If you could change the outcome of one Ohio State football game, which would you choose?

1998 MSU

Never have felt that kind of pain from football.

Don't give a fuck about Cooper or his legacy, he probably would have choked later but sweet Woody in heaven was that horrific.
There is no other response. We were at a friends house for the game and I launched their TV remote through their front window. My wife is STILL pissed at me. As I am pissed about that outcome

Former Ohio State Safety Rob Harley Named Interim Head Coach at Northern Illinois​

Former Ohio State safety Rob Harley is now the interim head coach at Northern Illinois.
Northern Illinois promoted Harley to interim head coach on Wednesday after Thomas Hammock, who had been NIU’s head coach since 2019, left the Huskies to be the running backs coach for the Seattle Seahawks.
Harley, who played for the Buckeyes from 2001-05, joined Northern Illinois’ coaching staff as defensive coordinator in 2025. He was previously the defensive coordinator at Arkansas State from 2021-24. Before that, Harley was the linebackers coach at Pittsburgh (2015-20) and FIU (2014). He started his coaching career at Ohio Dominican (2010-11), coaching linebackers and defensive backs under the direction of longtime former Ohio State assistant Bill Conley, before a two-year stint as a graduate assistant at Michigan State (2012-13).
Harley, the great nephew of Ohio State legend Chic Harley, takes over interim head coaching duties at Northern Illinois as the Huskies move from the MAC to the Mountain West for the 2026 season.
Assuming NIU sticks with Harley as its head coach for 2026, he will be one of seven Ohio State alumni leading a FBS program this year.
Harley is the third former Buckeye to become a first-time FBS head coach this offseason, joining Brian Hartline (USF) and Mike Jacobs (Toledo). They join former Ohio State stars Luke Fickell (Wisconsin), Marcus Freeman (Notre Dame) and Eddie George (Bowling Green) as well as former Ohio State student Alex Golesh (Auburn) – who didn’t play for the Buckeyes, but was a student assistant for Jim Tressel in 2004-05 – as Buckeyes who are now FBS head coaches.

2027 TX DB John Meredith (Verbal Offer)

The On3 Texas site seems to think that OSU leads for #1 CB John Meredith:

One of the few prospects from in state that can play as a true freshman, Texas is in a solid spot here. Texas would like to be in a much better position though. Texas A&M led, then Ohio State took the baton. Get him back to Austin and get back in the race
I'm not sure how true that is, but it's interesting that they seem to think that.

Not saying he’s completely wrong, but Meredith is widely thought to be an intense A&M vs Bama battle, with us on the outside. Texas isn’t even in it. The writer also earlier in the article mentioned DJ Jacobs and called him a Miami legacy incorrectly.

5* DT Marcus Fakatou releases Top10 and OSU made the cut. Tells Gorney, that out of all his Jan coaches visits, Georgia, Ohio State, and Michigan stood out. This is going to be a major battle, but we’re trying. On LJ:

Sitting down with Buckeyes position coach Larry Johnson was eye-opening.
“When they came in, hands-down they made that list without a doubt,” Fakatou said.
“He’s just a very knowledgeable person. He sounds so interested in this 27 class and he was saying the 27 class is a very interesting one especially with d-linemen.

“He thinks there’s a lot of talent. They have DJ Jacobs over there, he was talking about Jalen Brewster and me. He was thinking about retiring but he said he’ll retire after this 27 class so that meant a lot to me and my dad and to hear that was pretty cool.”
