Oh dang, for some reason I thought they did. Haha. Well to hell with PSU anyways.

I'm not sure we've ever had parity in CFB. But if we ever did, it was when there were 6 power conferences, not just 5, and the Pac 12 at least had one program to be competitive at the national level. The downswing of programs like Miami, Michigan (yuck), Texas, Florida State, USC, and Florida...

I think an added lesson most players will have learned from 2020 is that given uncertainty around the world (pandemic, political, etc.), they probably need to focus on securing their own future financial stability. That is even moreso for me given the Big Ten and most of the rest of the FBS...

Fair, but also why not enjoy it? The next time he'd be recruited is if/when he's fortunate enough to reach his first NFL free agency..

Apologies if I was harsh. Comments always welcome especially from folks new to the board. I just try not to worry about every ebb and flow of the Buckeyes' recruiting student-athletes (and I think that's the usual advice from the "oldies but goodies" crowd here on BP).

Why? Payne is leaving a neighbor state for a school that the Buckeyes rarely play and rarely affected by directly. It'd be one thing if Payne stayed in conference or (worse) joined TSUN, but the Tide are pretty distant to worry about getting bit in the butt. Yes there's the playoffs, but that is...

Agreed. Given that hires like Tressel, Day, Holtmann, Matta, etc. came from FCS, non-P5, or non-head coaching backgrounds I think shows that tOSU usually aims to find a good, dynamic fit over traditional 'plug-and-play' hires poached from elite schools that we often see rumored. Even further...

I get the decision, just a bit sad that I won't get to see the Aztecs in the tournament given this was their best regular season ever.

Yeah, and we will hopefully get our starting center back too.

Is this skewed based on the location of some of the academies like IMG? Or did they correct for that?

Damn. Was looking forward to seeing him out there.

B-E-A-utiful. What technique does he project to?

Agreed with everything you're saying except for this point. There definitely are still late-bloomers and sleepers who do need to produce in their SR season to be scouted. If you are an NFL talent at a big program, there isn't much need to stay for the SR season just to produce the numbers. The...

I think you're thinking of the other TAMU transfer QB, Kyler Murray. Kyle Allen doesn't seem to have that baggage, just the injury-related problems from Sumlin and staff.

I don't think you're the only one who WISHES Rod Smith were a star waiting to happen. However, Rod's position on the RB depth chart leaves a marginal amount to be desired for those thinking he will capitalize on limited opportunities. Carlos Hyde was an exceptional power runner and between...

FYI, for the cell phone issue on Yahoo! If you just respond to the initial verification code with a text message that says: "STOP" then you'll be opted out of the Yahoo! marketing texts.

I'm in!

Did folks really think that Mitchell was the "big fix" at LB? Seemed like he was an athletic beast who ALSO needed good coaching (i.e., he needed to be coached up just like Josh Perry) before we expect good MLB play.

What can I say?! I'm like Vlad Guerrero, just go up there and swing at anything offered! hahahaha boy did I miss. I was actually thinking that the other day after the TSUN-Nebraska matchup... I was like "Didn't I think that Borges was a good OC at some point?" I think my speculation was at...

I dunno, that seems a tad hyperbolic. Braxton made several mistakes tonight (I think largely in the first half). The 2 fumbles are both on him. I think there were maybe 4-6 plays that he made a poor read on the defensive ends and gave the ball to Hyde. But there were some very good reads he...
