Little help for a wildcat traveling abroad re OSU

I am in Switzerland with family over the holiday. Just realized that I will not be able to watch the game online with YouTube TV, because you must be in the US to use youtube TV. I do not know how to use a VPN, but that seems to be the only option to make it work. Any other suggestions to make this work? Thanks in advance. GO BIG BLUE

A local woman in Midland MI aka the Roof Ninja found living in a grocery store sign for over a year

I was shocked when they got her to come out. Young, fit, not batsh*t crazy, kept a tidy home, and ate a nutritionally sound diet. LOL

She even had a Keurig. LOL

Cracked me up when the maintenance guy said, "I swear to God, she's got FLOORING in there." LOL

Let's Talk Wide Receivers

I know it's tough to rely on unproven players (Brock) last year. That being said I feel really good about Hardley Gilmore. If he hadn't been injured I'd bet he would have been much more involved in the offense. Add Law, Maclin and Farrier, and Hester. That is a solid five deep I think, with some upside. Law would provide us some spark. I think we would enjoy the trade of consistancy and tenacity with Law over Brown. We lose the alpha with Key for sure, but that is college football. While we are on the topic of pass catching.....if Dowdell joins the backfield with Wilcox, who would be our receiving back? Seems like Washington has made some traction in the room. Let's see if he can coach them up!

Now that we fully understand college football is professional

Here is how I would build my team. Recruit only highly ranked players - and the best of the best. If we only sign 5 guys - thats ok - get the 5 best ones! Hopefully that number might be as high as 10 - probably never more than that number. Have 6 guys on staff whose total job is to evaluate all of the college players playing each year. Plan on bringing in 30 or so new players every year. Focus on the portal! Hopefully you find 10 to 15 key new players in the portal every year. By the third year you should have 15 solid high school recruits playing on your team, 10 solid 3rd year transfers, 15 solid second year transfers and 20 solid first year transfers. The rest of your roster will be made up from those who haven't quit or transfered out. That's the model.

Next hire the best technical and teaching coaches you can. Make recruiting for them a non issue. Have the 6 evaluators bringing their selections to campus to check out everything, meet the position coaches and be sold on the program by the coaches they will be playing for! The Head coach needs to be the leas salesman along with the co-ordinators and the positions coaches. Let those great coaches show them how we will make them all conference and future pros.

This will require a huge budget - $100 million or more. So......................

Finally, have fund raising efforts going all the time. Recruit big companies for sponsorships all over the place - every major company who operates in the entire state of Kentucky has to be gone after for support. Every alumnus who heads or has successful businesses around the world need to lined up also. Have every yard marker sponsored, every section, every light pole - lol - sell sponsorships to everything. Then raise prices just like the pros do. You will have a winning team - the poor folks like me who have been fans will still be fans - we will just be watching from home as we don't want to spend $1,500 a game to be seen at the stadium or need huge tax deductions. After all those 100 inch TV's can now be bought for $1,500! All the games will be on TV anyway. That leaves more money in your pocket to support the team by buying logo things to wear.

Go Big Blue!
