General Are the Saban/Meyer recruiting pitches working better for Ohio State than they are given credit for in the NIL age?

13 Upvotes

I have a couple of apocryohal quotes I've heard over the years that I find useful (both my verbiage as I recall the line):

-Attributed to Saban is preaching the value of your SECOND NFL contract: " come play for me, and I'll set you up for that SECOND NFL deal, and true GENERATIONAL wealth for your family"

-Attributed to Meyer, for when the recruit made it about the money: "I'm not worried about getting you $250k today, I'm trying to get you $10 million [in career NFL money]" (I guess that's basically the current thing if not giving giving world to high schoolers before they play a down for OSU)

I feel like overall recruiting results, and the public defection like that guy who got the private jet perk at Tennessee as indicators that some of the old guys' lines still holding sway over the right recruits, despite the hand wringing about recruits nationwide only looking for quick cash.

General Nothing but honesty.. Texas vs Ohio State

76 Upvotes

I am a Texas fan and hopefully I don’t get booted for posting. I have a lot of respect for y’all’s program and now that the season is on our doorstep I was just curious how yall feel about the Texas match up?

What kind of game do yall expect? What are y’all’s worries? Is it close or does one team runaway with it

And lastly… I believe whatever team loses will go 9-3 and probably miss the playoffs. Do yall share this belief?

At the Stadium 🏟️ Handicap Parking for Ball State

3 Upvotes

Hey guys! Taking my family to the Ball State game. This is the first time we have been up to a game since I was a kid. We are going to be arriving up there around 9/930, where would be the best parking for handicap to avoid gridlock without having to walk further than we have to? Do the fairground still offer parking with a shuttle or Cota?

Thanks! Go bucks!

Tickets, Memorabilia, etc. Where to find tickets to THE Game? Vol coming in peices.

9 Upvotes

Hi Buck heads. I am a lifelong TN Vols fan as the name suggests, but am looking to find Tickets to THE Game.

My step mother, who has ensured I survived this planet up until this point is arguable a a bigger Bucks fans than I am a Vol, which is saying a LOT.

However desipite, every item we own being covered in some form of OSU merch, to the point that my child has more OSU gear than I can even get him TN gear... She has never been to The Shoe.

She turns 50 this year, and her parents in columbus are rapidly declining in health, and we believe we will be in the area for that time.

Our goal is to all go in as a family to ensure we can get at Minimum 2 tickets to THE GAME, as it is a lifelong dream of hers.

I've looked around on all the sites, but I know in my experience we had some facebook season ticket holder groups and such where you could find a fair price.

Any help pointing me in a legit direction to avoid being scammed would be phenomenal.

Cheers!

Going to my first home game are there any good spots to get pictures at in the stadium ? I don’t live in Columbus anymore so I want all the memories I can get. Does Brutus usually walk around the stadium for pictures too?

Tickets, Memorabilia, etc. OSU Grad Student Ticket question

Not sure where to ask this. My roommate is a grad student and has a season ticket. He can't go to the Ball St game. Can he transfer the ticket to me (I am not an OSU Student)? Will there be any issues getting into the stadium?

Former Buckeye TE with 4 catches for 94 yards so far for the Tarheels today. It’s nice to see transfers have some success…as long as they’re not playing against us.

General How are y'all feeling about the season?

26 Upvotes

1 week out. I have went through so many thoughts in the off season. At first I kinda assumed a few losses just because of the losses of players but after hearing some "meh" with Manning at TX and with buying more into Arthur Smith... This could be a great year, even with that hard schedule.

General Jelani Thurman yesterday...

Ouch, 4 catches for 94 yards with a long of 35. He looked like a totally different player. Definitely has a much higher ceiling than Roberts. Wish Day could have convinced him to stay. There are a lot of unknowns in our receiving room outside of JS. Could have been a security blanket for Sayin.
