SIGHS HEAVILY... Well, at least one “football” knows how to punish its teams for cheating.



Southampton cheats and the English Premier League levies a postseason ban and a four-point reduction in the Championship. Michigan cheats and it gets a slap on the wrist.

I will never forgive the NCAA for what it has become.

All bark, no bite.

Unreal shooting ourselves in the foot with 2 terrible errors on consecutive plays. It's now 2-1 Rutgers.

“I LIKE WHEN YOU’RE THE VILLAIN.” Jakub Dobeš loves being the villain.

The former Ohio State goaltender delivered a bounce-back performance for the lifetime on Monday for the Montreal Canadiens, who defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on the road in overtime in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Dobeš, who allowed six goals and was pulled from Game 6 on Saturday, recorded 37 saves, including a huge stop on Tage Thompson in overtime, to secure a matchup with the Carolina Hurricanes in the NHL playoffs.

His efforts were fueled by Sabres fans, who trash talked him all evening, especially when the Canadiens surrendered a 2-0 lead in the second and third periods.

The 24-year-old Dobeš never wavered. In fact, he welcomed their chirps.

“I like that,” he said. “I like when you’re the villain.”

Canadiens forward Zachary Bolduc said he had no doubt Dobeš would bounce forward — a term often used by head coach Martin St. Louis — after his poor performance in Game 6.

“He’s been our best player since the first game of the playoffs,” Bolduc said. “We had all our confidence in him. … We’re not surprised the way he bounced forward.”

Forward Josh Anderson agreed.

“He’s been great the whole playoffs, honestly,” he said. “We have the utmost confidence in him back there. He’s made some huge saves in both series. You just knew he was going to have a big night.”

Looking ahead, Dobeš faces a tremendous challenge against the Hurricanes, who swept the Ottawa Senators and the Philadelphia Flyers in Rounds 1 and 2 while outscoring both teams 24-10 across eight games. The series kicks off Thursday at 8 p.m. in Raleigh, North Carolina. The game will be broadcast on TNT and truTV.

Filin, Carpico to Compete for US Open Entry​

Top American collegiate tennis players will compete for a wild card spot in the 2026 US Open during a playoff June 16-18 in Orlando, the USTA announced Monday.

The Ohio State doubles team of Nikita Filin and Brandon Carpico, finalists at the 2025 NCAA Doubles Championship, will represent the Buckeyes at the event.

The full player fields will be selected May 27. Player selections will be determined by a committee made up of USTA staff, college tennis coaches and an ITA representative. American NCAA singles and doubles champions this season along with the finalists earned automatic entry.

All matches will be played at the USTA National Campus' Collegiate Center.

The second-year playoff is part of an expanded NCAA-linked wild card pilot program that guarantees at least six US Open wild cards to American collegiate players each year, coinciding with the NCAA DI Individual Championships shifting to the fall.

Filin and Carpico were ranked as high as No. 1 in the ITA weekly rankings this season. The pair finished with an overall record of 37-6 with a 22-3 record in duals. Playing primarily at the No. 1 doubles spot, they put together a 15-2 record at the top of Ohio State's doubles lineup. Overall, the pair was 17-3 against nationally-ranked opponents in 2025-26.

Ohio State finished 32-5 this season. The team earned its 20th-consecutive Big Ten regular-season title and advanced to the program's 18th appearance in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals.

Yeah that was a bomb. Immediate bat flip always a good sign!

Kaczmar crushes a solo HR to give Ohio State a 1-0 lead in the 4th!

Herrenbruck through 4 with only 34 pitches. Still 0-0, offense has yet to get a hit, gotta get it going

only 15 pitches to get through 2 innings for Herrenbruck. Come on offense!

Nice first inning by Herrenbruck despite a pretty bad throwing error by Ellis that put a RISP. Need a sharp outing from him in this game.

Long and short, you're trash. Which is why most of what you spew is just that. You really have no place on this board. Hell, you can't even contribute to the football conversation which is the greatest sin in my book.

The fact you haven't been given the permanent boot is a stain on this board.
And it's even more telling that those with the ability to do so either have a blind spot or have been intentionally neglectful.

Forget the weight, There are no 6-4 tackles any more at elite levels.

6-4 240 is LB size man, there is no way that guy can physically play tackle at OSU levels. The measurements have to be wrong.

I read on another site that his brother, Spencer was the same size at the same age. Spencer was a freshman at Utah weighing 270lbs. So it seems like he's a similar size as his big brother

Starting a tournament on Tuesday when the weekend guys are unavailable and you are stuck with the back end of bad pitching depth makes it difficult to win. Hopefully next year brings a bit better pitching depth. That's always going to be tough for "cold weather" schools, but ours is currently very bad and improvable.

I believe they have some good pitchers in the pipeline

Harden should be investigated for bribes.. No one is that abysmal on BOTH ends of the court unless they're throwing the game.
Didn't make a shot or a pass when it counted.. And Brunson was salivating when Harden was defending him..
Not sure I've ever seen a more intense disintegration in the end of a game

That last "shot" he took in regulation definitely should trigger an investigation. Looked like he was trying to toss up an ally oop to nobody

Hopefully next year brings a bit better pitching depth. That's always going to be tough for "cold weather" schools, but ours is currently very bad and improvable. This will be the big hurdle for Haire, if they even had somewhere close to average pitching depth that allowed them to not go sub .500 in the mid-week games this year, things would be looking even better right now.

One of my favorite things from Coach Pat has been the fluidity between fronts and changing spacing while using the same personnel.

That said, I am worried about our flexibility to execute these types of looks in 2026 because of the loss of Kmac, Styles, Reese & Downs.

I prefer not to bicker with people but some people love to bicker. I blame the estrogen being pumped into our food supply.

No, I did not. It is a direct, verbatim quote from Dub. While I'm sure he'll end up deleting the post I'm referencing or try to pretend it's harmless fun, like he has so many others; it was a thinly veiled, antagonist response he aimed at another poster. It's only one post in a much laeger pattern of dog-whistling language of his over the past several years.

I'm blessed with the ability to have elite pattern recognition. One of the finer points of my psychology background.

You'll notice a pattern here that I myself am using - being his own methodology against him.




I will apologize for the initial confusion.
Yes, your tribe unfairly is catching enough hell from all over. One of the reasons I caution so many people, personally and politically, on whom they brush elbows with.

My comment was meant to turn his words on their head. Not a subtle jab at my folks of your particular tribe. <3
