That is incredible engineering. They've had a few engineering problems over the years too, but my goodness, that is impressive.

This week’s question: Who will lead Ohio State in blocks this season?​

---

Connor: Amare Bynum​

While he originally was not expected to be relied on quite as heavily as he actually was, Amare Bynum ended up playing a huge role for Ohio State last season after forcing himself into the starting lineup in December. Despite having to play the position at times last year, Bynum is not a center and will play a much more comfortable power forward next season.
Still, Bynum was Ohio State’s leading shot blocker as a freshman, finishing the year with 28 blocks in 34 contests. He’ll need to become more consistent in that area, as he had a game with four blocks, a game with three blocks, but also had a stretch from late January to early February where he blocked one shot in a five-game stretch, with Ohio State going 2-3 in that stretch.
Bynum’s going to lead the team in blocks again this season (with an even bigger number of them) because he’s got the best combination of height and athleticism on the roster. He’s got long arms but is also quick enough on his feet to get him into a position where he’s able to get his hand on the ball, even if it’s against someone he wasn’t guarding until sliding over at the very last second.
It’s hard to calculate or put a number on it, but I also feel like Bynum is a big-time momentum-shifting type of player. Once he swats one shot, the whole crowd is holding their breath, waiting for him to do it again. When he starts to get confident and a little cocky on the defensive end, he really becomes a menace to teams when they try to drive to the basket.

Justin: Ivan Njegovan​

I think Ivan Njegovan will lead the team in blocks for the sole reason that he is the best rim protector on the team, and I do think he will play more this season than last. Njegovan decided to return to Columbus for his third season, and so far, there has been a good amount of talk from open practice and camp that he has really improved his inside game and defense.
Josh Ojianwuna is going to be the starting center, but Andrija Jelavic is more of a stretch four, and Vuk Lazarevic is a freshman who arrived on campus late, so his learning curve is going to be steeper than the other freshmen.
With Ojianwuna coming off a knee injury that sidelined him for the end of the 2024-25 season and all of last season, he will have his minutes limited at least to start as he gets back into the flow of the game and game shape. That will have Njegovan playing more, and I expect him to get 12-15 minutes per game early in the
season.
Last season, he averaged 0.4 blocks per game, but he led the team in blocks per 40 minutes, and his defense and rim protection were something that really improved as the season progressed. I expect him to take an even bigger jump in that department this season.

He's dumb enough and arrogant enough to ignore a subpoena. How funny if they arrested him on the sidelines the next time he plays the Lions?

As a fan of the cooking series 'Chopped', not enough salt, or insides too dry is enough to have someone chopped, especially if the contest is close. Using this as my leap of faith logic, money=even, big time football tOSU > Tennessee. TV exposure tOSU > UT. Guess I'm making someone else's point of "0" being a tip point. OK, signing off now....

Guess the Buckeyes are limited by either money or imagination.

Incredible time to be a Buckeye. The run continues and the gap is widening

"It's just a good fit for me," May told Rivals right after letting the world know he's Ohio State-bound. "I just like the development, I just like the people around me, and I just feel like this is going to be the best option for my future, and making it to the next level."

MLBTR says they are selling off the pending free agents.

As they are all pure shit, I don’t expect much return but it’s at least the end of Stephenson and Geno.

Same and we're stocking up in the trenches. It's been a clear priority but good to see us actually hitting our priority targets rather than Plan B and Plan C bodies to fill the spot. Great pickup here, I see a lot of Tyleik in his game (about the same developmentally at this stage as well).

According to the pundits, Sad got hurt and rolled over.
I saw Snyder get the winning TD and then the injury to Sad...

That's what I saw too, already had the TD when Sad reacted with the injury.
