Marshall's Head Coach Is Trying To Lure Ohio State Players To The Transfer Portal With An All-You-Can-Eat Biscuit Offer

Now THIS is the type of opposing coach I can respect. People have gotten on my case for punching down on Indiana fans lately, and I do understand their point. But Indiana fans acted like they were amongst the sports elite when I did that. Marshall? Head Coach, Charles Huff, knows exactly where Marshall stands on the hierarchy of college football....and using his once a year platform to unload his resources to change that. An NIL deal with Tudor's Biscuit World where you can get all-you-can-eat biscuits? And offering them to any unhappy Ohio State player that wants to enter the portal? This man has done more than Dabo Swinney has in the portal in years. And with Ohio State's D-Line going as deep as 5 people per position at some spots, I'm sure some of them looked up the menu last night....

 They even have the Thundering Herd biscuit! Although I think the ones with the melted cheese look far better. Am I crazy or should the cheese be melted on all breakfast sandwiches? Cold cheese on a warm sandwich should be a crime. Whatever, not the point of the blog. The point of the blog is that I now respect Marshall heading into this weekend's game. There's something to be said for guys that can come down off their high horse and be normal for a moment, and that's exactly what the Marshall coach did here. He made a joke as he heads into a game where he's 39.5 point underdogs. And that joke also did the unthinkable and has Ohio State players talking in their dorms tonight about how good the Mary B looks and if it's worth transferring over….

Kidding. The good news is that Ohio State players don't stay in "dorms" and Ohio State players eat steak and lobster, not Tudor's Biscuit World. This may have worked on a good G5 school or maybe even a lower tier Power 4 school, but Ohio State? Come on now. If Ryan Day snapped his fingers twice Tudor's Biscuit World would drop their NIL deal with Marshall just to do one commercial with the Buckeyes. But I at least have to tip my cap to Marshall's coach for trying. And for that reason, I hope Ryan calls off the dogs at 50 this week. Game respects game.

*Two Notes I thought of while blogging:

1. I've never heard of Tudor's Biscuit World. Ohio is right next to West Virginia, and I've driven through it many times. I need to try this with how good the internet reaction has been.

2. I just learned Ohio State athletes….all of them….cross country runners included….have an NIL deal with Chipotle where they get a burrito a week. Kinda cool, but one a week doesn't seem that impressive. It's probably those damn non-revenue generating sports holding the football and basketball players back from getting Gold Cards….
