Ohio State vs. #2 Auburn (in Atlanta), Dec. 14 @ 1pm ET, ESPN2

"Fire Diebs..."

They're still paying Holtmann big money and owe Diebs $2.5M over 5 years, unless it's somehow not guaranteed. And depending on the football team's performance in the CFP, a new head fb coach might be a higher priority, and that alone would inflict great pain on the boosters?

Idk, I don't understand how coaches are so successful at negotiating ridiculously lucrative contracts that ultimately put their school between a rock and a hard place. 5 f'ing years, 2.5 million after being acting HC for one month.

Yea, refs are terrible. Maybe a 10-15 point game if officiated properly. At what point do players say, “fuck it! I’m gonna start elbowing and fouling hard?” We are definitely soft. Same as the football team until they get their feelings hurt. But, in the football team’s defense, the BS targeting calls have eliminated the “assassin “ type hits I grew up with. Therefore, I think our DB’s are scared of being tossed. Sorry for getting off track in the BB forum.

They seem to submit immediately when a team is clearly more physically gifted than them. That fight mentality just isn’t there.

It's totally right though. I'd be in the huddle yelling F this! Sharpen your elbows and impale these fuckers if the refs are gonna keep jobbing us.
They weren't going to win this game anyway so the one-sided refs were not necessary. Feels like ESPiN wanted this to be an OSU embarrassment and its working.
