Chip Kelly (OC Las Vegas Raiders)

Go watch the whole interview over on the Ryan Day thread. Little more context. Great interview.
yep. was a great interview.

and ryan indirectly harping on the ncaa’s inability to enforce rules. he mentioned it a half dozen times, without mentioning the ncaa but clearly he’s pissed that nobody is enforcing rules “in general”.

maybe watching the stallions drama drag into its third year with no punishment or penalties or justice is really starting to grate on him and now he has a soapbox that comes with being only one of three active national championship coaches.

tOSU at Illinois, Sun 2/2, 1 pm ET on CBS

So I am pretty much bad mojo for these guys on TV. My fault and I will stick to radio. Should be fine
It is me too, watched this one with my dad and realized every time I watch we seem to lose. But we played pretty well until that final run by Illinois...tough to win there on the road and Illinois is damn good this year. I think there is plenty to build on to make a nice run in the upcoming schedule and start building the resume back up.

Ohio State at Penn St., Jan. 30, 630pm, FS1

Have to say, was impressed with the rebounding stats. Also with the fact that all three of tOSU's bigs had 4 or more fouls. Shows me that they were under the hoop and working hard. Fouls happen, and at PSU, saw our share of ticky-tack fouls. But the point is that they all played hard. Thought Diebs would let Bradshaw play through his fourth, and when the fifth comes, reload with the Croatian frosh. Also like that when they 'go small', there's two long forwards to cover the rim. Don't believe that this team has defined roles yet (as I can see), but enough savvy on the floor that they fill in for teammate 'misses'. Also, seems like there are enough bigs that a rotation can be established. Saw the freshman big stand tall during the closing minutes, a block/rebound, and then again a rebound and put back. Cannot count on our backcourt lighting it up as they did at PSU, all the time. PS, Bradshaw needs a bit more meat on his bones to handle the B10 pounding.

Ohio State AD's $38M Deficit

Nothing to get worked up about from what I read at first glance.

38MM is not a lot of money vs a budget of 300 and it’s a known, one off thing (6 home games) year.

What are you going to do, cut spending on the cash cow when you know another positive revenue fiscal year is under way?

This is a timing issue. Nothing more.
Not worried about it either. Plus aside from only 6 home games, most games at home aside from The Game were not exactly banner matchups that drive in revenue.

Regardless, we got a Natty and Bjork is off to a good start there. I also think he is doing a good job with other programs so far, or at least the ones I follow. If there is an actual issue with the budget, it is Ohio State and you can be damn sure it will be corrected.

TE Patrick Gurd (National Champion, transfer to Cincinnati)

Walked on. Worked himself onto the field in 13 games this year. Became a national champion. I have a tremendous respect for the persistence and attitude behind that kind of achievement. Now, I hope he gets a chance to start a Masters degree and hold down a starting position.

Well done, Patrick!
