Bama has had 20 plus players have entered the portal with Caleb Downs (S) the latest to join the ranks. Bama also has had 6 decommits as well. Welcome to the middle of the pack because the Bama ship has sailed.
TCUN (formerly known as TTUN) is not far behind either. They their QB1 and RB1 going to the draft. Jimmy H seems very likely to pull a Pete Carroll and jump to the NFL as the TCUN program can probably be best compared to the titanic. Once Jimmy makes the move and the NCAA gives them their 2 to 3 year post season ban, players will be fleeing from Ann Arbor at a record pace.

Biggest blowout by far. Vivek drops out, as should the others. Biden has $117 million in cash on hand, meanwhile the Republicans have just wasted ~$250 million on a pointless primary show in Iowa. Haley says that now it's down to a 2 person race while she ends up third. Classic. Who is voting for her anyway???

CJ's accuracy has always been off the charts. I always thought Joe Burrow was at the top of the game in pinpoint accuracy but I would take CJ regarding that aspect of the game. During the UGA game he showed an amazing improvement in awareness around him and decision making in terms of taking the yards with his legs. Because of CJ Houston has taken a firm position as my second favorite team in the NFL and there is not even a close third. Well.... I'm the reverse... Houston is my clear #1, Cincy is #2 Maybe, if they play here next year... we can meet up there. I'm starting to like you more and more. Too bad the horns are SEC bound.

If you look… the Browns D was GREAT, at home … not good on the road . I’ve watched the Browns all year. They’ve had multiple, key injuries… often at the same position. And they’ve remained competitive. Hat’s off to them. In the end, it was just tooo many. CJ has just been incredible. I can’t believe ANYONE picked Bryce Over him.

Future certainly feels bright. Now Henderson is coming back. As much as I hate the way the portal works tOSU has certainly benefitted. Of the 12+ the left for the portal only 2 had any impact. McCord who decided to leave when Day give him the position for next year. Fleming WR who was a 5 star but never really lived up to his billing.
Coming in Will Howard who is far more mobile than McCord and ranked much higher than McCord in terms of transfer portal QB's McLaughlin OL that will certainly improve an already improving OL. Looking back at last season tOSU OL did far better against ttun than Bama and Washington Judkins RB which will give tOSU the best 1 2 punch at RB by far next season

Didn't watch the game but close but it is getting to the point where I root for the team that plays KC. At the moment I am a huge Houston fan. CJ Stroud not only is a huge talent but a class act. Go Texans.

Also keep in mind the Championship Gifts awarded by the BCS and committee. 2011 They lose a game and don't make the SEC CCG. Yet they somehow get the nod over 1 loss Conference Champions. Cleary the opposite decision compared to the 2006 season. 2012 They get in because the NCAA slaps a bowl band on the Buckeyes because a couple of players traded some merch for tats. 2017 They get pummeled by a not very good Auburn team and miss the SEC CCG but yet the ESPN SEC committee sees that they were still worthy.

So tOSU arguably had the most impressive loss of the year. They have the ball on the road with a chance to beat the #1 team in the country and came up short. Then in the Bowl game they have many opt outs including the starting QB WR1 WR3 RB2 and RB3 and lay an egg. At the end of the day we are now the worst 2 loss team in the country. The Polls are abecoming idiotic.
Now Sankey is complaining because of the vitriol targeted at the committee and himself. Well if you truly believe in the process of the selection committee you would keep your mouth shut and not lobby that both your teams deserve to be in.

Yes. I’ve been all over Korea for the past 15 years. On my last international trip before retiring, I went to China, but stopped in Korea for several days. Where will you be? In Seoul, or out in the country. The food is good. There are many beautiful parks (temples) for hiking. The train system can take you just about anywhere in the country in less than 2 hours. They LOVE golf! It’s a VERY modern place. You’ll see things that won’t show up here for another 3 years. I can give you a few tips, especially on food ordering and culture. Many people there are functional in English. Not all. But there was almost always someone nearby who would in and help if I needed it. I will be in Seeul. It will be towards late March. First week I will be with our customer and there will be a few of us traveling. I have heard they are very hospitable and want to show you a good time. I have been working with the group for few years so I already have some rapport. My wife will fly over the next week and then she and I will travel the country. Only thing I heard thus far is to maybe take a tour of the DMZ. Also visit the fish towns in the south. One person suggesting renting a car but if the Puplic Transportation can get me anywhere then I am all for that. Any tips you can or places to visit would be much much appreciated. My wife is very nervous about it at the moment especially travelling over by herself but I will be able to get her a direct out of Detroit so that should ease the anxiety. Thanks,

Looks like I will be heading there in the spring. Thinking about bringing the Mrs. along. Any thoughts on what to do or if this would be a good place to spend a week?

I am a season ticket hold for the Dayton Flyers and if you ever get a chance to go the arena for a game it would be worth your while. It holds 14,000 seats and it's a sell out every game.
Back in the covid year the Flyers had a top seed team going into the tourney led by Obie Toppin, a bunch of strong 3 shooters, and a power guy Trey Landers that owned the boards.
This years version has a very similar feel. They had a couple early losses to Houston and Northwestern similar to the Covid year, but have gotten significantly better each game. Daron Holmes is Toppin replacement who like Toppin is a dunking machine and all time leader in Dayton history for dunks. Their outside shooting is phenomenal shooting over 40%. They have some stronger players but not to the level of Sanders. On the positive side all of the guards are far more versatile collectively. Everyone has the ability to penetrate and drive to the basket. The other difference is that Holmes has developed a 3 point shot and is much improved when getting the ball in the paint. I fully expect this team to roll through the Atlantic 10 and make a run in the tourney.
Thats it for now. Back to football.

Don't know ANYTHING except, she's got pretty good elevation and firm, for a girl. Yeah, looks pretty firm 😄 Look firm to me as well. May need to state watching more of the ladies.

Musberger will likely go down as my favorite of all time. Even when he was gloating on Jake the Snake Plummer at points in the 98 Rose Bowl, he showed his enthusiasm equally in both directions. My favorite one liner of all time "Holy Buckeye" on the 4th and 1 against Purdue in 02.
Regarding the Skycast I think it is awesome as well. A big part of wanting to go to the game and sit up high between the 20's is that it gives you the ability to watch the receivers and coverages. Skycam by far is the closest to that.

I am fairly certain they did the same performance this season in the shoe. Clearly I am biased, but I don't think can find a more entertaining halftime performance than what you get from TBDBITL.
