Point taken. Philly is where the 'fans' booed Santa Claus? Still, golf is a gentleperson sport. Only sport in the world where one calls a violation on themselves. Have attended more than several pro tournaments, and prefer to sit around the drive landing area, to watch the second shot, rather than crowding around tee box. Heck, when playing, and standing 10 feet from golfer teeing off, still lose the ball in the sky, so what's the big deal...probably best place is up against the ropes with clear vision of the putting green.

Always an appropriate comment...

Color me unimpressed. Certainly get the hype, and enjoy seeing a Buckeye or two mentioned in the running, but haven't the faintest idea of why those selected are selected. Statistics, certainly. Team position, probably. Intangibles, maybe. ESPN recommendation, hopefully not. And always tickles me to see where the NFL drafts said Heisman winner each year. (Guess that's the ultimate test, ?) And if one looks at the Biletnikopf (sp?) each year, amazed that Jeremiah doesn't have two trophies sitting on his mantle right now. If he had a vote from every pundit that said he is 'the best player in college', would be a runaway. Certainly not trying to hijack this thread, but when I read it, other oversights creep into my pea brain. Go Bucks!

Actually thought it was a 'bit of class' that tOSU players didn't even make a move toward the logo. Would also bet vcash that there was a lot of angst in the Xichigan locker room figuring out how/who would go to war over said logo. And all for naught. Was very proud of the Buckeyes for that great move. I probably would have faked a run at the logo, just to see the reaction it got. But then I'm a tad childish.

Great question, unfortunately we don't know, and coaching staff not talking. Only thing can surmise, is that the allotted number of WR schollies has been reached? Hartline could never add 26 WRs to the team, and thus, Hankton is limited to whatever number he has been given to play with. Would also have to believe that the OL position is reaching its zenith this year as well. Might be a fun discussion to be a fly upon the wall. How many players (at a given position) are out of eligibility, how many might go pro early, who is disgruntled and maybe enter portal. Hope the Buckeyes crystal balls are working well....always hate to lose out on a kid who comes back to bite us in the butt on gameday, when he could have been wearing scarlet & gray (or black or white, or whatever color Nike will pay for). Go Bucks!

@BUCKDUBBS007 are you able to reseed your 2025 game torrents? I lost those files from my HD.

I checked my torrent client and my 2025 games are still being seeded. Let me know if you have trouble connecting.

On to the Analytics Finals

Should be an interesting offseason. As one Cleveland reporter wrote - they are a good team, not a great one.

Let's see what Dan and Koby have up their sleeves. I do wonder if they go the Knicks route - fire their head coach even though he took them to the Conference Finals. Personally, it seems like they need to make some roster adjustments first. But I am just an armchair point guard;-)

Good thing we switched to OBP from batting average then. If your teams goes 4 for 197 but draws a shit ton of walks, then that’s still a respectable OBP for you!

Yeah, not sure what Coach Hankton is waiting on

This is my Lee Corso vs Ohio State moment….


Just ignore the 15 ERA my pitching has dammit

Welcome to the fam Prince! Another avatar type LB similar to Sonny and Arvell that JL will want to be able to move around to utilize his athleticism best. Put 20+lbs on him and stand him up on th edge, or move back to a traditional LB

Cleveland pro sports teams amirite

Goldsby received his Ohio State offer on Feb. 27. Laurinaitis was relatively late to the process, extending an offer after programs such as Alabama, Missouri, Oregon, Ole Miss, Penn State, Miami, and Indiana had already entered the mix. Still, Laurinaitis has repeatedly shown an ability to close on elite linebacker talent, and he did so again with one of the top defensive prospects in the country.

Indiana being on there is ridiculous. Yeah they are a hot commodity but they've had what, 2 Heisman winners that I can think of a d that's 50 years watching CFB? Lmao

Definitely a kid you don't stop recruiting. Kid is going to electric at the next level, if we could pull off the coup here and have him and Jamier lining up together... there is going to be one lucky QB in the future.

Really big commitment and a big time LB was a need, so this is filling a position of need with great talent. Welcome aboard Prince!

Why, statistically, Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana, Miami, or LSU will have the next Heisman winner​

The Ohio State Buckeyes are one of the likeliest programs to have College Football's Heisman Trophy winner for the 2026 season. ​

First and foremost, because there hasn't been a non-WR/QB winner in over a decade, Julian Sayin is coming off a Heisman finalist season, and Jeremiah Smith is the most hyped-up player in the sport.

CBS Sports' Brad Crawford noted that every winner since Bryce Young was also a transfer, which particularly bodes well for Sayin. He also put the Oregon Ducks, with former UCLA transfer QB Dante Moore, the Indiana Hoosiers, with TCU Horned Frogs transfer QB Josh Hoover, the Miami Hurricanes, with Duke Blue Devils transfer QB Darian Mensah, and the LSU Tigers, with Arizona State Sun Devils transfer QB Sam Leavitt, in the same category that sees the state of the game as "good news."

"The last four Heisman winners have been transfers. Sign of the times, right? Fernando Mendoza (Indiana, 2025), Travis Hunter (Colorado, 2024), Jayden Daniels (LSU, 2023) and Caleb Williams (USC, 2022) all struck gold at different programs from where they originally signed, which is great news for the quarterbacks at Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana, Miami and LSU, should history repeat itself. Three of those elites added new signal callers this offseason, while returning starters Julian Sayin and Dante Moore for the Buckeyes and Ducks, respectively, were once transfers themselves," Crawford wrote.

Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith have obvious Heisman narratives in 2026​

2026 is set up to be a major one for Sayin and/or Smith's Heisman narrative. For one, the Buckeyes face perhaps the most daunting schedule in the entire country, with perhaps the toughest non-conference game against the Texas Longhorns in Austin. Meanwhile, their showdowns against the Iowa Hawkeyes, USC Trojans, Oregon, Indiana, and TTUN represent the most projected preseason top-25 opponents on the schedule any team will face this fall.

Beyond that, Arthur Smith's system could be built for Smith to thrive, but of course, Sayin can win the award by having many of his game-winning throws go to Chris Henry Jr. or the rest of the receiving corps, which have failed to generate much hype this spring beyond those two and feel-good story Brock Boyd.

There are many reasons why voters would have an Ohio State player at the top of mind this December when the decision is cast. It's been exactly two decades since Troy Smith won the award, marking the longest period since the QB's win that a Buckeye has won it. Smith ended a 19-year drought, while Archie Griffin broke an 18-year drought with his win in 1973.
