I watched a bit of the OU game today.

Venables looked almost panicked at times. You can really see the desperation on some of these coaches that know their seat is getting hot.

What always struck me watching college vs. pro football (really college vs. pro in any sport) was how much shorter of a leash pro coaches seemed to have. The pro teams treated it like a business and expected results while the college teams would let coaches build a program.

Now with NIL and TV money, turning this into a semi-pro league I won't be surprised to see a "pro football" level of patience with coaches at these big moneyed schools like OSU.

Spectacular game by THE Ohio state referees. The striped unis are killing it.

I'm no Nebraska fan but tossu tried to give that one away, and the ref said "I got you"
