Great get!

Special Teams was almost completely absent yesterday. Returners sucked (multiple missed catches that led to big losses in yardage). Fielding sucked (just awful). Kickoffs sucked (couldn't get it even near the end zone). Punter sucked (40 yards was his very best!). I know it was windy, which...

Have there been updates on Michalski? Is Jackson our LT moving forward? If so, then I think the 1-2 Judkins/Henderson running game is the path forward, which is not a bad thing imo.

I do miss Ubet.

Lucky me!

I really didn't want to write all that, but I did anyways.

I'm not offended, you're all good. I personally think that Carter can be a capable OSU President, but that I understand why some academics would flag his lack of a PhD as an issue - it's a question worth asking. For example, Carter's never been in charge of a research-heavy university. While at...

I haven't made any claim against Carter's ability to lead - not sure why you think I did. I just think you can praise Carter without describing the hard work it takes to get a PhD as a "cool LinkedIn acronym after their last name". A President of a top-50 public university and R1 research...

I think you can praise Carter's credentials and leadership experience without disparaging the credentials of what other academics have achieved. Is having a PhD a requirement to preside over a university? Same thing as asking if being a lawyer is a requirement to run a law firm. Or, if being...

Wow. Yuck.

Calling them good buddies seems a bit of a stretch though, eh? Addazio got hired from Temple to Boston College and brings a young staff alongside, including Day and Frye. That happens in most places with a coaching transition. Lots of stuff happened before and in between. Then, Day and Frye...

Oof. It would be absolutely brutal to lose Houston on top of already losing Scott and not getting in on Williams.

I think we need a depth QB on the transfer portal, but I feel happy with Brown, Lincoln, and (possibly) Noland contending for the starting spot. I liked McCord but he was not clearly "The Guy".

I'm surprised, but this seems like something we need to expect from such a competitive QB room and a transfer portal with big NIL $ and development opportunities. Either outright win the job, or be vulnerable to being pushed. And given the 2024 Buckeyes (and Day in particular) would have as much...

Good read. Depressing to see the amount of players considering leaving early or not return - kind of staggering actually!

I think about this a lot in the last few seasons. Michigan has been getting older players, and OSU has been staying pretty young. And that has consequences - that's been the BYU strategy for a long-time. That age disparity also results because our players tend to declare early, which...

I've quite liked him as a WR2 and can see that he might be gone, but I'm not all that sure it'll be in the 1st round (although he has the talent) - he didn't quite dominate enough games comparable to other clear-cut 1st round WR in recent drafts.

hmm, Ohio State is both a dark horse and a favorite? :confused:

It would be interesting to see how successful (or not) the jet sweeps have even been in the past 5+ years. Or, alternatively, whether there's any knock-on effects if they open up the middle or something. As near as I can tell, they are mostly failures. I've never seen them do anything better...

Exactly. I think what it is, to me, is that people are already at their conclusion of "Day ain't the guy" and aren't really engaging in a conversation anymore. The fact is, this was a top-10 win on the road with a new QB and new OL and folks are just focused on everything else. The pragmatics...
