Officials go through extensive training and evaluations. It’s not just a $500 gig. Like it or not, they are the best of the best. 
 

@Dennis - not sure where to begin. The and 1 is a rule is a rule is a rule. Comparing it to football makes zero sense. As far as the intentional foul, it’s like that at every level. It’s a rule but doesn’t get called. It is what it is 

“I would much rather they sign four top 150 wr’s than four top 150 offensive lineman.”

Good thing you aren’t a football coach. 

Charlotte- are you living in another century?

Must be boredom around here. This is a nothing. Move on. 

Ok. That’s funny!

They aren’t going portal route 

He said skill set similar to. Not talent. BUT when was Mahomes drafted? 

Please give us insight in how that conversation went. I’m sure he begged Field and Young to stay

Get a life. Seriously 

Why? BEST case scenario he’s the 5th or 5th WR drafted 

Just stop Rabbit. Makes UM fans look like Dicks 

Slow day in sports obviously. Time to let it drop Victor. Not a big deal 

Illinois HS football isn’t what it’s been in years. They can’t live off Chicago 

He’s not coming back

Exactly how is an away game on the road at 730 in front of 500 fans setting anyone up to fail?

Slip or trip or whatever, At the end of the day, the defender can’t lead with the crown of the head.

“If Maryland.....”. Blah blah blah 

Come on dude! Seriously???? Two sports matter... FB and MBB. This is borderline embarrassing 

I think you need to go look at Tressel’s record vs “elite” and getting blown out. Outside the Florida game, he never did. The LSU game wasn’t as bad as the final score indicated. Go see how he fared in BCS games. And he went to 3 Championship games in an era where only 2 teams made it. 

Penny- you do realize the NCAA gives back 95% of their revenue to the schools don’t you?

Take time? How much time? Another 3 years?

Here’s the problem. They have been better on paper and on the field for 20 years now. Can’t continue the “won’t know for a few years “ crap. 
 

So a kid goes from 1000 to 800? Yippee 

Antonio Brown hands down 

So you don’t want either?

Don’t be one of those guys!! 

Exactly who did Meyer send to Cincinnati specifically?

Game was lost on not scoring more points. Everyone wants to bitch and blame it on the refs. Every fan base. Just stop! 

Point 1); RB by committee is the standard inn today's game. 
 

It is absolutely not. Go look at the top 50 rushing leaders this year. Most teams have a bellcow RB. 

So since the inception of the 4 team playoff, there have been at 6 games where there have been 20+ point difference final scores. Another two at 17-18 wins. And you want to water down the system? Number 1-4 would slaughter 13-16! 

Days of a single workhorse back are over? Really? Maybe that process is an issue. Say hello to Taylor, Dobbins, Etienne, Hubbard, Dillon etc. 56 Div I players rushed for over 1000 yards this year. 51 were RB’s. 25 RBs rushed for over 1200. 

Rich Rod and Hoke have been long gone. Not an excuse. What about RB recruiting over the last 5 years?

So Bama has had unlucky losses and OSU didn’t have an unlucky loss against Clemson?
 

And can’t keep up bringing in talent? Why can’t Ohio keep having top 5 classes? On field results, graduation rates (please with the online BS - everyone should do it), facilities, post career network, etc. Don’t get blinded by hatred. 

Eli - seriously?? That’s what makes our board look pathetic 

Butt hurt?

Does everyone realize Urban didn’t recruit him?
