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.

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.

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.

New thread created. Who cares?

Thank you!!

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.

This post aged poorly. The Taters are looking like they might not even be bowl eligible now.

first play is a wr screen to the short side...

Four-star RB includes Ohio State among top five schools​

The Buckeyes continue to see positive momentum in the 2025 class.
By Gene Ross@Gene_Ross23 Oct 30, 2023, 5:01am EDT


Ohio State is a perfect 8-0 as we reach the two-thirds mark of the 2023 college football season. The Buckeyes’ coaching staff is focused on maintaining that zero in the loss column through the end of the year, but they also have to keep up the efforts on the recruiting trail in order to keep up the high standards set in Columbus.
While Ryan Day and company were out earning a win on the field on Saturday with a 24-10 victory over Wisconsin, they also inched closer to earning a win off the field this weekend when 2025 four-star running back Donovan Johnson included the Buckeyes among his top five schools.

With nearly 30 offers to his name, cutting the list down to just five is no easy task, but shows that Johnson is really moving along in the recruiting process and has a handful of schools that have really stood out above the rest to this point. Ohio State was one of those programs, joining the likes of Georgia, Florida State, Tennessee and USC. Johnson spoke to On3 about his final five schools and why each of them made the cut. Here is what he had to say about the Buckeyes:
“I have a lot of love for Coach Tony Alford. He is my dog. We talk all the time and I love what he has done over the last decade with the running backs he has coached. We have that great relationship and I working to get there for a game this season.”
Johnson is currently rated as the No. 9 running back in the country and the No. 113 player overall in the 2025 class, per the 247Sports Composite. Originally a native of Savannah, GA, Johnson transferred to prep powerhouse IMG Academy in Florida ahead of his sophomore season. The 6-foot, 205-pound RB received his official Ohio State offer all the way back in May of 2022, and attended a camp in Columbus later that June.

Also a track athlete, Johnson qualified for the AAU Junior Olympics and has been clocked running a 22.47 in the 200 and a 51.58 400 as a freshman in spring of 2022. The talented ballcarrier made his varsity team as a freshman, totaling 1,336 yards and 10 touchdowns while averaging 8.1 yards per carry — good enough to earn him a spot in the FBU Freshman All-American Bowl. Ohio State has had some prior success recruiting IMG players, most recently landing wide receiver Carnell Tate in the 2023 class.
While there is no timetable set for a decision just yet, and it sounds like Johnson will want to take his official visits before making his pledge, he has not ruled out a commitment coming prior to the spring.
“Anything could happen at any time,” Johnson told On3. “I am searching for that family atmosphere. It is about my bond with the staff, how I feel around the head coach and running back and what culture fits me best. The academics will be important too. I want to major in engineering, so the overall development on and off the field will help me make my decision.”
As a native of Georgia, the Bulldogs would probably be considered the slight favorite as of right now, but with no Crystal Ball predictions logged and Ohio State making Johnson’s top five schools, you certainly can’t count out the Buckeyes in this recruitment.

We didn’t really “want him” he was a plan B. Happy for him to get at a great school like Oklahoma
