I'm guessing this is the type of "allowed negative press" we are going to get

It'll get buried quick and never be seen again. It already is pretty much, you got to scroll down a bit on ESPNs home page to even see it.
That might be true now. But at the start after the cheating scandal first hit, I think you could argue there was a collective effort by the sports media to avoid talking about it at almost all costs. They few moments they did discuss it, it was mostly just laughed off as "not a big deal"
The comical contrast by the media when it comes to Tat Gate and scUMs cheating is pretty disgusting
A lot of the narrative was that Ohio State should get some form of death penalty. Meanwhile when it comes to scUMs cheating it has mostly been laughed off as "no big deal" and they constantly go...
Exactly.
I'm going to guess at least 1 if not both "impress" this year though. They both flashed as true freshmen.
You still have Turbo, Bey and Favor who all have multiple years of eligibility as well
Then Elijah Newman-Hall incoming in next years class.
Even if they don't bring in a HS RB...
Oh I wouldn't either. This is the type of money you'd expect a truly undisputed generational player to get though. DGG doesn't even crack the top 5 overall in his class on any recruiting ranking service and he's pretty much unanimously not even the #1 RB in his own class either.
This is almost...
It's the only type of wins they are going to get since they can't actually get the on the field. A RB especially is relatively a waste if you don't have comparable talent all around to the true competitors.
Bijan at Texas is a perfect example.
He had very good SO and JR years and Texas still...
Exactly, what Tennessee is doing in these situations goes far beyond just simply "outbidding". Ohio State would basically have to come close to probably tripling what was already a pretty good offer in terms of market value to be able to possibly win this one. That then sets a precedent for...
Dip shit Drinkwitz claimed today claimed that the B1G has won 3 titles in a row because they don't play P4 OOC opponents....
12/18 B1G teams played a P4 OOC opponent in 2025.
Even then playing an extra conference game is a lot tougher than playing The Citadel or whoever on chicken shit...
As self-prophesized, my team comes out of the AS break laying a gigantic egg against the 9th place team.
Shout out to Joe Ryan for giving up 5 home runs to the Guardians AAA offense.
Probably going to be a similar result as when Bijan went to 2 Texas for DGG at Tennessee
Texas was 13-12 in the 2 non-COVID seasons they had with Bijan. And Bijan was pretty good in both of those seasons.
Our overall RB situation though is currently better than it was back then I'd say.
I've...
Giving 2+ mil right off the start to a HS RB is complete insanity (and desperation in Tennessee's case)
Tennessee is setting a not so good precedent for themselves here, all upper level recruits are going to demand this sort of treatment from them now going forward, and it's just not...
It's also naive to think that only Ohio State has fans that act like tools on social media to recruits. Not that it's ever ok, but you get this from about every major fan base.
It's not "known known for sure" but we've seen how Tennessee will pretty much go over the top and do anything to get a single recruit they have zeroed in on. Desperate programs do desperate program things and there's no need for Ohio State to play that game.
