Thanks for running that! Very interesting. They look balanced to me. Every three years, you re-set it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 I absolutely hate how games are scheduled so far in advance. Last year showed that teams can easily schedule on short notice. There's no reason they can't schedule 2 seasons in advance and be able to keep up with trends of who is good and who isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In conference, yeah I agree. I understand why they do non conference games that far in advance though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am excited for that series, even though I think 10 years is too far in advance. Who knows, by that time, that could be to see who the best program in the state is. ND will probably be on a 15 year losing streak in big bowl games, and we'll be coming off our best decade ever. There aren't any other programs in the state worth discussing as the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to be one of the worst QB classes in the B1G in a while. Penix would be on top a lot of years, but there's a huge gap between 1 and 2. Some guys on the list with potential, but Mertz is #2, and he was brutal the last 5 games last season. Averaged 172 yards and had 2 TDs and 5 interceptions. I know Wisconsin's game isn't to air the ball out, but Mertz at 2 shows how far the B1G group of QBs has to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a GED the exact same thing as a HS diploma in the eyes of a college? I, too, would like to know how it all works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all colleges allow students with a GED to get in. I'm sure the OSU admissions department will look over his application with a fine tooth comb. Testing out of classes depends on the school. Mine doesn't, but some do. A little donation by OSU to his high school, and I'm sure they will offer them too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
