In their defense, they shouldn’t.

Makes no sense to spend resources for a rare event like this.

Low 70's, a bit of rain in the afternoon. Life is good.

Ohio State adds 2026 big-legged kicker Cooper Peterson​

Ohio State has added a big-legged kicker to its 2026 recruiting class in Cooper Peterson.​

Shortly after North Carolina kicker Cooper Peterson visited Ohio State in mid-September, he told Bucknuts he'd "likely" accept an offer from the Buckeyes if he was given one.

True to his word, he committed to the scarlet and gray a few months later.

The Charlotte resident officially committed to the Buckeyes on Friday, Peterson announced on his social media account.

"I'm blessed to announce my commitment to play football and continue my academic career at The Ohio State University," Peterson wrote in his announcement. "I want to thank God for blessing me with this amazing opportunity to play football at Ohio State. I want to thank Coach Daniels, Coach Keys, and Coach Day for giving me this amazing opportunity to play football at an amazing program. Thank you to my family for making everything possible and without their support I wouldn't be in the position I am right now. Thank you to my kicking coach Dan Orner for helping me grow the last few years. Thank you to Corvian football and Coach Chris for believing in me since the start. I also want to thank all of my friends and everyone that has supported me along this journey. I'm excited for what the future holds and I'm proud to say I'm a Buckeye. GO BUCKEYES!"

Peterson visited Ohio State for the Buckeyes' third game of the season against the Ohio Bobcats. It was his second trip to Ohio Stadium, as he visited Columbus for the Iowa game in 2024. The North Carolina standout said he's made it a priority to extend his kicking range within the past season and considers himself a long-distance kicker. He also handled punting duties for Corvian Community High School.

"I'd say I'm probably good from 55 to 60 yards," Peterson told Bucknuts in September. "My coach is happy to send me out there for longer field goals, in practice we attempt it from 60 all the time. As I've gotten in the gym more and gotten stronger, everything has just progressed."

Peterson chose Ohio State over Michigan State, who offered the big-legged kicker earlier this fall.

I'll never get to the airport... but if I did, Newark has delays when it's sunny.. I could be stranded there for hours to the entire day.. then cancellations
Not the least of concerns is how will my family deal with this monster.. driveway and the pups gotta be able to get outside.. if I'm not here..

Buddy of mine that I played ball with lives in Texas with his wife & kids. Said they're expecting 1/2in sheet of ice covering everything and half the place is shutting down.


As for us? 8 degrees as of an hour ago at the last glimpse of sunlight. Set to be 0 overnight and, given NEO, anywhere from 4in to 3ft of snow.

I can deal with the cold. When you mix in tons of accumulation with it, shit starts getting dangerous. Especially for us Hospital (clinical & non clinical) folks.

These are the days I do NOT miss my wife having to work the floors. At her first job out of school she had to basically be the hospital shuttle to pick up coworkers to get to work as she was the only one with AWD back then.

Wow serious malfeasance:

Would have been nice if they could have let you fly out today. I hate being away from the house/family but traveling is stressful enough before throwing the weather/idiots out in the weather.

I don’t think we’ve seen any program then have such a massive turnover like what he did at CU. he Lost 57 players and gained 52, that was the most until this season. Heck, Cignetti is the biggest success story of the transfer portal and he brought in 31 and lost 39. Still 20 players less than Deion.

When he arrived to CU and told the kids that were already there that most of them could leave, because he was bringing in his own players. He told the program how much loyalty meant. I've always loved Prime the player, but as a coach, I think he's the worst part of CFB. And this last year was exactly how I predicted it would go. He could no longer lean on Shedeur and Travis, and when left to actually have to coach the talent/mercenaries he brought in, he was looked like a coach who was in over his head.

The trouble with O line is you need 5. Have the best OT of all time, 3 good linemen and 1 shit guard = a shit o line. Better to take the 5 mil and get 5 good to solid guys, unless they already have 4 good guys to pair with him.

I think it was football outsiders did a study on this a while ago.. That your worst lineman is almost more important than your best lineman

Young, a native of Perrysburg, Ohio, began his career at Cincinnati after graduating high school in 2021. He redshirted that year and spent four total seasons with the Bearcats, but never appeared in a game. He transferred to Houston Christian ahead of his fifth season, seeking an opportunity to start at the FCS level.

In his first year as a starter with the Huskies in 2025, Young averaged 41.8 yards per punt across 69 boots, with 17 punts downed inside the opposing 20-yard line and 12 that traveled 50 yards or more. He had one punt clear 60 yards, a career-long 66-yard boot against Northern Colorado on Sept. 20.

Just sayin':
1. Anybody know how he qualifies for a 6th year? Doesn't the year at Houston Christian count?
2. Yeah, he'll get to compete for P1; however, I'll say the coaches just picked him up expecting him to be the back up punter.

Competition is really important here; this at least forces McGuire to work harder and hopefully improve some.

While I have no idea how credible this is, specifically in this case... I don't think for a second that this kind of thing hasn't been happening all along. The only differences now are:
1) It's not just the SEC doing it at scale (I'm sure it happened elsewhere, but likely not anywhere near as much as in the SEC), and
2) With NIL, people will openly talk about it as part of the landscape. Before everything was speculation and hushed because getting a bag in the drive thru at McDs was on the down low. Now it's out there in the open for everyone to see.

I'm not excusing it in any way. To be clear, it's pretty gross. But also to be clear, I don't think it's anything new. We just didn't get this kind of exposure.

Puke.

Joint agreement made by both head Coaches before match begins.

Ohio State to Replace Scoreboard in Schottenstein Center​

The Schottenstein Center will have a new look above center court (and across the arena) beginning next season.

For the first time since 2008, Ohio State is set to replace the scoreboard in the arena, a project that was approved by the Board of Trustees and will begin in April. Eighteen years ago, the replacement and upgrade celebrated the 10th season of basketball played at the Schottenstein Center. Nearly two decades later, it's time to give the arena an updated look.

The project will replace the existing scoreboard at center court, the 360-degree ribbon board and all outdated LED boards and signs. It has a $5.2 million budget and will be completed by September.

The Schottenstein Center's current scoreboard is not only one of the oldest in the Big Ten, but it is also one of the smallest in college basketball, considering the arena's size. While the new scoreboard will likely increase in size slightly, it must still fit within the existing blueprint atop the

Schottenstein Center – essentially to "hide" it for other non-basketball and hockey events – and will reuse the hoist as well. Ohio State is limited on the shape and size of the new scoreboard due to this.
