A quick preview pod on Pitt before I hit the highway. The Panthers' average possession is nearly 19 seconds - will they be able to pull Ohio State in the muck and play a game in the 50s/60s?

I’m watching Planes, Trains and Automobiles now for the second night in a row.
It has a special, albeit unorthodox, place in my life.

Lock in, OSU football fans.
I have a personal Black Friday offer because "Buckeye Brotherhood" is hard to get right now. If you become an annual paid subscriber to my Substack, I'll send you a free paperback copy from my personal stock. My supply is limited, so it’s first-come, first-serve. Happy Thanksgiving.

In the preview, I told you to watch WVU FTs and Ohio State’s Bryn Martin.
26-15 foul discrepancy favoring WVU. 33 FTA compared to 20 for OSU
Bry Martin had 16 points off the bench and four shots from three. Cut WVU’s deficit to a single possession late.

Media was fast today because the Buckeyes had to get to customs by a certain time in order to get home directly.
Fortunately, I was the only one on the press conference so it didn’t take long.
Good stuff coming on Friday. Good thing nothing else is going on in OSU athletics this weekend.
