Only after they waste so much time this year trying to rehab it without surgery that the inevitable surgery takes away the 2027 season too.

Timing matters as much as the career threatening injury. Any amateur can just run off and get something fixed as soon as it happens.

These are professionals we are talking about here.

Great read, thanks for sharing. Been so busy keeping up with wrestling and March Madness that I kinda forgot about spring practice. One early prediction I have is that our OL will be among the top 5 units in the country. They took some lumps in pass pro late with IU and Miami, but then we realized literally everyone did because their fronts were ridiculously good. They'll be improved.

Kharchla advances to go for bronze. He looked utterly exhausted. I can't imagine what it's like to be in a tournament like this.

I think Kansas and Duke are the right programs to look at.

You look at their expectations and commitment to football and that is what we should probably shoot for in basketball.

The fundamental truth is, if you build it they will come. Put the resources into it, build a winning program and you will get fan support (good and bad) BUT 1) It isn't ever going to mean as much as football to the fanbase. It just isn't. and 2) ROI. It's a business like anything else-you invest in it proportionate to what you expect to get back out of it so see my point above about Kansas/Duke football. How much are you really going to get back out of OSU basketball? I mean financially.

The arena holds a fair amount so you could shoot for that being full. The B1G TV money is already flowing through, not sure how you raise the water level there any. It gets back to needing some billionaire who needs to solve self identity problems and tax write offs in the same vehicle.

I don't know for sure but from 10,000 ft I don't see a big lift to the revenue proportionate to a big capital investment.

I think it's stuck where it is and you may get occasional variance if you catch lightning in a bottle on a certain player or coach.

Just heard the announcers say PJ Duke advanced. Cannon will have to face him again.

Apparently, Duke got screwed over the refs in his match yesterday.

Kharchia is up now on Mat 2 if you have ESPN +. Cannon just came back to win his match and will be wrestling for bronze, but I missed it, not knowing it was already on.

Even if you’re naive enough to believe Petey never bet against the Reds, he still rigged games.

Probably would’ve had better success on the field doing that than what lever the Reds are trying to do now

Interestingly, a coach that had Inniss, Tate and Smith all at the same time in HS.. told me Inniss was THE one to watch... So I've always expected Smith-Njigba level.. we'll see.

Inniss is often open but I guess when you have Smith and Tate, you look for them first... but he's almost always open.. and seldom drops a pass

As of March 2026, scientists have reported a massive surge in detected spacetime ripples, with recent data from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) network doubling the catalog of known gravitational wave events. These detections include numerous black hole mergers and, as of March 2026, a peculiar black hole-neutron star collision with an unexpectedly eccentric orbit.

We've got the MeerKAT observatory down here in the DEEP SOUTH doing this kind of research. In hindsight, should have known that Chuck Norris was preparing for his departure when this massive surge in spacetime ripples was catalogued recently.

Wouldn't matter. Moments after extraction, they'd stick their heads right back in.

So the guy who has leveraged averaging 4.3 seconds per game over his basketball career at tOSU (No, I did not do any statistical analysis. I made that number up.) into a career has decided tOSU fans (who helped make his career) are the worst in the world? If it were not for tOSU fans supporting him, especially early, does he really think he would currently have the career he has? How much experience does he have with the other fan bases?

And no, I am not defending the idiots in tOSU fanbase. But as has been mentioned earlier in this thread and many other threads tOSU has the largest fanbase in the world. Which means we may well have the largest number of idiots. But the largest percentage? Not necessarily. But we appear to have the largest number of former walk-ons who never saw the court except in meaningless time and who have turned that meaningless time into a career and are now taking pot shots at the fans who supported them. (Talk about a run on sentence.)

Now get off my lawn!

If he absorbs all the technical aspects LJS teaches him, he makes the effort and puts the time in the weight room it doesn’t seem absurd to think he could get meaningful run this season at least in obvious passing downs.

He looks like a weapon already. Didn’t realize how much of a dude he was.

I want him to succeed, I really do. Seems like a good dude who’s been so committed to the program which is why I hate saying - is there any reason to think he brings more than last season?

Will Art Smith better emphasize underneath routes for him while Henry and Smith command an insane amount of attention?

Well done!

Believe that Diebs will be looking for a seasoned PG, and a C in the portal. After watching the Buckeyes this season, and seeing how much Thornton did, cannot really project Mobley, Chatman, or Cupps replacing him. Losing Tilly and Noel hurts, as am more of a Tilly supporter than most. Maybe Noel gets a medical redshirt? Not certain what entails, but think he'd be support, but not a primetime player. Anyway, see things most the same way as others above, Bynum is going to be tested with the NIL portal, and all the 'tampering' that is going to go on.

No one thinks Noel is going to get another year. Both G and C they have major needs. I think they do have flexibility to put Mobley at the 1 as long as they get a guard who can pair well with him by being strong in the areas Mobley isn't particularly strong (defense, size, length, strength, ability to get to the foul line). Ideally they get a tough, athletic, strong big man who can pass the ball and can hit the 3, although Ojianwuna may be able to do most of those things.

Just take a chill pill or step away from the keyboard. The whims of a 17 year old and the reporting us such really have no bearing on my life.

I like the fact that we cruised while Wiscy had a real soap battle on their hands.

4th straight Ohio State v. Wisconsin final. We're 1-2 in the last three.

Our 5th straight appearance in the championship game; we're 2-2 in the last four.

There might be some swimming or track teams that did something similar before or after the war, but this might be the greatest run by any Ohio State team in history.

Guess what am talking about are the public media, of "Ohio State 5* going to visit Texas" type of stuff. If fake news, my bad, wife laughs at me when I take the written word seriously. Hey, hope he's solid to tOSU. But if I were in demand, I'd take these trips, just to see what else is out there. And as Yogi used to say, "it's not over until it's over".

31 points and 27 rebounds for Taris Reed against Furman. Basically carried the team. Uconn isn't going very far if the rest of the team plays this bad again. They were terrible shooting the ball against St Johns in the Big East tourney game too.

That’s the first 30 pt/25 rebound game in the tournament since Elvin Hayes in 1968.

ODOT staff recommending $35 million in state funding for roads near new Browns stadium

Public records show ODOT staffers are suggesting a $35 million award for Brook Park. That’s nearly a quarter of the $150 million that the TRAC, a state council, is expected to award this spring.
