2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

It's going to take time, much increased NIL, a better or at least updated game atmosphere and a bigger national recruiting effort (international as well). All of it is going to take a mu
FWIW I don't think Diebler gets fired unless they somehow lose the rest of their games this year. I think they give him the 2nd full year (this is the 2nd full year) before putting on the pressure to win now in year 3. That said, if they DO pull the trigger, they cannot miss on the next hire and they absolutely must have a contingency plan (i.e. NOT what Ped State did when they fired Franklin)....and if they DO miss and that coach gets canned in 2 or 3 seasons, that rep of being a coaching graveyard at a football-focused school becomes harder to beat.

I don't think Diebler is the guy BUT to touch on your point here with how bad the university has handled the hoops program from Thads departure up until the Diebler hire them screwing the pooch again is definitely a concern. I definitely don't think that means that you want them to just keep riding with Diebler if he continues at the same meh level but it is a concern.

PGA Tour (Official Thread)

The issue with Brooks is he always played a “light” PGA Tour schedule anyways. He has never liked to grind, and he’s an admitted “home-body”…..nothing wrong with that, IMO.

For all the shit LIV players get, their schedule is mandatory to qualify for the contractual $$$, and the schedule is all over the world. Brooks hates that.

Add in LIV went to (4) round tournaments (like the PGA Tour) to qualify for World Ranking points, and many of the reasons Brooks joined LIV (for less wear and tear on his body) basically disappeared over 2 years.

He’s going to play a light PGA schedule, but be much happier.

The last thing I’d point out….he made his brother Chase $5M on LIV. Chase ended up being relegated but he earned over $5M in his short time in LIV, only bc Brooks called that shot (that Chase had to play the first season). Now that Chase is relegated, he can’t really do his brother any favors….

But at least the next time Chase calls from the Philippino Tour asking for $$$, Brooks can say “what’d you do with that $5M I made you?”

Was probably worth it for that alone.
I hadn’t realized that they’d gone to four rounds.

FWIW, for fans of the intro to Laverne and Shirley, and in the interest of offering an unsolicited Yiddish lesson, that poor innocent bastard would be a schlimazel.

SG Malaki Branham (B1G Freshman of the Year, Charlotte Hornets)

He didn't play in college for 8 years so he should have eligibility remaining. Guys who have played professionally are coming back to college. I think tOSU should put together a massive NIL package for him. (Unfortunately in today's wild west world that isn't as wild as it should sound.)

The Jerome Schottenstein Center (Official Thread)

New Hockey Arena Coming to OSU in January?​

I'm watching Ohio State skating against Minnesota on the BTN and the announcers let a comment slip when talking about the job coach Steve Rohlik, who's in his 13th season with the Puckeyes has done. They said "there's big news coming in January about a new facility."

Just sayin': They still have a little over a week....:lol:
And crickets. I don't trust the dynamic duo of Slapshot and The Aggy to get anything done. It seems like they lucked into the NC last year and are content to just let the athletic department coast on momentum. With Slapshot, I think that's his general attitude towards the university overall.

Ohio State Women's Ice Hockey (2022 WCHA Champions, 2022, 2024 National Champions)

Sweep, Baby! That's 11 in a row for the team. Both teams down their five best players, so it was an even match.
Strike that...reverse it. It looks like the website hadn't been updated when I looked. Wiscy got the split for the weekend.
