The battle for starting QB should be interesting.

I think it'll be Stroud when it's all said and done. McCord could probably start for half the teams in the country, and Miller is no slouch either. Ewers is way behind, I really don't see him taking any meaningful snaps this year.

One (or two) of these guys will definitely transfer. Good problem to have. I'm not an OSU guy so I'm certainly not "in the know" but McCord might be the best of the bunch IMO.

Yeah, the NCAA is corrupt and they could/should have seen this day coming and prepared for it a decade ago. Now we are where we are because they kept kicking the can down the road, and there's really no guidelines or legislation at the moment.

College athletics used to be all about the team. Unfortunately, I think we're at the point now where it's "me first" and these kids are only looking out for themselves. Hard to blame them, but it didn't have to be this way. The big schools will still rake in a ton of cash, but it's going to be a lot harder for these coaches. Guys like Ryan Day might just eventually say to hell with it and go coach in the NFL, and I wouldn't blame any of them one bit.

I just can't get on board with the "super conferences" whatsoever. A really good NFL team might go 11-5. Can you imagine a really good college football team with 5 losses? That's where we are heading. Texas will make more money going 5-7 in the SEC than they would going 9-3 in the Big 12. That's fucked.

Been working all over Ohio (regularly going to/working in Cbus, Cleveland, Milan, Toledo, Lima, Dayton, Chillicothe, Cincy, etc) for ~2.5 years and I see no difference anywhere. They all suck.

I cant go two miles on 270 without having the urge to smash someone into the retaining wall or punt someone into the ditch

Welcome to ‘Murica where the honest hard working get bent over time and time again but we’re too busy to do anything about it.

Also true.

I'm too dumb/ignorant to figure out how to get rich, but too smart/proud to mooch off of the government. That being said, it's way better to be a middle class American than live in some place like Bangladesh or whatever.

I still don't understand why central Ohio is so fucking bad at driving. I spent months driving around Cincinnati for work this past winter, and the difference between drivers in Columbus and Cincinnati is night and day.

The problem is, the state doesn’t make money by failing people and they’ll likely drive anyway. Why not license them and let it be insurance’s problem? That’s also why insurance is a shitshow and you have to carry so much extra coverage.

Sad, but true. Win/win for both the gov't and the insurance companies. They get free money, and the competent members of society get fucked by the dipshits. Such is life.

Outside the small group of people who are enthusiasts (on a forum like this), people absolutely do not drive well at all. Our drivers-ed program and license test are both a joke. I lose count daily of the dumb stuff drivers do and am confident saying I avoid at least 2 accidents a week with heads up driving.

Bro, driving in central Ohio is an effing PITA. #4 on the country's worst drivers list, and as someone who has traveled A LOT for work over the years, yeah, Cbus does have awful drivers.

Both of you are 100% correct. Society in general is full of idiot drivers, but central Ohio takes it to the next level of mouth breathing stupidity.

Driver education needs to be much more thorough/challenging and the testing needs to be WAY more strict, and there needs to be a much harsher penalty for causing an accident. Common sense traffic laws are repeatedly broken everywhere you go, and unfortunately the police can't really enforce much more than the obvious cut and dry violations (speed, OVI, failure to control, etc). People stop when they have the right of way, they go when they shouldn't, I mean these are the absolute basics and people are too stupid and oblivious to figure it out.

Any left lane campers who impede the flow of traffic or dumbfucks that are doing 47 mph while merging onto the freeway should be fined $5,000 and forced to serve a year in prison. I'm joking, but not really

Between free transfer, name-image-likeness, super conferences, expanded playoffs, etc.....College football as we all knew it is dying. There's going to be a ton of change over the next decade, and of course it's all money driven. Unfortunately regular season games won't matter nearly as much, and you can say goodbye to regional conferences. I won't even touch the N-I-L stuff because even the schools don't know what the hell to expect yet. But a lot of the great things that made college football unique are going away.

Whatever they do, I just hope they continue to embrace the traditions and pageantry that make college football so good. I don't want it to feel like a professional sport, a junior NFL. Hopefully they will find a way to have 5 conferences of 16 teams, or at least 4 conferences of 20. I don't ever want to see big time D1 football with anything less than 80 teams.

I'll offer my '95 jeep and '89 F150 up for subject matter. I was out of town when the original shoot happened, but if there is another one I'm happy to swing by.

Nice, any pics?

I fucking love it

I could contribute one of these, but I feel like the calendar can do better

I know it's a shitbox calendar, but there's nothing very interesting about a rusty Chevrolet pickup or a stock Ford Fuckass

Solid idea

What's the lineup? Do you guys have 12 yet?

Great show, as usual. I always get so overwhelmed by the amount of cars there, and being so spread out it's near impossible to see everything in one day.

My dad was showing his '57 pickup....

He's selling it for $29k if anyone is interested

I'm not sure good guys/state fair grounds expected as many bodies as were there. There was a total lack of food vendors this year compared to previous years.

I tried to get a corn dog from one of the food trucks around 1:30 on Saturday, and they said they had run out. So I went to another vendor and paid $10 for a few mediocre chicken strips and fries.

It definitely seemed more crowded than a couple years ago.

I came soooooo close to buying a 2020 Rally Green SS 1LE last year, but I got a divorce instead

Just a temporary setback, and sooooo worth it. Once I get back into a house again, I still want to get a 6th gen at some point. I'm happy to see they are offering a metallic orange color starting in '22

Awesome stuff! Thanks for posting. I believe someone posted a bunch of pics from one of the races on the CR facebook page a year or so ago.

I have a framed poster advertising the '86 race. I bought the poster from a guy on craigslist several years back (on the far right in the pic below).....

Since I wasn't even born until '86, I missed out on all the fun. It's hard to believe we were once capable of pulling this off, albeit short lived.

I'd buy this for the SBS bur I don't think I could ever get it sold again..lol

Even if you actually like that ricey god awful tacky shit, what kind of mouth breather would choose to do that to a Buick?

Put that car out of it's misery and crush it.

According to the contact info, the seller's name is Ammonia. They probably inhaled a bunch before making that ad

Awesome shots, but man, that car is wack. Since the guy isn't a member here, I don't feel bad talking shit lol.

Also I'm probably in the minority, but I think white letter tires on a thin sidewall is ricer as fuck.
