop? Cupp was a Mr. Basketball, no? He is an excellent defender, and can dribble rings around you. He sometimes hits the three. Coincidence, dunno. At this level, everyone can shoot the ball. Else they play intra-mural basketball - like me.

Pete Rose (Charlie Hustle, 4256, Reds HOF, R.I.P.)

Bah! I don’t feel sorry for Petey. He deserved to be banned. He knew the rules. He knew the consequences of breaking them. He still bet on baseball, including Reds’ games.

Then he lied about it. Repeatedly. For years. And to say he didn’t tarnish the game is hogwash.

After all the lies, he finally changed his stories and said his bets didn’t really matter because he never bet for the Reds to lose. Even if you’re naive enough to believe Petey never bet against the Reds, he still rigged games. As manager he chose who played when.
1. He’s dead.
2. If he is where I expect, continued punishment is covered.
Put him in the Hall.

Ohio High School Basketball Discussion

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.

#8 Ohio State vs #9 TCU, Thursday March 19, 1215pm ET, CBS

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!

OL Taylor Decker (All B1G, B1G OL of Year, All American, B1G Champion, National Champion, Pro Bowl, Detroit Lions)

Well, there's taxes, rep commission, and you know, $5 million just doesn't go as far these days.....but yeah, putting away $1 million a year, would yield $10 million (w/o compounding), and that might provide a comfortable living just on its own. And no, don't know what kind of retirement plan the NFL gives. Maybe they match a 401k?
