I'm pretty sure Hillman is the first kid UM has landed with a committable OSU offer since maybe Keon Sabb or Jimmy Rolder in the fall/winter of 2021. As I think about it, I'm not sure any of UM's other commits in the 22 class even had fake OSU offers.
Just got a new car battery installed at Walmart and the smell of the Subway that is in that store just permeates to every square inch of the store no matter how far away you are. So gross.[/user]
Those are fire emoji for sure. I'll never forget one of Ohio State's best baseball seasons in recent memory was in like 2010. WE played Florida State in the Super Regional and lost like 32-3. That was pretty humbling.
I’m not sure when I last had Subway. I used to have to get Herb Jr. a sub any time we ordered Chinese because he used to refuse to eat Chinese and Subway was right next to the takeout. Even he gave up on them.
They are off to a good start under their new coach this year. They've won 8 of 9 and have beaten Oklahoma (last year's National runner-up) and Mississippi State (national champs in 2021).
I used to work with a guy who was a huge LSU baseball fan and would always try to get people to watch the CWS with him. The rest of us were always like, dude, it’s early June and the weather is perfect. No one is watching that with you.
Herb Jr. also eats Indian now and has given up upon insisting he gets Jets Pizza when we get Indian, but I still like Jets.
May I tell you about my lunch? I took a tortilla put a squiggle line of sour cream and Chick Fila sauce, filled it with left over cilantro lime rice and chile relleno casserole and wrapped that bitch up like a burrito.
They haven’t made it to the Elite 8 since 1993, when they had Olympian Katie Smith as a freshman. They were runner up that year.
Yep, like yaywaffles mentioned, Swoopes set an NCAA title game record with 47 points and Ohio State lost 84-82.
Trivia Question: Since 1980, an Ohio State basketball player has scored 40 or more points in a game 4 times. Can you names the three players who did it?
Follow up bonus question, since 1980, only 6 players have averaged more than 20 PPG. Can you name the 5 players who did it? Hint: Herb Williams only averaged 17.6 in 1980, so cross him off your lists.
The 40 or more has one Thad Matta era player, and two from the 1980’s. The 20 PPG has players who did it under 5 different coaches, one of whom did it under two coaches and averaged 29 a game under the second coach. This guy was selected 3 overall in the NBA draft.
The most Russell scored in a game at OSU was 33 against Northwestern. He also averaged 19.3, below our threshold.
I'm old enough to remember the rumors of Sullinger's preseason practices against Baylor when he scored 40 in like 15 minutes of practice.
Dennis Hopson scored 40 or more twice, in 1985 against Cleveland State and 1986 against Dayton. He averaged over 20 a game in both 1985-86 under Eldon Miller and 1986-87 under Gary Williams. He averaged 29.0 PPG in 1986-87, then was drafted 3 overall.
