Ohio State DC Matt Patricia is extremely impressed with Garrett Stover​

Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia is extremely impressed with the growth he's seen from Stover in the offseason and the spring. He believes Stover has already made a massive improvement from last year.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have a lot of really good, young players at the linebacker position who are vying for starting spots. It looks like Payton Pierce has the upper hand on one of them, but the other one or two spots are up for grabs. Patricia plays multiple defenses, so three linebackers will get a lot of playing time.

Just sayin': I have no idea who will start; however, it does sound like Pierce, Petijohn, Alford, and now Stover could be a very solid "2 deep" at the 2 LB positions.

Alabama transfer James Smith gets honest about what he thinks about Ohio State so far ​

“It kind of gave me that feeling back from when I visited as a freshman with Saban, it kind of felt like that a lot,” Smith said on Thursday. “I ain’t gonna lie, I came here and they ain’t lied to me one time. Nothing coach Larry Johnson told me, he told me it’s gonna be hard, I was okay with that.”

Ohio State transfer from Alabama embarrasses Kalen DeBoer: 'Not another Saban'

Ohio State transfer from Alabama embarrasses Kalen DeBoer: 'Not another Saban'​

images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2F151%2F01kmp3gw279q5qkzg0mq.jpg


While Smith said he had "no really big reason" to transfer, and claimed he just needed a new start while talking up the Alabama football program, he later let his real feelings be known while trying not to be divisive.

Read between the lines, and you'll see that Smith basically admitted that some combination of DeBoer, Nick Saban, and/or their coaching staffs lied to him. You'll also read plainly that Smith signed up with the Tide to play for Saban, and had no hope of DeBoer living up to the same "Bama Standard."

“(Ohio State) kind of gave me, like that feeling back when I visited as a freshman with Saban, it kind of felt like that,” Smith said of choosing Ohio State. “Because here, I ain’t gonna lie, I came here, they didn’t lie to me not one time. Nothing they told me, (Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson) told me, it’s gonna be hard. So I was OK with that.

“Inside the building (DeBoer) was doing his job ... He’s taking over for a big — It’s not going to be another Saban, so I don’t know, you can’t expect that out of him, but he’s doing the best he can, he’s working.

“I just feel like the intensity is different ... I wouldn’t even say the intensity, it’s just like, everything’s so intentional. Everybody’s already laid out. They came in with a new coaching staff at ‘Bama, so it’s like they’re all still trying to learn and stuff. Here it’s already stable and they already know.”

Ryan Day's practices are more intense than Kalen DeBoer's. Without question.

Smith stopped short of saying it's the intensity that separates Alabama and Ohio State, but we know it's true. Ryan Day's practices are physically testing offensive skill-position freshmen every second, whereas DeBoer famously doesn't practice as hard because he believes he can outscheme opponents, and the trenches don't need to physically dominate.

Meant to ask since you're in South Africa, have you ever heard of a rock singer named Rodriguez I heard that he was bigger than Elvis there.

Not sure how big he was, but he was considered a major star inSouth Africa in the 1970s. Nice that he got to live some of that life before he died in the US

2026 NCAA Tournament General Discussion

BuckeyeBiz
Nothing more than a moral victory but we beat two elite 8 teams. Impressed by Illinois last night. They controlled the game and took Houston out of their game. Texas was the hot team and has some length and athletes. Illinois could make a run. Purdue pulled out the W from staying disciplined and playing good team ball. Impressed with their win but don’t see Purdue as a serious title contender.

I wasn't referring to the B1G as we, just referring to us fans as a community. But I believe it's important for your conference to be strong to help attract top talent & improve your team as the year goes on. It's notable any time your league gets a team in the Final Four, and there could be more than 1 this year. I want the B1G to be perceived as a strong, competitive, top-tier conference, & this helps from that standpoint.

Agreed. I wouldn’t hate to see a B1G team bust our 20+ title drought as long as it’s not scUM. I also don’t hate the SEC likely having zero teams in the elite 8…

Idk about you guys, but I enjoy watching Buckeye transfers succeed at their new locations. It almost validates to me that the staff evaluated well but just that guy wasn't to level to play and excel at OSU. But I wish nothing but success for them at their next location(as long as its not scUM, or when OSU plays them)

To a degree. I like Joe Burrow, but I didn't need to see him win a Heisman and natty when we were robbed of a chance to stop it.

Ohio State Men's Ice Hockey (2019 B1G Champions)

ORD_Buckeye said:
Just looked at the men's bracket today. What a fucking screw job. They put all four B1G schools on the same side of the bracket. NCHC schools are spread out among all four regionals. It's time for either Sparty, Wiscy or the pedsters to step up and finally get the B1G a title. tcun can fuck off though.

I’m actually going to the Loveland regional today since Cornell is playing (and will likely get killed by) DU. Friend I’m going with grew up in Ithaca.

I got to know Dash Crofts and Jimmy Seals when they were at the height of their careers. They were both such genuine, down-to-earth people and willing to help aspiring musicians take their best shot. When I first started playing, I was at a conference in St Louis. Several people started playing an impromptu jam in an open foyer above the interest, it was after all the early 70s. Dash and Jimmy were there (and so were about 30 other, including some of the original Godspell band. It's a long time ago, but some of those guys had done session work with some of the top bands of the late 60s/early 70s. One of the bands that came out of that group of friends was Toto, after England Dan and John Ford Coley collapsed. I don't remember and didn't know everyone. Even if I did, as Crosby said at Woodstock, I was scared sh*tless.

So, eventually, Jimmy asks what I'd like to play. I'd only been playing for a few months and I froze with stage fright. I only found my tongue when Dash caught my eyes and said not to worry because no one would hear me with so many playing anyway. So, I chose their hit, Summer Breeze. As I started, Jimmy said, "Those aren't the right chords,...oh, doesn't matter. Let's all watch and we'll play it your way." And they all played along. I gigged for 5 or 6 years and even got invited to Hollywood as a potential songwriter. I could see people on street corners who almost certainly played guitar better with their toes than I with my hands. When I gave up that dream, I left with the precious gift of not taking myself too seriously. I think I probably became finished business school and became a professor years later because their kindness in that moment cured me of stage fright.

My one experience with a rock star was America, the dude with the glasses. They played at a club where I worked as a waiter and I was assigned to take care of them. When I was a kid I was a big fan of their album Hat Trick. When I told him was was tickled pink because that album wasn't a big seller and he couldn't believe that someone my age knew the album so well.
