A long time ago, my wife's brother had a dog. I don't think we were married yet. But he had a dog. Then he moved back in with his parents, and the dog moved in, too. Then he moved out. And the dog didn't move out. Even though he lived in the area, he didn't go "home" that often. He's an...

In today's game, punishing the team is no longer punishing the players. They can transfer out to a team that isn't being punished. No one is stuck playing for that team. So NCAA's claim that they didn't want to punish current players is boof. As for the for-reals reason they didn't punish the...

Yeah - I wouldn't really just leave. But it'd be awesome to do it. Maybe take a dump on the floor on my way out.

Congrats. I have 9-14 more years, I think. But I'm leaning towards just not showing up ever again. My company cell phone sitting on my desk, next to the key to the front door. Never hear from me again. I figure that's how they treat the employees - no notice. Why should I treat them any differently?

The other leagues aren't tied to colleges/schools/academics. You can't tell someone where he can or can't go to college. As long as there is a real or imaginary tie between the school and the sports teams, you cannot force someone to go to one college or another. You need to let them transfer...

And if Ginn's son comes to Columbus, we can have a signature file bet (and subsequent welch) about whether he will ever take a snap at quarterback. IYKYK

I started to go to OSU football games in 5th grade. 1986 season. My grandfather got the tickets, and he'd give them to my brother and me. There were 2 tickets. Not 2 tickets for each game. 2 tickets for the whole season. And at the bottom of the ticket was a spot to punch for each game. So we...

I do, too. But that ship has sailed. We'd all been told that there was a luxury liner with that on board. But then when it was time to get on board, we found out it never even existed. It was really just a shrimpin' boat, and the captain keeps a bucket in the corner for his diarrhea. And it's...

I'm not going to speak for Captain Buckeye. Was he the one who originally brought it up? I don't recall. But I'd say that I mentioned it because there seems (to me, at least) that there should be a correlation between pro sports, and college sports where players are getting paid. The pros aren't...

Somewhere I saw a list of toughest schedules. SEC was 14 of the top 15 hardest schedules, with Ohio State at #8, and all 16 teams in the top 20. Here - I finded it: https://fbschedules.com/espn-fpi-unveils-2026-college-football-strength-of-schedule-rankings/ 1. Arkansas 2. Oklahoma 3. Texas 4...

I think the argument is with having the kids sign contracts. Sign a 2-year or 3-year or 4-year contract. There... now you're stuck in this contract, unless we release you. And the road should run both ways. You signed me to a 3-year contract. You can't release me until it's up, unless I agree to...

It looks like most of the article is behind a paywall. But it seems like they're pumping that up like no one else gets this privilege. All the article actually says it that the Peach Bowl is going to remain one of the 6 bowl games for the playoffs, just like the other 5 are staying there. Ha -...

Spoiler Alert: they aren't gonna get in any trouble.
