Was behind this car today, I was very careful not to rear end them. The window sticker said "Large financial burden on board"

I shared my thoughts about this appointment at the outset. Running a university is a tough job and it would be unfair to assess his performance after just two years. A big plus is that Ohio State rose to #12 nationally in research expenditures this year. Moreover, while there were a few concerning declines in overall international university rankings during his tenure, some of that was regained this year and the 2026 national rankings in US News and World Report had Ohio State up to #41 (from #43 in 2024). Personally, I'm not sure if this is a good or bad development, but I think a mixed bag after two years is not a bad outcome.

It'll be interesting to see who's on the Big Ten all-Freshman team. I see 9 good or very good candidates - Wagler, Steinbach and Mingo I'm expecting will make it as they were all team leaders as freshmen. After that, you have Mirkovic (Illinois), Mills (MD), Frager (NE), Adams (MD), Amare Bynum and McKenney (UM). Mirkovic probably should make it, he averaged 13 points and almost 8 boards per game along with 2.5 assists. I think Frager tailed off - he only had 4 double-digit scoring games after mid-January, so I don't think he should make it & even then he was more productive than Adams down the stretch. I don't think McKenney was relied on by his team quite enough. That leaves the last spot to Andre Mills and Amare Bynum. While Mills scored more, he was on a much worse team and they needed him to score more than OSU needed Bynum. I would go for Wagler, Steinbach, Mingo, Mirkovic and Bynum for the all-freshman team in the B1G, but it's a close call for that last spot.

I think that is why we saw what we saw in filling the OC and additional OL coach roll. They are keenly aware — or minimally strongly believe — the issue was coaching and not players. We would have seen more OL at least make visits if they thought the issue was really the kids.

Ehhh blaming the coaching only goes so far. At some point the kids gotta execute.

Still won't stop the stupid narrative that Day was the issue...

Offensive line play HAS to improve against athletic fronts this next season.

I knew that you could be counted on.

Hopefully, Leslie is too preoccupied with other matters these days to try to handpick this one. The last two times he was intimately involved (Gee 2.0 and Slapshot) we ended up proper fucked.

I know this is for their basketball team but it encapsulates their entire athletics department and fan base so succinctly
