As others have pointed out, we're indie in the sense that we're not backed by a large company, even though we're structured as an LLC. Basically, we can say or do anything we want and only have ourselves (and readers, obviously) to answer to.

Bucknuts = 247Sports/CBS
Buckeye Grove = Yahoo!
Dispatch = GateHouse Media
Land Grant Holy Land = SB Nation (Vox)
Lettermen Row = Wolfe family (former owners of WBNS TV, 97.1 FM, the Dispatch, etc.) backing
Buckeye Sports Bulletin = Indie again after being Scout affiliated for a long time
The Ozone = Indie

I've always respected the indie ethos and spirit because it's not easy to do something like this. We've been approached several times through the years but have always wanted to do it our way, so we've never taken funding from anyone. That has its challenges, but it's also so much more rewarding when you can pull it off.

It's not at all. I honestly think it's super interesting. Without a document dump, we never get a window into things like this.

That's correct. It's a bug, but a weird one that rarely occurs and only happens when the mod moves a post to the correct forum. We will probably fix it at some point, but it's not urgent. In the meantime, blame your fellow posters for picking the wrong forum haha.

What link? The banner with the image at the top of the thread?

Buddy, do you think we are making this up as we go?

Thanks, man. Joshua is so smooth at this and makes Chris and I better just from being in the same room.

Thank you, Major.

Such a classic…

Thank you! Gahanna's downtown is a lot cooler now than when I was there.

Thank you. I feel like you're giving me better odds than I deserve.

Thank you, sir.

We're ineligible to win the prize pack, if that helps. Plus, you're going to beat all of us anyway.

So true. Also enlightening that the position was originally a full-time position, but they cut it to part time. Way to shoot yourself in the foot, Vince.

Love Tressel, but he threw himself under the bus by responding to an email about player violations with his work email and then not being truthful about it.

Locking this thread. How are we so divided as a nation? I promise you we all agree on 90% of things that matter, but two parties have done a masterful job of pitting us into separate tribes.

We received this email at 4:45 p.m.

I'm done with this site. Bunch of liberal pussy fucks from Ohio that can't stop being little bitches. So glad I'm out of your pathetic left wing state. I hope I never see and of you bitches in Florida. Fuck your site and Go Buckeyes bitches.

And this one at 4:46 p.m.

I would simply like to state my concern that this website has once again chosen to ignore its political commenting policy with regards to Kaepernick. Some of the things stated about him in the thread are clearly racist and political in nature, and the fact that 11w leaves these up where it wouldn't leave up political takes from the opposite side of the aisle is hypocritical.

2019. Let's all get mad!

Cheers!

Flashbacks to that kickoff they just flat out recovered.

Ha!
