Starting this topic early, but it's never too early!

Excited to see how well Ohio State does this year. The defense should be really good this year. We return a lot of production on the D-Line.

The headline for this GIF is, "When seven are incapable of blocking five, you're in deep trouble".  :-D

Maybe the only D-Line better than OSU this year is Clemson. They might have 3 top 15 picks in next years NFL draft!

Pretty patsy schedule (as usual, sorry) so I’m sure they’ll do just fine. TCU and PennSt of late are good ball games. MI/MSU a total throw up at this point. My game of choice would be to open with OSU vs UCF. I don’t buy the National Champ nonsense they’ve run with as SoS is critical in NCAA football.

OSU plays 3 teams that were in the top 15 as of the final AP poll last season, 2 of those on the road (Penn St. and MSU) and one at a neutral location (TCU). 

I dont consider playing 3 top 15 teams all away from home to be a pasty schedule. It might not be a top notch SEC schedule, but its not terribly weak IMO.

Well PennSt would be the only ‘strong kudos’ win of those 3, and PennSt lost SB to the NFL. MSU as I said is a mystery but I doubt they’ll be of any force this year. It’ll be interesting, but most likely OSU will gain their ‘spot’ by blowing out cupcakes...and hopefully not get humiliated (Iowa) again. That was ugly.

They don’t play Iowa this year. 

As for schedule, Big Ten did only lose one game in the bowls last year. The Big Ten east is going to be a gauntlet this year. 

It isn’t like the other playoff contenders have tough schedules except ND.

This is true...damn good bowl performance for sure. I know they don’t play Iowa...I meant hopefully they don’t have another fluke happen like it did with Iowa.

Losing by 34 (iir) is not a fluke-- that is a whoopin'

Whoopin's can be flukes

The stars aligned. The QB played a Big Ben All Pro type of game. He had a 6'5" 265 defensive end grabbing his legs, trying to take him down, and he flicks a fade route to a perfect spot. This was the prototypical, every player played out of their minds. The game calling was perfect. They obviously stole the OU playbook that worked really well against OSU earlier in the season.  There are some places you do not want to play, and it is at Iowa, when they are the underdog. It's shocking how some places can develop a history of upsets.

I agree. Everything went wrong for OSU and Iowa would’ve given any team in the country a run that day. It happens in all sports...I mean ...Danny Willet wins the Masters? Lol.

As a football coach for the past 16 years I can honestly say you never really know what can happen when your dealing with a group of kids. Granted kids at that level should know better but they don't. They are still kids and they still make kid mistakes. And on top of that...they are not anywhere near as tough as previous generations. They get by on great athletic ability and don't think they need to know the basics. Once things start going bad....they tend to blame someone else. It's an unfortunate byproduct of our ever changing generations character decline.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
