    He’d need a medical redshirt to get a 7th year, I think 

    We probably lose Dunn, Jamison, and Thompson after the season 

    Crawford and Baron appear to be promising, although Baron unfortunately is out for awhile. Jamier and Ibra also appear to be promising, although further away from contributing, especially Ibra after the injury 

    Here is why....so I think if he wanted he could technically get another year of elgibility

    McNeese didn't have a 2020 season and I don't think he ever enrolled at NC State prior to us flipping him.

    Think I read where it's likely that Ibraheem misses spring practice with the injury he sustained.

    At first it was the players’ fault, now it’s the fans’ fault?


    Not buying your bullshit.

     

    You know what kills a program’s reputation faster than firing a coach “too soon” (lol)? Allowing the worst HC in the history of that program to have more losing seasons because feels.

    Herman should have put me in during the big 12 title game in 2018. We could have won!

    That’s an oversimplification and not technically what happened. He tried to walk off the field, was corralled back, threw his gloves into the stands and tried to take off his jersey. That’s not exactly throwing his uniform away. The term “quit” can be kind of nebulous. Like I said, maybe he “quit” mentally long before the game. I don’t follow Twitter closely but apparently he posted at least one negative tweet during the offseason. The story is the sideline tantrum. Saying he “quit” makes for a good and easily consumable headline. 

    Tweeting “Fucc Ohio State” was burning a bridge and he couldn’t come back from that. The sideline tantrum is the story. And the tweet was a symptom of social media. Don’t think for a minute that other players haven’t gotten pissed off at their programs and coaches and players and said the same thing to family and friends. I’ve heard of players getting in fights in practice and the locker room, of players storming out of practice, and skipping practice, and then even going on to be successful players. Maurice Clarett famously had a confrontation with RB Coach Tim Spencer at Northwestern in 2002. But he was a star player and went on to help them win a national championship.

    It’s more complicated than just saying he “quit.” He never actually said “I quit.” And never had a chance to even skip practice. What would’ve happened if there was no such thing as Twitter where he could post “Fucc Ohio State?” Either way it wasn’t going to earn him more playing time. But it probably makes it harder for him to continue his career as a football player.

    The bigger story, imo, is why haven’t we heard anything from Buckeye LB coach Al Washington? The LB corps hasn’t been up to snuff since Luke Fickell left to take the Cincinnati job. LB Tommy Eichenberg played 53 snaps against Tulsa without registering a single tackle. Maybe that factors into why Dallas Gant entered the transfer portal and why Pope threw a fit. And then there’s the whole transfer portal and the four-game redshirt rule which can produce these sort of situations in the first place. And meanwhile tOSU has played three different QB’s while Quinn Ewers is skipping his senior year in high school and making $1.5 Million off of NIL without ever  seeing a single snap. And probably won’t all season unless there’s a rash of injuries.

    It’s a new world and we’re just going to have to wait and see how it all shakes out. But in terms of what’s happening with the Buckeye LB’s, I think the first priority is probably to replace Al Washington. 

    tl;dr

     

    he quit.

     

    You should do the same instead of trying to justify it.

    Well, I picked up some awesome tickets from my neighbor right down the street. Got a parking pass for Lot 6, which is Frog Alley, right behind the stands on the visitor side. He said to get there early. Now comes the tough decision, take Mrs. CHIEF's Lexus, or my Crew Cab F-350 with 9.5 foot flatbed to tailgate on? I'm sure the truck would piss people off, would also probably need to be there by sunrise. Is that a dick move?

    CHIEF

    Double park it and shotgun a beer as soon as you drop the tailgate. Then challenge the person parked next to you to a 40 yard dash.

    So you're saying he should have thrown the easy 8 yard completion to Brewer who came open right in front of his face? Thompson did a half dozen things wrong on the play after he correctly moved on from his first read. The defenses of that play are kind of funny.

    I’m making a joke.

    I don't understand fans' need to defend terrible mistakes by the quarterback. He was drifting left, wasn't set, flung up a prayer while in field goal range to a guy who was covered. It was a terrible turnover. Doesn't change the fact that he played great otherwise.

    The chances of the completion I feel are higher than Dicker making that kick.

    ohhh...was that a...WVU game? where we won a close one in awesome fashion? i swear i remember giggling at the players jumping on the sideline and just how excited and awesome they were, how fun it was...am i remembering that right? 🤔

    Yeah it was WVU during a big review of an interception if i remember correctly. Stadium was rocking

    Agree that the band doesn't get enough airtime, but the original Don't Stop Believin' game was such an organically cool moment (despite the game outcome), it could've easily become a new stadium tradition. Someone posted at the time that Bellmont would undoubtedly ruin it by selling a sponsorship and giving Bob Cole the intro, and sure enough, it's now a forced Disney sing along/karaoke brought to you by Whataburger. Straight trash.

    Same with the first time they played jump around

    I mean it was reported just today that Sarkisian is looking for a second QB in the 2022 class. Flipping Weigman fits that bill since we're doing hypotheticals.

    mother of god wow GIF

     

    That would create a Noah's ark level flooding of tears from them.

     

     

    Hypothetically what if Wiegman is the super secret recruit that Sarkisian text and that Perkins text about A&M.

    Weigman is an early enrollee. I think he'll still get drafted, but enrolling early/ not playing baseball as a senior is a good way to throw cold water on MLB GM's. 

    https://gigemgazette.com/2021/08/17/texas-am-football-3-implications-weigmans-early-enrollment/#:~:text=Weigman made the announcement that,in the spring of 2022.

    Hey buddy, let us enjoy hypothetical situations that would create hypothetical monsoon of tears.
