Not Cael?!?
Not Mesenbrink?!?!?
Not Duke or Blaze?!?!?!?!?

Well deserved on all fronts. Davino has been fun to watch all year and he definitely learned from his previous match with Blaze. I think he deserved it over PJ Duke. Mendez is a true ambassador of the sport and of OSU. People like him don’t come around very often. I’m hoping he gets the Hodge Trophy as well.

I think (hope) we will start to see some more parity in the sport over the next few years. Okie State and VA Tech will have some good teams and will challenge Penn State on the individual level. Ohio State will be right there.

I’m curious if Tom Ryan dips his toes into the portal again after the season is over or if he tries to swing some other previously committed recruits our way.
With limited NIL (reported $400k) and no revenue sharing for wrestling at tOSU it will be very difficult in the portal for Ryan. Ped State has a reported $1.5 million revenue sharing and a lot more than that NIL. After poaching Rocco last year you don't think they and others (Okie State for one) will make a run at Davino? Not saying they'll get him, but they'll make a run. That said, I wouldn't bet against Ryan. He's done a great job keeping his guys.

BP Fantasy Baseball est. 2008 (Current Champion = Ahiacitian)

My only additional suggestion would be to end the playoffs a week sooner. As it currently stands, the championship week is set for the final week of the season which can be problematic as teams that have clinched playoff spots rest players and teams that are out of it shut down players.

any objections to ending playoffs a week sooner?

roster spots?

Holy Buckeye!


THE STARS WERE ALIGNED. I had a blast on the latest 12th Warriors Happy Hour with Michael Jenkins. The Ohio State legend joined members of Eleven Warriors’ selfless perks program on Thursday to discuss his college career, NFL career and life after football.

I could share many details about the call — and I likely will in the future — but I have to start with Jenkins’ breakdown of Holy Buckeye. Eleven Warriors ranked last offseason as Ohio State’s No. 1 play since 2000, which Jenkins called “special.”

“It’s pretty wild to think of,” Jenkins said. “When you go back and look at the magnitude of that play with everything on the line, and kind of the way Tressel Ball had been — 3 yards and a cloud of dust, take a deep shot, and it works out — I’m glad I caught it. You think of everything that’s happened since then in Ohio State history, and for that to be up there in a lot of Buckeye memories and minds, it’s very special.”

The play call for Holy Buckeye was King Right 64 Y-Shallow Swap. Jenkins said it was designed for tight end Ben Hartstock, who hauled in a 13-yard reception the play before. However, as we all know now, that’s not how it worked out.

“You’re really thinking that Ben Hartstock is going to get the little crossing route. We’d just get the first down and keep going down the field,” Jenkins said. “But the crazy part was the Swap for us. When you run the tight end on the Shallow, I always ran the Dig, and then (Chris) Gamble or the Z would run a Post.

“So, Swap, you know, we obviously swapped what we were doing. I’m supposed to run the post, and then Gamble’s supposed to run a Dig. But if you look at the film, like I just ended up running a Go and Gamble’s running a post. So we didn’t even run what we were supposed to run. And so that just lets you know, as my Dad always says, the stars were aligned that season.”

Yes, they were!
