John Mobley Jr. Already Eager to Get to Work for Better Close to Next Season for Ohio State Basketball​

“It's definitely fuel to the fire, and it's going to be motivation for me every day for the summer coming up and the work I'm ready to put in to make sure we get back in this position and go further next time,” Mobley said.

Ohio State is looking to the future much faster than it wanted after making its first NCAA Tournament in four years. But with Bruce Thornton off to start his professional career after setting the school’s all-time scoring record, Mobley will be the most seasoned returning guard heading into 2026-27 for the Buckeyes. And he’s already motivated to make that year a better one.

Time not only to resurrect this thread but also dust off the old ski legs. Actually, this gives me plenty of time to get in shape for the 26-27 ski season. Now I just wish I lived in some place that has more than 300 vertical feet and mayyyyyybe two months of it being cold enough for them to make snow/ice.

Miami of Ohio is taking notes.

Seeing Duke lose to Siena under normal circumstances would be absolutely hilarious, but right now just another massive kick in the nuts.

If you can't see Siena beating Duke as one of the greatest things ever......I dunno, that just makes me sad for you.

See ORD for the actual answer, but I don't think Wexner's money went to football. And right now, I think his money is going to keep his name on buildings and out of the news.

If I were him, I'd want my name off everything. But he's probably insane so you're right.

I don’t know that I give him an extension at this point, but rather a raise and an incentive laden contract that includes the extension based on criteria. I’m guessing he got a bonus for the tournament appearance.

They need NIL money. Look at his team's performance after a time out vs other coaches.

And he also needs a tin foil hat so that the aliens don't get him again at the end of the first half and game. There's that too.

Give him time.

And let's be honest, Thump understands has demonstrated turd expertise over many years.

Why would you harass a total stranger in a public setting for just wearing a hat? (I know. Rhetorical question.)

Because they are TCUN fans?

Not calling out anyone, but the negativity and doubt in the basketball threads won't get us anywhere. It's not about what can go wrong but a continued focus on what can go right.

Has Jax given up yet? I THINK NOT!

She's searching for Jax every day...

Tilly was the big miss considering he was recruited for a position that had no competition. He would have been fine had he rotated with another experienced center of his caliber or better or a freshman 4/5* . Noll, had he been healthy, would have been a nice rotation piece that added needed depth.

My question is, how does a coach go about bringing in depth from the transfer portal? You want guys that will push the starters but what’s the sales pitch to a transfer if not a chance to start?

What’s the odds that guys we are banking on for next year Mobley, Royal, Bynum get money to go elsewhere?

There’s a Tibor75 in this group. I’m not sure if he’s incognito or not.

scUM losing to this thing would be some good stuff

Went to a hockey game tonight. We generally go to 20-25 games a year and I always wear a Preds jersey and a tOSU hat. There are some guys we've sat close to for a few years who occasionally hassle me about my hat. But we're talking to each other a lot so its all good natured. We know each other (remember, I'm in the middle of S-E-C country).

Tonight there was some jackass a few seats over who hollered over at me, "Did somebody pay you to wear that hat?" Understand, this was someone not in the group of people we normally interact with and someone I've never seen before. I initially ignored him. He then hollered the same question.

Jackass: Did somebody pay you to wear that hat?
Me: No, I'm proud of my alma mater.
Jackass: Go Blue
Me: You mean go cheaters?
Jackass: O-H-N-O
Me: C-H-E-A-T-E-R-S
Me: You need to read the history of your great Fielding Yost and find out why you were thrown out of the conference. You've always cheated.
Jackass: (Crickets)

Why would you harass a total stranger in a public setting for just wearing a hat? (I know. Rhetorical question.)

With a 6-3 win over the rangers the CBJ move into 3rd place in the metro (games in hand tiebreaker over the Islanders) and currently hold a playoff spot

18-0 St Louis in the 2nd half. 67-32. Welcome back to the big dance, UGA. Bucks are out, but I guess St Louis vs. TCUN will be fun. The skunks won't be as easy for the Billikens to defend, tho.

This is an all time bad performance by Georgia
