Given I cover both teams, I always do an AMA this week.

feel free to drop any questions here

Ohio state came out first . Then the anthem . Then rutgers . This is what it looked like on tv

Make sure to switch it on and turn ESPN off… Stop giving them viewership that they turn around and spend on the SEC and ACC.

Awesome! We won’t get shut out!!!

Any excuse we can come up with

Posted this in another spot and some suggested making it's own thread.

Our last passing touchdown (excluding Wagner) was on October 16, 2021 in the 21-7 loss to Northwestern.
That's 8 games - 6 to end last year and the first 2 games of this year.
Spans multiple QBs (Vedral, Simon, Wimsatt, Snyder)
This is why I'm skeptical of the return of Vedral being some great catalyst to an improved passing game.
The end of last year wasn't encouraging and why most hoped Simon/Wimsatt would grab hold of the position.
I still maintain that the constant rotating in game and in practice is stunt either one from fully developing.

Over those 8 games we are 4-4 actually:
Wins:
20-14 @ Illinois (5-7, 4-5)
38-3 @ Indiana (2-10, 0-9)
22-21 @ BC (1-2)
16- 14 @ Temple (1-2)

Losses have all been blowouts:
52-3 Wisconsin (9-4, 6-3)
28-0 PSU (7-6, 4-5)
40-16 Maryland (7-6, 3-6)
38-10 Wake Forest (11-3, 7-2, Bowl Game on very short notice)

Some good games going on. MINNY VS -Purdue tied at 10. 3rd qtr

Temple VS Memphis. Temple pitching a shut out on the road. Their defense is legit. NOW 3-0 IN 3rd QTR.

ILLINOIS beating Wisky on the road 24-10

Let's get it going early!

Forecast for the OSU game: pain and plenty of tears raining down. But with regard to the weather, it looks like this could be our 5th straight game with gorgeous gameday weather (all of which were well predicted 5-7 days out, which is unusual), as it's looking like Saturday will feature seasonably warm temps with high temps around 70F (typical high/low in Columbus on 10/1 is 72/50) with comfortable humidity and very likely dry conditions. The only possible fly in the ointment is what happens with any remnants from Ian, but those remnants are very likely to stay well east of Columbus. So, even at 6 days out, this forecast is almost a lock.

Tobacco?

Rutgers was in today to check out a 2023 guard maybe 5th year and a 2024 forward who was previously offered as well as a 2025 or 26 BIG. If this young man keeps growing he will be immense.

Day 1 top plays, and scores.
Arella on fire. 🏀

A new name I haven't seen is a transfer from Binghamton. Zak Conley. Looks like a big boy. Definitely some options to help fill voids. Let the games begin.

If he is not mentally ill, this is a guy who believes he is bigger than his team and bigger than the game. If the NFL does not kick him out permanently, then we will see this behavior more often.

If he is mentally ill, I hope he gets the care and pharma he needs.

Rutgers (Newark) reference.

I don't know who writes these, but they need a raise.

Is a f*cking disaster.
I'm at 1 hour and I'm not even close to getting out of here

Rutgers Hoops sent a staffer to Putnam Science Academy (CT) on Thursday to see 2023 F Will Lovings-Watts, 2024 F Duane Thompson and 2026 Ben Ahmed.

“Consider them rolled”—A look back at the Big Ten-ESPN meeting that changed sports media and college football forever -Conference realignment and the rise of new sports networks all trace back to one infamous meeting between ESPN and the Big Ten in 2004


Interesting Article..... Writers theory that if ESPN hadn't lowballed Delaney & the Big Ten , the outcome of this 2004 meeting might have been different and.... conference expansion, and RU to the BIG, never would have happened.
