Getting a thread ready as it feels like we could be spinning up the carousel early at some of these places.

I'm calling that Billy Napier will be fired on 10/13

Neil Brown is another name that could be out soon.

The suspense is KILLING me..let's see what the masses think

Been asked to start a new thread here for 2027 info/discussion so that's what I'm doing.

At the Mater Deil College Showcase:

Looks like he committed. No talk or story about it?

@AustinWard I heard you and Birm talking about the crowd in The Shoe on today's episode of The Beat. I was at the 1st Penn State Whiteout against OSU in 2005. To this day I still don't know why Ohio State can't create that same atmosphere in The Shoe.

I've had an idea from a while now on how the athletic department could team up with the Ohio State engineering department to maximize the crowd noise. If somebody did a study of the acoustics on the field level of the stadium, the athletic department could find the best location for students to sit. The engineering department could even place speakers around the stadium to try out different combos. It sounds like a great project for a thesis.

If you have the football team's ear it might be an idea to throw out there. I'm tired of dead crowds in The Shoe for big games. I was at the Oregon game in A Deck in 2021, surrounded by quiet gray-hairs sitting on their butts. The stadium didn't get loud until the end of the 3rd Quarter. There's no excuse for that in a stadium that holds 100K+.

he was in Columbus this spring but will soon return. That offer is a major one for one of the spring's emerging top recruits (2 INTs last night)

I will never forgive baseball for taking the honor of opening day/first game away from the Reds.

First, let me preface what I say here by stating the obvious: never bet against Brian Hartline.

That said, Oregon and USC are both very much in the thick of this and both schools are going to be offering him more money than Ohio State will. I don't believe KDW is making a "money only" decision and still very much think he could pick the Buckeyes but there's a lot of confidence right now from the Oregon side. Whether or not that's happening for a good reason or just typical Duck bravado I guess we'll find out on Sunday.

Charles Barkley:

“I’ve given more money to Auburn, legal or illegal, than any athlete in the history of the school. And the notion that I’m going to come up with a couple million dollars every year so that we can be good at basketball and football — that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard,” Barkley said Wednesday on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning on WJOX-FM from the Regions Pro-Am in Birmingham, according to CBS Sports’ Mike Rodak.

“One thing I’m pretty sure of, Black and broke don’t work, in any municipality in the world. I’ve been rich for a long time. I plan to stay that way. But the notion that I’m going to give Auburn millions of dollars every year so we can be good at sports, that’s just not going to happen. I’m really proud of what I’ve given Auburn and I’m going to continue to give them money, but I’m not going to give them millions of dollars every year so we can be good at sports. That’s just stupid. People will be talking about me behind my back. ‘How did that guy go broke? How did he lose all that money?’ Because y’all wanted to be good at sports, fool!”

So there are two thread today that have veered into some WWE stuff. I have seen a thread on here for MMA stuff so I feel okay making one for this.

@AustinWard and @Bill Landis are fans so I feel like they will approve.

I know it is a divisive thing so spare me with the it's fake stuff. If you don't like it then just stay out of this thread.

Welp no time like the present…
