Remember (Roger Bannister?) breaking the 'impossible to break' 4 minute mile. Every channel (only 3 in those days) carried it. Most pundits said it was a record gonna last forever, as no human could go that fast. Just shows to go ya.

Amazing! Vlad is still at the top of competitive wrestling at 35? What does this guy eat for breakfast?

She was a great college player. But wonder that she's now on her third (or fourth?) WNBA team, was doing very well for Chicago, but when tuned in, she was on the pine, not getting many minutes. Not certain if injured, or just got beat out. Anyone got better info?

Remember watching ESPN like a religion. Then when the B10 rebuffed their peanuts offer for TV, and we started our own channel, they went full SEC, trying to down B10. More to the point, (just wanted to throw that out there), watched announcers/color folk come in, do some good things, and then...

Oil aside, LA is best (only?) fishing waters for redfish (or so have been told). thats enough to buy a WR or so.

Will you start the drum roll please? Hope the drummer doesn't get tired waiting for the curtain to drop. Sounds like a 6 month anticipation, and a 15 second culmination. Either way it goes, the Good Ship Buckeye will sail on and on.

Am certainly old enough to remember that of which you speak. Also recollect that the catholic schools in Cincy had a pipeline to ND. 'Don't bother recruiting them, they're going to ND'. Never did understand, unless Cincinnati was jealous that Columbus, (by all accounts less cosmopolitan than...

Has anyone else noticed that Cincinnati schools are producing more, and better recruits than Cleveland (and nearby environs), and certainly more than Columbus? And drilling a bit deeper, more recruits from Watterson than the entirety of the Columbus Public Schools? (Could add DeSales in there...

WOW! How can one compare two DL's, when one produced on the field, and played such an important part in winning a National Championship, versus one that has a shit-ton of promise, but hasn't seen one down on a collegiate football game? Maybe the point I missed, but just tapping the breaks a...

Agree with the above. I'll opine that tOSU doesn't win in 2024 with only Trevion at RB, and NEEDED Quinshon as well. Two NFL future players at RB. Getting the tough yards etc. Maybe DGG is the 'missing' piece of the puzzle. Hard telling until you're in the middle of it. Also agree that...

Doubt if he'll get much more than a preferred walk-on at tOSU. And a list of 'don'ts' a mile long, where breaking will mean automatic exit. You gotta feel sorry for him, kinda reminds me of Maurice Clarett after his outstanding freshman year.

Joey Freshwater strikes again! And what do you think he should have said? That LSU would win the Nati in four years when he gets his recruits under his control? Not certain that would have flown down there. So of course he's gotta say year 1 for Nati! So basically means he's got one year to...

Looked it up in my encyclopedia. Under 'why not pay outrageous NIL to untested recruit'. Guess who's picture was in the discussion?

Was going to say that the NCAA/UX let the cheating slide, and fired their AD because a coach was boinking an intern/female co-worker. Sounds a bit bas-akwards to me. But who's judging? And letting him stay around for another 5 or so months seems a bit ridiculous. Maybe put him out to pasture...

Was going to ask about Odyssey. Read that and the Iliad many times as a kid. Almost afraid to see how the film producers butchered the book, but then remembered that this is at least the third Odyssey movie made. Dune 3, really liked the first two new Dune pictures, and they played well...
