After Marv let loose with the secret injury he had last year, has anyone gone back to compare routes last year to this year? If he had to alter his running and catch mechanics to manage a sprained ankle, surely we should see something different about the way he is going about it this year.

It seems crazy to me that Marv catching that ball against Indiana last year happened when he was anything other than 100%. Isn't that the ankle he said was sprained? Only cutting off of one foot? Is that something teams would have been able to key on? How did no one notice?

It just seems so incredible to me, that I have a hard time believing it. I don't think he's lying, but I can't make it make sense in my mind. People with sprained ankles don't do that. Right?

Such a well-balanced team and constant hustle from everyone.

Know this means nothing in reality, but just for fun did a Pro Football Network 2024 draft simulation - SEVEN Buckeyes in the first round:
1) Harrison
3) JT T
4) Egbuka
18) Michael Hall JR
19) Donovan Jackson
21) Burke
27) TreVeyon

That would be a record. Sure, it won't end up happening, but that's some talent. (And Eichenberg was #41)

Some notes on what Knowles said about the nickel position, the pass rush and Mitchell Melton

Effective next summer.

fake tweet got me, i'm old and don't do twitter much

supposed domestic terrorist groups and plans?

Top Buckeyes 2025 target on his connection/relationship with Ohio State.

Looking at last years snap counts and a few things I had forgotten.

I remembered JSN got hurt early and barely played but forgot Fleming was out.

Taron Vincent played the most snaps at DT and Sawyer played more snaps than Harrison (26-15)

Chambers and Simon split snaps

Only had two CB’s play and Burke was banged up.

3 safeties played almost all the snaps. McCallister, Ransom and Hickman.

Considering that it was MHJ 2nd start, EE’s 1st and X first real game action you’d think the WR’s will be much better this year.

Defensively this team has considerably more depth and talent they trust IMO.

I'll be in there chatting as usual.

Lots of news on top targets across the country:

Thoughts on the corners, Josh Proctor and the option plays that Ryan Day is giving Kyle McCord -- all with an eye toward Notre Dame.

He is very confident in OSU. Calling this a match up game is underselling how much more talented, across the board OSU is. Giving respect to ND, and still respecting the ND legacy. Not putting any money on it, but IMHO Coach Day seems pretty confident.

With Chelsea kicking off the weekend early this afternoon thought I’d pull the few of us chatting about this already into a more appropriate thread.

Chelsea 1 - Fulham 1 for me tonight. Mudryk with the assist.

Who all is going up to South Bend? Would love to have a couple beers with my fellow Buckeye Brethren. Go Bucks!

Just a heads up for Buckeyes coming to the ND game in a motorhome! I have had a spot confirmed since Apri for $300. I even offered to pay in advance. As recently as Saturday the price in person was still $300. This morning I get a text saying with the demand the price went up to $450.
If I didn't already have plans and friends to stop by, I sure as hell wouldn't be bringing my motorhome!! We live close enough that I could ride my bicycle to the game.

@Birm Just wondering if this is a possibility. I understand Day is not interested in having somebody back there who may turn over the ball and that makes sense. If he doesn’t trust the people on the roster, do you think he would be open to finding a transfer with this skill set? Just looked up jaylin Lucus and looks like he is a true sophomore. With Indiana likely to be in transition, I wonder if he will be available. If not him then there will probably be others like him. I think this could be a win for our anemic return game and a better use of a scholarship than a 4th string developmental guard.

Interesting to see the backups battle for pt and seeing how that is shaking out. Current set of transfers are not much to write about. Most people thought Malone from Ole Miss was going to compete for 4th spot at DT. He is 6th in snaps. Looks like Carter is not going to beat out Proctor and is competing with Hartford for 2nd string. Parker Lewis saw his first action in 2 years. 5th year Vic Culter saw his first action on Oline. Looks like the long snapper has been best transfer.
