    And not even accurate. It claims that tOSU won 15 straight against Illinois in the 90s (that would be hard to do, no?). That streak was from the 60s to 80s. The Buckeyes managed a 5-5 record against the Illini in the 90s.

    Checked in on the 6-6 game to find out that Purdue went up 8-6. https://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=505945 There's still baseball left. Go Illini!

    Kind of, but the difference is he wouldn't give a crap about disrupting some other school as a mercenary. Putting his alma mater and coaching staff in the spin cycle is a different story.

    Well, sure. Forget the Domask argument. Would you rather have Bronny, as a sophomore, or Guerrier... as a sophomore?

    Yup. Looking a lot more doable now than it was part way through the day. Not looking great, but it's not like there are a half dozen teams ahead of them. It's too far to say it's within their control, but it's well within this squad's abilities. Go Illini.

    Second round steals are cool and all, but I wish we could have seen somebody back the truck up for Johnny in an early pick.

    All good, I said "they" because NFL.com did the same thing. There were four EDGE positions listed before Robinson went. There have been quite a few defensive linemen taken already, counting outside guys.

    So, they still sometimes designate DE and not just EDGE. Okay.

    Much better than trying to "hack" it with the lame and wasteful "no salt" move.

    Huh? That's when guys can put their name into the portal (i.e., get their free transfer), not commit/enroll at their new school.

    Where are you interested in going, bud? "Um, the blue schools?"

    I guess Nico was pushed out, too? This is ridiculous. You are implying that his hand was forced. The staff could have brought in three centers and left the remaining spots open, resulting in a non-viable roster. By your reasoning, this would have forced Luke out because the circumstances...

    Maybe we won't play them?? With 35 team/s in the conference, I can't remember.

    While it does feel a bit immature, I can ignore the bad taste in my mouth. There's a decent chance that Chester just did the most tangible positive thing he's ever going to do for WVU. It's pragmatic to toot his own horn over it. I don't think he has the profile (yet) to quietly pretend like...
