Well, the Texas teams at this level will always get a good/great DC. Not unlike the Buckeyes. And the Texas oil money is flowing as well. Texas crude #2 is what, 75-90 dollars a barrel, so there's plenty to spend on athlete beef. And unlike many donors, this oil money flows in each and every day. So appears to be an endless supply of NIL money. And might imagine that the Texas recruits might get offered plum work jobs for parents etc. Just an educated guess..;;

I wonder how much of that money keeps flowing if titles aren't won in Austin in the next few years

As I’ve grown older, I’ve found during interactions with folks especially younger ones asking “How are you” or “are you ok, you seem off” is a small gesture, that can mean a lot. You might not get an honest answer but it might help spur something positive.

I think its something many of us who are a little older(45+) are starting to realize and pivot towards when it comes to our younger counterparts. We were always told to suck it up and deal with whatever. Not sure thats the best method long term, and especially for the younger generation

Not sure how he continues playing football for much longer.

Royal, for me at least, has been having a great season. His overall play, mostly on the inside, has been jaw-dropping. When he tees it up for a 3, that's just a bonus (when they hit net), and watching him sky for a rebound is wonderful. Mobley, is streaky. In a good way, methinks. But most teams put a taller, long armed guy on him, and his %age made goes down. Bynum is young, and starting to play within himself, but believe his future is at the 4, so needs to learn some 'back-to-the-basket' moves, a la a center, to go with his face-up skills. Pretty certain it will come, and he has some good hops. Agree with you on a PG, don't believe Cupps is the answer, but Thornton's don't grow on trees. Go Bucks!

Plus, it’s Notre Dame in general……a lot of scissoring going on already. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Does anyone out there have the 1998 OSU football games Illinois and Indiana that they could seed?

Meant to post this earlier in the week.

This is one to keep a close eye on in the Lone Star State. Ohio State is the only school that lit up his face in the video interview. Patterns his game after Jeremiah Smith. Is an ELITE, likely 5-star talent.

No

Yet it was still believable. I hate this shit

I’m curious how hard we are pushing here for Perez. Not exactly the type of schools that we go up against.

I mean if you think about it, IU is the defending NC, and will be on many lists of top players. And I can see Franklin continuing to try and raid OH for talent since he spent so much time at Ped St. MSU has always been a thorn in OSU's side with lower rated OH kids.

Recently offered TE target Sean Currie will visit OSU on 3/10. He will also take trips to PSU and A&M.
Committed to VA for both football and lacrosse.

Also, Currie was the first recruit that Arthur Smith spoke to over FaceTime after being hired.

Big visit from our top TE target Jaxon Dollar on 4/10.
Him paired with a big TE option like Sean Currie is the scenario for this class.

Former Ohio State Safety Rob Harley Named Interim Head Coach at Northern Illinois​

Former Ohio State safety Rob Harley is now the interim head coach at Northern Illinois.
Northern Illinois promoted Harley to interim head coach on Wednesday after Thomas Hammock, who had been NIU’s head coach since 2019, left the Huskies to be the running backs coach for the Seattle Seahawks.
Harley, who played for the Buckeyes from 2001-05, joined Northern Illinois’ coaching staff as defensive coordinator in 2025. He was previously the defensive coordinator at Arkansas State from 2021-24. Before that, Harley was the linebackers coach at Pittsburgh (2015-20) and FIU (2014). He started his coaching career at Ohio Dominican (2010-11), coaching linebackers and defensive backs under the direction of longtime former Ohio State assistant Bill Conley, before a two-year stint as a graduate assistant at Michigan State (2012-13).
Harley, the great nephew of Ohio State legend Chic Harley, takes over interim head coaching duties at Northern Illinois as the Huskies move from the MAC to the Mountain West for the 2026 season.
Assuming NIU sticks with Harley as its head coach for 2026, he will be one of seven Ohio State alumni leading a FBS program this year.
Harley is the third former Buckeye to become a first-time FBS head coach this offseason, joining Brian Hartline (USF) and Mike Jacobs (Toledo). They join former Ohio State stars Luke Fickell (Wisconsin), Marcus Freeman (Notre Dame) and Eddie George (Bowling Green) as well as former Ohio State student Alex Golesh (Auburn) – who didn’t play for the Buckeyes, but was a student assistant for Jim Tressel in 2004-05 – as Buckeyes who are now FBS head coaches.

Top100 OT Qua Ford schedules OV’s to his top2 schools SMU and Ohio State, who he says are tied “50/50”.
SMU will be on 5/1, and OSU on 6/5.

That sucks.









He should've done it on signing day.

This is as much an indictment of the judicial system as it is college sports
