I'm currently in a taxi back from Raymond James and oh my god watching grown men in houndstooth hats cry was a sight to behold. I can't wait to see what happens with that Clemson roster in the NFL because that's the first team in 2 years that just stood there and kept punching bama back in the mouth. I also would not want to be jalen hurts or an early enrollee tomorrow. Also Bo Scarborough is the truth and might have won them that game if healthy. He's Henry with mobile hips. And knees of glass

For those who don't follow recruiting, OSU Early Enrollee Tate Martell decommitted from A&M and caused a million Aggies to melt the gently caress down as a result and start tweeting poo poo at him. So, while signing a few programs at the Army All-American game, he signed for a guy in an Aggie shirt is starting to make the rounds a bit among OSU fans.  I've read a million "Take the high road, bad attitude" takes about it, but as a terrible person/enemy of A&M athletics, I kind of love this. I only hope this is an indicator that we finally have a Cardale-level troll back in the program, but I can so totally see this ending poorly.

Honestly, the entire OSU S&C staff is starting to theme this stuff at like "Rush week frat party"/Crossfit levels of effort. The infamous Valentine's Day Massacre came with handwritten valentines from each of the position coaches this year at the start and end of the workout. We're like one ice luge away from going full Blue Mountain State at this point.

TipTow posted:So my dad and I and maybe a few buddies are heading up to Columbus for the Oklahoma-Ohio State game in September. Trying to look for some AirBnBs to stay in. Any recommendations on where in the city to stay? Would prefer somewhere reasonably close to campus, either walkable or short drive. There's a place between 315 and Short North that looks cool--would that be a good place to go out on Friday night or before the game Saturday? If not, what are some good neighborhoods for bars, either of the sportsy persuasion or otherwise? Short North is the grown-up place to drink. German Village can get you some good dining options but isn't where you want to be late at night. Avoid going up High Street to campus the night before a game. Short North is walkable to the stadium if you're in decent shape.

Henchman of Santa posted:I was in Short North last month and an old toothless woman offered to blow me and two of my friends for cigarettes. Also nobody knows how to park their cars and people are still wearing Harambe shirts. As a Clevelander in Cincinnati, you do not know how loving tired I am of the dead gorilla meme. Columbus is by far the most livable city in the state, which means it's trying to be what Portland/other cool cities were a decade ago. Which is ultimately decent all things considered. Also, TipTow, Late Night Slice for drunk munchies. Adriatici's is better pizza but LNS is open in the wee hours of the night

Korranus posted:Especially against Tulsa, sleep on those assholes at your own risk. This, it's like watching Baylor at the start of Briles' tenure where you just hold your breath until like the last 10 minutes of game time. Some Ohio State N/V/Observations - QB drills have changed dramatically this year. More deep ball drills than we've ever done, but Day appears to be bringing back a lot of Herman's footwork drills that Beck got away from. Now, I'm not sure how I feel about Barrett being instructed by a guy who worked with Blaine Gabbert and Kaep last year, but he's also gotten good stuff out of Bradford and Foles in his life, so he gets the benefit of the doubt for the moment. His feet were bad last year, which got aggravated by the line, and he needs to close his stance and get everything tightened up to have a chance at being freshman JT again. - Weber's actually getting pressure from a true soph and EE frosh for the RB job, which is a really good thing considering how mediocre Antonio Williams has looked. Pretty much every fan on this board wanted more DeMario McCall last year, and it looks like our wishes will be granted with the first team. Dobbins is going to get a lot of carries with the 2s. I'm expecting a lot more of a RB by committee approach though since Weber is just limited on his breakaway ability, similar to how Hyde needed guys like Wilson and Hall to change pace for him. - Receivers are starting to separate somewhat. Parris Campbell is the starting H, which is where he should have been for years, and he's been the unquestioned best receiver so far. Ordinarily, I would be uber-skeptical of a guy having a breakout as a RS JR, but he also enrolled at OSU on like his 17th birthday, so who knows. Terry McLaurin appears to be the Z receiver but is probably the least firm starter. Ben Victor at the X. KJ Hill, who looked like the best receiver not named Samuel last year, appears to be rotating between Y and Z. I would wager that Hill is going to rotate in place of Campbell and McLaurin and play heavily at both pivot and true slot and Z when possible. Austin Mack and Johnnie Dixon have been good, but they're clearly behind those 4, which is actually a bit refreshing considering the sheer number of guys we played here last year. Still talented enough that the 2s will look way too good in mop-up this year. - Urban is weirdly in love with the TE group right now, which bodes well since Wilson throws to the TE a hell of a lot more than we ever have. Baugh was good, but there's actual depth behind him now that we need considering he gets dinged up often. - O-line looks really good at the top and aggressively mediocre with the 2s and 3s. Part of that is just that the D-line depth is preposterous, but Urban's been throwing most of the backups under the bus when possible. Demetrius Knox looks like the likely new starter at RG now that Price slid over, which makes sense considering he was the first guy off the bench even with a foot injury last year. Pridgeon is probably the next guy at T and Burrell at G. This will be really really ugly in a year or two. Please let Studrawa not be poo poo. - The D-line looks as good as a team returning its entire 2 deep should. Nick Bosa is a backup on this team for gently caress's sake. Only real concern is the continued lack of a true 1-tech, but I guess it doesn't matter when the rest of the Big 10 is too slow to stop you. - LBs appear pretty much set with Chris Worley sliding to the middle, Dante Booker at SLB and Jerome Baker taking over at the Walkout. The backups are a bit unclear. Baron Browning is the top backup at the moment but is hurt. Malik Harrison appears to be a Darron Lee-type guy, but he's hurt. Justin Hilliard is going to start contributing likely at SLB. Hopefully the backups can stay healthy. - Kerry Coomb's comedy cavalcade of cornerbacking remains impressively stacked. Denzel Ward has legitimate claim to be the fastest guy in NCAAF right now but is smaller than you'd like out of a CB1, meaning he's probably going to be mainly the FC. Damon Arnette was seen as the leader at the other spot at first, but Kendall Sheffield is athletically 5x the player he is and will probably have him beaten for BC by the fall. Coombs intends to rotate 3-4 guys at a minimum like last year, so it shouldn't actually matter much. Behind those 3, it's a lot of unproven guys, with Jeff Okudah and Shaun Wade slightly ahead of Marcus Williamson, all true freshmen. - Damon Webb is allegedly good at safety. I don't believe it, but it would be a welcome thing. Erick Smith and Jordan Fuller are fighting for the other spot, but they're probably all 3 rotating like the corners since they're pretty similar guys and platooning appears to be the wave of the future. - Our highly recruited kicker is still bad. Hopefully the incoming highly recruited kicker is not. Our new punter is dope though.

Henchman of Santa posted:There's nothing to do in Granville except lie down and die from what I recall so it fits. As someone whose entire family grew up around Wooster, Granville is still far nicer. There are at least student bars and places where townies don't go, as opposed to the uh...ambiance of downtown Wooster. Still a residential as hell lifestyle though. OHSAA loves to have events out at Oberlin, and it is the most depressing campus ever. It's like driving through an old community college that's been taken over by a commune. Kenyon is easily the most rural in the conference and is like being in a rural part of England from all the castle-looking building. It's oberlin with money

Things I Hope Ohio State Fixes This Year - Offensive playcalling that verged on Paul Johnson-like in overly relying on the run - Teach JT Barrett how to keep his balance and not tip his shoulders/shuffle his feet mid-throw. - Please teach the wide receivers how to properly run routes so that they're not doing things like making five step cuts on a slant - The Offensive Line was aggressively terrible on the right side last year, especially in pass blocking. Either Isaiah Prince gets fixed, or we will start 3 quarterbacks this year. - Use any one of the TEs on the roster for something other than blocking. - Abuse the blitz packages this year to generate some extra sacks/pressure

Apparently the law firm report on what happened indicated that Dantonio and the Athletic Department complied with university policy and at least followed procedure, so this at least isn't a Briles-level shitshow. Considering Auston Robertson got charged recently as well and the sheer number of arrests the report listed, this is a really bad look regardless.

DJExile posted:to bring this slightly back to football, if you genuinely complain about friends/family having fall weddings during a game, you are a lovely friend and deserve shame. You own a portable television with literally endless channels that can also instantly update you on every score. Go to the goddamn wedding. This. I'm going to 2-3 this fall. It's really not a big deal with unlimited data/watchespn and BTN. Most of them tend to be early in the season anyways, when the only good games are going to be super primetime and something you can easily make if you actually can't fathom missing a game. Seriously, we picked our date to be as early fall as possible, and it means we're getting married the day of OSU-Rutgers in '18. Fall weddings are not that bad.

You guys, just pick weekends where your team is playing a garbage team that's likely to be a nooner and go from there. I'm getting married the day of OSU-Rutgers in 2018, and if our ceremony is around 4-5 I'll probably see every meaningful part of that game while getting ready.
