Other Sports: NCAA Thread v12

Eagles fan from the area. Went to Kansas State to play for Wentz’s college coach. Played well enough to get noticed by OSU.

Yeah, I looked it up. He chose KSU, in part, because he saw Wentz's picture in the coach's office during his recruitment interview and they chatted about Wentz. Being a PA guy and fan of the Eagles, he also liked Wentz because they were similarly sized and he looked up to him as a role model.

Imagine losing to an actual OSU QB

Herbie’s crying on air.

Herbstreit absolutely sucks at this point. I didn’t mind him previously but the last two years he’s been brutal. He’s basically college football’s John Smoltz at this point.

I don't mind Herbstreit. He went against OSU during the Meyer controversy. Actually had to move out of Ohio to Kentucky due to constant harassment of his family for taking an anti-Urban stand. He has a son that is graduating from H.S. this year who chose to go to Michigan. KH went to OSU and so did his Father so he has strong ties to the school. He's personal friends with the Day family.
Having all that being said, I listened to his OSU broadcasts and, IMO, he's pretty much down the road. He gave ND all of the credit that they deserved during the game. The Irish were simply out manned by OSU. Willingham made some questionable decisions which happens when you don't have the horses to run in the race. Herbstreit called him on them.

Chip was right (to go to Columbus).

Chip was right is an evergreen statement.

Ohio State was the most talented roster in college football. I'm not shocked to see them take advantage of an expanded playoff format and win it all. I got a kick out of the expanded playoff narrative that it would expand the field to a potential non-traditional champion, when all it really did was give a bunch of blue bloods a second chance at the playoffs where they would have been out in years past. None of these final four teams would have been in a four-team playoff.

I'm interested to see where the rev sharing piece goes once DC gets their say. 20-million-dollar rosters are not going to be sustainable when the NIL collective contributors realize that their $100 a month is subsidizing the whole thing and keeping the university profits at an all-time high.
