We're still working on how to do subscriptions as steady cash flow is great (but any type of gift is appreciated)


The absolute minimum will be $350/month, if there are no surprises, long support tickets or big upgrades.

$1400, so that we have 4 months of coverage... and stay at least one month beyond triggering the slow shutdown when we hit 3 months or less of funding.

BuckeyePlanet Calls for Aid! -- Let this be the hour!

We have 20,369 registered members. How many of those members have been active in the last month? Is there a way to track that? If we can identify the number of active members, we can then get a good idea of what is needed from each member to sustain the site.
Let’s charge an “inactive” fee for those who no longer visit the site.
Problem solved.

My guess is not a lot.

Ohio State @ Wisconsin, Saturday Jan. 31, 2pm EST, FOX

The Badgers have a "big 3" of Nick Boyd, John Blackwell and Nolan Winter. Boyd has been in college since the 2020-21 season, and his game has the polish to show for it; additionally, he was a starter on FAU's 2023 Final Four team. Boyd is currently #3 in the B1G in scoring at 20 ppg, which puts him slightly ahead of Bruce Thornton. Blackwell is not far behind at 18.4 (good for 8th in the conference), while Winter is even with Devin Royal at 13.9. Obviously trying to contain Boyd, Blackwell and Winter will be a challenge. That being said, Wisconsin has a team profile that is comparable to OSU overall, with the teams ranking basically even on Kenpom, so you'd like to think this is a game that the Buckeyes have a legitimate chance in.

Ohio State Women's Ice Hockey (2022 WCHA Champions, 2022, 2024 National Champions)

Pretty wild that the top four teams are all B1G.


With our success, I'm shocked that the cheaters haven't rushed to add a team. That's what they did with men's lacrosse. Ignored it for decades when we were irrelevant, but the moment we gained some national prominence, they couldn't add a team fast enough.

We did really well back in the early days of BP doing events (shirt sales, poker tournaments, tailgates, etc). Perhaps we should get back to doing those things again. I wouldn't mind pitching in and helping organize again.

This site has been a part of my life for nearly 20 years. I really would hate to see it go.

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

I wouldn't play the "what if" game with this team because there have been a handful of close games that OSU has won. I'd say the Buckeyes have prevailed more often than not in games that came down to the wire this season. They had to rally and had just a 1-point lead within the last 30 seconds at Northwestern (won by 4). While it wasn't super close at the end, they had to rally at Rutgers. The Buckeyes had to get a bucket from Tilly in the final possession to beat ND. They had to go to double-OT to beat West Virginia, and OT to beat Minnesota. The other reason I don't look back and wonder "what could have been" is there are plenty of chances looking ahead that offer this team the opportunity to earn their way into the tournament. I feel like they've improved as the season has developed so they have legitimate hopes of earning their way into the field with the games remaining on the schedule, and it's not going to take them performing over their heads to do it.

No way that was 13 years ago, was it?

I was just talking about that thread with my oldest son and nephew as we just moved to Charlotte. I shared the link with them because they couldn't believe how outrageous it was.

Being down here now, there's a part of me that wants to attend some of the Charlotte Alumni group functions just to talk to some of the people who may have been around for it. It would be kinda cool to connect the "from BP side" to the "Charlotte Alumni side." You have to think that some of them still tell stories about it the same way we do.

Better yet, show up to an event claiming to be the real Giovanni Strassini.

13 years ago and The Strassini Affair still delivers!
I occasionally use one of those phrases outside of BP and people look at me weird! (TBH, they do that anyways)
STRONZO!
