    Ohio State @ Maryland, Thursday Feb. 5, 830pm EST, FS1

    Great night, watching both the Men and Women get some nice wins. Yeah, Md was itching to fight. Tilly was trying to prove his worth after the Wiscy thumping, and believe that Chapman had his best game yet. He's picked up the pace with his D, by not playing matador defense. Women, well, they...

    How about them Miami (O) basketball team?

    Couple years back, ran into a guy who sported his Miami shirt. Had to talk to him, as I matriculated there oh so many years ago. Got to talking and he mentioned (proudly might say) that Miami U is the best hockey team in the state. Recruits go to Oxford-town rather than C'bus for the sport...

    OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

    Well, if our new OC isn't good at getting the "Jimmys and the Joes", then he'd best be good at the 'X's and the O's". But it does make an impact on the recruits that the 'big guy' comes to see them. Day makes his appearance as the coup d' grace on a recruit, and the OC and DC make almost same...

    HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

    Still begs the question of why production fell off. Maybe holding him back to 'spy' on the QB? Maybe the O targeted him as someone to stop? Didn't hear that he was injured in any way, but has to give the NFL pause would expect. Guess we'll see come draft day.

    2027 OH LB Brayton Feister (Verbal Offer)

    Back in my day, kids that turned 18 (!) during the season were removed from the team, as OHSAA had a rule that no HS player could compete past the age of 18. Well, it's be a minute (or three), so guess this rule changed. FWIW, daughter had a November birthday. Question was whether to start...

    Ohio State Men's and Women's Gymnastics (1985/1996/2001 Men’s National Champions)

    Wonder how many botched landings separate #3 from #6? And wish the football team could/would score as many points as the gymnasts do...

    Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 19 Straight B1G Titles)

    Thanks Gracel....had to chuckle when you mentioned 'NCAA Sportsmanship Codes'.....Those wingnuts cannot keep their own rules straight, let alone establish niceties such as sportsmanship....personal opinion of course. From the length of your response, and the detail, might give me the opinion...

    Advice on books to read

    Or, you could just rewatch "Rise of the Machines". Certainly can believe that super intelligent AI constructs would view humans as flawed. Hopefully there's an alternative path where the constructs 'help' the humans become better, rather than be totally irradicated. Do want to purchase the...

    Ohio State Men's and Women's Gymnastics (1985/1996/2001 Men’s National Champions)

    Now, if we can get these Olympians to wear and Ohio State patch on their Olympic uni, life would be good.

    Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 19 Straight B1G Titles)

    Dumb question. Is it 'mandatory' that each team puts their #1 v #1 etc down the line? Or would a coach put their #6 singles against visitor #1, and then have their #1 go against opponent's #2 etc? In essence, sacrificing a L, versus maybe gaining an edge against the rest of opponent's...

    2027 OH LB Brayton Feister (Verbal Offer)

    Seems like there's a number of long-in-the-tooth members here on BP. Do remember (circa 1955), asking Dad how can we have Hopalong Cassidy in the Buckeye backfield, when I watched him on TV that morning?.....

    How about them Miami (O) basketball team?

    Went there during the Withrow days, most HS had better facilities. Millett was waaaay across campus, so didn't attend much. Invited to a sorority dance there, seems like eons ago. Must be something in the water in Oxford town, as rare that the guys and the gals are both winning.....does...

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

    Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 19 Straight B1G Titles)

    Cannot remember such a magnificent week end for any other Buckeye team, ever! Maybe pistol, and/or Syncro swimming, but that's it. Anyone do a wrap-up for we amateurs? Gracel and BB gave us some bon mots, or maybe direct us/me to another website? Thanks, would that had been in the...

    How about them Miami (O) basketball team?

    Was very surprised to see my alma mater ranked inside the top 20! And with a perfect 20-0! Don't believe it's gonna last forever, but wow! Matriculated there, during the days of Freddy Foster, but gone during the Wally Szerbiak (sp?) days. Kentucky knocked them out of the Dance, by playing...

    Professional Players Returning to College

    Well, believe it or not, there was once a time that the Olympics did not allow professionals to compete. Then, it turns out that the Eastern block countries were putting athletes in the military, where their only duties were to practice/play their respective sports. By USA standards, not...

    2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

    Have heard it said, 'if you have to win the game based on the refs' - then you're in trouble. Consistent effort, in crunch time, start looking towards the basket, not running around, passing, beyond the arc, afraid to take the shot....Yeah, Tilly needs to stay healthy, and getting Noel back is key.

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

    Kinda hard to crash the boards with only one big. McDuff is and will always put a guard first team on the floor. Four littles and one big can work, he's proven that, but when you go up against some height, you get out-rebounded, unless you make an unreasonable number of shots. Certainly the...

    tOSU Recruiting Discussion

    When a team loses 31 xfers, some fat/excess goes, certainly. But when one debones a chicken or beefsteak, some muscle gets cut away as well as fat. Heck, tOSU made ND's portal season all by ourselves...IMHO. Appears to me that tOSU's sophomore and junior cadre has been gutted by transfers...

    OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

    And, opinions are like a**holes, everyone's got one....amazing how we look back at the 'lean times', with some fondness. Wife and I looked back at our salad days, where she would make some chicken veronique, (that's chicken salad with sliced grapes, folks) go up the Santa Cruz mountains, suck...
