OG Austin Siereveld (National Champion)

Login to view embedded media
Speaking earlier in the spring, OSU head coach Ryan Day was asked if there could be a starting spot for Siereveld somewhere along the offensive line.

"I hope so, I hope that's his goal," Day said. "When you think about the guys who have come in that third year, a lot of those guys take the next step, and that's what we want with Austin. Usually, it's a good sign when you're an Iron Buckeye coming out of the winter.

"It's a great sign. We got done (with the playoff) on January 20th, and then you start up just a week later. But sometimes you can come in with a different demeanor, a different look in your eye, a different approach, and he's so far shown that look in his eye."

Tyler Bowen was hired from Virginia Tech to replace Justin Frye as the offensive line coach. He appreciates the fact that Siereveld can be a plug-and-play guy at nearly every O-line position.

"Austin's done a great job," Bowen said. "He's played both tackles this spring, both guards, played every position but center. It's a luxury if a guy can handle it, and he's certainly shown the ability to do that. I've been very impressed with him.

"Watching him on tape, he has very little missed assignments -- and that's in all four of those positions."

Nelson earned a third-place NCAA finish in floor on Saturday in addition to his vault gold.

Baltimore Orioles (3x World Series Champions)

We’ve got more brain dead needle dicks to throw at it than a bad manager can possibly overcome.

Reds get ass pounded so hard they break their nose on the headboard of the bed tomorrow.

Book it.
Nah - Reds win because Charlie Morton couldn't get High Schoolers out at this point and the bullpen is gassed now.

Ohio State Men's Lacrosse (2025 B1G Champs)

Just finished watching the game. That team showed a lot of character to come back the way they did. Glad for all of them. Nice to see the B1G LAX trophy come to Columbus. It’s been a hot minute since they have had this kind of success.

Just keep winning this point. B1G tourney and then the NCAAs.
