Good stuff, Brody. Unfortunately, today's people, are me, me, me, and now, now, now. That makes the NIL very important. And have to assume that every football player coming out of HS are assured (in their own mind), that they'll be standing on the Draft podium one day. So why not grab the...

Well, it was until Oregon backed up a Brinks truck to his house. Daktorian's e-mail also might have helped. And Oregon will win it's share of games, to be sure, just on their paid talent alone. gotta trust the coach's intuition. J. Smith could be the apex of tOSU's NIL payout amount, but...

Back in my day it was the North Berg, or Andy Capp's during grad school. But brain is a bit fuzzy....

Just another comment. Was surprised to see Tegra play all/most of the game. He's been the weak link on the OL this year, so was surprised. However, he did in fact play his best game. Nary a penalty, and do not believe Sayin was pushed in any way. So, the OL did their job. Also, agree that...

On another note....has anybody been on U-Tube lately? Seems like there are a dozen plus folk (none of which I've seen or heard of), wearing a Buckeye hat, and espousing how great the team is....certainly piling on the bandwagon, and for no apparent reason. Maybe there are legit, and I've had...

And that's why Indiana has the point in 'intangibles'. tOSU will surely be in the playoffs, win or lose, one talking head asked who'd be the four bye teams, and he replied: Big Ten champ, SEC champ, Big 12 champ, and runner-up in Big Ten. But let us not forget that ALL the top four picks lost...

Heck, Chip could take a salary of $1 per year, and the Raiders could pay his whole check....

Any organization built upon one person is doomed to failure. tOSU football team is made up of individuals, some who are great, others that merely carry the water. Recollect at one company, one could not be promoted without having trained one's replacement. That's why there are assistant...

Train them up, give them experience, watch them flourish, and then leave the nest. Lather, rinse, and repeat. Certainly a great loss to the Buckeyes, as Hartline built that WR room up like nobody before. His record of putting a WR or two in the first round of NFL has become legendary. Heck...

Thought it was UCF, not USF. My bad. UCF has larger enrollment than tOSU, by the by. For an inexperienced coach, don't believe he should get credit for being OC at tOSU, Chip did it last year, and this year, am not entirely certain Day doesn't second guess, dictate, with Hartline. Anyway...

Now that is a line-up to die for. Hopefully they live up to their reps. Could be a great year for the singlet guys, and add some very much needed points for the Directors/Sears Cup standings. How's the new wrestling arena?

Just a blast from the past.....grew up watching Luke, Hondo, Nowel, Siegfried at St Johns. They were ten years older than I was, and woulda won three Nati's in a row, except for UCs Paul Hogue and Mel Thacker. Anyway, with few exceptions, tOSU hasn't been in the rarified air of the NCAA's...

Could someone enlighten me on Tilly's time against legitimate competition? Certainly he's excelled against body-bag competition, but how about ND and Pitt? From what I saw, his minutes were reduced, for the Croatian (sorry name escapes me), who appeared to be outplayed. Anyway, believe he's...

Gonna say it once more. Devin at the 3 is a good move. Buckeyes have interchangeable 1 & 2, and some proven bigs 4 & 5, and now Devin at the 3, which can highlight his scoring ability, plus give him zero responsibility in blocking out, so he can knife to the basket for a rebound. I know some...

On the positive side (tired of being a Negative Nellie), agree with the above that tOSU woulda lost this last year. However, the fight in the Buckeyes, even without Mobley, was impressive, and to build a four point lead also very impressive. Someone shoulda slid over and force him from his...
