The Ohio State Baseball (Official Thread)

Is the general consensus that tOSU has 'turned a corner'? Or still too many holes in the line-up? When our kids have a good year, the pros feel that hey if he can do with a mediocre team, bet he can do better when he's got some talent around him.......kinda a joke...but the pros seem to scout out the good players, and dangle probably more money than NIL brings in - and they're playing a game they've been playing all their lives...cannot say I wouldn't leap at the chance. Play golf with a couple of guys that were drafted, one #80 (of which he's very proud), and another drafted out of Cal as a junior. Anyway, they bounced around in the minors for a time, and finally realization set in, and came back to hometown and actually both became teachers, and another played ten years in the bigs, now a Fire Dept Captain. Great memories for those guys, and gotta hope that for our Buckeyes as well. Guess my message is to follow your dream, do the best for as long as you can, and then rely on your Buckeye sheepskin to make your way in the world with some great memories.

What’s an incredibly widespread problem in today’s world is that this has become normalized and accepted behavior at the highest levels of society.
Yep hard to argue we don't condone it with our highest leaders acting that way

I'll be... unfiltered.

I don't give a fuck about the cheating. At the same time, anyone on this board can spare us the sanctimonious "he who is without sin" nonsense and piss right off.

Being a cheater is low. Proud to say I may be abrasive, if not a bit of an asshole; but I'm neither dishonest nor a cheat.


That said, what bothers me the most about this situation is that these two were clearly caught. Instead of owning it and apologizing immediately, they lied, attempted to gaslight (I believe that's how this would be used) anyone with a pair of eyes and reason into believing what what we saw wasn't reality.

THAT is an incredibly widespread problem in today's world. The inability to admit one's fault and own it without blaming others. Yet, somehow, it's a prevalent and effect tactic.

What is most tragic is that it makes any attempt at an apology hollow. It's coerced, rehearsed, and meaningless. You wished to carry on without consequence until the truth was so undeniable that generations yet born could even see it. To not pause at any point, self-reflect and admit wrong, all while accusing others of wrong doing, is near sociopathic.

Like I said, 75% of people are full of shit. All it takes is the correct topic to bring the stink out.

PG Duane Washington Jr. (3rd Team All-B1G, 1st Team All-B1G Tourney, Partizan)

Wanted to see how Duane Washington Jr. was doing overseas, and saw that he broke a league scoring record earlier this season.

Duane Washington scores 48 for a new all-time ABA League record​

Link: https://www.eurohoops.net/en/aba/19...-partizan-completes-the-comeback-in-slovenia/

Career-high for Duane Washington Jr (48 points, 10/14 from beyond the arc). He also had the ABA all-time high, surpassing Daron Russell, who scored 47 in 2022.

2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

I'm thinking they might try to add 1 more transfer (probably a more true 3 type) but it's going to be a lower end commodity as that would be a real deep end bench role
According to Adam Jardy, they are expected to stick with the 10 "NIL" players they already have for the rotation. I would not hold my breath on them adding another serious player.

Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 20 Straight B1G Titles)

Record shows that in the last 65 years only one team north of the mason dixon line has won the NCAA d1 tennis title, (Illinois in 2003).

Didn't realize doubles legend Rajeev Ram was on that Illinois team - the fact he's 42 and still playing great in doubles is insane!
