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.

My bag:

Taylor Made R7 (x-stiff).
Taylor Made Burner 2 irons (stiff)
Cleveland Wedges (gap and 60)
Odyssey two ball putter (white)

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By billchao ·

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.

      He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
