Is there a way to make a big board for each position and who Ohio State is in on for ‘24?

Questions?

Under Ryan Day, that track record has been solid.

Sonny Styles on the list:

Ryan Day, Kevin Wilson and Jim Knowles will be joining us to speak on the Buckeyes from the team room at the WHAC.

The petitions my brother mentions in the video link, I collected several hundred while walking around Ohio State tailgates in 2018. In 2017, a member here at the Horseshoe Lounge purchased 75 tickets for a crowd-funding screening of the documentary, "Delay, Deny, Hope You Die" that I was hosting in a Gahanna theater but had to presale 90 tickets at $15 each. With 75 unsold, a Buckeye fan I've never met in person bought the remaining 75 so I could hand them out free to anyone who wanted to attend. Many members here always encouraged me, called their members of Congress or signed petitions for me to get legislation passed.

The UAW International Org recorded this video this past August at the Veterans Memorial and Museum in Fort Wayne for their website and Solidarity Magazine. I'm pretty proud of myself and everyone who supported my efforts, including many Ohio State fans and for that I thank you!!! A Promise To Heath

Looking for some fresh football questions to dive into this week. If you have any you've been pondering, drop them below. Please and thank you.

Is it Toledo? 🥺

As Tom Allen continues to trudge toward his impending demise in Bloomington, I think it's worth noting that Allen was likely never a good head coach himself, but instead did a great job hiring assistants, two in particular. One may argue that this is one of the most important qualities in a head coach, and I would agree, but if you're strongest trait is hitting the occassional HR in hiring assitants, you're likely not long for the job.

Indiana started to overachieve in 2019, and along with this came adulation for Allen. He cares. He's a great motivator. His players love him. There were fawning profiles of a guy that just kinda seemed like doofus.

It was 2019 that both Kalen DaBoer and Kane Womack joined the program, as offensive and defensive coordinators. They went 8-5 and finished above .500 in conference for the first time since 1993. After 2019, DaBoer left to become head coach at Fresno State, where he acquited himself well before moving on to Washington, where he now appears to be one of the better young coaches in the country.

Womack stuck around another season, and again Indiana played well in 2020, going 6-2 (6-1 in conference), completing likely the best Hoosier football season in a generation or two. Womack departed to become head coach at South Alabama, where he has the program moving in the right direction.

None of Womack or DaBoer's replacements have worked out. They're on their second OC situation since DaBoer left three seasons ago. They're on their second DC in two seasons since Womack left for Mobile, Alabama.

Why did I waste everybody's time with this? I don't know, but it seems like such a glaring instance of coach appearing to be good at his job only for him not to be. In most of those instances, no answer ever comes. Here, it's pretty clear Allen was propped up by two pretty talented young coaches.

The last couple of days I have lost access to the top toolbar when replying/posting. It’s all greyed out. Can’t post links/photos/gifs or change the font or anything up there. I’ve tried logging out but that didn’t help. Any ideas?
