I have no skin in the game as I am a Buckeye fan. But as an outsider looking in, I would opine that it's probably prudent to pay the asking price unless you are sure you can land someone of at least equal ability. Who else are you going to get ? It's not like there is an unlimited supply of QB...

Personally, if I was ranking teams not based on W/L and post-season results but on who I thought really fielded a better team in terms of overall talent and ability, I would rank as follows. I know ND beat Penn State but I still think the latter fields a better team overall. And Georgia is...

My money would be on Texas to win the CFP next season. OSU will be losing some key players and will make it to the playoffs but not the finals. And with the new format, it will be harder for teams to repeat. I don't think we will see a lot of that. With the old format, all you had to do was win...

I think people placed too much emphasis on the losses and ignored the potential. OSU lost by one point to Oregon on the road after a star lineman went down before the half and it sent the line into a bit of disarray for a while. The loss to TTUN was an aberration just like Notre Dame's loss to...

Hope everyone had a good time attending. I have to tip my hat to Vols fans for showing up. It's the most visiting fans I have seen attend a game here so you should take pride in that and also making the playoffs. As far as the game, I wasn't surprised with the win but was surprised by how it...

All I can go by is my own experience. I have been going to games here for decades. I have never once seen a fight between opposing fans. I have never seen it happen even when Michigan comes into town. In general, people just mind their business and don't go out of their way to start trouble...

Nah...It's like anywhere else. You will get treated how you treat others. If you aren't trying to provoke anyone, the only place you would have any issues is the student section. But that is true anywhere. How you carry yourself and interact with others is often directly proportional to your...

Nobody was expecting it. He is a true Freshman and although highly touted, success like this usually doesn't happen instantly. He just came out in game one and started making wild acrobatic catches and started setting records for freshmen receivers. That's one of the reasons people were upset...

Probably. I really can't say for sure why the athletic office rushed to hand the keys to Day. When Meyer was suspended to start 2018, Day was the interim coach for a few games and the team beat up on a couple of bottom feeders. He did a good job as Offensive coordinator for one season prior to...

If you want a shuttle, use Carmack Lot on West Campus. Lower left in green. Free Shuttle Bus. Just walk from the lot to the spot marked Shuttle. No or little wait as they have a fleet of buses running all the time. Remember which section you parked as you will get lost going from one section to...

I think NIL likely was a factor. Howard is competent. He is a decent leader on the field. I would say his raw ability is just acceptable enough for a program with the standards of either of these teams. He almost always does enough to get the job done but without much fanfare. If he doesn't...

No. It would be hard to replace Stroud so nobody really expected it to happen. McCord and Day never really gelled personally and nobody was shocked or upset when he bailed. He wasn't well liked by the fanbase to begin with as he kind of had a nonchalant attitude. When they landed Howard in the...

College refs are the same everywhere - bad to mediocre.

I agree. It's easy to get mad and want someone fired. But you might make it worse if you are guided by rash decisions in the heat of the moment. Depending on the outcome of this post-season, I might just start jumping on the bandwagon that says we need to start seriously consider Day's future...

Fans aren't questioning whether we are on a sinking ship. They are wondering if the person at the helm is competent enough to command the ship. Here is the mood as the clock hit zero against Michigan. Fans were incredulous and going ballistic on day.
