Buckeyes offered last year. Teammate of Ohio State WR Gee Scott Jr. JT will be tough to pull from Washington, but one worth watching.

FUCK BUCKY!

It's the Year of Our Lord Twenty Twenty....

And Michigan still sucks!

For those who wish to discuss and/or watch this year's Championship Game.

Considering the choices, Geaux Tigers!

Really want to forget that Clemson game and jump right into the 2020 team.

Reasons for concern:

1.) Defensive Backs: Losing Fuller and Arnette to graduation. Okudah is surely gone and Wade is likely gone. Those are four studs that are missing. No way that isn't felt next year. Not to mention who is going to coach them?

2.) Defensive Line: Yes we have depth here but no way that losing Young, Hamilton, Cornell, and Landers isn't felt. Hamilton came on really strong this year. Good news is that we return Cooper, Togiai, Friday, Smith and Harrison. We also have Larry Johnson.

3.) Linebackers: Losing Harrison sucks. Borland has been the weak spot in the D all year and he returns. Werner seemed to have gotten better as the year went on but I don't think he's necessarily going to be a star. Browning will have to step up big.

4.) Running Back: A distant fourth concern but no way losing Dobbins will not hurt this team a little bit. The Clemson game illustrated the difference between Teague and Dobbins. Although with a good offseason Teague could easily be the best back in the B1G next year.

Reasons to be optimistic:

1.) Fields returns enough said.

2.) Offensive Line: Returning three starters including a First Team All American is huge. Should be a strength for this team.

3.) Wide receivers: It will hurt losing Hill, Victor, and Mack for sure. This was a very deep group. But returning Olave plus Wilson looks like an absolute star. I expect Jameson Williams to have a big breakout year next season. Plus Julian Fleming.

4.) Ryan Day

5.) Kicking Game: Chrisman slipped a little this year but returning him and Haubeil makes for a pretty strong kicking game.

Hey all,

We booked an Airbnb about 3 weeks ago. Our host was an OSU grad who was going let us cancel if we lost Sat. But, then...Bam! Out of nowhere our place got cancelled. Without going into too much detail, Airbnb is bullshit and so is their customer service. We have a stellar track record, reviews & booked several times. I mean, there was that one time we had a massive nude-only party with pets and drugs but I thought that was to be expected...no?

We (sort of) got it ironed out but now there's very few options-- most are a gagillion dollars and we're slightly weary of Airbnb. A host on VRBO said he thinks a massive amount of ppl will be flocking to book/cancel Sat afternoon & evening. Yay...sounds grrreeaaat.

In any case, we've been going over our options and thought I'd reach out to see if anyone is planning on booking in this flurry. Or, have thought about a possible share.

One other thing I wanted to throw out there... if you decide you don't want to go and have a place less than $150/night, we'd be interested in transferring it.

BTW... this is only if we win. Fuck it (and Clemson) otherwise.

My family has a treasured tradition we observe every year. Either on Christmas Day or the day after, like this year, we leave the house for a brief time. Our Labrador retriever then finds and eats the expensive Anthony Thomas Chocolate we buy for each other. 4 years in a row. Now, you may be asking "But JC, isn't chocolate really bad for dogs?". To that I would say "you would think". Doesn't seem to effect her much. Then you might ask "But JC, if it happens every year, why the fuck don't you make sure it is put out of her reach?". To that I would also say "you would think"

This year she was alone for 15 GODDAMNED MINUTES and went straight for my chocolate covered cherries. She is exhibiting no ill affects (per my wife). Well, until I get home.

I’d like to wish my BP family a very Merry Christmas.

Hope all of you have a truly wonderful and blessed day.

Some people here know that when I first got out of the army in 1993 I intended to go to Ohio State. I was accepted and was ready to start the the following fall when my father was diagnosed with lymphoma. I decided to stay closer to home to help support the family. I wound up going to Kent State instead figuring I’d transfer after my dad recovered. He never did and I wound up completing my bachelors degree at Kent. I genuinely love my school. In my humble opinion it’s a model regional university that reaches out to a population that don’t have the option to attend a top school like Ohio State. It’s notable alumni include
- Arsenio Hall who rose to fame as the unfunny sidekick to Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence.
- May 2001 playmate Crista Nicole
- failed Miami Dolphins coach Nick Sabin
- high school football standout Jack Lambert
- April 1989 playmate Jennifer Jackson
- Elmer Fudd impersonator Lou Holtz

Fun fact about the Frisco bowl, it’s played in frisco, Texas. I assumed it was in San Francisco.

GO BUCKS!

One of the things that I've noticed and really like about the 2019 Buckeyes Men's Hoops team is that the bench has been super into all of the games (much like the football team this year) and has added energy and juice when good plays are being made. For example:

Kentucky vs. Ohio State: Preview, viewing info and score projection
Everything you need to know for Saturday’s matchup.



The Kentucky Wildcats lost their second game of the season on Wednesday to the struggling Utah Utes. Many fans in Big Blue Nation are panicking, as they do nearly every December. But don’t we always look back and realize that was silly when March rolls around?

Ashton Hagans has been Kentucky’s most consistent player, followed by Immanuel Quickley. Nick Richards is in the middle of a rough stretch after starting the season out looking like a great NBA prospect. And none of the young guys has seemed to show up on a consistent basis.

Perhaps the biggest concern for the Wildcats is outside shooting. As a team, they are hitting just 27.5% from behind the three point line. And there is not a single player on the roster shooting better than 33.3%. Shooting has rarely, if ever, been the strength of Calipari teams. But this season, it seems to be possibly their biggest weakness.

Ohio State is having a great season so far, aside from their loss to a less than impressive Texas Tech team. They have wins over Cincinnati, Villanova, and North Carolina, and they were in line to be the No. 1 team in the land before they fell to Minnesota.

The Buckeyes are led in points, rebounds, and blocks by 6-9 forward Kaleb Wesson. And, unlike Kentucky, they are a very good shooting team from deep. As a group, they have hit 41.6% of their three-pointers on the season. They have five (!) players shooting 41% or better.

This is a huge matchup for Kentucky. If they are able to pull out a win, the doubters will be forced to take a step back and re-assess their “Kentucky is done” takes. But if the Wildcats fall for the second game in a row, people in blue t-shirts across the country are going to start hitting the panic button.

Game Time: 5:15 pm EST

Location: T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

TV Channel: Saturday’s game will be broadcast on CBS.

Radio: Tom Leach and Mike Pratt will have the UK radio network call on 630 AM, 98.1 FM in Lexington, and on the UK Sports Network.

Online radio: TuneIn broadcast or UKAthletics.com.

Online Stream: The game can be streamed online using CBS Sports

Odds: ESPN BPI gives Ohio State a 68.6% chance of victory. KenPom gives the Buckeyes a 67% chance of winning in Vegas.

Let's go bucks!

It amuses me that a lot of you seem to be assuming Ohio State coaches chose to sit an immense talent on their bench that would have made the defense better. That over dozens of other explanations involving him not performing that well in practice or in the classroom for personal reasons or otherwise; you know, the exact thing that kept him from contributing all of last year up until literally the very last game of the season.

Throw in that the defense has been above average to great all year... and when they weren’t great they made half time adjustments and were great again.

What the hell are you all going on about, seriously?

I wanted Joe to play over JT three years ago. I was roasted here for it. Probably will get roasted again, but he was better than JT.

U.S. sucking ass again in this type of event. You have to think these guys just don’t care about the Ryder and the Presidents Cup.

My grandsons are getting a Switch for Christmas. Several of their aunts/uncles have the Switch also. Can anyone suggest games that would work well for playing online among the group? Grandsons are 7 & 9.
