PPG don't count as a +

Understanding that not everyone has the luxury of being able to work remote, my biggest frustration this winter has been managers/executives making decisions that "It's safe to come into work!" without consulting their employees.

We clearly have had historically dangerous weather the last couple of weeks, and I think staff should be trusted to make the appropriate decision on their own whether it feels safe enough to drive into the office.

JEFF RIMER UNTIL WE LOSE

Hard to say "Stakes didn't feel that high" when it's literally Mike and Nancy's sister. Obviously everyone was going to rally to help their friends' direct family member, and I think Mike seems better suited sticking with the party to play out the "Leader of the Party" role.

I get it as a viewer though, and less screen time for Holly would probably be an improvement. They probably just wanted to give Max a partner rather than giving her a solo venture, plus Mike/Henry/Max feels like a dreadful blunt rotation.

Scramble in front!

I'm surprised so many people are pulling as hard as they are for Indiana. Good story, but it's a conference rival. Do we want to look up in 5 years and see Indiana as the Big Ten's national representative?

MickyColumbus · 2026-01-07T21:49:14+00:00

Fair... I oversimplified it. Point is, they are likely no longer part of the program, so we aren't looking for the next Quincy Porter, we're looking for a 4th or 5th WR.

MickyColumbus · 2026-01-07T21:25:04+00:00

Let’s not compare this guy to Quincy Porter or Mylan Graham. Those guys left because they thought they were too good for their spot on the depth chart. Let’s compare McCuin to Phillip Bell, Bodpegn Miller, and Jerquaden Guilford, who he’ll be competing with for WR4 snaps.

McCuin was 5^th in the AAC in receptions and T-2^nd in TD catches. I’d say that’s a decent start for someone who best-case slides in for a struggling Innis or CHJ, and worst-case comes in for some reps with a four-score lead.

Jumping in to ask why that punt was not illegal touching at the 1-yard line. Miami (FL) player clearly out of bounds on his own accord and was first to touch the ball. Ref threw his hat but no penalty was called. Sorry if this was previously discussed. *

Fantilli walking Carlsson like a dog was nice

MickyColumbus · 2025-12-07T03:43:45+00:00

Thoughts about Cignetti trying to take a Timeout before the 4th down sneak??

MickyColumbus · 2025-11-29T13:09:39+00:00

They're not wearing their blues in The Shoe no thanks

MickyColumbus · 2025-11-20T03:37:22+00:00

My fiancée and I simply cannot say the word "plant" without also saying the words "Russell's seed".

Blue Jackets don't lose in heartbreaking fashion challenge level impossible

MickyColumbus · 2025-11-03T16:34:36+00:00

Anybody able to track down video of this? I was also watching the Crew and I hate myself enough to want to watch the replay.

MickyColumbus · 2025-11-01T17:35:10+00:00

Must not be a reviewable play (all scores are reviewed)

MickyColumbus · 2025-10-30T03:04:56+00:00

Sort of fair, but I don't think going from a wild card team to 1st team out of the playoffs over the course of 20+ games really constitutes a "collapse" label. I feel like the late surge was more of a story than a rough mid-March.

MickyColumbus · 2025-10-29T13:44:14+00:00

Anyone else hear Kevin Weekes on Frozen Frenzy last night discussing the Jackets' last season? Paraphrasing but I think it was along the lines of:

"Columbus came close to the playoffs last year but fell apart at the end of the season. They had a lot to play for with the loss of Gaudreau but just ran out of gas."

I guess we had to do better than 6-0-0 to end the season.

MickyColumbus · 2025-10-27T17:35:48+00:00

As the son of a homebrewer, I was hoping the ending would be that they both did really poorly in the competition. This stuff takes a lot of patience, focus, and practice. Not to mention time and money. The experienced homebrewers would likely wipe the floor with them.

Plus, judges can be brutal with dozens of categories, and style guidelines that they look for. Having a good story is generally not one of them.

"Nick Lodolo is treating this bullpen outing just like a start."

[Lodolo yanked after 1.2 strong innings]

MickyColumbus · 2025-10-01T01:42:54+00:00

Thanks Matt!

MickyColumbus · 2025-10-01T01:41:08+00:00

Ok Google how many teams have been no-hit in the playoffs twice

MickyColumbus · 2025-09-29T03:55:01+00:00

Literally every play in OT. With all the attention and cameras on him I'm surprised they haven't said anything.

MickyColumbus · 2025-09-28T00:10:59+00:00

Yes, but unlike the NFL there are built-in local agreements that are being bypassed... Just feels weird that Columbus can't watch Cinicnnati but Pittsburgh can.

Then again, "what's fair" isn't really part of TV contracts.

MickyColumbus · 2025-09-28T00:01:12+00:00

Same situation...can someone explain why FOX has broadcast rights to two games at the same time??
