Welcome to the Buckeye Family, Ethan!

Onianwa visited Columbus on Dec. 15 and also was interested in Iowa, Texas A&M, Florida State and Oklahoma. The 6-foot-6, 345-pound offensive tackle has been a three-year starter for Rice, primarily playing right tackle for the Owls. He'll have one season of eligibility remaining.

Per Pro Football Focus’ grades, Onianwa earned an overall grade of 74.6 and a pass-blocking grade of 79.3 in 2024. He only allowed one sack on 350 pass-blocking snaps last season. Per 247Sports' transfer rankings, Ethan Onianwa is considered the No. 13 offensive tackle on the transfer market. He was a three-star prospect as a recruit in the 2021 recruiting class.

game 4 of cfp round 1

Well, the rematch is coming, it just won‘t be in Indy like most of us thought.

game 3

Dang. If you guys keep letting me create these basketball threads, we're bound to screw a lot up at some point.

game 2

first game of cfp

I live overseas and will need to catch up on games 1-2 days after they happened (realize it's been only one game so far).
Anyone have any CFP torrent for Indiana Notre Dame?

https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio...-tackle-phillip-daniels-commits-to-ohio-state

BOOM!

Even though we are bummed about the last few games, we are only 1/3 of the way through and I'm not ready to throw in the towel.

Get back on track. Be strong with the ball and don't let anyone push you around. Defense travels so become the best defensive team in the country and be in every game from now on. Let's GO BUCKS!!

I know the B1G has a lot of cool ones for many annual, or semi-annual, games. The SEC has a few as well.

Bowls seem to increasingly become a relic with expanded CFP, but thank goodness for the excellence known as the Pop-Tart Bowl

It's not exactly a playoff game and there are no Week 16 games thread so I figured we could discuss here. I know there are a lot of vets on this site so it should be fun.

Army has had a much better year and are favored by a touchdown, Army -7, O/U 39.5. The Under has gone 17-1 in the last 18 meetings, just fyi.

Go MILITARY! (I was a member of both forces so I just want a good game.)

Just wondering if a stray lurker may have found his way here.

If so, introduce yourself, we are good people.

Ohio State vs Auburn: 2024-25 College basketball game preview, TV schedule​

By Joey Loose | Dec 11, 2024​

Ohio State meets Auburn in Atlanta as part of the Holiday Hoopsgiving; will the Tigers keep rolling this season or do the Buckeyes get back on track with a marquee victory?​

TV schedule: Saturday, December 14, 1:00 pm ET. ESPN2
Arena: State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia
Trying to ride the high of last season’s ending, Ohio State (6-3) showed promise in a season-opening victory over Texas but recent weeks have been less prosperous. Jake Diebler’s first full season in command has had its share of challenges, including a recent overtime loss to Pittsburgh and tough showing in road losses against Maryland and Texas A&M. Regardless, this trip to Atlanta brings major opportunity.
Much like last season, the Buckeyes lean heavily on junior guard Bruce Thornton (16.2 ppg, 5.7 apg), a great shooter and the key cog in running this offense. After coming off the bench last year, Devin Royal (14.1 ppg, 7.4 rpg) has taken a nice step forward as a sophomore, carving out a major role in this frontcourt. A few of the newer pieces in the lineup are still adjusting, though freshman John Mobley (12.9 ppg) is satisfying early expectations, shooting 56% from outside the arc.
The Buckeyes have been unranked as a result of their recent defeats, though they sit 29th in KenPom and were 23rd in the most recent NET rankings. This program is still figuring things out for this season, especially with their new faces in the frontcourt not exactly standing out. The offense was putrid just over a week ago against the Terrapins, though the shooting for the most part has been solid this season. In this matchup, Ohio State clearly needs to put together a complete game, much like against Texas in early November.
Things are far clearer at Auburn (8-1), as these Tigers just might be one of the elite teams in the nation this season. This program has already stockpiled impressive wins including Houston, Iowa State, and North Carolina and their lone loss came last week at Duke, a tough place for anyone to win. Much like with the Buckeyes, the Tigers see the opportunity in Atlanta and won’t show up flat.
The leading story with Auburn is clearly Johni Broome (19.6 ppg, 11.9 rpg), the fifth-year senior forward who just might be the best frontcourt player in the entire country. He’s been impressive throughout the Tigers’ awesome opening month. Chad Baker-Mazara (13.1 ppg, 3.3 rpg) is another name to watch, as he’s developed into quite the leader and scorer for Auburn in his second year in town. This senior-laden lineup does have some young talent, as freshman Tahaad Pettiford (11.3 ppg, 2.8 apg) has been playing some inspired ball in recent weeks.
Last week’s loss in Durham only dro

A bit of unique scenario with tickets potentially going to public sale and Tennessee fans looking to fill the shoe.

If any STM would be willing to purchase an extra 1-4 tickets during tomorrow’s presale window and make sure they are sold to screaming buckeye fans, I would be eternally grateful. Or if there is a generic presale code to share, that would be great.

I will be trying to get tickets on Thursday if there are any left for the general public sale, but I’m not very confident that will be successful.

Thank you and go bucks!

Pick 6 Underdogs that you think will win their games outright. If they cover the spread but lose the game, you get no points for that selection. The point spreads in this post are locked for purposes of this contest.

Picks are due before the kickoff of the Indiana-Notre Dame game at 8 pm Eastern on Friday, December 20th. There are games starting before that, but obviously you can't pick a game once it's kicked off.

Pick 6 underdogs to win outright. For each game that you pick correctly, you receive the number of points for the pointspread in that game. The person with the most total points will win this game, and $25,000 SportsBook "vCash".

In the event of a tie, I'll contact the winners and have them pick the total points in the National Championship Game.
