ttun basketball (Dusty May out.......)

That 15 day transfer portal just popped open for these incoming wolverines (among others)

7-2 Moustapha Thiam (Cincy)
6-11 JP Estrella (Tennessee)
If OSU is even remotely serious about basketball, they need to go poach a player or two.

Seriously



Ohio State Center Starter - Josh Ojianwuna
Other options - Andrija Jelavic, Ivan Njegovan

Just sayin': Yeah, going into the 2026/2027 season, Center is probably Ohio State's weakest position and the one with the least depth. Especially since Josh Ojianwuna is an "unknown" having transferred and coming off a season ending injury at his old school.

Headlines You Don't See Every Day (outside of Florida)


Many have heard claims of retaliatory restaurant workers spitting in customers’ food, and hope it’s just a gross, urban legend.

But in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, a former Arby’s manager is charged with felony poisoning—accused of spitting in a woman’s food and, as a result, giving her herpes.

“I love Arby’s—not anymore,” said Jennica Church.

After a long night of bartending, Church stopped at an Arby’s in Broken Bow, Oklahoma.

“It was taking a little bit of time,” Church recalled. “I thought they were mad at me because it was about to close.”

Church said she had a little history with Amanda Hendricks, the manager at the time, but nothing major. She went home, ate, and shared sandwiches with her father-in-law and grandmother-in-law.

Church lives in a home with her husband, kids, and paternal grandparents. After that night, Church’s mouth flared up, and that had never happened.

A doctor later diagnosed her with herpes.

Because Broken Bow is a small town, word travels fast. Church says Hendrix had been bragging about spitting in Church’s sandwiches, and Church’s daughter heard about it.

According to the affidavit, Broken Bow police officers say they pulled cameras from Arby’s and saw Hendricks spit in the food. Hendricks is charged with felony poisoning with intent to injure.

A warrant has been issued for her arrest.

Church and her family filed a lawsuit against Hendricks, Arby’s and their affiliated restaurant groups, claiming the incident has caused extreme anxiety, emotional distress and fear of infection. Church fears it will impact her work in the service industry.

“If I go out to each and see someone with a big thing on their face, I don’t want them serving me food,” she said.

The fallout is tough for Church’s mother-in-law, Patricia Dollarhite, to discuss.

“My son was sitting at my table, eating breakfast and he wanted a kiss, and he could not get one, so you bet I’m angry,” said Dollarhite. “I see what it’s doing to my grandchildren, my son, my husband. I don’t want to kiss my husband. He ate the food! Because he hasn’t had an outbreak, doesn’t mean he doesn’t have it.”

The family attorney, Will Blocker, says he is floored that it appears to be acceptable behavior. He said no other employees who witnessed the spitting did anything to stop it.

“They let it go all the way out the door and my client now has a communicable disease,” he said. “That has to be a culture deeper than Arby’s in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. Maybe it’s Flynn Restaurant Group and all 300 stores they own. I don’t know, but we are going to find out.”

We reached out to Arby’s for comment and have not heard back yet.

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

He should be completing 91% of his passes this season - averaging 32 yards per completion. The only incompletions should be batted passes; and the only player batting the batted passes is Jeremiah Smith because he changed his mind during the play or something.

Neal Shipley (PGA Golf Pro)

It’s pretty tough to keep a card these days. He seems to be getting adjusted though, and I think he’ll start getting some higher finishes soon.
Just sayin':

1. You need to finish in the top 100 of the Fed Ex Cup points list at the end of the season to automatically retain full PGA Tour playing privileges for the following year.

A clean breakdown of PGA Tour card retention levels:
  • Top 100 (Fully Exempt): Players finishing in the top 100 receive guaranteed entry into all full-field PGA Tour events.
  • Nos. 101–150 (Conditional Status): Players who finish outside the top 100 but inside the top 150 receive conditional status. They are ranked into priority categories that determine which full-field events they are eligible to enter as alternates or via tournament reshuffles.
  • Beyond No. 150: Players finishing between 151 and 200 receive lower conditional status, while finishing outside the top 200 results in a complete loss of status, requiring players to regain their card through avenues like PGA Tour Q-School.
2. Currently Neal Shipley sits at #179 with 40 points on the Fed Ex Cup ranking. On the $$$ side he did earn $44,938 this weekend at the US Open bringing his seasons earnings to $144,633.

Ohio State Men's Golf (Official Thread)

Here's hoping that Neil earns enough money/points to maintain his PGA playing card. Never forget that the US Open is designed to punish players that don't hit perfect shots. Anyway, we always talk about the college kids being drafted, and starting as rookies, which are few and far between, as the pro game and the college games are miles apart. Same with college/amateur golf. The pro game is many miles apart from the college game, as seen from the Open, many of the 'name' pros didn't make the cut. If you follow golf, you might have noted that several/many of the four-round scores are in the -20 to -25 (under par), but the Open was significantly lower (-7ish). Bit of a ramble, but for non-fanatic golfers, might not be a known fact.
I think he also has the challenge of seeing a lot of courses he has never played in competition. He will be more prepared for them next year.

Just sayin'; If he doesn't start playing better this year and he has to some extent.
Just sayin': His game must be picking up. After starting the season in making the cut in just 1 of 10 tournaments; he has now made the cut in 4 of his last 5 tournaments. In 2025 the US Open last place finisher got $41,785; which is the worst he can do. This Sunday he should get his biggest payday of the year so far.
He'll be back on the Korn Ferry Tour next year.

2027 AL DL Karlos May (Verbal Offer)

Used to be said that pulling a DT from the South/SEC territory was harder than having a root canal without anesthesia (or somesuch). Yet the Buckeyes have done so each of the last two years. I call it a shift from SEC to B10 supremacy. Keep it up.
I've been saying this since the early 2000s that the SEC gap was in large part not going down south for big athletic DL (or not having success trying). We've changed that in a big way, in large part thanks to LJ Sr. This would be a really big pickup at DT.

2029 CA WR Austin Miller (Verbal Offer)

Big boom coming today for the potential #1 overall player in the '29 class in WR Austin Miller. That combined with a potential strong '28 class, and a loaded '26 class that we just signed, plus Jamier Brown, alleviates a lot of pressure to add any other top target for this '27 class. Still hope we land Wong though.

2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

Kinda think that tOSU is reaching deeply into their bag of tricks on this one. And inventing a couple of new ones along the way. Going to sing Pantoni's praises, or one of his staffers maybe, for bringing up the 'offer his BF' avenue. Whomever is master-minding this recruitment, unsung though they may be, and no one knows outside of the Woody, they're to be complimented. Maybe offer his girlfriend a spot on the cheerleading team?

2027 TN DB Jordan Darren Djila (Verbal Offer)

A 6'6 wingspan on a 5'11 kid is insane. A year or two in the weight room and this guy will be a dude.

Here is his junior year highlights. I don't hate what I see - I don't know if he'll ever be an every day starter but he could be a contributor and certainly a special teams guy too.

with a 39" vertical and 6'6" wingspan, he's got a legit shot to just jump straight up and block kicks if nothing else.
