Ohio State Buckeyes 2022-2023 ... The Drive For Duluth

Who's airing the selection show ?

The impending bankruptcy of the company that owns the Bally Sports regional sports channels is the harbinger of rights fees collapsing. Disney is at least thinking about selling off ESPN.

If ADs make decisions based on an assumption that the money train will just keep running forever, they're being reckless.

There is no sign that college football money will dry up, hence the massive B1G deal. Hell, even the B12 negotiated a bigger deal despite losing Texas and Oklahoma and backfilling with a bunch of no-name G5's. The problem with ESPN is 90% of its content not paying for itself, not college football and basketball. Those sports will still continue to generate huge revenue for the right schools.

You can't compare the B1G's football driven deal with legacy linear networks with a regional streaming outfit that I didn't even know existed until I discovered that I couldn't watch the Buckeyes at Wisconsin.

I heard ESPNews.

Mrs 86 and I watched the selection show live this morning. For those who do not have a subscription to ESPN+ and would like to watch, you can watch for free now on NCAA.com. I will link that here.

Be prepared for the hosts to pump up the suspense of seeing who made the tournament despite anyone who has followed this knowing exactly what the bracket would be.

Yeah, I thought I had the bracket completely picked. The only thing I screwed up was I thought our regional would be 8 vs 9 (Quinnipiac vs Clarkson) instead of Quinnipiac vs Penn State, but I am fine with the way things worked out. It's going to be a huge challenge to repeat but it will be a fun ride. They say it is harder to stay on top of the mountain than it is to get there, although us Ohio State fans might debate that considering how long it took us to get to the top of the mountain.

Quinny/Clarkson would have been an ECAC vs. ECAC match-up. Very glad to see the NCAA honor its commitment to avoid intra-conference match-ups in the first round.

As it happens, I was hoping they'd do exactly what they did. It will be cool to see Central Ohio native Izzy Heminger compete for Penn State.

Go Buckeyes, of course.

I nominate Muzzy for the head coach position for the UW men's team. Muzzy has built a program and that is what the UW men need. Hopefully someone important reads this.

Can’t remember if I mentioned this but I heard her on a podcast saying she’d be up for coaching team USA one day. So men’s Wisco needs to get in line.

Fantastic bracket, and yea Heminger playing either her final games or one of her last games back in her home town is a very cool story. To my knowledge she was one of the first if not the first Columbus girl to go D1.

That's right, I forgot about that. And yes, good on the NCAA for actually honoring the commitment to not have two conference teams play in the first round.

LOL, you're not getting Muzzy! I heard that Granato was let go. Wisconsin Men's Hockey and their fans have expectations and I completely understand the move. Hope your AD (is it still Barry Alvarez?) finds someone to get the program going again.

Where did you hear that? I would be surprised at that considering Nadine is Canadian and has coached for Hockey Canada in the recent past. Coach Muzerall coaching Team USA? Yeah, I would totally like that! Funny statement, some guys were interviewing her recently and one of them asked her if she could get Marie Philip-Poulin to retire. (laugh emoji)

Barry retired a little over a year ago. Chris McIntosh, an offensive lineman on the back-to-back Rose Bowl winning teams who has been one of Barry's assistants over the last number of years is the 'new' AD.

(My niece's husband was a walk-on defensive lineman in their common freshman year; the description has been expanded to include McIntosh's name now, but he describes his job on the scout team as "get off a Chris McIntosh block and go tackle Ron Dayne." After a year, he decided to go play rugby instead. :-)
