Greene and The Pagan are back. Yay, I think.

Awesome, DL recruiting is great this year. Huge pickup

I just wonder what the hell happened to Germany. I remember reading a bunch of articles in the 2014, 2016, 2018 range that said the German system was the envy of Europe. The kids were getting to their academies, the developmental system was strong, the coaching and structural personnel were in place, the young players were in the leagues they wanted, the domestic league was getting stronger…now, what a crash and burn.

Is there anyone over the age of 45 that hasn’t been shot by a BB gun?

We literally had wars with BB guns and bottle rockets in the corn fields of Allen County back in the day. Had nothing better to do than drink and fight, so we made it fun. Surprised we never sent anyone to the hospital. Still have a T-shirt that I wear for yard work that has burn holes from those times.

Transfer from Wake Forest. Only took 20 ABs at Wake Forest as a freshman this year but was a decently highly rated recruit out of HS (#218 overall player in the class according to Perfect Game)

Fuck that. Let him go

The follow up to the recent Manziel interview where he states that he roots for the Browns to go 0-16 every year. I always thought he would be a bust when they drafted him.

UCLA research suggests playing pro football can increase risk of developing ALS

The study looked at close to 20,000 professional football players who had participated in at least one game between 1960 and 2019. The data showed that professional football players were four times more likely than the general population to develop and die from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a neurodegenerative disease.

Because the study covers 59 years, the researchers were also able to make an important connection between the length of a player’s football career and their risk of developing ALS. Specifically, the longer someone played football, the greater their likelihood of developing ALS became. Those players who developed ALS played more than 50% longer than those who did not.

I’m a little worried about that scum up north for Weddle. Gut feeling, dad played for Whittingham, and he could easily play as a freshman there due to their room likely being weaker than ours and UGA

Michigan wasn’t named as a factor per Adam Gorney. Ohio State and Georgia battle with Oklahoma behind them. Utah, UCLA, Cal and Oregon were named as other schools of interest.

Georgia fans are already conceding that they will lose Casey Barner to us, they know they can’t compete with Ohio State NIL wise.
I could see us landing Barner and Weddle going to Georgia, it’s been shown that NFL legacies don’t put as much emphasis on NIL as other recruits do.

Just got Lindy's Annual on the Big Ten. About month or so later than the overall College Football. Anyway, look at projected top players in nation, and top players in the B10. Kinda surprising, am used to see several/many players listed among the elites. Nary a Buckeye mentioned in either mag. Probably the penalty of losing so many players to NFL. Last year, zero mention of any LB other than Sonny, but we all know how that turned out. Anyway, seems like the pundits are downplaying the Buckeyes individually, but has the team in top 5. Kinda contradictory, so seems like the writers are counting on the Buckeye coaches to build/meld or otherwise cobble together these players into top flight competition. Hopefully our coaches are using these prognostications to instill fire in their loins to go out and conquer. Go Bucks!

Draymond Green declines Warriors' option, becomes free agent​

Draymond Green is heading to free agency. The Warriors veteran has declined a $27.7 million player option for the 2026-27 season and will be a free agent tomorrow evening. Green has only played for the Warriors during his 14-year NBA career and has won four championships with the squad. The Warriors could bring Green back at a smaller average annual value and help make more moves possible.

The Warriors are said to be chasing both LeBron James in free agency and Anthony Davis on the trade market. Those moves would reunite LeBron and AD and pair them with Stephen Curry as Curry and James chase a fifth title.

I think that I saw that he had some form of vertigo? Potentially, the result of football-related trauma?

If that's the case, and regardless, I hope the kid finds his legs under him again.

That's what I have seen. Something along the lines of a concussion that has not fully healed.

We found Mr Pink

4 incoming Ohio State hockey players were selected in the 2026 NHL Draft​

Despite being drafted, all four players are expected to play for Ohio State in the fall.

Ben Wilmott - 92nd overall pick - Las Vegas Golden Knights​

Evan Jardine - 121st overall pick - Columbus Blue Jackets​

Tobias Tvrznik - 126th overall pick - Colorado Avalanche​

This season we saw Jakub Dobeš take over as the starting goaltender in Montreal, helping the Canadiens reach the Eastern Conference Finals before they were eventually eliminated by the Carolina Hurricanes, who went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Tobias Tvrznik hopes to find success in the NHL in the future after he was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday in the fourth round.

The Czechia product will have a few years before he reaches the NHL, as he won’t even turn 19 until the end of July. Before committing to Ohio State, Tvrznik appeared in 39 games for the Wenatchee Wild of the Western Hockey League, posting a 3.10 goals against average and .913 save percentage.

While the goals against average is a little high, Tvrznik’s save percentage is impressive. With a pretty crowded pipeline at goalie, Tvrznik can afford to spend some time in Columbus to develop.

Not an annoyance per se, but I found it odd that there was a free feminine hygiene products dispenser in a men’s room in the Seattle airport, and yes I am sure that it was a men’s room, not a gender neutral restroom, and that I also hadn’t accidentally walked into the women’s room.
