• All-time piece on strength coach Rob Glass came out yesterday in the WSJ – stories about Barry Sanders, Chuba Hubbard, and this quote from Emmanuel Ogbah were staples. 

“Oh my gosh, I’m still having nightmares about the stadiums,” Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah said. After running stairs, Glass would compound the punishment by having the players do squats with heavy weights.

• It’s apparently not an issue, but athletic director Chad Weiberg is working without a contract in place as his initial contract has expired. 

While no specifics were given by the university as to why (Chad Weiberg’s contract) was allowed to lapse without a new deal in place, both Weiberg and the office of new OSU president Jim Hess voiced support for the direction of the athletic department with Weiberg at the helm.

• It’s a video game, but still, the fact that OSU won three or four games 50 percent of the time was wild. Even crazier: three times OSU lost to FCS Southeast (UT-Martin) and just one more time did OSU beat Oregon on the road. (PFB)

Through the 100 sims, OSU won three games more than any other number, going 3-9 on 26 occasions. The Cowboys won four games in 24 sims and five games in 20. So, the game gives OSU a 70% chance to fall somewhere between three and five wins. It gives OSU an 18% chance to finish with six to eight wins and a 12% chance to finish with one or two wins. [PFB]
