It’s been at least five years since a Bay Area team blew a championship lead this badly.

That Clemson scoring drive was faster than Johnny Manziel’s NFL career.

A little red zone efficiency and OSU was already in the championship game. Now it’s a dogfight.

Scoops Callahan has been doing this bit for like 15 years and it never has and never will get old.

Or not.

If you look up “trap game” in the dictionary, you’ll see next week’s Ohio State at Northwestern game. Not that OSU is in any trouble, but it might be a sloppy one ahead of the Wisconsin game.

Unless Baker Mayfield broke his hand in the handshake and it explains why he’s so terrible now, I’m sick of hearing about that incident. It’s just not an interesting story, especially in light of how that game went.

Woof, rough day for The Athletic. I have no words for how bad this article is.

To Americans, what’s happening in Hong Kong is about an erosion of free speech and oppression. But to the Chinese, it isn’t, which is why Daryl Morey’s tweet was so problematic for the NBA and the billions of dollars it gets from China. @TheAthleticNBA https://t.co/OSv6x1bIgh

@cavs @CavsFredMcLeod That’s a voice that I’ll really, really miss hearing. One of the few announcers who always seemed to be genuinely thrilled by what he was calling.

[Ryan Cooper @RyanCooperOSU]

@cavs @CavsFredMcLeod What a heartbreaking thing to see. RIP Fred

Interesting pronunciation of “Rick Pitino”.

Thad Matta on D'Angelo Russell: "Right before signing day in November [2013], the cheating bastards started coming out offering his family money. Lots of money. He stayed true to his word. And I told him, you're going to get it on the back end, my man. Trust me."

Urban: I had to fire Smith for domestic violence

Ford: ........

Urban: Look at these uniforms!!!

[Joey Kaufman @joeyrkaufman]

Scanning through this. A lot of the text messages involved in the document dump are redacted or involve communication with recruits. After Zach Smith was fired in late July 2018, Urban Meyer messaged five-star receiver prospect Kyle Ford:

[Kevin Stankiewicz @kevin_stank]

Scanning the Ohio State email/text dump, and found this one in which Urban Meyer appears to propose leaking that Alabama tried to hire Greg Schiano, Alex Grinch and Zach Smith.

Consistently my favorite non-Indians player during his career. Congratulations and RIP.

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]

Roy Halladay is one of the greatest pitchers of his generation

🔹 First to throw perfect game and no-hitter in same season
🔹 Threw no-hitter in postseason debut, only 2nd in playoff history
🔹 One of six pitchers to win Cy Young in both leagues

A legend in Cooperstown forever

[Ryan Cooper @RyanCooperOSU]

Giving hope to all of us who have never hit a 3-pointer in an NBA game.

@ChrisVannini Oof

[Ryan Cooper @RyanCooperOSU]

I’m pretty sure the combined age of all the assistants the Cavs interviewed was still less than Beilein. Still, he’s a great coach.

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

Michigan’s John Beilein has agreed to a five-year deal to become coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, league sources tell ESPN.
