Yeah, winning 900 games is an accomplishment and everything. That's not the story here. It's Rick Pitino vs Richard Pitino in the Big East. It's this, but real:

I do need Rick Pitino to live up to this promise though. If Xavier gets the win, he needs to fly back solo and make St. John's take a commercial flight the next day. You can't threaten them with a vacation to beautiful Cincinnati and then not go through with it. You're not one of the 4 best coaches this sport has ever seen and be a liar. Yeah, I said top-4 coach of all-time. Think in some order it's Pitino, Jim Calhoun, John Wooden and unfortunately K.
This is an important moment though. I know we've seen Pitino vs Pitino before, but that was New Mexico. This is Big East basketball. This is the last true major conference because they play a true round robin. This is about being a good dad. You know the moment I'm talking about - potentially from both sides here. The moment your kid beats you in something athletic? Time to retire. Fake an Achilles injury, say you can't play anymore and then never talk about it again. It's a rite of passage for any father/son relationship. Think about when you were growing up and your dad for sure just backed you down into the paint over and over again to win a 1v1 game like 21-12 on 21 layups. This is basically the coaching version of that.
Lean into the wrestling angle. Put some stakes on it, loser has to shave their head, something like that. All I know is St. John's players now know the deal. Win or you're left in Cincinnati.

The Jerome Schottenstein Center (Official Thread)

Articles from late last year:
At the time, Ohio State president Gordon Gee described the donation as “a tremendous gesture" by a family "whose generosity has been demonstrated for years." Of that $12.5 million gift, $11.3 million was from a family-owned foundation, $1.1 million came from Value City Furniture and the remaining $100,000 from Schottenstein Stores.

What will happen to the naming rights to Ohio State's Value City Arena?
Ohio State plans to “eventually phase out” the corporate name attached to its basketball and hockey arena after Columbus-based Value City Furniture yesterday filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to Adam Jardy of the COLUMBUS DISPATCH. Value City Arena has been the name of the venue located inside the Jerome Schottenstein Center since it opened in 1998. OSU will work with the Schottenstein family “to seek new potential naming rights or sponsorships for the facility.” There is no timetable for any decisions. The Schottenstein family gave OSU a $12.5M contribution during construction of the facility “to affix the name ‘Value City’ to the arena that was housed inside the building with their name on it”.At the time, Ohio State president Gordon Gee described the donation as “a tremendous gesture" by a family "whose generosity has been demonstrated for years."

New Hockey Arena Coming to OSU in January?
I'm watching Ohio State skating against Minnesota on the BTN and the announcers let a comment slip when talking about the job coach Steve Rohlik, who's in his 13th season with the Puckeyes has done. They said "there's big news coming in January about a new facility." I'm not an insider and all...

Ohio State was used as bait for FSU transfers to get more money from Mike Norvell
Fans got their hopes up for nothingThis is the ugly side of the transfer portal that can be downright infuriating. At the same time, it's also something that Ohio State fans can't be upset with Ross Bjork about. We're of course talking about twin brothers Darryll Desir and Mandrell Desir opting to re-sign with Florida State.
Earlier this week, rumors were flying that Ohio State was showing strong interest in the pair of talented defensive linemen. Was a visit to Columbus going to be in the works? Nope, as it was announced on Thursday night that the two had re-signed with the Seminoles and they're not going anywhere. Sorry, but it's clear Ohio State's name was used for a big score financially.
Ohio State fans were played thinking the Desir Twins were eyeing the Buckeyes
When the Desir twins first revealed they were going to be entering the portal, plenty of Florida State fans were ready to go into panic mode. They could not believe that head man Mike Norvell was about to lose the two rising stars on defense.Several teams were linked as possibilities, with Matt Zenitz and Chris Hummer of 247Sports quickly mentioning Ohio State as a team to watch. This got the hopes up for many all over Columbus, as both players would have been an incredible addition for Matt Patricia's defense.
Instead, Florida State was able to hang on and there's no question that a massive NIL deal played a large part in the brothers' decision to stay put in Tallahassee for at least one more season. This sucks for Ohio State, but it's the way the business works these days.

2027 TX DL Jalen Brewster (Texas Tech Verbal)

Ohio State football isn’t giving up on an elite five-star defender committed to another major college football program
Ohio State football is still after a five-star Texas Tech commit and Larry Johnson may have the inside leg.

Ohio State football isn’t giving up on an elite five-star defender committed to another major college football program
Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson is still working on a major five-star talent.Buckeyes still pushing for elite five-star Texas Tech commitment
Ohio State has nine commitments so far in the class of 2027: including the No. 1 player EDGE DJ Jacobs. Ohio State is still recruiting five-star DL Jalen Brewster, who committed to Texas Tech back in October.
Brewster is the No. 1 interior defensive lineman in 2027, and Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson may be just the guy who can help make the flip happen.
“Coach Johnson is a very good d-line coach,” Brewster said via Lettermen Row. “Has ( had several) starters make it to the NFL.”
Login to view embedded media
Brewster is a game-changer at 6-foot-2 and 302 pounds. The defensive lineman from Cedar Hill, Texas chose the Red Raiders over Ohio State, Texas A&M, and Indiana back in October. But the Buckeyes are still in communication with Brewster and keeping that contact will be key in any chance that he flips.
Ohio State lost Kayden McDonald to the NFL draft and they’ll try to replace him with a committee of Eddrick Houston, John Walker, James Smith, and Will Smith Jr.
Landing Brewster would give the Buckeyes another player who can be that future star in the middle of the defense just like McDonald was in 2025.
The Buckeyes have just one commitment along the defense line with Jacobs at EDGE. Pairing Brewster with Jacobs in the 2027 class would be a scary duo for the future. Ohio State still has at least a chance with a long way to go until signing day.
