Bullets Rundown

• Offseason Questions
• Collin Clay News
• Rutgers Rumors Persist

OSU Bullets

• Jenni Carlson writes here that OSU’s future has question marks that have nothing to do with Tylan and Chuba. Good, interesting piece with a lot to think about.

• KB had some really interesting Collin Clay news here. PFB+ only (subscribe!)

• Sean Gleeson didn’t exactly put a nail in the Rutgers rumors!

• The plus-one system would have been better than the playoff. 2011 = the year that keeps on giving.

• Marshall Scott previews the final basketball game of 2019.

• Good stuff here on Ice’s return and why four (punch “totally arbitrary number” on your Gundy BINGO card) pieces have been missing from OSU’s puzzle.

• Berry Tramel says OU is no closer to solving their CFP problem, which feels like it might be a Big 12 problem in the future. Related: The Big 12 is now 0-3 in bowls.

• Game of the year last night was Ohio State-Clemson. Still astonished at what I watched. Felt like the title game. I hope the actual title game is half as good.

It does and LSU may be better than both. Great year for CFB fans

• I was thinking this during the game. Herbs is unbelievably good.

Props to @KirkHerbstreit, by the way. Guy has twin sons on Clemson’s team & played for Ohio State. Yet called an absolutely perfect game between the two teams completely devoid of all bias. Guy doesn’t get enough credit for how good he is.

• Holy smokes.

Vikings’ kicker Dan Bailey, who has made 92 percent of his field goals this season (23/25), earns a $1 million incentive if he stays about the 90 percent threshold. If he’s between 87.5-90 percent, it falls to $750,000; if he’s b/w 84-87.5 percent, it’s $500,000. Big day today.

• Slow is relative.

• How did I not find this before Christmas?!

• Here’s my most recent sermon at Mosaic Richardson. Poured myself into that one, would be grateful if you listened.
