    COACHES BUY OUTS, HOW MUCH IS RIDICULOUS

    Would imagine it would be hard to get a superstar coach to leave a comfortable gig, to take a team that just tanked their coach, without a hefty incentive to leave. The corporate football mind used to be, to give a coach three years to make it into a winner, but don't believe that's the case...

    2026 AZ OL Aaron Thomas (Minnesota Verbal)

    Nothing new here, but appears that nothing is over until it's over. Having committed to tOSU, looking around seems to be from 'a position of power' when visiting. Going to a lesser school (Free Shoes U), might enable him to earn more NIL (maybe change name to Free Spending U), and make Dad...

    2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

    Simply focusing on the OL, looks like tOSU has added more potential, subject to Coach Mick toning some bodies. Haven't really seen any of the freshman (Carter Lowe, etc) getting in on closing minutes of a game, nor the twins (much) from St. Iggy. Yet, it appears (yet again), that tOSU OL has...

    James “not elite, not employed” Franklin

    How many baseball players do well, sign a big dollar extension, and the next year cannot hit their hat size? Pick on baseball, because have seen it more often, but would imagine that same with basketball players, not making the three-ball like before new contracts, etc. PS, remember the UCLA...

    Neal Shipley (PGA Golf Pro)

    Thanks for the 'rest of the story' Jagdaddy. Announcers don't tend to focus those that went home.....even if they are Buckeye Legends. Scarlet looked pretty well groomed though. Haven't played it since Jack redesigned. My club pro brought me back the revised course lay-out while he was...

    Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

    Do Boyles and Mills fill any 'holes' in the singlet guys line-up?

    RB Eddie George - (1995 Heisman winner, CFB HOF, 4x Pro Bowl, HC Bowling Green)

    Way cool to see former tOSU players supporting Eddie at BG.

    PG/SG Kelsey Mitchell (Big POY, 3x All-American, OSU All-time Leading Scorer, WNBA All-Rookie Team, 3X WNBA All Star, All-WNBA, Indiana Fever)

    Deservedly so. Certainly stepped up, and with CC out, she certainly got more looks. Can be disputed, but believe her game has elevated since she lit it up at tOSU. Don't believe she drove as much as she does now, and always amazes that the smallest player on the court goes inside against all...

    Neal Shipley (PGA Golf Pro)

    Watched the Korn Ferry tournament, played on the Scarlet, with the hopes of Neal lighting it up (was family member from age 13-26), and although very much enjoyed looking at the course, nary a sighting of Neal. Not entirely certain why, but ? Anyway, very much a rooter for all golfers wearing...

    2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

    Probably all shell-shocked if had to guess. Let reality sink in, and maybe the grass will look greener elsewhere. Looking at the coaching horizon, cannot fathom who might slide into PSU's HC position. Either an old retread, or a fresh new face. PSU has been one of the more stable coaching...

    James “not elite, not employed” Franklin

    OK, it's done. Hopefully Day & Co can use this downfall as impetus to tOSU team to keep their daubers up, and not overlook an opponent. Day has said that when people praise his Buckeyes, he's looking for the rat in the woodpile (my words), and now he's got proof positive that one has to keep...

    James “not elite, not employed” Franklin

    Yuk! Yuk! He could sell his house in town for pennies on the dollar, and flee somewhere else. Also believe that someone would pick him up as a HC. Maybe not for the amount of money he's getting at PSU, but maybe in the $3-5M range. As far as the announcing part, one's gotta have some sort of...

    Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

    Am a bit confused here. OK, so $2B gets meted out to B10 teams + B10 office. Got that, however the split occurs. Is this an 'equity' position, or a discrete 'bond/loan' type of thing, which stretches for now until end of current TV contract? I also understand that the $2B is tied to a new...

    2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

    Kinda looks like guys giving up on teams that 'appear' to be looking to change HCs. tOSU is quite the story, losing 14 draft picks, with 8 being on D, yet having the 2's getting coached up to be 'better' (?) than last year's version. Certainly would get my notice if I was looking for a place...

    '26 OH SF Anthony Thompson is a Buckeye!!!

    Well, tOSU has one national championship, and the others at least one a decade. (overstated, I know, but...)

    '27 FL C Obinna Ekezie Jr. (Verbal Offer)

    Maybe this is the kid that causes tOSU to open it's purse strings for basketball. Not certain whether it's 'a center causes complementary players to join up, or that a great point guard does', but one cannot coach size. But tOSU is needing under-sized players to clean the glass ( I played when...

    2027 OH OL Davis Seaman (Verbal Offer)

    Well, that would make it Watterson 2- Whetstone 0. Am wondering why the City League doesn't produce more Ohio State quality players. Parents fleeing to Dublin/Pickerington for better sports opportunities?

    2026 IL TE Mack Sutter (Alabama Verbal)

    Could work that way. Not saying I know anything, but...if tOSU has 'pots' of cash for every position group, and some was committed for Fordham, stands to reason that that allocation could be mingled with a new one to create a larger NIL for Sutter. Looks like the TE position will be depleted...

    Well, that added $200,000+ to his NIL package.....

    Stanford Cardinal (official thread)

    Meant to say three time zones versus two. Just got done looking at investments, and do indeed have more than several 'three baggers' present. Which means price is now 3x what it was purchased for.....Lived across freeway from SMU, and trust me, not a bunch of tea imbibed at that place, unless...
