His wife’s family is in Arkansas and might have been the difference. If Morris was our second choice I’m still good with it and the more I read the more I think we got the better of the two.
The OL needs to open holes for the running backs. If they can do that, Flores looks more than capable. If they can't, we weren't going to have a successful season anyway. Hejny's speed might have masked some of those issues but you can't be successful if the running backs are constantly met with...
I haven't been to an away game in years but I think the distance is more of a factor than last year's results tbh. Fans who travel largely go for the experence not necessarily based on whether we expect to win. I think it will a decent OSU crowd but not like a bowl game or a game that is...
One of the best idea's of read is to require buyouts when higher level programs poach from lower level programs. So if an FCS player transfers to an FBS G5 school, the FBS G5 school pays like $50K to the FCS school. If an FBS G5 or FCS player moves to P4 then it's $100K. And as much as I hate it...
I'm glad I've hit an age where OSU football is not the top of my hobbies list. It was already monumentally difficult to compete with the bluebloods but there was always the possibility of an OSU 2011 or TCU 2022 type year. That will never happen again. I don't think a Big 12 team will ever make...
How much of this is being funded by money raised at the concert? I doubt we can pull that off every year. Would be nice to have another Boone type but create an endowment to pay players through annual distributions.
Gundy had it right when he said they need contracts. It’s why pros aren’t year to year free agents. With some formalization coming from the settlement I’d like to see these payment deals be at least 2 year contracts or for them to have provisions that make transfer every year less attractive...
That NIL number is probably meaningless. I assume these guys were commodities and the fact that we landed them tells me there is NIL money in the coffer. Maybe out of expected revenues from the big concerts this weekend?
I really thought he'd be a big scorer this year but it didn't play out. I'd prefer to keep him but I'd much rather find a way to keep Dean. His defense got a lot better throughout the year and his offense had a lot of potential.
