pirated it and watched it while working yesterday. save your time, this movie was awful. they're all so damn old that the only thing they can physically do is almost exclusively butt stuff. when it's not butt stuff, it's just recycled clips from previous episodes and movies.

huge waste of time

My wallet would like to see Bama easily cover the -27.5 I’ve got hanging out there.

projected as the 3rd string at best as of today and has yet to log more than a handful of practices before getting injured in the Spring. Lots and lots of wishcasting my dude.

Sure, he could be great, but he's a reclassify and apparently dealing with a nagging injury. Let's pump the brakes a little.

I think Cover brings some good, albeit lengthy discussions to the board. I just don't share the optimism that our offense is all of a sudden going to be UW 2023-esque. I'm hopeful we will see some improvements on balls down the field, specifically outside the hashes but I'd rather see the proof before doubling down that it's going to be there before camp even starts.

Hell, anything is going to be an improvement over last year, though. It's still baffling how Ty was so good at every level of throwing the ball but absolutely could not connect on anything downfield.

Posted by bamabenny on 8/3/26 at 11:00 am to Cover1Key

I don't think anyone disagrees that an efficient downfield passing game would subsequently open up the running game, but we're wishcasting that all of a sudden being a successful part of the offense in 2026.

Also - if our special teams aren't substantially better, we're going to be playing behind the 8 ball on field position all year (again).

While I think this team could surprise a lot of people, I just don’t share the same optimism about the OL. Would love to be wrong, though.

DL should be improved, LB is a big question mark and the secondary is going to be special.

Another thing we haven’t mentioned much is how awful we’ve been on special teams. Our punting unit has been downright terrible since JK Scott left. We were losing field position battles by 15-20 yards in trading punting possessions.

Just don’t see us holding on to him for a full cycle. Would love to be wrong though.

Unfortunately Indiana's schedule has typically been built to try to best get them to 6 wins and a bowl game. They never really had expectations beyond that. Its embarrassing for a national championship winning program to still schedule like this though. The other powerhouse big ten teams do typically try to play a big time out of conference opponent each year.

A seemingly rational Buckeye fan? What the hell?

Did the Monster Jam with my son last year and he absolutely loved it. Will be back the next time they come in town and I'd recommend buying the club level tickets to give you an inside area to escape to when needed, was well worth it.
