    Jake Diebler (Head Coach)

    Agree with most of the above - He's proven to get the 'jimmies and the joes', now he has to accomplish the 'Xs and the Os'. But remember, he's got a plethora of assistant coaches on the bench with him, and mayhaps some of this falls on them for non-performance, or mediocre performance. I know...

    ttun basketball (Juwan out, Dusty May in)

    Agreed. Protect the cash flow, invest to keep that flowing, and look around to see where to invest the excess to gain the largest returns. That's corporate economics 101. Can certainly apply to college sports, but without that certitude of the returns. Hope that the NIL that went to mens...

    Ohio State vs. West Virginia (in Cleveland), Saturday Dec. 13, 8pm EST, ESPNU

    Truly believe that we saw the 'coming out' of Bynum. Thornton did what he does...and does it cool as a cucumber. Don't see any extra effort, but he's always in the right place. Bynum added a dimension to the offense. A follow-up slammer, is something longed for, but not readily seen from...

    Ohio State Women's Basketball (2023-24 B1G CHAMPS)

    Well, these tune-up games are designed for what Bestbuck notes. Work on chemistry, get the offensive/defensive schemes some play, and have a bit of fun. Yeah, league will be a grind, but that's only because the B10 is so very strong on the women's side. FWIW, most of these 'body-bag' games...

    2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

    Wait, wait! There's been another bid for DGG! It's.....the moon and the stars! Sold to the highest bidder.

    2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

    Maybe Day & Co might want to spend a couple of scholarships on a kicker and a punter? Missing critical FGs is a no-no, and averaging 35 yards per punt (net), may be an even bigger no-no. And get us a Putnam while you're at it! (Draft Day...)

    2026 TX RB Legend Bey has signed!!!

    Thought Day, Pantoni, whomever was supposed to charm the mama. Only to get her vote for the Buckeyes. Apparently they were 'out-wowed' by the Tennecheat staffers....maybe that should be part of the annual evaluations? And maybe an inservice or three? Hope the kid is worth the trouble...

    2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

    Have read within these posts that Diebs is not 'the guy' for us. OK, please expound. Is it the X's and O's, or the Joes? Seems like there are several Mr. Baketball(ers) on the team, and he recruited Amare, no? And now the 5* forward for next year, and yes, I know he lost the 5* guard to S...

    Ohio State vs. West Virginia (in Cleveland), Saturday Dec. 13, 8pm EST, ESPNU

    Glad you all enjoyed it. Taped the game, and watched eating dinner. But, tape ran out with 4 seconds left in regulation :(. So had to jump on U-tube to see how it came out. Sorry I missed both OTs. Anyway, believe we saw the coming-out party for Amare. Also, didn't think we'd win, as tOSU...

    High School St. Henry Redskins

    Recollect that every tOSU coach made a stop at St. Henry, to recruit their best and finest. These days, maybe not so much. But in it's day, St. Henry was every bit a viable pipeline as Glenville. Glenville has survived, and continues to produce D-1 players (most of whom matriculate to tOSU)...

    Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

    Ahhh, so many choices out there. tOSU's OL seems to be returning all (Tegra?), but the misgotten transfer from Rice. (kinda hard for me to tell, as many articles give their years spent, instead of eligibility). Does Day & Co hire a 90%er, or stick with the 80%er on the bench? Meaning talent...

    OC/WR Coach Brian Hartline (National Champion, HC at USF, Buckeye OC for this postseason)

    After re-reading other's threads. This is Hartline's coaching start, as the big dog, not position coach, where he made his bones. Like many of you, wonder (this year), how much Hartline actually called the game, with Day standing over his shoulder, and most probably, nixing some of his calls...

    OC/WR Coach Brian Hartline (National Champion, HC at USF, Buckeye OC for this postseason)

    Seriously doubt that any player with a chance of being in two deep will follow Hartline to USF. No way, no how. Simply the TV exposure ensures that. But, if the kid is going to transfer anyway, why wouldn't he go be with a coach he's trained under? LK is a likely start for Hartline. Maybe...

    $4.49 a gallon, what do you have??

    Naw, one of the first things Trump did is put the OK on shale drilling. Before Biden closed it down, the USA was a net exporter of oil. Reduce the supply, prices go up. Suppliers see that the USA needed oil, and lo and behold, the price went up. Out here in Cali, hard to tell, as the gas tax...

    HS Swim Team - any experience?

    Get it completely. Hardest thing, was to DQ my kid for a violation. Probably would have let it slide against another swimmer, but the violation gives them something to make better. Anyway, there were some bad feelings at home. One is supposed to judge everyone the same, and being a tad...

    OC/WR Coach Brian Hartline (National Champion, HC at USF, Buckeye OC for this postseason)

    You might be correct, dunno. But we're talking about Ohio State here. There's no way, USF can/could compete with tOSU, well, maybe baseball. But to foster Hartline, a splinter from the Day tree, with some Ohio State trained guys, that for whatever reason, haven't cracked the two deep, is a...

    the golf thread

    Out here we play golf 12 months a year. Granted, not as diligent during winter (when we tee it up, it's been 42 outside), but still is playable. Not a lot of grass, given that the bermuda goes dormant in winter, but can bump it to get a bit of leverage under the ball. However, need something...

    Quite a step up from my $5 a week allowance, mostly used for school lunches. Had a hard time with even that!

    OC/WR Coach Brian Hartline (National Champion, HC at USF, Buckeye OC for this postseason)

    SERE, you got some great thoughts there! Some of the non-used Buckeyes could have a huge impact with Hartline, starting with Lincoln....couple of wide receivers, and maybe some 'passed over' OL guys....keep those great thoughts working.

    2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

    Well, the SEC totes the water for ESPN. So naturally, ESPiN wants more SEC teams in. Believe there's five this year, with a 3 loss Bama edging out a 2 loss ND. Still not clear on why the playoff includes one or two "little guys", unless a neat trick to avoid being a monopoly...PS, have you...
