I don't want to dismiss IU, but the only argument I keep hearing for them over OSU is that they beat Illinois by 50pts and OSU didn't. And then some people are saying that they beat Oregon in Eugene, and OSU didn't(not realizing that that was last year with a different team).
IU played 3 of the worst teams in CFB to start(I'd say that Ohio would dominate all 3 of those teams), they beat Iowa who just learned to use the forward pass, and a yearly mid MSU team. It's safe to say that they won't face a team this year with the firepower of OSU, and with a defense as dominant as OSU's

Badgers AD supports Luke Fickell, to increase program's finances​

Wisconsin is set to increase its financial commitment to the football program amid a disappointing season but will push ahead with embattled coach Luke Fickell, athletic director Chris McIntosh wrote Monday in a letter to Badgers fans.

McIntosh acknowledged the Badgers' season has "fallen well short of our standards" under Fickell, the third-year coach who is 15-18 at the school and 2-5 this season. Wisconsin has endured consecutive home shutout losses to Iowa and Ohio State, the team's first home shutouts since 1980.

Fans have chanted for Fickell to be fired, but he will continue to stay on the job, at least for now. The Badgers visit No. 6 Oregon this week.

"Coach Fickell sees the potential in what this team can be, as do I, and he shares the same disappointment and frustration," McIntosh wrote. "Our student-athletes continue to stand and fight with character and pride as they battle through this moment of adversity, and they deserve all of our support."

Wisconsin's financial commitment has been questioned during the team's struggles under Fickell, and McIntosh wrote that investments will increase, especially with athlete recruiting and retention.

"In this new era of collegiate athletics, the clear reality is that high expectations must be matched with an equal level of support," McIntosh wrote. "The results of this elevated support may not be immediate, but we are confident the direction will be positive and long-term."

Amazing throw and catch. Sayin has a fast ball.

Heartily agree with Kyle. When you outlive both the father AND son, you have lived a long life. But, beats the alternative.

Right now you're one of the best. Come to tOSU, and we'll make you better. (Paraphrasing)

Bell saw playing time on offense for the second time this season as the true freshman from California got in for six snaps in the fourth quarter.

Weird rule, and I'm astounded that the OSU special teams haven't found a way to violate it yet.

Mark Matthews names Ohio State as a top 3 school standing out along with Miami and Florida State. I am not sure if or when he is visiting, but I am going to assume he is staying in state unless we hear otherwise.

Top200 Edge Abraham Sesay (PA) confirms he will visit for the UCLA game on 11/15. Long thought to be a heavy PSU lean, but obviously things have changed quite a bit there recently.

Started trending to Ohio State even before Franklin was fired. Penn State’s 247 insider said he’s been waiting on that Ohio State offer which is why he never crystal balled him to Penn State.

AP Top 25 poll: Vanderbilt surges into top 10 for first time since 1947 in Week 9 college football rankings​

Just sayin': The still play #15 Missouri, at #22 Texas, Auburn, Kentucky, and at #17 Tennessee. It will be interesting to see how long they can stay in the Top 10.

Everyone hating on Vandy. I long to see them in the sec title game. They have a good shot to win each of those games. It’s more on can Bama and captain jizz jars lose enough for them to sneak in.

The Cavs have lost 3 games for the first time in a long time. New Bremen defeated them 16-7. So, losses to Clinton-Massie, Anna and New Bremen. Coldwater did have a dominant win over Versailles (who just took Marion Local to the wire, and probably got screwed) 44-14

Lakers' Hayes pursuing passport to play for Slovenia with Doncic​

Jaxson Hayes enjoys playing with Luka Doncic so much on the Los Angeles Lakers that the 7-footer is trying to spend his summers playing for the Slovenian national team with Doncic, too.

Hayes said Sunday that his and Doncic's agent, Bill Duffy of WME Sports, broached the idea with Hayes about playing for Slovenia even before Doncic was traded to Los Angeles last winter.

The 25-year-old center, who was born in Norman, Oklahoma, said the Slovenian national team allows one naturalized citizen on its roster for international competitions, and Hayes is pursuing a Slovenian passport to occupy that spot.

Part of Hayes' motivation was fueled by USA Basketball's selection process for its men's national team.

"USA doesn't do open tryouts," Hayes said. "And I feel like there are guys they invite to the USA [training camp] that shouldn't be there. So, I wanted to just play on that stage ... I'm going to do whatever it takes to play on that stage."

I took it more like they did something stupid that prevented a win....not that they got screwed.

What was the stupid thing? I know Allar threw an interception in Notre Dame's field goal range to end the game. But what's to say he gets down the field in time to get a field goal for Penn State?
Or, more likely, the game goes into overtime. Who's to say that they win in overtime?

Jaxbuck said:

If an opponent wants to stop us running the ball, they can. That is concerning.

Let a team get lucky and play us in bad weather where we can't make them pay by passing and we could easily get beat.

Good news is in the playoff era, 1 game isn't a season wrecker and the playoff games will not involve bad weather.

Also have concerns needing a FG to win or to bury someone deep with a punt.

Former Ohio State football player sentenced in drug trafficking case​

The former Ohio State football player will now spend some serious time in prison.

Former Ohio State football player Demario McCall sentenced to 7-10 years in prison​

Earlier this month, McCall was sentenced to 7-10 years in prison after pleading guilty to drug possession and drug trafficking charges. He pleaded guilty to trafficking in cocaine, possession of cocaine, trafficking in a fentanyl-related compound, possession of a fentanyl-related compound, trafficking in drugs, possession of drugs, receiving stolen property, and possession of criminal tools.

In a separate case, he also pleaded guilty to trafficking in cocaine, possession of cocaine, trafficking in a fentanyl-related compound, and possession of a fentanyl-related compound. It's a very sad fall from grace for a former Buckeye football player who played for a national championship.

Unfortunately for McCall, he will now spend a lot of time thinking about what he's done. He never had a shot to make the NFL, and he wasn't able to move on. There's hope that he can atone for what he's done when he is released from prison, as everyone deserves a second chance.
