I will make a factual correction to this story and even relate it back to the current Ohio State wrestling team in exchange for @Romanowski contributing a new story to one of BP's great threads: https://buckeyeplanet.com/forum/thr...ng-instances-about-romos-old-man.36439/page-3 . Ball is in your court Romo.

I could be wrong but don't think OSU would get a better player in his place.

Ohio State Synchronized Swimming Wins 34th National Title​

March 25, 2023
Moving as one, these athletes make it look easy. Don’t be fooled. They put in monumental work to become champions.

Ohio State’s synchronized swimming team continues to dominate.

The Buckeyes won their 34th national title in program history on Saturday, finishing first at the U.S. Collegiate Championship in Westmont, Illinois. OSU won the event with 95 total team points, while Stanford finished as the runner-up with 92 points.
OSU's title is the second consecutive national championship for the program, and the Buckeyes have won six of the last eight titles.

I heard today that Friday was the first time since 1992 that on a single day that didn't have a single 10+ seed advancing.

The first 40 years of NCAA tournaments with 64 teams (1985-2024) before NIL and massive portal moves

#13 seeds went 33-127 (20.6%)
#14 seeds went 23-137 (14.4%)
#15 seeds went 11-149 (6.9%)
#16 seeds went 2-158 (1.3%)

In total 69 wins in 40 tournaments with only 5 tournaments out of the 40 years going 0-16.

2025+2026 about to be 0-32 for 0.0%

Pretty safe to say the NIL error and massive portal movement has killed the true mid majors.

The days of 2011 VCU, 2010 Butler, 2011 Butler, 2006 George Mason, 2013 Wichita State, 2023 Florida Atlantic, 2018 Loyola Chi making the final 4 are gone forever.

Even a St Peter's 15 seed making the Elite 8 won't ever happen again.

We got the High Point win but they were a 12 seed and VCU and they were an 11 seed and is VCU even a true mid major ?

That is about what we will get each year a couple back in the day we used to have 5 or 6 true mid majors and almost always got a 13-16 usually 2 of them each year. Some years we got 4 of the 13+ seeds.

All that is all but over we might get a lucky one here and there but the years of them having all 5 seniors gone. If anyone are good they are taking the money and moving up.

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.

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

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!
