  1. Wait, he flew (or was flown) to Athens, Ga. when they certainly could have done that by satellite. Would have been nice for ESPN to point out that Franklin and Saban are both repped by Jimmy Sexton, who is also on set per McAfee earlier. They basically just did a LinkedIn promo for Franklin on national TV

    Every team that plays Ohio State close comes away bitching about red zone play calling. That's their trademark going back years, they seem to revel in getting pushed to the brink then they lock it down. I think it's why you so often see them on the score scroll beating some mediocre team 13-6 in the 3rd quarter before they pull away.

    You're partly right - I'm thinking of Penn State damn near every game for the past decade, but also every other decent Big Ten team at some point, and us in the Cotton Bowl and yesterday. If we tried play action or something, Arch would have a defender wrapped around him before he picked his head up. Going grown ass man on them was probably the best strategy, but NOT in the form of a tush push with q QB who squats a-buck-eighty or whatever

  4. Penn State is also going crazy soft with their non-conference. Zero P4 this year or next, then they have home-and-home with mighty Syracuse in 2027-28. Plus Ohio State cycles off their schedule in 2026 and 2027. They're gonna dare the committee to leave them out at 10-2.

    Easy.  Ya just don't lead 'em so much.

    I recently finished "Dispatches" the 1977 book by Michael Herr (incredibly intense) and a lot of the dialogue in FMJ is word-for-word what he experienced covering the war. That includes the quotes above, "Hey little schoolgirl, I'm a little schoolboy too" and "No more boom-boom for this mama-san". Oh and a bunch of the "Come on board for the big win" conversation which is posted a little earlier.

    FMJ is more based on a different book, "The Short-Timers," but it draws a lot from Dispatches.

    This was well done. Like the Larry Nassar story, it's shocking and infuriating how many victims piled up over so many years. Really courageous of the many athletes who sat down for painful interviews. The recent OSU administrations have continued to fight legal claims even as the school soars into the stratosphere of athletic and financial success. Jim Jordan is as awful as we already knew.
