To echo what @ORD_Buckeye said, if we know what amount needs to be the monthly threshold, we can all equally contribute.

I presume if you had 50 with $1.99 a month (just spit balling numbers) that would be ideal.

As for start up capital - again, if we can get a number, an approximation on 3 month cost, I know I'd be happy to contribute.

Edit: Will McNeilings be a thing again ?

Dear God, say 'yes'

Urban Meyer gives insight as to how Ohio State will integrate Arthur Smith​

The Ohio State football program will have a new offensive coordinator to learn from in 2026. The former Buckeye head coach talks about how it will work.

The Ohio State football program will have a new offensive coordinator for next season. With Brian Hartline now in Tampa, the Buckeyes needed someone who could come in and call plays. Ryan Day's play-calling against the Hurricanes was a disaster, so they can't let that happen again.

Ultimately, Day decided that Arthur Smith was the right person to come in and coordinate the offense. Smith was the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers in each of the last two years. Before that, he was the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.

Simply put, he has a wealth of experience and has an idea of how he wants the Buckeyes to play offense. Former coach Urban Meyer gave some insight as to how Day will integrate a new offense for the Ohio State Buckeyes and how smooth the transition will be.

Urban Meyer offers insight to the Ohio State football team's new offense​

While speaking on the Triple Option Podcast, Meyer offered up his take on how Day will mesh his offensive ideas with what Smith wants to do.

"Ryan's pretty well set in his offense. That's the same offense, terminology, we used when I was there. Chip Kelly changed it a little bit because the minute you hire a big-name coordinator, the coordinator is going to run his stuff...I think there's going to be a little bit of a mesh of what he's (Smith) done before."

Smith has a very run-happy offense. He ran that while he was with the Titans, Falcons, and Steelers. Ohio State's offense under Day has been more predicated on the passing game. That's why Jeremiah Smith is one of the best players in the country. Keeping him and Julian Sayin happy will be key.

The Buckeyes need to have a stronger run game to maintain balance, but not at the expense of Smith's touches. Sayin was a Heisman Finalist this past season, and Smith should want to make sure he develops even further. Day is going to make sure that happens.

2026 NFL Draft April 23 - 25 at Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh

Ohio State is about to put four players in the NFL Draft’s top 10

Ohio State is about to put four players in the NFL Draft’s top 10​

Elite production, positional versatility, and first-round traits across the board have positioned Ohio State for a historic night at the top of the NFL Draft.

Caleb Downs: generational safety, modern evaluation problem​

Arvelle Reese: the draft’s most dangerous chess piece​

Carnell Tate: WRU’s next elite receiver​

Sonny Styles: redefining the off-ball linebacker ceiling​

The bigger picture​

Kayden McDonald will almost certainly hear his name called in the first round as well, but the top-ten conversation belongs to these four.

What makes this moment notable is not just the number, but the diversity of elite talent. A safety, a hybrid linebacker, a wide receiver, and a coverage-savvy linebacker climbing boards simultaneously speaks to Ohio State’s ability to develop players across the spectrum of modern football.

Four Buckeyes in the top ten is not an anomaly, it is a reflection of how the game is changing, and how Ohio State continues to stay ahead of it.

Rink Roundup: Ohio State’s women’s hockey team continues to roll in 2026​

While the weather is cold outside, Ohio State’s women’s hockey team is red hot on the ice.

Ohio State’s women’s hockey team has come out of the gates strong in 2026. With two wins last weekend over St. Thomas, the Buckeyes have now all eight of the games they have played in the new year.

The last time Ohio State suffered a loss came in their final two games of 2025 when they were beaten by Wisconsin, who is currently the top-ranked team in the country.

In their first game last weekend against St. Thomas, Ohio State almost tasted defeat for the first time this calendar year. The Buckeyes fell behind in the middle of the second period when Whitney Horton of the Tommies scored the first goal of the game.

The score remained 1-0 until Jocelyn Amos tied the game up at the 7:58 mark of the third period. The game would go to overtime, where Amos would score just 38 seconds into the extra session to give the Buckeyes their seventh straight win.

Despite trailing for most of the game, Ohio State controlled most of the action on Friday night, outshooting St. Thomas 47-10. Taylor Kressin started in goal for the Buckeyes in the series opener, pushing her record to 6-0 on the season. In 360 minutes on the ice this season, Kressin has only allowed eight goals.

Ohio State didn’t have to sweat over the result on Saturday, defeating St. Thomas 5-0. Jordyn Petrie opened up the scoring less than two minutes into the game with an unassisted goal. Five minutes into the second period Jocelyn Amos tallied her third period of the weekend.
Joy Dunne and Maxine Cimoroni added second period goals, while Sloane Matthews scored the final goal of the game for the Buckeyes in the third period.

Just like on Friday night, Ohio State only allowed St. Thomas to record 10 shots on goal. Hailey McLeod got the start in goal on Saturday, notching her fourth shutout of the season.

McLeod now has a 13-2 record on the season, posting a 1.50 goals against average, and registering a .922 save percentage in the 16 games she has appeared in. As a team, the Buckeyes are outscoring opponents 119-44 in the 26 games they have played.

With two assists on Friday, followed by scoring a goal on Saturday, Joy Dunne tied Hilda Svensson for the team lead with 44 points this season.
Svensson had an assist in each game last weekend. Dunne leads the team with 25 goals, while Svensson is the team’s leader with 29 assists so far this season. The two skaters are the only Buckeyes with more than 30 points, and they make up two of the five players on the team with at least 10 goals.

Next up for the Buckeyes are games on Friday and Saturday in Columbus this weekend against Minnesota Duluth. Ohio State swept the two games the programs played in November in Duluth. In the first game between the teams, Maxine Cimoroni scored the first goal nearly 10 minutes into the first period.

Joy Dunne extended the lead in the second period before the Bulldogs pulled a goal back in the third. Dunne restored the two-goal lead late in the third period with an empty net tally to secure the 3-1 win.

After playing the first two seasons of her college career with Minnesota Duluth, Hailey McLeod transferred to Ohio State prior to last season. McLeod got the start in goal in the first game of the weekend, stopping 24 shots.

The victory was a bit of revenge for McLeod, who lost in the only game she played against her former team last season, which also happened to be the first game she started for Ohio State.

OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

Some interesting points between these two videos, plus some of my own thoughts.

1. Expect the offense under Smith to look a lot like the 2019 offense - heavy zone/stretch run scheme with play action deep shots and boot legs (obviously Sayin is a bit different physically/athletically than Fields, which impacts how much you can or want to do with him running around).
2. Possibly the biggest problem with the Stealers offense this past season was that Rodgers was ineffective throwing the deep ball (plus a lack of threats outside of Metcalf who was just double teamed), which eliminated a major component of how Smith likes to attack a defense.
3.The zone/stretch run scheme puts more stress on a defense deciding between extra defenders covering Smith on one side and covering the stretch run on the other side because there are more possible running lanes that need filled (compared to gap run schemes).
4. It is easier to audible between run plays in a zone/stretch run offense with less pulling from the OL and (theoretically) less things for them to screw up, combined with Sayin in year two, expect him to have more on his plate when it comes to audibles this year.
5. It is without question that Smith has significantly more experience and established effectiveness incorporating TEs and a FB into the offense compared to Hartline, which, based on the portal moves, will continue to be the plan.
6. Day is looking to duplicate the situation he had with Kelly - an OC who can implement effective run game schemes on top of Day’s passing schemes, as well as an experienced guy who can be trusted with game preparation through the week and calling plays on game day. This is basically the opposite of what he had with Hartline last year, and Day made a strong move to correct that.
7. It seems like success on offense will depend on a veteran OL being able to establish an identity and consistent effectiveness zone blocking, with Sayin helping out with effective audibles and stressing the defense down the field (with an emphasis on play action passes).

Seems like a solid plan building on Ohio State’s strengths combined with the expertise of the new OC.

It feels really well thought out with a clear idea of what Day wants that duplicates past successes in 2019 and 2024.

Thanks for the breakdown. If it goes well, it may be a awesome season ahead.

The Oline concerns me, but hopefully they can develop them further this offseason.

50 people at 10/month, and we should not only meet the monthly nut but start building an emergency fund to cover any unforseen issues.

One thing is that I did away with my PayPal account some time ago. Would prefer another method. For the time being can I directly zelle you the money until some subscription method is up and running?

The math is correct but do we have 50 people that will give $10/month? First, do we have 50 people who will give monthly? The EPs should have an idea of how many regular posters (who are the most likely to give) we have.
There will be people who, because of finances or apathy or whatever, will give nothing or maybe $5/month. There are others who will give between $5-$10/month. Some who begin giving monthly will fall off.
A banket statement of just give $10/month will cause a shortfall. We will need those who will commit to between $10/month and $50/month for long term stability. We do not want to have to come back in panic mode because of a shortfall in 10 or 12 or 14 months.
That is a simplified version of Fundraising 101.
