247 Travels (Monday) - tOSU, Miami, Notre Dame, USC

  • On my redirectional tour of other 247 sites, here are today's nuggets:

    1. Ohio State - Was redirected again to tOSU. A. They received a commitment from Joey Basa SDE from Florida. 6-5, 260. B. They think their WRs suck after the spring game as they are not that fast and do not get many YAC.

    FYI - A&M related - Bosa's commitment pushed Ohio State to #5 and knocked A&M back to #6 in the 247 Recruiting Rankings.

    2. Miami - First visit to "InsideTheU 247": A. Had a thread "Florida choose football over science" which is about UF eliminating its computer science department while increasing its athletic budget. Saved $1.7 million with elimination of computer science while adding $2 million to athletics.

    3. USC - Another visit to FightOn 247: On what other site would you read a thread entitled "What's Your Favorite Shakespeare Play?" For those of you who do not know, today is the anniversary of Shakespeare's death on April 23, 1616. Supposedly was also born on April 23, 1564. Answers for those of you who are curious: First guy: "None." Consensus seems to be "Othello." Best line was from a guy who said of "Othello": "I saw the one with Laurence Fishburne."

    4. Notre Dame - First visit to BlueandGold 247: Big discussion on who the Irish QB will be. Looks like Everett Golson who was 11-for-15 in the spring game and only one to not throw an interception. Looks like Gunner Kiel is a RS candidate.

    Also former ND freshman All-American DL Aaron Lynch is transferring to USF. He's originally from Florida.

    247 Site Name Rankings:
    1. InsideTheU 247 - Like the swagger.
    2. FightOn 247 - Close #2.
    3. BlueandGold 247 - Pretty plain.
    4. Bucknuts 247 - Big 10 sucks.

  • Thanks scout. Love your avatar too btw haha. I hope our school never eliminates academic departments to fund athletics. I love me some sports, but education and research are way more important

  • This is why scoutp's travels are so important: I live only a couple hours from UF and hadn't heard a word about them killing the computer science program.

    But in fairness, they're like us and the academics and athletics budgets are separate. Not to mention the fact that Miami's undergraduate programs are generally pretty much crap.

    Agree on the name rankings. Bucknuts, for as popular as it is, has to be the worst name ever.
