Bucky's an idiot. He better get some size and stop his pressure nonsense.

How many blue bloods are there - 6, 8? And almost all those reside in two conferences, correct? College football isn’t just about my team so those teams from 10 to 25 scheduling each other in non-conference is important. I prefer home and home games in non-conference with smaller playoff pools. In this environment I don’t care for rematches in college football. The finality makes for more personal, intense games. That is a respectable schedule, but Illinois and Nebraska aren’t terribly difficult and Iowa has limitations. And Michigan the past two years has been rather pedestrian. I’d wager if you removed everyone’s toughest non-conference game, the Tx State/UTSA schedule would rank top 10 in terms of difficulty. They should not be threats but are better competition than we played last year.

"Not Good" is my official take

OL – Encouraged LOL LMAO BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, I'm in the bath room right now, CJ, and I dunna want to talk about it.👀

Yep, that's where I come out. Lots of talent, but not a ton of known commodities coming out of the spring due to injuries.

S-concerned but hopeful

A&M was getting smoked in the college portal Smart of them to pivot. More than one or two ways to build a roster annually Aggies have the NIL juice ... they should be an NCAA Tournament level team yearly

Let me know where y'all fall on each room.

Bless Billy's heart.

Bringing in elite replacements.

@hookem1014thanks for posting.

@GoHorns1 @HookemDTX “Y’all are debating the dictionary more than the roster. If ‘reload’ means keeping stars, then no. If it means bringing in elite replacements, then yes. Either way, those five freshmen are the ammo in the reload, so you’re basically agreeing without realizing it.”

You don't need to worry about Ohio State's schedule @ Texas (#6) @ Indiana (#5) vs Illinois (#33) @ USC (#13) vs Oregon (#2) @ Nebraska (#37) @ Iowa (#22) vs Michigan (#14) This is about fans wanting their programs (there are Ohio State fans like this as well) to schedule Ball State, Texas State, & UTSA as their OOC opponents to make it as easy as possible because they can't make a freaking 12 team playoff without it being hand fed to them.

If you want to play three rivalry games, play Michigan three times.

I'm not trying to alienate myself, you guys have all been very kind to me, and I can't wait to make it down there in a few months. However, despite what BC said, I don't think this schedule is very tough at all, outside of the one B1G team that you play.

"Arthur Smith is the opposite of what y'all's team wants" Obviously this isn't true or Ryan Day would not have hired him. It is also not cope, I have watched every single snap of Ohio State football since 1998. Hartline is the best WR recruiter in the history of the sport, Hartline is one of the best WR coaches in the history of the sport. Brian Hartline was an inexperienced offensive coordinator who struggled with play calling. If you want to say that Ohio State's WR recruiting will dip in the future, that might be true. If you want to say Ohio State's WR's won't be as well coached in the future, that might be true. Ohio State's offensive identity and play calling will be much better under Arthur Smith.

It is not "help" when you have the league schedule we do, which consists of three rivalry games every year on top of the mix of the SEC. What is "help" is having the luxury of playing an Iowa, a Northwestern, a Purdue, etc. on a regular basis.

That’s cope. Arthur Smith is the opposite of what y’all’s team wants. He is run heavy, always has been when y’all’s strength is QB and WRs specifically.

It's a 12 team playoff brother, how much help do you need to make the playoff lol

Wanting to maximize an opportunity to play for a national championship is not an "excuse." The notion is that you schedule a softer OOC slate so you can schedule an Ohio State or whoever in the playoff.
