And we will continue the great tradition of my "Corso's Headgear Selection" report each Saturday, good health & good internet willing.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud is making sure his teammates are prepared, and look the part, when the Buckeyes take on Notre Dame on Saturday night. Stroud announced aft…

The OSU quarterback is a brand ambassador for Express thanks to name, image and likeness. NIL has treated Stroud well with endorsement deals from Designer Show Warehouse, Value City Furniture and Sarchione Auto Gallery in Canton to drive a $200,000 Mercedes G-Wagon.

Backyard Brawl is delivering so far

 

[GKJ]

Penn State is in the end zone. Backyard Brawl 10-10 at half

Contender for worst targeting flag yet.

 

[DaveG]

BLOCKED! Oh my that might be the big break the way this game has been trending.

And Donaldson makes it count on the next play.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Pitt kinda sucks

I have a nephew who quit ESPN to live in Ames and cover IA ST. I'm not sure that was a good career move. Go Cyclones

How often does West Virginia wear these helmets? I like 'em.

I don’t recall ever seeing them but I’m sure they showed up at some point like 50 years ago

I mean that's not much context. Just because he had a job at ESPN doesn't mean it was great or even paid well. He very well could have got a significant raise in his new job, especially if you consider the cost of living in shithole Bristol, CT compared to shithole Ames, IA.

Backyard Brawl has lived up to the hype. Both schools need to play at least every other year if not every year.

Oklahoma State has given up 36 to Directional Michigan. Luckily they have 58

To be fair, Central Michigan is and has probably been the best Directional Michigan for quite awhile now. Western Michigan has had some decent runs. Eastern Michigan is just lol. And Northern Michigan is probably still snowed in from winter every year to start a legit program.

They do at least once a season in recent years as a throwback helmet. Kinda wish they had them in my era as well.

edit: actually that's the first time they've had the WV logo in the state outline on it from what I can see.

I was about to say who cares, FCS winning over FBS is a regular occurrence now. But I have literally never heard of Bryant. A college in Rhode Island playing in the Big South?

 

[DaveG]

yep, that's gonna be a targeting.

 

[Canes]

lol FIU ties it.

And yeah, that's gonna be a targeting call for WVU.

Their real conference doesn’t sponsor football.

 

[red devil]

Pitt ties it but still lots of time left for a winning drive for WVU in the 4th

 

[Canes]

Their real conference doesn’t sponsor football.

After researching a bit I see that. Still theoretically better fits for them though but then again geography basically means nothing for conferences these days.

Crazy game going on in Pittsburgh.

Absolutely brutal drop by WVU receiver. Sorry @DaveG

 

[red devil]

Pitt get a pick 6 to take the lead!!
