Michigan WR Claims Sherrone Moore Was Blackmailed in Crash-Out Upon Entering Transfer Portal

Michigan’s turbulent 2025 season just keeps getting messier. Anthony Simpson, the 5-foot-11 wide receiver who transferred in from UMass last offseason, entered the transfer portal on Friday.

Some stability emerges from the wreckage​

Their "stability" with Whittingham is likely going to be 8-4 type seasons with maybe a back-end playoff appearance every so often if the schedule falls right for them.

Whittingham has a worse record against top 25 teams than Frames does for context.

The Game is over ref quit the fuckery! Bullshit right here.

Got Damn that girl can shoot!!

Girls have busted their asses since that first quarter. They deserve to win this game today.

With the star player having an off game for the first 3 quarters and still get a Top 10 win is impressive to me.

Not to mention the horse shit bank 3s from the side of the basket!

Why even contest the 3 when you‘re up 4 with less than 3 seconds left?

Money! Huge 3 with 15 seconds left has them up by 4.

Chance!

Refs just stealing the game now ...

I think we basically held serve on the defensive side. Considering that we lost four 1st team AAs to graduation/draft, that's outstanding. I feel a lot better about the lineup and depth than I did a week ago.

They got 3 Buckeye chances for a title, even though I hate New England

I was thinking the same thing, it is a lot harder to hate them with Vrabes as HC. No way I can root against him, even though it is the Pats...who I hate way less with Brady gone.

OLYMPIC VILLAGE (LITERALLY!) The Ohio State women’s hockey team will have 12 (yes, 12!) representatives at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. The Buckeyes will be represented on five of the 10 Olympic teams, an absurd number that underscores just how loaded the program has become.

• Cayla Barnes (graduated in 2024) – USA
• Hannah Bilka (2024) – USA
• Andrea Braendli (2022) - Switzerland
• Joy Dunne – USA
• Jenn Gardiner (2024) – Canada
• Sophie Jaques (2023) – Canada
• Mira Jungåker – Sweden
• Emma Maltais (2023) – Canada
• Jenna Raunio – Sweden
• Natalie Spooner (2012) - Canada
• Hilda Svensson – Sweden
• Sanni Vanhanen – Finland

Ohio State has become a powerhouse under Nadine Muzerall, including two national titles and four championship game appearances in the past four seasons, winning titles in 2021–22 (Minnesota Duluth) and 2023–24 (Wisconsin) while falling to the Badgers in 2022–23 and 2024–25.

In the history of NCAA women’s hockey, only five programs have ever won a national championship: Wisconsin (eight), Minnesota (six), Minnesota Duluth (five), Clarkson (three) and Ohio State (two).

This season, the Buckeyes are ranked No. 2 in the USCHO poll behind Wisconsin and sit at 21–3 overall. Their only losses came on the road at Minnesota and in back-to-back home games against the Badgers.

Ohio State’s season will continue without three forwards (Dunne, Svensson and Vanhanen) and two defensemen (Raunio and Jungåker). The Buckeyes are set to host St. Thomas on Friday and Saturday and Minnesota Duluth on Jan. 30 and 31 before traveling to Wisconsin for a two-game series on Feb. 7 and 8.

The 2026 Winter Olympics will open on Feb. 6, with women’s hockey competition running from Feb. 5–19.

The Ohio State Football Program is Worth $1.55 Billion​

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY… MONEY! CNBC’s Michael Ozanian reported on Dec. 19 that Texas ($1.48 billion), Ohio State ($1.35 billion) and Texas A&M ($1.32 billion) were the three most valuable college athletics programs.

One month later, The Wall Street Journal’s Andrew Beaton published a new set of valuations compiled by Indiana professor Dr. Ryan Brewer — this time focused solely on college football. Those numbers would suggest that Ozanian’s projections were what ESPN’s Mike Breen would call way off.

According to Brewer, Texas still has the most valuable college football team — again, just the football team, not the entire athletics department — at $2.2 billion. Texas A&M ranks second at $1.59 billion, followed by Ohio State at $1.55 billion. LSU ($1.54 billion) and Michigan ($1.46 billion) round out the top five.

“Brewer’s study examines industry trends, cash flows, revenue and broader economic shifts to calculate what each team would be worth if it could be bought and sold on the open market — just like a sports franchise,” Beaton wrote.

Perhaps Ozanian used a different formula. Perhaps his numbers reflect current institutional value rather than open-market valuation. I do not know. Regardless, it’s clear that college athletics programs — and college football teams in particular — have never been more valuable than they are right now. Brewer told Beaton as much.

Just sayin': Apparently there is no one definitive formula to calculate the value of a school's athletic program....

You breathe on Miles and they call a foul.

JFC we are working our asses off, take a lead and then a lucky ass bank shot 3 gets them the lead back.

I'm going to go chop some wood somewhere. I don't even have a fireplace.

Offense should be better. Really going to come down to coaching. Day needs another homerun hire. You can have all the talent in the world, and still only average 12points over 2 games if your coaching is in shambles. Ask me how I know...

4 chances to take this lead and can't do it. Mercy.

Love the energy now though seems we've got a second wind.

I'd say maybe equal at QB, better at RB and WR, probably a little worse at TE, but that could/should even out, and no worse off at OL. That's a LOT better than I thought we'd have a week or so ago.

WR is interesting. For me you have to decide how much value you invent for unrealized potential (especially Mylan). It's such a new era that losing the next wave of stars is painful, but if you value that, you begin comparing the newcomers against a standard that the departing WRs never achieved.

If you compare what OSU had in 25 to what they could have in 26, it's a clear upgrade, because they didn't trust Graham and barely used Porter. That has no relevance to how much they lost, but rather how the unit changes from 25.

25 Smith < 26 Smith
25 Tate > Henry
25 Porter < Jones
25 Graham ??? Guiford
25 Rodgers = Bell ???
25 Inniss = 26 Iniss

Jones, Henry and one of Guilford/Bell do not have to rise to the level of Tate as a group.

They also have to perform better as a unit with Sayin, who should have a pretty significant jump that most QBs enjoy from year 1 to 2. By the end of the year, the OL + QB were bigger factors than the WR depth. Howard had 1/5th of Julian's passing potential, but was so much more comfortable in his role in the postseason, like you would expect given their age. We just got teased with a QB that seemed to be way beyond his years earlier in 2025 (and frankly still was, just not to the level that our selfishness would prefer)

Hoohoo thats a big 4th foul now on their big. Attack that!

Laughing at myself now realizing that this is probably why I dont go to games in person anymore because I am way too animated for a spectator. LOL

I saw it also and didn't hear why, but please don't let it be to emulate Cronin. I'd lose all respect for Diebler if he wanted to emulate Cronin and have to start a FIRE DIEBLER thread.

I don't think there is any worry of that but I have noticed that some games there appears to be either an agreement or a dress code stated for games such as tournaments. It seems these guys often are dressed similar but not every time. Maybe it was an "Ohio" guy agreement or something. I'm sure he'll have his OSU gear back on Tuesday but maybe the coat and tie is a spark?

He didn’t fight for that NIL for no reason
