Love this Battle kid, great offense and effort. Middleton is going to be a stud and we knew what we had with Thornton. Royal showed some good stuff. Gayle might be our best player. Key is adjusting to his new body, hope he didn't lose too much weight tbh. Overall result is around expectations right now but I liked a lot of the individual performances.

Not as memorable as “I’m a man” but possibly more important to remember as a fan during this period of college football

So Hoke’s setting it up for scUM to call him out of retirement after Jimma leaves!

• 2026 linebacker Cam Thomas: “I feel like the Buckeyes were locked in and definitely wanted to show that they were the number one team in the country currently. They came out focused and made quick work of Michigan State. On my visit, I was able to catch up with coach Hartline, coach Knowles, coach Johnson, coach Laurinaitis and coach McGrath. They all asked about our current playoff run and how I felt about it. They seemed happy that I was back on campus for another visit. It was my first night game in The Shoe. The atmosphere was crazy, especially with the new uniforms. Seeing Marvin Harrison in person and witnessing his Heisman moment was pretty cool as well.”

Penn State has a real decision to make here. Franklin is an excellent recruiter and they put a ton of guys in the league. And IMO Penn State is not a program that should expect to be on Ohio State or tCun level but the problem is they “think” they are. As a result, a lot of programs would love to go 9-3 or 10-2 every year, but it has to be assumed that they will take a real look at letting Franklin go. 10 years now, no CFP appearances, no B1G championships, 1 win against Ohio State, 3 against tCun when they were hot garbage most of the time. Big issues is it will be a huge buyout, somewhere around $60M. Will be interesting to see what happens over next several weeks.

I'm shocked to read UM and OSU being on the same level. Fuck those cheaters.

There's levels to this shit dawg. Buckeyes are first rate... UM hasn't been close since Llllllllloyd left.

We need an onions warning on the top of this thread.

I’m watching the 60 minute version of a Minny-Illini from last week.

Chris Autman-Bell just caught a pass. I think his first reception at Minny was from Tony Dungy.

You magnificent bastard. I had no idea what thread it was in!!

Looking at the box score, Okpara had 3 points, 3 rebounds & 4 blocks in 22 minutes. Key had 8 points (4-5 FG shooting), 7 rebounds in 19 minutes. Key should not be playing less than Okpara.

Happy Holy Buckeye Day!

11W Forums....

There are rumors that #1 RB Taylor Tatum might not play a down of CFB.

Tatum’s baseball career has exploded, he’s probably going to get drafted in the first seven rounds of next year’s MLB draft. Killer center fielder.

Kyler Murray is the last guy who faced this kind of dilemma. He picked football, but Murray also plays a higher paying and less physical position.

Tatum is going to have a very interesting decision to make.

Manning Inc. would never allow that unless it's the last option. Ole Miss if he's handed the job--don't know what their situation is for next year though. Otherwise, it'll be some SEC school that will hand him the job. No way that Manning Inc. allows him to go somewhere that he has to actually step up and win the job against top flight competition. Falling on his face at two schools would damage the brand.

Still a giant douche.

Is this true? I don't recall this at all.

Edit: if you click the Tweet it says Herman said Jackson was too dumb to play QB at Ohio State.

Does anyone have B1G+? I've never tried it but I'm considering it.

Curious to know what people who have it/tried it think.

Not sure if either of you tried it, but I did the last two years for winter sports (primarily wrestling) and it was atrocious. The streaming quality was awful when it actually worked (which was around 50% of the time), the site layout was impossible to follow, and the commentary was almost always bad. For awhile I told myself it was better than not watching at all, but I changed my opinion in short order and will never renew that again even if it is said to be improved.

Which segways into my appearance in this thread to ask those who watched how we looked. I already read the posts and the box score/article on the game, but that isn't always telling. Looks like Zed, Thornton and Roddy took over (as you would hope), and Middleton had a nice debut. Closer final score than I expected to see but I know a lot of factors can impact that, i.e. it sounds like Oakland was on fire shooting the 3. But it is the first game and lots of young guys playing, so I didn't rush to judgment.

Go Bucks on the win and looking forward to watching Friday's game against A&M.

Thanks for the memories Joe. You deserved a winner while you were here and we had some shitty support years. You stuck it out though early on when you could have gone somewhere else after your MVP year. Reds HOF'er easy pick.

He's got a strong case for MLB HOF.

Reds HOF is a certainty

In Qatar, you can legally drink alcohol. They just don't like public intoxication.
In Saudi Arabia, it's straight up illegal.
So... yeah.... Qatar was the high water mark.
