I've been going through this pretty good podcast on the history of ancient Rome... https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-history-of-rome/id261654474 ... and the thought came to me -- could someone in the USA pull off what Julius Caesar started and Augustus finished in becoming a ruler that...

Ben Wallace charged with drunken driving and a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon. http://www.freep.com/article/20110929/NEWS03/110929016/Police-report-Wallace-said-he-forgot-wife-s-gun-car?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE He was pulled over less than a quarter mile from my...

Setting the ESPN rankings and talking heads aside, there has been a lot of interesting comments in this show from Urban Meyer and Randy Shannon. Just a couple off the top of my head... Urban saying there are some coaches out there, "especially the defensive minded ones like Nick Saban and...

Any other actuaries out there on BP? I just saw a guy with this t-shirt -- I have a had time believing he can back up at least half of what it says.

Yes, I believe that. Most of the time potential and how good they currently are line up, so it's not as obvious (especially with certain positions). Use Scott McVey as an example. I believe the sites would agree with the OSU staff and BP that Scott is one of the best high school LBs in the...

Does anyone here not let their kids have video game systems? Or was anyone that grew up in the video game age not allowed to have a video game system? I don't have kids yet but if/when I do I've been toying with the idea of not letting them have a video game system. Thoughts?

If you guys want to list TV series along with a 1-10 rating based on your own opinion I'll calculate a BP average and update this first post every once in a while. Especially with netflix/etc. it'd be nice to have ideas for what to try next. I'm thinking either sitcom type shows that are...

Here's a way too early comparison of what next year could be vs. what OSU had in 2002 (since this seems to be a hot topic in the 2009 defense thread). Assuming everyone stays... DL 2002: DE Will Smith - 1st round (2004) DT Tim Anderson - 3rd round (2004) DE Kenny Peterson - 3rd round...

Anyone know if there is a way to watch this final table live? I thought I heard last year there was a pay-per-view or something like that.

I guess I'm in the minority here, a 4.8 40 time is a big red flag for me with a RB recruit. (I'd be in the majority with college coaches but that's not the point.) If I get to choose, all else being equal, I'll give you your 4.8 RB that averages 7 per carry against bad competition and I'll...

Position U (using 2000-2009 draft) You always hear schools claim to be "Position U" at various positions but I have never actually seen data to back it up. I posted a thread recently about which conferences put more players in the NFL in the 2000's and I wanted to use the same method to see...

I always look to the NFL draft as the most unbiased way to see how "experts" evaluate top end college talent. It's not perfect for a number of reasons ("8th rounders" are big contributors i.e. Boone and are not measured here, good in college doesn't always translate to a high draft pick...

Braxton is thought to be a sure thing to commit to OSU. Teddy is far from a sure thing. I think you are missing that we all have a feeling how it will play out. Braxton could very likely be an early commit, which might make convincing Teddy to come to OSU as a QB much more difficult. The...

If OSU loses out on a big time recruit, where do you like to see them end up at? My list goes something like: Lower level B10 schools (bottom feeders the last few years) Other B10 schools (not including PSU, scUM) PSU scUM D1 school excluding: top 10 programs, SEC and ND Top 10 programs...
