LB - Here Here!

3rd and 2 you make that play give your teammate a high 5 but chirping in your opponents face is low brow.

However

You come over to the sideline and you want to wave goodbye to Ohio I am down.

I find great joy when the Wildcats find a way to beat Illinois.  Will never forgive, will never forget Illinois voting Ohio into the Rose Bowl after the tie.

Extreme hate watch in football and basketball against Illinois.

Not to mention Champaign is a dump.

The BEARS and LIONS standard uniforms are 2 of the best looking in the NFL and belong in the conversation with best in ALL professional  sports.  

I say the same regarding Red Wings and Blackhawks. 

Yankee pin stripes.

Iconic being separate from attractive and professional in a different category then college I just have no desire to see professional teams go ala-Oregon variance.

I think the '97 offense was middling only because of the unimaginative "game manager" play calling

See 97 IOWA game (shudder)

Not to mention that 97 Schedule was BRUTAL and we see a brutal schedule in 2024.

I am optimistic that Tuttle can be McNamara and that is not elite but good and better than serviceable.  

As for Orji it would seem you have to develop an offense around his skill set and unsure if that is a feasible expectation.  

I am also optimistic and guarded.

From what I have seen of the…

From what I have seen of the kicker transfer I am as confident in kicking as last year and a little less then Moody.

QB obviously but still think Tuttle can be McNamara if healed up and can stay healed for the year.  Can Orji be Tim Tebow is one thing is Coach Moore willing to install that offense for Orji is another.  

I want Orji but thinking Tuttle the preferred safe choice not knowing what I do not know.

Another corner, safety, edge for rotation depth ideal.  

O-Line chemistry and depth a concern.

I still have Don Brown Dr. Blitz derangement syndrome.  Please be humble enough to see what Minter and your prodigies did here and emulate.

D Line, RB depth and WR (someone over 6'2" with hands in the portal would be nice) I seem ok with.

2 losses will sting. 3 losses is my Mendoza line however coming off a NC is a balm to the wound if 3 it be.

I want this win in OHIO and the ensuing implosion very badly.  OHIO is on the precipice of disarray and just one spark.

If the thread posted gets almost 60 comments I am not sure why the OP gets negged.  Nobody is obligated to post and by no means was this the best thread title however it is off season so just move on if not interested.

Cutting the cord will save…

Cutting the cord will save so much $ they said.  All these "options" and competition is so good for the consumer they said!

Chasing everything you need to watch live sports is brutal.

They'll cancel all sports…

They'll cancel all sports except football and basketball and blame it all on everyone else, even with reams of studies published that it wouldn't have been difficult to make it work.

The reams?

I offer instead many more Athletic Departments are in the same boat as Rutgers and Maryland instead of Michigan and Ohio State.  Even if universities split evenly $ for television contracts designated for "student salaries" there is no way that a member of Lacrosse is getting the same pay out as a member of the football team where that model is sustainable.

Unless the sport is revenue generating the $ shared can't be proportionate to be sustainable.  Even when you pay out the $ in the sports that are financially sustainable you are not paying the starting QB the same as an incoming Freshman guard.

Once you have employees you have a new can of worms to muck through.

Paying Denard Robinson his value back in the day sounds like a rallying cry until his scholarship and pay comes at the cost of some Title 19 sport.  The only end to all this will come at the cost of that which is not self sustainable as the free market giveth and the free market taketh away.

Jessie gets a plaque at Michigan but Tom got a standing ovation in Ohio.

Tom Harmon vs. Ohio State (Bentley)

In his final game at Michigan, Harmon achieved arguably the greatest gridiron feat in history in the 40-0 victory at Ohio State.  Old 98 tallied three rushing touchdowns, two passing touchdowns, four extra points, three interceptions and three punts that averaged 50 yards. At the end of the game he received a standing ovation from the crowd in Columbus.

Sometimes a Dad joke is better than a Vlad joke. 

NIL just cant end well…

NIL just cant end well.

Whatever the amount of $ the NCAA agrees to pay directly to Universities ear marked for players of any sport the $ will follow those sports that are self-sustaining and revenue generating.  

Eventually any and all athletic programs will find the ends of diminishing returns and be forced to no longer expand and/or reduce the number of sports they can support as the $ flows and grows.

The players will get paid in direct relation to the market value they demand and the very long list of sports that are not sustainable will be cut.

Please help me understand differently.

Looking forward to the day JJ destroys the Lions.

Will gnash my teeth the day he does the same to the BEARS.  Excited for him as he looks forward to playing the team he grew up loving.

Strangely not conflicted.

1989

Most encampments across the country prohibit the free movement of any student on campus let alone picture taking.  

Any campus that allows overnight camping, the restriction of free movement on campus and outside influences that do not have a student ID to be on campus will eventually need to call in the police to deal with what they have allowed.

These are not "student" protests.

These protests are not organic.

The restrictive actions against targeted races are bigotry.

Better to do now what will need to be done later and uphold the campus rules and the law.

That's interesting because the Linked article takes a deep dive into telling you the opposite and that they have had to take the more difficult path having been rejected by the B1G back in the day.

Penn State away, Maryland away and Ohio State at home in 2023 trumps what ND has on its 2024 schedule.

Rutgers, UNLV and Bowling Green turned out to be bowl bound after it was said and done in 2023.
