Great thread, and contributions. As some know, we're moving back to the hallowed land. My wife is the packing genius, and prior moves, I was off working at new job, as she did all the 'heavy lifting'. Anyway, retired, so now helping. She has proceeded to give me tasks to help her, and then...

Have always looked to the 'position ranking' of the recruits, and usually see a top 10 number with the Buckeye recruits. When see a much higher number, try to look a little deeper, maybe the recruit statistics (height, weight) to try to discern why the Buckeye coaches picked them. Probably a...

I'd use the old homily that the size of the pie is set, only variable is the size of the pieces. However, it appears that the size of the pie has grown somewhat. How much, we won't know until the recruiting dust settles. If at all.....not so certain any university wants to make known how much...

Yeah, see your point, which is a good one. Probably be held back East, where travel times between big cities with dedicated soccer pitches are shorter. Am not educated in WC, but do they start matches at 8:00am, and run them every two hours, ending at say 9:00pm? Taking C'bus as example...

You might want to take his individual stroke times (for each stroke), and maybe time him when he does his IM. See how much he improves on each leg. Unspoken, his turns from stroke to stroke can make/break him, so those deserve practice minutes as well. In Summer Swim, have him sign up for...

Am I reading this correctly? This year is 2026, and they're asking the USA to 'consider' an event 12 years in the future? Granted don't know what this takes, certainly one or two soccer stadia, plus plenty of hotel/dorms/other housing for the multitudes of people expected to come here? Is...

Just got Lindy's Annual on the Big Ten. About month or so later than the overall College Football. Anyway, look at projected top players in nation, and top players in the B10. Kinda surprising, am used to see several/many players listed among the elites. Nary a Buckeye mentioned in either...

HUH? Always thought it was the fried chicken, fried catfish, fried hush puppies etc.

So what's the over/under on how many sign up for S&G? Betting we get two. Have my own preferences, but any of the two will fill holes/add depth to the Buckeyes.

If everyone holds, this will be one fine DL class this year. Talent dripping from each and every one. Since was a 'Super Soph' guy growing up, would love to see this work its way back, and if not the whole team, then at least several position groups. And although not as star-studded, see that...

And every OL recruit will be at 300+ before they get on the field. And the one at 320 will lose 'baby fat' and put back lean muscle. They each have the frame to carry more weight. Not my words, but those of others for many a year.

When you have 10 heats (8 swimmers per heat) for the 50 freestyle, then you know you're in summer swim. Yeah, per gender. Easiest stroke, so everyone teaches it, or simply does it. The longer events, and the more complex strokes shrink the field(s) proportionally. If your kid is able, have...

I get that asking for a tip is annoying, especially when no real 'over-and-above' service is rendered. But when it is, usually am generous with a tip (20-25%). In California, was a law passed that food service workers receive $20 per hour. This goes for McDonald's/Krispy Kreme doughnut makers...

I'm going to take flack for this, however, Scoop has reported that Moss has verbaled to tOSU. Since I don't see/verify this from BP and Bucknuts etc, then going to assume that fake news. RB has way more sense than I do, and if I heard it, then everyone else has heard as well. Beware of fake...

Kinda like ND used to do with QBs? Turn 5*s into NDFAs?
