MLB/MiLB Buckeyes (Official Thread)

Four former Ohio State Buckeyes who should see time in the 2026 MLB season

Three former Buckeyes have made Opening Day rosters, while another starts the season on the IL.

Dominic Canzone - Seattle Mariners​

The most exciting player to come from Ohio State currently in the majors is Dominic Canzone of the Seattle Mariners. After playing a big part in helping Seattle make the playoffs for second time in the last four seasons, Canzone will likely play a bigger role for the Mariners this season.
The former Buckeye enters this season coming off an appearance for Italy in the World Baseball Classic, where he hit a home run against Brazil.

Dillon Dingler - Detroit Tigers​

Dillon Dingler started to make a name for himself in 2025. Following a 2024 campaign where he appeared in 27 games, Dingler became a starter behind the plate for Detroit. The Ohio State alum handled a pitching staff headlined by Tarik Skubal, who has now won the AL Cy Young Award in back-to-back seasons.

Ryan Feltner - Colorado Rockies​

While the Mariners and Tigers will likely be interesting watches after making the playoffs last season, the same can’t be said for the Colorado Rockies, who have lost at least 100 games in each of the last three seasons, and haven’t made the playoffs since 2018.

Zach Dezenzo - Houston Astros​

Technically Zach Dezenzo isn’t on a major league roster after he was placed on the IL on Wednesday. Had Dezenzo not suffered an elbow injury in the World Baseball Classic, he likely would have made the Opening Day roster of the Houston Astros.
Dezenzo suffered a right elbow sprain while playing for Team Italy in the WBC. In 19 at-bats in the WBC, Dezenzo hit .263.

Im sorry but this write up is lazy. How do you not mention Dingler won a freaking Gold Glove last year?

LSU Men's Basketball Official Thread (The Pear is back!)

Question: Inquiring minds want to know. If he was that good of head coach, just why did he leave LSU?

LSU (first stint)​

On March 21, 2017, Wade accepted an offer to become the head coach at Louisiana State University. On December 28, 2017, Wade earned his 100th career victory with a win over Memphis.

During the 2018–19 season, Wade's Tigers won their first five SEC games in a row. It was the first LSU team to do this since the 2005–06 team. They also claimed two victories over top 5 opponents (Kentucky and Tennessee), the first LSU team to do so since 1980. Wade coached the 2018–19 team to the Southeastern Conference regular season championship.

On March 7, 2019, it was reported that Wade discussed an offer to a recruit, which was overheard on a Federal Bureau of Investigation wiretap. Wade described the payment as a "strong-ass offer", and in the transcripts he is quoted as saying that he was frustrated with the situation: “I’ll be honest with you, I’m fucking tired of dealing with the thing. Like I’m just fucking sick of dealing with the shit. Like, this should not be that fucking complicated.” The following day, LSU announced that he was indefinitely suspended amid the FBI's probe. Tony Benford was named interim head coach at LSU during Wade's suspension. On April 14, 2019, LSU lifted Wade's suspension.

It was also reported on April 24, 2019, that Wade agreed to significant modifications to his contract, in order to be reinstated. Some of those changes include: 1) to forfeit $250,000.00 in bonuses he would have otherwise earned during the time of his suspension, 2) the contract also allowed LSU to fire Wade for cause if he committed a Level I or Level II NCAA violation, and 3) he could also be terminated if the NCAA infractions committee issued a formal notice to LSU that Wade was involved in a Level I or Level II violation.

On August 25, 2020, reports surfaced that the investigation into the numerous alleged recruiting violations by Wade was ongoing and headed to an independent panel. Two separate NCAA committees referred LSU's case to the IARP (Independent Accountability Resolution Process, a system formed in response to a Condoleezza Rice-led commission on college basketball). Had this panel issued a formal notice of allegations, it would have ended the tenure of Wade based on the renegotiated contract of 2019. He was terminated as coach on March 12, 2022, after the NCAA formally served a notice of allegations based on the investigations into reports of recruiting violations.

McNeese​

Wade was hired to coach at McNeese State University on March 12, 2023, replacing John Aiken.

On June 22, Wade was suspended for the first 10 games of the 2023–24 season and was given a two-year show-cause penalty for his recruiting and bribery violations at LSU.

On March 20, 2025, Wade led McNeese to its first ever NCAA tournament win, beating Clemson 69–67 in the Round of 64. The Cowboys went on to lose to 4-seed Purdue 62–76 in the Round of 32.

NC State​

On March 22, 2025, Wade signed a six-year contract to be the next head coach at NC State University, replacing Kevin Keatts.

LSU (second stint)​

On March 26, 2026, Wade agreed to return to LSU as their head coach, replacing Matt McMahon.

Answer: He got caught cheating.......:lol:
Yeah, nothing wrong with a strong-ass offer now, why not.

Ohio State Men's Ice Hockey (2019 B1G Champions)

Just looked at the men's bracket today. What a fucking screw job. They put all four B1G schools on the same side of the bracket. NCHC schools are spread out among all four regionals. It's time for either Sparty, Wiscy or the pedsters to step up and finally get the B1G a title. tcun can fuck off though.

Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

For the wrestling experts on the board - I assume this is good?

Even with as amazing a program as St. Ed's has been, I was surprised he's only the 5th 4-time state champ. And apparently he did it this year while wrestling with a broken kneecap? Holy cow, wrestlers are built different.
