OL Carson Hinzman (All B1G, All American, National Champion)

CARSON HINZMAN, FUTURE COMEDIAN? I hope Carson Hinzman has a long, prosperous football career ahead of him. But if things don’t work out on the gridiron, he may have a future in stand-up comedy. (I could, too, but I prefer to sit.) Hinzman had Ohio State beat reporters belly laughing Monday during the team’s Cotton Bowl press conferences.

The first round of laughs came when Hinzman realized the press conference had a Zoom component. With a reporter’s question coming through the speakers above him, Hinzman jokingly looked up at the ceiling to answer.

Another hilarious moment followed during an exchange with Doug Lesmerises about Gabe VanSickle’s nickname, “Sicko Mode.” Hinzman shared several nicknames for Ohio State’s offensive linemen, including “Piggy” for Austin Siereveld, “Tigre” for Tegra Tshabola and “Dilla” for Joshua Padilla.

“I don’t think anyone actually knows his real name,” Hinzman said of Padilla.

Other nicknames included “Big J” for Julian Goines-Jackson and “Big E” for Ethan Onianwa. Hinzman declined to share his own nickname, choosing to “keep that one under wraps for now.”

“It’s been fun to be a part of a group like that that came together after a lot of experience left from last year’s team,” Hinzman said. “Playing these big games with them is pretty special.”


Last but not least, Hinzman addressed his bleach-blonde hair. When asked if it was a mistake, he said:

“I don’t know. All the guys are like, ‘When is it gonna wash out?’ And I was like, ‘That’s actually the funny thing about bleaching your hair — it doesn’t.’ Unfortunately, it was really cool until I woke up the next morning. I was like, ‘Oh, I’m still blond,’” Hinzman said.

Hinzman said it will be cool once his hair turns into frosted tips — à la *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys in the ’90s. His girlfriend disagrees.

“We’ll see,” Hinzman said. “My girlfriend’s not necessarily the biggest proponent of it, so we’ll see.”

We need this man in front of a microphone more often.


Bleached hair is hilarious. Especially as someone who was a teenager through the 90s boy band era.

2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

I think that’s way you should view the game or you’ll be disappointed if it’s not.

But I do not expect this game to be close.

Bucks 35-Miami 17
Miami will not score 17 points. That is on the Defense. If they score on special teams or defensively is possible but not their Offense vs our Defense.

In terms of returning integrity to the program Poggi may be the best candidate out there.

Thus he has no chance at the job.

Is he though? Was he not there during their peak cheating years and then came back to work for a man not so secretly dating his secretary? Not a peep from him until he started campaigning for the HC job.

He is the perfect Michigan Man TM. Spouts empty platitudes about doing things the right way with no substance behind it.

Oklahoma Sooners (official thread)

Headlines that follow the covid pattern of former mcdonalds worker on tiktok says x about mcdonalds. Like it's news what some random 18 year old who used to work in the lowest levels of the company has to say about anything

I can think of one institution where a low level staffer has some impactful shit to say

HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

I think about that a lot actually and I think where I am at is this: we know at the individual game level it's always execution, we also know that the trend is present across many years and different players..so how do we reconcile those two things?

My thesis would be that it's a structural issue. It has to be or it wouldn't repeat itself like it has. So what's the issue?

I am asking here because I don't know but it makes sense that a pass first offense that wins by having an NFL system and NFL WR talent gets compressed as the field shrinks. The back of the end zone becomes the extra safety that prevents you from taking the top off the offense? I mean that's football 101 so maybe too simplistic, then again maybe it's just that damn simple.

X & O gurus would have to chime in on Day's passing offense being more vertical than say a Shanahan offense that seems to always get guys open in any part of the field? Anyway, my .02. I feel like it is some kind of structural (scheme structure/not personnel) issue or it wouldn't be as persistent as it's shown itself to be.

To answer the "just fix it if they see it" question- that's the whole point of using the word "structural" it may just be a feature, not a bug so to speak. The trade off you have to live with if you are going to have the other features.

:shrug:
IMBSO, the teams were, on average, a bit less disciplined earlier in Day’s tenure and he was less developed as a strategic game manager, which led to some critical mistakes. They also just had an above expected amount of bad luck and Southern-fried officiating as well.

Current issues are, I think, more schematic with too many things needing to go right for a play to work. Requiring more execution leaves more opportunity for execution errors (e.g, why make three TEs make good blocks in a tight heavy formation for a running play to work when you can run from a more spread out formation and only need one TE to make a good block?) I also think that having a special RB, and I don’t think Bo is quite there yet, can make up for a lot of that but hasn’t.

Ohio State vs. Grambling St., Tuesday Dec. 23, 2pm EST, BTN

There are way too many stretches game to game that are like this, it's been like this dating back to Holtmann. I know some people want to act like we have zero talent; this roster isn't the best in a national title contender type sense but it's not like MAC caliber either. I think a coach who knows what he's doing could get a lot more out of this group.

Absolutely agreed. Those 5 minute stretches over getting out-scored by 7 or 9 or 12 points are just killer when you are losing close games.
