Good job, kid.

That sucks. Wish it weren't so.

Even good people can make bad decisions.

I just want to say, 'Good luck. We're all counting on you.'

Stover's blocking is far from NFL-caliber.

He's a good receiving TE, but his blocking skills (or lack thereof) will probably prevent him from sticking on an NFL roster.

• Liam McNeeley: 1%.

Is he any relation to Liam Neeson?

With as much arguing as I've seen on this board, it makes sense.

Hayden had a hard time getting on the field because he was awful in pass protection. It was the biggest, ongoing criticism of his play.

You mean other than what goes on in the Shoe?  ;-)

Wrong.

Cedar Point is ever and always entirely Ohio.

Come to grips with it.  ;-)

after he added 15 pounds

I'm gonna spin it that those are 15 pounds of fat and his 40 is 0.25 slower.

That was so last year.   ;-)

Fan board commenters are delusional. Don't you know that already?

...doesn't matter which colors they wear.

Hey XM! Help me understand...

...I do not see why/how this quote is an apparent shot at Jim.

"Like some of us in this profession (Day referring to himself), he (Carlos) came up not in a football family but grew up and..."

Okay....so he's correlating Carlos with himself that they grew up and found a passion for football on their own, not because of their upbringing. Just because Jim grew up in a football family, so did many others, and why do people think this quote has anything to do with the Harbaughs?

Quite a reach, methinks.

Sounds like you just figured out the one thing wrong with her.  ;-)

Ohio State’s schedule is for candy asses.

It sure is weak.

...but I guess that's what championship schedules are made of.

I don't think McCord was pushed out by OSU. It was a surprise to the coaching staff when McCord entered the portal.

I do think Day was hard on him...on numerous occasions when McCord approached the sideline after a failed 3rd down or interception. The Cam Ward talk may have further encouraged him to bolt.

I think there's a great misconception on this board that OSU pushed him out.

It's to establish a culture, a mindset.

Remember in Summer of 2021 when Michigan's weight room posted signs like "What have you done to beat Ohio State today?" ...and it was mocked on this very board. But the point was to establish a culture, a mindset. Do you think it worked?

Rex Grossman was the QB of that team, but he did not take them to the Super Bowl.

You took my coach.

So bang me!

And puts their much celebrated (in Ohio) Off-Season Championship at risk.

Yep. Time to bring down the Offseason Championship banners!

life is unfair

Yea, as a basketball player: De'Nylon de'swishes!

I like the Chip Kelly hire. BOB felt like an uncomfortable square peg/round hole situation. But Kelly & Day have a long history and share a lot of concepts. I think they'll mesh very well.

Have you hung the Buckeyes 2024 Off-Season Champs Banner yet?

Not yet. Still developing the artwork.

Seems like a good guy. Has a plan/identity for his offense.

The unknown is being a head coach who's never before been a head coach. And to be a first-time HC at a premier program like this...sometimes ya never know. He & Day have that in common.

the ENTIRE coaching staff  ;-)

YOUR BASKETBALL TEAM SUCKS !!!!

White meat on Rice?

1. Do you think PSU is capable of going 8-1 with their schedule?  ...if they can avoid losing a trap game, it's quite likely.
2. Will 8-1 be good enough to get into the CCG?  ...I suspect so.

OSU has the second-easiest schedule in the league.

OSU non-con schedule is dog meat.

But among conference games, OSU is the only team among the top 4 expected contenders (incl. Mich, Oregon, PSU) that plays all of the other 3.

Actually, it means ND will never get a bye. They could get a home game as a 5-8 seed.

Yes, OSU's 2024 non-conference schedule has a very Michigan 2022-23 feel to it. That certainly brings down their strength of schedule overall. Strength of schedule within B1G games will have a direct effect upon who gets to play for the conference championship.

There's a clear top-4, then a huge gap to the rest of the pack, according to SP+.

• no team plays all of the top 4
• 5 teams play 3 of the top 4
• 9 teams play 2 of the top 4
• 3 teams play only 1 of the top 4
• 1 team plays none of the top 4  (hooray Rutgers!)

Of the top 4:

• OSU is the only team to play each of the other 3
• Michigan & Oregon both play 2 of the other 3
• Penn St plays only 1 of the other 3

Penn St clearly appears to have the scheduling advantage among the top expected contenders. If OSU gets to the B1G CCG they will have earned it!

Thanks!

Nice analysis. Great work as always!

NOTE: P5? What's a P5?  ...oh, you mean P4!  ...actually you probably mean P2x2.

I would prefer to see the B1G schedules showing only conference games. In-conference scheduling will be a huge factor in determining which two teams make it to the B1G CG.

(...will be a lot of out-of-balance scheduling within conference play, unfortunately.)

He might have been offered a couple of cheeseburgers.

Maybe he wanted a tattoo.

But Chip's offense meshing with Day's offense? ...I'm excited to see it!

For the BOB hire I was like...

...but for Chip Kelly, I'm more like...

rehabilitation ward

I'll buy that for a dollar.

Strack is not an OSU fan.

He'll probably climb the Himalayas.

...or die trying.

Is Cleveland a suburb of Pontiac?

B! 1! C!

B! 1! C!

or would it be: S! E! G! .. S! E! G!

I'm an Ohio University graduate, and I cared intensively about the rivalry several years before I ever enrolled.

HULK SMASH

But also a 48-yard FG is not a gimmie.

Ask Moody.

What else does The Dude have to do with his time except bowl, smoke, and look to replace a rug that really put the room together?

The Dude has all week to distribute 4.5 hours of disposable time.

Which base does Sherrone Moore start on?

OSU's "favorable schedule" includes @ Oregon and @ Penn St.

...two road games that are tougher than any of Michigan's 2024 road games prior to entering The Game.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

I have not donated any money, nor do I intend to.

This has 2026 in mind as much as anything else.

If you let 100 compete for the position, you know the winner of the competition is legit special, and 97 others can transfer.

I like the way you think...can we get the scholarship limit raised to ~180?
