It appears that tOSU transfer bears a striking resemblance to those that tOSU is interested in portaling in. Makes me wonder if the known person might be better than the unknown person. Maybe temperment? Really don't know, but to me it's a head scratcher. Time will tell, I guess.

Those are amazing numbers. Would that we could see what is like for tOSU, and/or other bigger schools. Thanks MPhillips.

What is tOSU, something like 13 in a row or somesuch?

Dunno, the way he hit the big stick yesterday, all day, seemed to be the best solution, until it wasn't. Not that I'm near that level, but if you've been doing it, why would you change. Playing if soft, or safely, means you are overthinking it, and have seen that crater more often than not...

For those with a short-term memory (me), Gene Smith led the charge to concentrate funds on the 'Director's Cup' athletes. Don't really know how successful that strategy was, but if memory serves, tOSU has finished in the top 6 (?) pretty much all the time. Football has been in the top 5 for...

Well, looks like tOSU will come in third, in that both of the other teams footballwise are in the toilet, so might as well redirect it's assets into a program that only has to pay 5 players......sounds silly, but there might be a modicum of truth therein.

The Little Engine that Could. (And Did!) Truly a great story with a great ending.

Read somewhere that Calipari wanted to come to tOSU, but his quesiton of.....how much is in the 'pot' for good players. Apparently the answer from AD (?) wasn't enough for his liking. So why come to the Buckeyes when he could go to another program who could buy him better players to make his...

And mayhaps he might re-sign with his current team for more moola than before. One never knows, but in this market the 'grass is greener' has more than one meaning, it seems.

Almost a Catch 22. The 'good' portal guys will command top dollar, and there's a race to get them. If you don't march up with a bag of cash, they'll go elsewhere. Take your time, they're gone, and the shopping list starts on the second tier. Less money, but more risky. Wait too long, called...

Where we live in California, we have a symphony. Volunteer, and players are both graybeards and young fresh faces. Common thread is a love to play music. Sounds actually very good, and do enjoy sitting in the theater for a listen. Heartily recommend such a venue in Columbus, as there is an...

Well, if Zurp is correct, then that explains all the scifi novels where the earth is protected by a really old space fleet. Being housed in the hollow moon and all, when the older species come a'calling, we just launch and destroy those guys. Easy peasy. Actually, believe it's good that we...

Maybe it's a 'shoot for the stars', but settle for the 'sun and the moon' type of thing. Seems pretty excessive for 1,600. While living in SF, sat through the new symphony building, and took a couple of years to 'tune' it for good sound dispersion (or somesuch). Have toured Sydney building...

Well, Diebs better get some new horses to the starting gate, or might get ugly.

Nope. As a gonna-be Columbusite, am looking to replenish my/our stable of medicos. And am starting to see what's out there. Quality docs are most important, and it's hard to tell who's a good doc versus not. And, cannot assume that tOSU docs are the 'best'. With that article, am concerned...
