Was going to do research on MD game, but will simply state that if MD had kept up their 3pt % that they enjoyed in first half, they woulda scored 150 points. Do want to complement the Lady Bucks for keeping their heads down and grinding for the victory. Was also thinking that Elsa needed a...

Given that OL need some seasoning to become effective players, see alot of coaching going down the tubes, as these kids move on. Get that tOSU has a very good class of OL coming in, but doubt whether they're ready to step in day 1. Very few freshmen, and/or sophomores have made the body...

Just getting back....wondering if tOSU's sign-up policy is backfiring on them. Low entry NIL, and gets bigger as one performs...appears that we're losing the back-ups that are expected to move into the two -deep. Also, that this portal entrying may be a ploy to force tOSU into paying them more...

Given the 'apparent' lack of tOSU participation in the OL portal recruitments, are one or all of the above guys good enough/ready enough to compete at the B10 level? Always thought that QB and OL needed time to 'season' and/or learn position. Certainly OL needed time to mold their bodies...

Certainly losing Hartline to USF has hurt tOSU's WR recruiting, given past track record. Always heard/knew LSU also claimed WRU, but didn't know why. Hopefully Cortez is/was that answer, and works his magic here. Anyone know why Lame Kitten let him go from LSU? Idle wondering.

Gotcha BB. Problem with a 3-2, is that if you're overmatched down low, the opponent pulls their guards back, drawing the D with them, and lobbing over our heads to the taller players. With Elsa and Kiki (?) down there now, your idea might have a chance of being implemented. Believe our bigs...

While in C'bus for holidays, went to see several games at the Schott. Two women and one men's games. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, as well as the basketball shows put on. See the Lady Bucks playing well, and down low, they still need that person to provide instant offense off the bench...

Certainly cannot disagree....and add that we're comparing last year's portal acquisitions to the prior year's ones, Quinshon, Howard, Sayin, etc which were 500' home runs. And if the AD's NIL purse strings were closed, didn't get the ability to compete with the A&Ms, TTs, SCs etc. Finally...

Early first round money is what, 20-30 million? And from what recollect, mostly guaranteed? Even taking away 10% for an agent, still leaves a bunch to invest/bank. Hopefully these kids get a NFL lesson on spending, as the NIL Lambo's are staying in state with the college team. After the...

Agree with most of the above - He's proven to get the 'jimmies and the joes', now he has to accomplish the 'Xs and the Os'. But remember, he's got a plethora of assistant coaches on the bench with him, and mayhaps some of this falls on them for non-performance, or mediocre performance. I know...

Agreed. Protect the cash flow, invest to keep that flowing, and look around to see where to invest the excess to gain the largest returns. That's corporate economics 101. Can certainly apply to college sports, but without that certitude of the returns. Hope that the NIL that went to mens...

Truly believe that we saw the 'coming out' of Bynum. Thornton did what he does...and does it cool as a cucumber. Don't see any extra effort, but he's always in the right place. Bynum added a dimension to the offense. A follow-up slammer, is something longed for, but not readily seen from...

Well, these tune-up games are designed for what Bestbuck notes. Work on chemistry, get the offensive/defensive schemes some play, and have a bit of fun. Yeah, league will be a grind, but that's only because the B10 is so very strong on the women's side. FWIW, most of these 'body-bag' games...

Wait, wait! There's been another bid for DGG! It's.....the moon and the stars! Sold to the highest bidder.

Maybe Day & Co might want to spend a couple of scholarships on a kicker and a punter? Missing critical FGs is a no-no, and averaging 35 yards per punt (net), may be an even bigger no-no. And get us a Putnam while you're at it! (Draft Day...)
