My daughter was 9 months and small at the start of the season and I still had her in a 2T #1 jersey for gamedays. It was way too big but she didn't mind and worked fine. It was also a bit hard to find so I feel you, but getting the bigger size means I won't have to worry about finding another one next season (or maybe even two seasons). She was born the day after the B10 championship last year, so I also have lots to do to prep for a big birthday party. She has #4 2T that we got on Amazon via searching there, and I'm pretty sure the 2T #1 came from Target. Hope that is helpful and happy early birthday to all of you!
(Hopefully we all have to negotiate longer naps and later bedtimes so they can see at least see Michigan kickoff it off to start a national championship game in a couple months!)
I’d kind of think players have a legal recourse? Court filing say stealing signs puts players health and safety and risk. We know teams have stolen signs without punishment so the big ten is admitting it’s putting players at risk, no?
Isn't it mostly an unfortunate quirk based on how the ratings services see themselves? They are rating based on NFL potential right? And JD doesn't have the measurables for that, but no reason to think he doesn't have a bright upper echelon BigTen future
When were you all in UTowers? I lived there in 99/00 and thought it was fine. And NYPD was over by Scorekeepers back then too. Did it move and then move back? Or have two locations? Loved me some NYPD back in the day!
Are there any rumblings of currently rostered OL thinking of moving on? Love Nugent coming in with two years to be our center. Henderson seems great as well. Hinton seems like solid depth but not ready to start here to me and despite the gaudy recruiting rankings I like Persi/Gentry better. Hope they and Anderson/Crippen stick around. Crippen in particular has been portal over twice (obvs worth it this time).
I'm curious what "were good-to-go on Saturday if they were needed" means in this case. I guess technically we won without them, so they weren't needed. But.... come on, probably did need them and yet
I don't watch enough NFL to know the answer, but if this ameoba D is the answer to run n' shoot, what kind of offense would be the answer to it? A QB who can process lots of info very quickly is the answer to any D, no? Is it a run heavy O similar to our's last year? Is that why MVP Lamar lost to Derrick Henry and Tanahill a few years back?
If a player redshirted, they count as a freshman twice here I think. So any year with a low number of "burned" redshirts will be followed by a higher number of freshman. Hope that is helpful and more importanly correct
Thanks, great post. Transfers make it hard to know for sure, but I'm honestly surprised by how few of the burned redshirts seem like mistakes in retrospect.
I agree. Sure their offense is a tire fire, but we've seen both Ferentzs break character and be a bit more aggressive against us before. It will also by a very large margin be the best defense we've faced all season. I think we win, but that D will be a real test for JJ.
Are there rumors that DBs Green and Morant are transferring? I'd have to think Green is pretty clearly ahead of Perry and def on the two-deep at this point if he's still around. Is Sabb enrolling early? I do wonder if Moore replaces Hawkins and we try and find a another Moore like true freshman for the slot/Dax replacement like Rod did at times this year.
I guess I'd also consider Barnhart the likely RT, but crazy how that might be the only spot on the O where we don't have an experienced proven decent/strong option, heading into spring
Right I guess my question, I never watch these New Year’s Eve games, is on a Friday, an official holiday, which time slot counts as “prime time?” Obviously I’m only one person but if I were a neutral, which finally I am not, I’d be more likely to watch the 3pm game. But is that not usual the way the TV bigwigs see it?
Interesting. I agree Cincy probably gets thrown to the Dawgs, or whomever is #1, if they do get in.
Question as I usual don't watch the semis, as they are NYE. Is the expectation that the more marquee game, probably the one Cincy isn't a part of, would on at 3pm, or the later game?
Ace didn't write the Hello post. Did he leave the site? Has that been mentioned and I somehow missed it? An amicable parting of ways? Or fallout from the deleted post on the WTKA podcast? Apologies if there is a locked thread somewhere dealing with all this that I missed.
And also since I didn't want to thread jack, Baldwin looks good and I think probably comes into fall camp a notch ahead of Johnson?
Livers, was in a similar boat to Matthews last year, and probably was seriously considering leaving before he really blew up. Almost certainly will be gone, and I think will be a nice 3&D wing and have a long career.
Wagner is a 6'9 dude with length and a great shooting stroke, def an early entrant candidate.
I think this isn't necessarily a worst case though, Juwan showing he can get different kinds of guys into the league will only help reeling in future 4/5* guys.
Also, they don't have as deep pockets as other owners and aren't nearly as savvy businessmen as they think. Fred had a 50/50 partner in Nelson Doubleday for the first half of his ownership period and bought him out. Then tried to build a new stadium and got hit with the recession / Madoff (maybe implicated not hit) stuff and never recovered financially. They use whatever baseball related profits there are to service stadium and Madoff debt. And at this point even if they get out from under it all I think they'd rather just pretend they can run the team on the cheap then admit they have screwed fans over for overe a decade because they were deep in debt.
I would rather beat OSU and miss the playoff to a one loss Georgia or whoever the committee ridiculously puts forward than make the playoff after losing to OSU.
Hopefully this Q is building on AFWolverine and not thread jacking. I'm also going to the SMU, first time back on campus in 15 years. For the 3:30 start what time when (and where) does the band start the walk in to the stadium? Is walking in behind the band still a thing people do? I have fond memories of doing that occasionally instead of the usual proper tailgate, if it is still a thing might be worthwhile AFWolverine?
I have to watch tape delayed today, no worries have a much better record in these situations than Bryan Mac, Penn st last year was the last time. There is an MLB game on FOX before the scheduled start of our game, it's scheduled for three hours, wouldn't be crazy if it spilled into our game. Do we know which channel Fox would move the start of our game too?
Utah got a private workout and has years of workout tapes and practice scouting and you know actual game tape. I think we all know how well DJ's game translate into the way the NBA plays today. I think he will be a lot like Oubre, sit for a year and be a matchup nightmare when deployed in the right spot. It sucks for us tho.
Reshp1, my question is how much of the decision to go super conservative at the start and end was from Borges and how much from Hoke. It seems to me Borges's preferred approach is still bombs away (to his dettrement sometimes, like with Denard in trash tornado) and when the game situation neccesitated he open in up, he did to good effect. But this was a Carr era scoring offense v. non scoring offense thing and does Borges decide that or does Hoke?
VCUs loss to Missouri bodes well. They are a very guard oriented team that is too say the least defensively challenged. Basically a worse version of us.
Antonio Poole was/is the rumored injury player - this, to me at least, seems more like he wasn't going to get playing time here so is going to move on to somewhere where he will, type situation. Best of luck to him.
A lot of the same people on the same court last year and we played pretty well, lost a close one and outperformed the Kenpom score by a good margin, that bit of history seems way more relevant than the fact the Fab Five always lost in Bloomington
Waive off the waiting period. This thread should be in mgo hall of fame immediately.
It makes me feel way less creepy that so many people flipped out with excitement over the decision of a not yet high school junior. Greatful for that
I have a friend who is an nba/international scout. One of his friends is an agent who is friendly with Benji Burke and the word is an announcement, possibly as early as tomorrow, will announce Trey will be back. I trust this - but move your bayesian estimates as you wish.

Really thought Brian was going bust out a 29-1 prediction. Not angry. Just disappointed
Happy for him but how did Semaj Morgan make it? He had like 6 kick returns all year, right? And I don't remember more than 1 getting to our own 40?
Will admission allow Harvard credits to transfer :)
Shawn Springs shouldn't be here. He fell down and gifted us a road win, he would make my list of least villainous buckeyes (a very short list).

Highly ranked vastly superior Michigan team up 10-0 over Iowa at Kinnick, I remember feeling confident in that situation before ...

But is that not usual the way the TV bigwigs see it?
When do they announce the game times? Our game is clearly the ratings getter of the two, does that make it more likely we play at 3 or 7?
No Billy Mumpherys over here brother

Not for nothing but this isn't the first time Mattison has spurned us for a rival. And last time we immediately won a national title.
I get that, I could see the fanbase coming down 50/50 on the question. National title is obviously another story.
I would rather beat OSU and miss the playoff to a one loss Georgia or whoever the committee ridiculously puts forward than make the playoff after losing to OSU.
Its possible a lineman did it more recently, but Maurice Clarret was on the OSU sideline when he took his official for the Game in '01.

He's going to Utah

Do we officially share the B10 title if we finished tied with only MSU or does the sweep break the tie?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
If yes than that is my word, if not superexcitednervous will have to do.
Go Blue
Manny's three point play at the end of the Clemson game in the '09 tournament.
And every single second of the Tennessee curb stomping in '11

Sadly IU 77-72
M 27-9
Oh Comely seems perfect for this.
Not that it matters much, with the good news already in our pockets, but same source says Della Valle is a pretty strong bet to end up at Ohio.
