Sponsor note. Maybe you've noticed something: Ohio State fans complaining endlessly about minor digs. They're soft. Well, maybe that's a business opportunity. You could peddle OSU-branded fainting couches, opium, and handkerchiefs. Wait… wait, what's that sound?

That's Richard Hoeg informing us that opium isn't legal and we can't sell it! Thanks, Richard. I bet he knows a bunch of other stuff about forming your own small business, and can be employed to make sure you don't run into any hiccups like being arrested for selling opium. Which, to be clear, you should not do. The fainting couches, though? That's gold.

Leveling out. The top of college football's recruiting rankings doesn't look a whole lot different than they did before NIL came into play, but with the #1 recruit in America signing up for an HBCU and some weird stuff happening in the top twenty—hello Kentucky, Missouri, and Indiana—there's clearly some impact. Also, Clemson has just 13 guys committed, ranks 17th, and saw both coordinators take head jobs this offseason. Dabo's mad:

"It's crazy, it's really sad to be honest with you," Swinney said Wednesday at Clemson's signing day. "There's right around 2,000 kids in the portal and most of them don't have anywhere to go. There's so much tampering going on and so many adults manipulating young people. It's sad, but you know, it it what it is from that standpoint. You've got a lot of young people that ... there's a time and a place, but most of the kids are in there when they shouldn't be in there.

"Some are and some shouldn't. Some of the lessons we're teaching young people I don't think is going to benefit them well as they move through their life. It is something everybody has to manage and deal with. There's no consequences. There's no rules."

You could do worse than living your life by the mantra "would Dabo Swinney complain about this?" I will be fascinated to see what happens to Clemson now that Swinney has to find new coordinators and recruit in a world where it's all perfectly legal.

Sponsor note. Wait, one second.

Ohio caviar. Do not watch this while eating.

This makes up for at least 1.3 losses to Ohio State over the past 15 years, I'm pretty sure. Still waiting for a final number.

I almost want to make this and attempt to feed it to the children in the hopes that they will reject it and then eat the frittata. It's egg and cheese! HOW MUCH WORSE CAN IT BE THAN EGG AND CHEESE EATEN SEPARATELY anyway

Sponsor note part 2. Do you have an idea for a business, like posting videos of your crockpot abominations in the hope that people will pay you not to have their logo on your crockpot? Sound business plan… as long as that's not extortion. Better find out by calling Richard Hoeg.

Because if it's not extortion baby you've got a Lovecraftian horror stew going. But if it is at least you'll be used to the food. Richard Hoeg can walk you through the legality of your plans, and if they are indeed legal he can get you set up with the small business you've always dreamed of.

Still out. Per Wolverines Wire, Ambry Thomas is not going to opt back in. Jalen Mayfield has submitted his waiver and gotten it approved, which was the reason for the Mysterious Tweet of the Week:

Nico Collins has not submitted a waiver and presumably will not be returning either. If this is depressing just think of all the times you don't have to say THROW IT TO NICO this fall when the ball goes anywhere else unsuccessfully.

Corn sweat is a term used to describe the moisture that is released from the corn, causing more water vapor to be released to the atmosphere. The corn is able to draw moisture from the soil and into its leaves. At this point, the leaves “sweat,” meaning water is being released from the plant. This mechanism is also known as transpiration, when combined with evaporation, it is called evapotranspiration. This process has more of an effect the hotter it gets. This is because more water can be absorbed through the leaves of corn as the temperature of the surrounding air increases. Evapotranspiration is the main process that causes high humidity and heat index values for Nebraska.
