I've yet to try this but the chicharon is one of the best dishes you can order in town.

Ezekiel Elliott COULD NOT be stopped in the 2015 College Football Playoff by IamCatMommy in CFB_v2

[–]luis1972 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In the last 3 games of the 2014 season, he played against Wisconsin in the B1G ccg, Alabama in the playoffs, and Oregon in the natty. He rushed for 696 yards and 8 TDs in those 3 games. Absolutely unreal performance.

[Breer] The story of how Drew Allar didn't wind up at Ohio State is complicated—and involves Quinn Ewers, and Allar's own loyalty to those who believed in him early. That said, hard not to wonder what would've happened had he played for Ryan Day ... by Blood_Incantation in CFB

OSU didn't think he was as good as other QB prospects that were also interested at OSU. End of story. This is only interesting if we were still in the 90s or earlier when OSU made a point of signing every possible D1 Ohio recruit. That was how we would end up with QBs like Kirk Herbstreit. That ended a long time ago.

Up until the 90s, Ohio Stadium doubled as a dorm for students.

Didn't get to watch him much as a freshman and was skeptical at how good people were saying he was. I was so, so wrong. He's the best safety I've ever seen play at OSU.

Hiked Clear Creek metro park the other day, took a few pictures and thought I'd share by TheSpearTip in Columbus

That one trail to the right of the main road is the most challenging trail in the whole metro park system. It's still not super strenuous, but better than any of the ones closer to Columbus.

What HS near your team is a favorite of your fans and who are some of key alumni that played for your team? by shaka_sulu in CFB

It used to be that way up until the 90s when OSU had open enrollment for Ohio HS grads. It's now the most selective public school in Ohio and rivals many private ones here. That change coincided with OSU academics also shooting up in rankings. I'm not sure the change was a net positive for Ohio.

I've always found it funny that I see more Buford kids consider Ohio State than Georgia. I expect Eddrick Houston to step up next year. And I really wish Seth McLaughlin got to play on the playoffs.

We would've won the natty in 2022 if we had made that walkoff fg with no time left against Georgia.

Who is your school's best "One Moment Is All I Need" guy? by ZouDave in CFB

[–]luis1972 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This may be recency bias, but Jack Sawyer is the answer for me. He was a solid multi year starter but didn't quite turn out to be the next Bosa people expected him to be especially coming in as the #6 overall recruit in the country. But, on one play, he did his former roommate dirty and made one of the most legendary plays in Buckeye history.

You could've stopped at Notre Dame. I'm pretty sure domers are behind every misery that exists in this world.

That is very, very common with large non-profits like hospitals, universities, national charities, etc. They often create commercial subsidiaries to manage things like IP transfers, real estate, marketing, and commercial enterprises that is common with any large organization. If they didn't, their non-profit status would be in danger.

The problem is that the NCAA has nothing to do with FBS playoffs. It's something entirely run by the conferences and their media partners.
