As someone who follows this closely, keep an eye on Brandon Finney and Dorian Brew. Nobody is reporting this, but just a feeling I get.
Finney is basically out of Oregon's class at this point, and Brew’s history with Ohio State is well documented.

In the worst case scenario if Oregon does flip Na’eem Offord, I would expect the always aggressive Tim Walton to flip one of their CBs back.

Oregon Officially Clinches Big Ten Championship Game Berth, Making Ohio State vs. Indiana A Battle For Second Spot

150800_h.jpg


One half of this year’s Big Ten Championship Game is set.

The Big Ten announced Tuesday that Oregon had officially clinched one spot in the Big Ten Championship Game following “a comprehensive evaluation of all possible scenarios over the final two weeks of regular-season play” that determined Oregon would earn a championship game berth in any possible tiebreaking scenario even if it loses its regular-season finale against Washington.

That leaves one spot up for grabs in what will effectively serve as a Big Ten championship play-in game this weekend when Ohio State hosts Indiana at Ohio Stadium.

If the winner of Saturday’s game between the Buckeyes and Hoosiers also wins its regular-season finale next week, there won‘t be any need for complicated math.

Ohio State will make the Big Ten Championship Game with an 11-1 record if it beats Indiana and Michigan as it would hold a head-to-head tiebreaker over Indiana and Penn State, the other two teams in the conference that could finish with one loss.

Indiana will make the Big Ten Championship Game if it beats Ohio State and Purdue as it would be one of a maximum of two Big Ten teams (along with Oregon, who is 11-0 with just one more regular-season game to play) who could finish the season undefeated.

  • Jerome Baker and Isaiah Prince both made their debuts with the Tennessee Titans in Week 11. Baker recorded eight tackles while Prince played 29 snaps at right tackle – replacing fellow former Ohio State offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere, who started the game but was benched midgame – in the Titans’ 23-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

#21 Ohio State @ #23 Texas A&M, Nov. 15 @ 9pm ET, SEC Network

In my experience, many fouls are caused by reaching, which translates to slow feet. Moving the feet to get between the basket and player with the ball is key. A&M players were moving their feet, and disrupting both the passing lanes and the players trying to dribble around them. They also placed themselves in the passing lanes, which hindered the Buckeyes. Nothing special here, but A&M's D started at teh 3 point line, and forced the Buckeyes to launch from waaay out. Consequently missing most shots. Best plays saw were the drive, forcing a 2 on 1 game, with an assist for a basket or dunk. Unfortunately, the Buckeyes didn't have enough of those to make a difference. Our bigs have an unfortunate tendency to foul, as we've seen, and that allows the opposition to drive right at 'em, and force them to give way for an easy lay-up, or contest, which usually leads to another foul. All a learning curve for the Buckeyes, to be dealt with in practice. Also, the Buckeyes might work on boxing out (duh), as A&Ms offensive rebounding gave them second and third shots. Plus tOSU's star 3 point shooter was a tad off, and no one jumped in to take over.

A $1 billion proposal is the latest plan to refurbish and save the iconic Houston Astrodome

Houston Astrodome's Future

In this artist rendering provided by the Astrodome Conservancy, shows some of the proposed mixed use spaces, supplied by Gensler Architects, for renovations of the now dormant Astrodome unveiled during a press conference put on by the Astrodome Conservancy held at The Ion Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024, in Houston.

The Houston Astrodome has been in limbo, waiting for its chance at a second life since being shuttered more than 15 years ago.

It was a technological marvel when it opened in 1965. But its heyday has long passed and it hasn’t been home to a sports team since the Astros left in 1999 and it was closed to all events a decade later.

Over the years, ideas for its redevelopment and rebirth have been plentiful, everything from turning it into an indoor water park to flooding its sunken floor in order to reenact naval battle scenes. But none of these plans garnered enough public support or financing.

The latest proposal to refurbish the Astrodome was unveiled on Wednesday by a nonprofit focused on saving the beloved domed stadium. The group, the Astrodome Conservancy, proposes redeveloping the inside of the structure to create new areas for restaurants, retail, office and cultural spaces. But like the others before it, this plan could face a similar fate, with a $1 billion price tag and an initial lack of support from local entities that would need to give their OK for the project to go forward.

Beth Wiedower Jackson, the conservancy’s executive director, said that unlike previous proposals, her organization believes theirs is backed by data and would be economically viable in part because there would be enough private investment to support it.

“This is a big, big, bold vision. And those previous plans, even admitted by Harris County officials, were a first step towards a future Astrodome. And this is the full swing of the bat. And this gives people something to be excited about,” Jackson said.

The plan, Vision: Astrodome, proposes the construction of four state-of-the-art buildings inside the stadium that would offer spaces for restaurants, stores and offices. Similar spaces for shopping and eating would also be located around the Astrodome and connected to other facilities around the stadium. The Astrodome is at NRG Park, a 350-acre complex that includes NRG Stadium, located right next to the Astrodome and home to the NFL's Houston Texans, as well as an arena and exhibition halls.

“The Astrodome is ready now for its next chapter, redevelopment," said Phoebe Tudor, the conservancy’s chairman. "It is time for all of us in Houston to come together and do something hard, working together to repurpose the Astrodome.”
