Hey, don't forget basketball players! The courage and stick-to-itnivess when facing a run by other team, and the grit and determination to climb back out of that hole to retake the lead, probably more than once a game, is also a trait one wants in a teammate, or work candidate.

Also heard it said (by my ex-wrestler Supt), that it's the hardest six minutes in sport. After watching some of the Buckeye matmen go at it, cannot not help but agree. Also said that wrestlers make very good linemen, as wrestlers learn much about leverage, weight shifts, etc.

Sound like Captain Obvious (even to me), so this weight thing seems to be constant throughout the season. Gotta be tough. Except for the HWT division, these competitors do look like 'slim, trim, fighting machines', with zero excess body fat. I'd probably want to be HWT, and look like a sumo...

Have toured the indoor practice area at tOSU S&G, and it's pretty awesome. Wonder how many of the Buckeye linksters use Top Golf, out by Ikea, during the winter months. Anyway, yeah, see the youth on the team, plus the marvelous scores they post, and the depth they possess. The future looks...

Noted the offer from UK, but surprisingly, didn't see one from Louisville. Which, I believe I saw, is his hometown. Maybe he doesn't have the hops to be a UL basketball player? (noted tongue in cheek).

Dub, do you know how many barrels of oil are sitting in the strategic reserve? Know Biden took down somewhat, when he stopped shale drilling, but thought Trump refilled. Anyway, above is correct, Big Oil would send a tanker abroad at +$2.00 or $20 more than they could get domestically...

Believe it was Shakespeare that coined the 'great unwashed', but whomever said, means the common person. And while I bathe semi-regularly, do consider myself a common person. Joe Sixpack just doesn't resonate as much. Anyway, if you follow the market, Big Oil is doing well during these times...

Wonder how much of that settlement was paid for by an insurance policy, and how much from the coffers of the university.

SC, being a private university, is a costly proposition. Yeah, know that they give full ride scholarships, but it's still a monied school. Ergo, my bet is that most of these women come from wealthier families, probably members of country clubs, and have had extensive training/teaching there...

Interesting story. Kinda wonder if the family will 'split the loot' when he chooses his higher learning institution. And of course, family not trying to influence his choice in any way, right? Guess am being Negative Nelly here, but that's what I do. Hope tOSU gets the dirigible down here...

So how come you advertise how good they are on an open mic?

Outstanding! And Moldovan missed by a putt! Great job guys. Someone riddle me this. If Neal finishes, what, top 10? Top 15? Does he get an automatic invite next year? And what if he misses on his money/points, and is relegated back to the minors? Does he still get in the Open? Reminder...

Interesting piece to the thread. What defines a 'bust'? Not living up to expectations? According to the Buckeye fanatics, losing any game, or not winning the national championship by definition is a 'bust'. Agree that when you pay these dudes piles of money to come aboard for...

Seems to be that the SEC is secure in their 'facetime' with ESPN, and if they succeed from NCAA, ballyhoo the SEC championship as the National Championship, it will be all hollow. Different tune if the B10 joins them, however. Might indeed be the national championship. Paid viewership may be...

Agree. The SEC took in Texas and Oklahoma, and are chagrined that they're (well, Texas maybe) tearing it up. Kinda puts a kink in the SEC uberall approach. B10 took in Nebraska, and they're struggling to stay mid-league, and Penn St, while was an independent, is struggling to stay in upper...
