Coach Day: Dammit Chase, whose Bentley is that ur driving?!

Young: Don’t worry coach, it’s not mine... (long pause for dramatic effect) It’s my agent’s.

Another feather in the cap for Urban! His legacy continues.

In other tOSU news, they scheduled a Home and Home with Georgia for 2030 & 2031. The last time the Buckeyes scheduled an SEC team during the regular season? Nineteen fucking eighty-eight. Always amuses me when tOSU fans here complain about ND's lack of a 13th game or our scheduling when their regular season gauntlet is typically a dysfunctional Michigan team, Penn State, and that's about it. Michigan State used to give them some trouble, but they're a dumpster fire now.

From Adam Rittenberg:

#OhioState football players Amir Riep and Jahsen Wint, today were arrested and charged with rape and kidnapping in Franklin County Municipal Court. University is aware of arrests and, in statement, confirms both have been suspended from all team activities.

Not sure how long you can keep someone merely "suspended" when they're charged with rape and kidnapping.

It sounds like they have a video that's pretty damning too. Supposedly the girl is crying on video while one of them forces her to say it was consensual. I haven't seen it so I can't verify, but if that's true I don't know why they haven't been booted all together.

They will miss spring practice and the BGSU game but be suited up for Oregon.

I wanted to use italics but...

Bill Greene added a Jakalin Johnson CB to OSU. Which I read as his coach ain't gettting the ND job so Mickens is the next CB coach.

Greene also added a CB for JT Tuimoloau. Are you F*****G kidding me?

ND has known Todd Lyght likely wasn't returning for like a year. How are they so far behind on CB hiring?

Curious how Ryan Day will look without Justin Fields.

2020
RS SR Gunnar Hoak
JR Justin Fields
FR CJ Stroud
FR Jack Miller

2021
RS FR CJ Stroud
RS FR Jack Miller
FR Kyle McCord

I think they’ll look at a Transfer for 2021 but I don’t think they’ll be the same. Day was handed a top 5 recruiting infrastructure, I think the 2nd most talented team in college football per 247 composite, and one of the best recruiting assistant staffs in the country. I don’t think much of that will change in the future but Day might struggle without a surefire superstar QB in the future. Their recruiting is ridiculous right now and hard to compete against.

Have to say, this has crossed my mind as well. I assume high-level of competence here, so my guess has been they thought they had the succession plan and it got off course somehow.

Spent time trying to get established NFL guys, which wasn't a bad plan...

But then those guys made moves within the NFL, so now they're behind trying to figure out which current college coach they want to poach.

I don't think the process is dragging out because of anything ND has done "wrong," unless you think they set their sites too high and/or think it was a mistake to wait for the NFL to finish it's business for the year.

From everything I've consumed, I think CJ Stroud is going to kill it at OSU. His summer work last year and then his season were very Jayden Daniels like. I think he'll be ready for primetime in '21. Will it be a step or two down from Fields, most likely. If they need a GT, they'd be a good spot for next year's KJ Costello or Jamie Newman.

As far as Jack Miller... at best, he's there 3-4 years and GT's out if he wants to play. Or he transfers early after reading the writing on the wall. I've seen a lot of good QB's in my part of town recently, Rattler, Slovis, B. Rinley (NC St), JD Johnson (MI/but retired) and he'd be last in that group.

The other thing is he comes from money so that may either enable his to stay in Columbus as a life long back up or the desire for the spotlight and go elsewhere when he falls behind.

To me that makes no sense. Why leave the pros for a similar position in college where you’ll also be expected to recruit?

Because not all guys will be retained by NFL organizations (Daronte Jones was let go by the Bengals to then be hired by Minnesota) and one of the guys, Parker, wasn't even a position coach with the Packers. So, a lot of moving parts to these hires.

Yeah, I shouldn't have said "established," I should have said "NFL guys looking to make moves." Trying to get a guy who was let go, or who might be ready for an upgrade but isn't necessarily going to get it in the NFL, was an okay thought process. But then Jones somehow parlayed a disappointing tenure with the Bengals into a job with his old pal Mike Zimmer, and Parker is apparently going to stick with the NFL job chain.

Daronte Jones would have been a bad hire though, IMO, so I'm glad it didn't work out in that regard lol.

I'm a Bengals fan, so I am familiar with the fact that William Jackson III, who looked like a future superstar three seasons ago, suddenly looks helpless, while Dre Kirkpatrick, who was average, is suddenly a total liability.

Only one guy improved under Daronte Jones, and that was mostly because he got healthy at the end of the year, not necessarily because of coaching.

By 2021 they’ll have 3 4*+ QB’s in the system along with the best grad transfer if they want one in Columbus. Hopefully that isn’t as good as Justin Fields and they can take a step back. We’ll see though. Ohio State is well stocked for their future QB prospects. So is ND for that matter as in 2021 they’ll likely have Clark, Pyne and Buchner competing for the starting role which is a solid amount of talent.

https://www.cleveland.com/osu/2020/...ings-required-and-no-tailgating-for-2020.html

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- If Ohio State football plays games at Ohio Stadium in 2020, it will do so with 20 percent capacity.

The athletic department made that announcement to season ticket holders on Tuesday, along with several other restrictions for fans attending games this fall.

The guidelines were deemed necessary due to the COVID-19 pandemic that already triggered the cancellation of the Big Ten’s non-conference fall sports contests and has threatened games being played at all this fall.


According to the letter, face coverings will be mandatory for all fans in attendance, and physical distancing will be required. Tailgating will not be allowed for the 2020 season, and the traditional “Skull Session” pregame festivities at St. John’s Arena will not be held. Concessions inside Ohio Stadium will be limited.

Ohio Stadium has a capacity of roughly 105,000, so a 20 percent cap would mean about 21,000 fans per game.

Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said in May that his department was gaming scenarios in which capacity could be in the 20-22,000 range. He later clarified that capacity could reach 40-50,000 if distancing guidelines and other local restrictions were loosened.

However, the city of Columbus currently requires face coverings in all public buildings. The city has seen a 220 percent rise in COVID-19 cases since reopening on June 1.

The White House Coronavirus Task Force designated Columbus as a potential coronavirus “hot spot.”

Ohio State reported $50.0 million in football ticket revenue for 2018-19 — the most recent season for which data was available — and an average of 53.04 million over the past five seasons. It is the single-largest contribution from one sport to the overall Ohio State athletics budget.

The coronavirus pandemic already wiped out Ohio State’s spring practices after one week. The Buckeyes’ voluntary workouts were also interrupted by a spike in positive tests among athletes.

So is OSU's recruiting better than Clemson's now? Four 5 stars in the 2021 class and already two in the 2022 class lol. They landed their 2022 5 star QB yesterday and the guy who played Vince Neil in The Dirt.

I heard that the guy who played Nikki Sixx can really hit and run.

Don’t ND ever offered him so there must be something off the field related to books or something cause this kid is a super talent and I’d love ND to grab him but if they didn’t offer him in HS I’m doubtful they’d circle back unless his tutor at Ohio State was a really good student.

This twitter thread is a great example of how tOSU kept Clemson out of sync. Day & Co found a weak spot in how Venables call plays and exposed it.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I think the way games are broadcasted in general obscured some of Clemson's very real alignment issues against Ohio State for the viewers.
