So the only place still stuck on the antiquated 1 and 1 is men's college hoops, where they still play halves instead of quarters.

You want 2 more chances each game to see the Buckeyes NOT get a ‘2-for-1’?

I was at the '04 Fiesta Bowl, I remember chanting "no means no"

I personally would go with Urban in a heartbeat,A) He despises anything TCUN, he has the competitive edge we’ve missed since he’s been gone. He holds you accountable whether you are a walk on or 5* , anything less than an all out effort is non-negotiable with him B) he holds his assistants to the highest standards which is not happening, he also wasn’t afraid to mix young hot shot coaches with veteran leadership. He expects each position group to be elite at what they do, or not afraid to set the bar high and work tirelessly to achieve itC) I think he had a chance to reflect his time at Jacksonville. He has pride and definitely wants to get his name back in a positive light. You could see a slightly nicer, more engaging Urban but the fire would still be there D) he did not forget how to coach football and his influence still is large, he could call up any top assistant or elite recruit and it would move the needle . And I feel it would be more people contributing to NIL knowing it would for sure go towards a National Championship under his leadership. Just my opinion

Issue one is that Urban would never get past the Board of Trustees, and #2, he's said repeatedly he's done with coaching. And as someone else mentioned. He never had to deal with the transfer portal or NIL. I believe he's been pretty critical of both.

Nashville, gets to punt a ton, no fans bothering him, ends up with his undergrad from OSU and grad from Vandy...and has a cool accent? The man is winning at life. Next you're gonna tell me he has a hot wife too.

M's fans - what are my Braves getting with Kelenic?

Apparently, when he stays healthy, he's a good young player. With 4 years remaining of team control, he has time to grow and develop in Atlanta. Plus he won't be asked to bat 2-3-4...he can bat 7-8th and comfortably develop.

Maybe my outlook is too rosy

not a Braves fan but as you mentioned i think he can be very productive at the bottom of a deep lineup such as Atl's

Just like Alex Grinch the year before, he helped his team’s QB win a Heisman, cause you don’t take a guy out when you’re up 41-34.

Maybe injuries were more significant than we knew... Brown was still gimpy on the right ankle he hurt months ago. Hall was still damaged and got hurt again. Eich, Stover... Henderson? Harrison? JT? Proctor? Egbuka?
Altho... Brown's gimpy ankle should have made Day max amt of time Kienholz or even Gebbia were prepped... or OL drills
So dangerous changing out a new center... even if the old center was barely average... he's still been the one calling assignment changes...

Texas' Steve Sarkisian couldn't dream of CFP after '15 firing​

Steve Sarkisian said Sunday there was a moment in time when he thought he would never make it to the College Football Playoff, reflecting on his journey with Texas during the final coaches news conference before the CFP semifinal against Washington at the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

Sarkisian pointed specifically to the months following his dismissal from USC in 2015 when asked whether there was a point where he felt making it this far in a season would ever be possible.

"Hell, yeah, I did," Sarkisian said. "I was out of work. Couldn't get an interview, never mind a job, never mind thinking about the College Football Playoff. Sure, it did. I think that's what makes part of this journey with this team this year probably so gratifying.

"So I think part of that puts things into perspective in that you appreciate the opportunities that you get. You appreciate the people that you're around every day. And you try to pour into those people. And when you pour into them, sometimes you get results like this, and you get on teams like this, and you get to be part of special seasons like this."

Just sayin': You do have to give Sarkisian credit having his alcohol addiction under control and turning his life around.

Speaking of Syfy it's their annual new year's Twilight Zone marathon. When the football ends tomorrow, I shall indulge.

Go Bucks.

(Note: The table does not include freshman walk-ons who have not yet played.)

Figured this game would be way too close, glad they pulled it out though. This woulda gone down as a bad bad loss at the end of the year If they are on the bubble

Pokes rallied late to win Craig Bohl's retirement game 16-15 over Toledo.

Ohio State Overview
• Jaden is in his fifth season with the program and has two seasons of eligibility
• He is a three-time OSU Scholar-Athlete and a two-time Academic all-Big Ten Conference honoree majoring in human development and family sciences
• Has played in 11 games for the Buckeyes over the past four seasons
• Played in five games in 2022, three games in 2021 and one in 2020
• Also played in two games as a true freshman in 2019 before redshirting
• Recorded five tackles in 2022, including his first career tackle-for-loss (vs. Toledo)

Honors & Awards
2022: OSU Scholar-Athlete; Academic All-Big Ten
2021: OSU Scholar-Athlete; Academic All-Big Ten
2020: OSU Scholar-Athlete

Just sayin': Looks like an outstanding STUDENT-Athlete. He's listed as a 3rd string red shirt Senior at DT behind guys that are (probably) coming back. He came in in 2019, so I believe that he will get a 6th (i.e. COVID) year. I'll say he gave it his best shot over the last 5 years and isn't likely to start for the Buckeyes in 2024 either. Hopefully he can latch on to a school where he will be able to get more playing time and I wish him the best.

GTFOH, if you wanted to go to ORegon because you knew youd see the field easier just say that

Sounds like he had a solid year for Kentucky….he’s flashed a few times today against Clemson.

I’m sure there is in college station. But I’m not too familiar with those parts. I know @Nutriaitch lives somewhere out in Texas so he probably would know about it.

I particularly enjoyed his commentary on the Coach/expert stream of 2014.
And that's it. That's all i have to say about it.
