Used to be (and still are at some locations) they were specific to a certain science or study. Any more, they are reservoirs for the Mother Ship with first and second year locals. And also reservoirs for the kids who can’t get onto main campus their freshman year. It’s a lot tougher to get into OSU main campus your freshman year than it used to be. That’s one of the reasons my son didn’t go there (even though hubby and I are both alumni) and we live 2 miles from the Horseshoe. On game day, you can hear the 3rd down bell on my front porch, and around 10:00 am on game day, we see the police escort with the opposing team buses heading down High St.

Has literally nothing to do with grades...more for college selection. My niece was looking to get into the fine arts school. The response was: go to Newark for two years, then apply for a transfer. She went to Bowling Green instead.
November 30, 20195 yr comment_1604718 Chase is looking OK so far. (Haven't had a real chance to sit down and watch---been grilling and popping off burgers at the pub.)

DJ got told the same thing, but OSU didn’t have his major in undergrad and he had smaller schools with the program he wanted in undergrad and they offered him nice scholarships to go to their schools so that’s how he wound up at ODU.
December 1, 20195 yr comment_1604756 Like I said, was sort of busy with the hosting thing at the pub...so couldn't sit and watch St Chase the Young very closely. in the few snippets though, he looked good. Wasn't able to get free on a lot of rushes--noticed he was doubled in those snippets, so figure that was full game scheme against him. But, he was pushing the double team backwards, indicating he has more strength than I had been giving him credit for. Still the best college defensive player without question.

Box scores show all zeroes with two quarterback hurries. But still the best college football player of the year which is why the Bengals won't draft him. Well, if the get the chance. Which I am starting to doubt. Today's scoreboard watch... Go Washington over Carolina. Go Miami over Philadelphia Go Arizona over Rams Go Denver over Chargers And fuck the Stealers. And Browns.

I'll settle for Maker Bayfield and Jar Jar Binks Shrimper announcing their engagement at half time at midfield after a coin flip to see which one gets down on their knees first.

With the way he can run and with his all out hustle, that cat was born to be a NFL LB, IMO. Kid has had fantastic coaching since the day he stepped on a HS football field, he'll be fine. Are we talking about 260 lb. Sam Hubbard playing LB? I'm guessing that would mean he's a 2 down linebacker then move him to DE on rush downs? I think if you play Hubbard at LB every offense in the league would get him matched up against a RB or TE and I don't think that's a favorable match up for us. I think our best bet is to actually sign a LB in FA (I know the chances of that are slim) or draft one without reaching (also slim). Sam is actually a decent DE and I think he'd be a well below average linebacker. I know some will say he played safety in High School and LB is freshman year...but when someone's body changes a lot of the times their position does as well.
December 1, 20195 yr comment_1604768 Put Hubbard at LB? Sounds like a solid idea Mr. Brown, I will get right on it.

Uh I didn't say that they SHOULD move him to LB. I just said that I think he'd do really well there if they did move him. Smart, great hustle, fast and he could easily drop a little weight. Not saying it's ideal, but it definitely wouldn't be some big struggle for him, IMO.
December 1, 20195 yr comment_1604840 With all the glaring needs this team has, I think Andy Dalton is serviceable enough at age 32, to at least let him finish out the last year of his contract next season. I like the idea of trading down for multiple picks.

December 2, 20195 yr comment_1604849 The more I watch Lamar Jackson the more I want to draft Justin Fields. I wouldn't be upset with Burrow at all, but my "dream scenario" right now is Chase Young this year and Justin Fields next.

I looked at my friends and said season over
December 2, 20195 yr comment_1604853 Fields will be the best player in the draft next year. Gonna be tough to get the #1 overall pick two years in a row though.

Won't be that hard if you start trash like Dalton for another year. Gotta laugh at the comment that he is "serviceable enough."
December 2, 20195 yr comment_1604855 The ideal scenario might be to trade #1 (or 2) to the Dolphins for at least three picks, preferably all three first rounders, and take the Best OT, a 1st rd LB, and at the bottom of the round, Take Tua. Keep Andy for another year, and let Tua get healthy.
December 2, 20195 yr Author comment_1604856 Uh, you realize Dalton will cost 17.5 million in 2020. Dalton plays well at home against one of the worst teams in the NFL and the dumbest fans in the league now want him back in 2020. You can't make this up.

I could see 8+ rookies making this team.
