SALT SHAKERS AT BOSA'S DOOR. Joey Bosa posted a tough but reasonable take yesterday on Twitter, and people got upset.
I don't know, guys, Bosa may have a point. I'll give if any defender of Holtz $50 if they can decipher this six-second Vine:
Don't worry, I'll be waiting.
DAMN THE FLORIDA GATORS. Remy forwarded me his look at Ohio State's history in bowl games, and I was somewhat surprised by the 20-24 overall mark.
It took me years to accept that loss to the Florida Gators, but that doesn't mean it still doesn't sting. Watching Notre Dame get taken to the woodshed was fun, though.
J.T. BARRETT NOT SATISFIED. The showdown for the 2015 starting quarterback job will be tantalizing, but also historical. Like the other two entrants, J.T. Barrett will be tough to beat.
From Bill Landis of cleveland.com:
COLUMBUS, Ohio — J.T. Barrett was working out with former Major League pitcher turned quarterback coach Tom House back in May when the topic of Tom Brady came up.
[...]
What Barrett couldn't wrap his mind around was why Brady — the three-time Super Bowl champion and surefire NFL Hall of Famer — would ever spend his time working with House or any other "quarterback guru."
The answer was simple: Brady just wanted to get a little better. So that became Barrett's mantra.
And here I thought George Whitfield Jr. had a monopoly on the "quarterback guru" private sector.
RAMZY APPEARS ON BAMMER PODCAST. I'm not huge into podcasts — I ain't got that kinda time, and my mind can only handle one track of media at a time — but I listened to the entirety of Ramzy's appearance with Alabama Radio/Internet Man Rick Muscles, and I did not regret a second of it.
HARBAUGH! Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the first bit of evidence Harbaugh isn't going to Michigan in some time, isn't it?
John Harbaugh says report Jim Harbaugh's family is urging him to U of Michigan is "absolutely incorrect."

Still think it's happening, but both Harbaugh brothers could be walking the tight rope to get one of them slipper rich. I can't hate on that.
THOSE WMDs. Moms: Still time to throw those video games for your #teen in the trash... Fascinating Photos of Yakutsk and Oymyakon, the Coldest Village in the World... Anatomy of a hoax: how a 17-year-old built a crazy rumor that swept financial media... Ground Truth: In Dozier's neglected cemetery, a search for lost boys and the reasons why they died... The best #longforms from the Year of Luigi... I don't like Seinfeld, but this was extremely good.
