I like your list. Gotta say, dang, that defense is loaded! Nice to be saying that

I'm no expert on her, but from what I've heard she has carried herself remarkably well. She had old women's bball coaches complaining they didn't like her popularity, and had one on the moms of a Utah gymnast complaining their home meet was nothing but her fans. LD went online and asked her fans to be respectful of the opponents and the sport. She handled both those situations with class. Yes, she is obviously going to get some pervs and creeps following her, but if you were 20 and had the opportunity to make enough money to set your kids up for life, would you not do it? I would wager she is handling the spotlight and NIL better than 95% of the bluechip football players.

By that line of reasoning Day never would have got the head gig in the first place. So you are suggesting we take the best recruiter and WR coach in the country, and send him away to calls plays at a MAC school for a few years before he would be worthy of calling plays here? The right person for the job is the right person for the job. That's why part if being a great leader includes talent evaluation. I'm pretty sure Day and others aren't just handing him the keys for no reason. He is the best at everything he has done thus far, why would he not excel at this as well?

Good point

When the Browns were gone and the Bengals were struggling, I thought they should change the name from Cincinnati to Ohio (would probably have to change from Bengals too) and play 3 games in Cincinnati, 3 in Cleveland, and 2 in Cbus. Would never work though. People from Cincinnati and Cleveland can't get along.

At least he won't get drafted by the Bears. That's a huge plus.

Not really complicated. If you read the article, Arnold was replaced by a transfer with a scholarship, so he was done here. Johnson and Dunn were both replaced at safety by Carter. Especially with Tommy E returning, Mitchell had little chance of playing, not to mention the young studs we have coming up at LB. JBB is in the same boat. Starting DE spots are locked in and the young guys are dynamite. JK Johnson is really the only kid leaving that had a shot at playing a substantial role. We'll probably lose so more kids after spring, but the number of kids we have leaving is nothing compared to some of the other schools. (Looking at you aTm.)

Saul Goodman would be perfect.

And the bitch of it is that in each instance you are referencing in those games, the calls were all correct on the field but overturned by replay. Without apology and without being questioned. If ESPN weren't in on it, they would have put each of those calls under a microscope. Believe this: the fix is in.

Turning into? It's been a clusterfuck for decades. Now it's a cross between the Wild West, Tammany Hall and the seventh circle of hell.

Yeah, no excuse for not running the motherfucking football better. Except the #1 RB was in a walking boot, #2 got 3 carries because he was clearly injured, #3 blew out his knee in the spring game, #5 was lost in the middle of the season, #6 is a WR and #7 was playing LB 3 weeks ago. No team in the country has the depth at any position to deal with the injuries our RB room endured this year. And we still ran for 119 yards on the best D in the country.

Yup, the B1G is just a bunch of crazy, bitching conspiracy theorists. Funny though, in the ScUM/TCU game, on the TD that got overturned, the best shot they had was from above and on an angle so you lost sight of the ball and couldn't see the juggle, which in this case would have helped them. Then they had a goal line camera that was so far away you couldn't even tell which teams were on the field. Then in our game, miraculously, they had a camera calibrated perfectly right on the first down marker, complete with this new technology that no one has ever seen before that graphs exactly where the plane of the marker was to show the ball did in fact eventually go past the yard needed. Of course, it was out of bounds, but they didn't catch that part. Also, by the way, they showed a split screen that was meant to show 2 different angles simultaneously. Problem, though, if you look at Bowers' helmet, in one he is looking down and the other looking forward. In the words of Kurt Cobain, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.

Lol, yeah, because the media is trustworthy. All media is tainted, biased and, often, outright guilty of being in on the conspiracy. Do you really think anyone involved with ESPN is going to blow the whistle on the currant crowned-jewel of the SEC?

Sorry, but that was a really long post for someone who has no clue what he's talking about. First, Moglia isn't "fairly wealthy," he's worth several billion with a B. Second, he is not in any way shape or form the AD or the defacto AD or the guy behind the scenes pulling strings. Matt Hogue is the AD, and he's a damn good one. He's been at the forefront of CCU going from a big fish in a puddle to where they are today. School added football while he was doing marketing and fundraising, and has turned into a team sniffing the top 25. National championship in baseball in 2016. Went from 4k students to 10k. Matt hired Joe personally and kept him in the family even when Joe's health kept him from his coaching duties. Sorry, but I take umbrage with you making assumptions off of things you pieced together and presenting them as true.

Football attendance has zero to do with this. Liberty online is basically them printing money. They literally have meetings where they brainstorm what to do with all the money.

I think a lot of the TE outrage stemmed from the fact the LB from Georgia's stats were literally half as good as Tommy's and he was named a finalist, rather than the fact he didn't win.

Holy cow. What are we, Stanford now?!

You start by saying it is "highly likely" that we get "embarrassed," and then say anyone who doesn't believe that is disregarding reality and is delusional. Do you see where maybe you are the problem here? Is it really that crazy to think we are one if the best teams in the country and will bounce back and hang tough with a team that is admittedly very good, but also far from perfect? Do you see where your negative line of thinking combined with your superior attitude might make people on this board want to tell you to go jump up your own ass? Just asking.

The committee did NOT enjoy championship weekend. They wanted USC to win and TCU to lose to set up OSU/UGA and USC/ScUM. That would have been epic. Once USC lost, they wanted TCU to win so there'd be no question keeping them 3. Oops. With the TCU loss, they would have liked a close UGA win and ScUM blowout so they could think about flipping (insane they would consider doing that to an SEC team, I know). In the end, I think the committee begins with the objective of getting the 4 best teams in, and then unapologetically creates the best bracket with those teams. Done and done.

Until we meet them in the championship game, and make it the most watched event in college history.

I humbly suggest if you would like to learn more that you go to Ohio State's official website and spend 5 minutes clicking around. I don't think expecting some random person on a message board to uphold good journalistic standards is the answer, especially since we now live in a world where journalists don't uphold basic journalistic standards. I believe the intent of the post was to ask those in the know for info, not create an editorial piece meant to inform.

We will have at least one wildcat play with X Johnson taking the snap.

In the last 2 years Stroud has 79 TDs against 10 INTs, is 23-2 as a starter, leads the nation in QBR and is the frontrunner for the Heisman. But you wanted to hand the keys to Ewers LAST year. When he should have been in high school. THIS year Ewers has 14 TDs and 6 INTs and ranks 45th in QBR. What do you think he would have done last year? You know why you "continually get roasted" for that opinion? Because it's dumb as shit. And the fact you reference what is perhaps the worst take in the history of this board to get us to listen to your opinion on the QB room going forward is nothing short of piss-yer-pants hysterical.

Nor are they Kentucky nor are they Baylor. The top 4 teams all struggled and #5 got blown to smithereens.

Wanting to stop it and having the talent to stop it are 2 different things. Not only will we have the most talented D they have played, but more importantly we will be the deepest. They have been wearing teams out, running the ball 50 times a game. If you look, you see the games are usually close in the first half, but just wear people out in the 2nd. Our D line rotation is going to be huge. Plus, hopefully, our O sustains several long drives and, better yet, puts up some points early so they can't go into their conservative ball control mode and actually need the QB to throw it.
