Minnesota is playing a zone defense, OSU only has a couple reliable 3-point shooters and the offense is really built to try and attack inside. This is where Chatman not being reliable hurts - if he could actually be smart with the ball and play with high IQ, he would be a good zone buster.

I read a tweet that said, “Beltran is best known for cheating the Dodgers out of a World Series title. And for that, he should be a national hero!”

Sticking to driving I've got 3 gripes which I have witnessed recently. 1) Backing out of a parking space like a mad demon and not looking to see if someone is coming. I've had 2 incidents recently where a person backing out of their space too quickly almost collided with me. 2) People who park in spaces that are reserved for others. I'm seeing more and more people without handicap plates parking in handicap spots, parking in spaces reserved for employees of the month. 3) On the street where I live there's a street that runs north-south that has the right of way. The cross street have yield signs. Out on my morning walks I have seen numerous drivers disregard these yield signs and blow right through. There's an accident waiting to happen.

If we navigate that we'll win it all as battle tested in the playoffs. We coasted a lot this year and felt like it hurt at the end.

Seriously. I just found out the results on the Cleveland.com website and it was waaaaayyyyy down on the sports page. Glad to have another BigTen team win the NC, but time to talk about 2026!

I fell asleep in the first Q. 2am when I found out.

I believe it's under a touchdown per game as well before wholesale substitutions late. Patricia did a great job but this year will be a true test.

Well be lucky if we get 500 per game the way our weather changes hour to hour

I think we'll be better than that even. The new coach has started building something here.

Ex-NFL pro Matt Kalil sues ex-wife Haley for saying his penis size ended their marriage​

Kalil called Baylee’s comments that his large penis size ended their marriage “degrading and deeply personal.”

Matt Kalil is suing his ex-wife, Haley Baylee, for her viral comments on his penis size.

The influencer claimed that the former NFL pro’s large penis size was “the biggest factor” in their 2022 divorce during an appearance on Twitch in November 2025.

In Kalil’s lawsuit filed Tuesday and obtained by TMZ, he claimed Baylee’s “degrading and deeply personal comments” subjected him to “unwanted attention and invasive commentary from the public.”

He also claimed his family members have been negatively affected, as well as his wife, Keilani Asmus. According to the docs, Kalil claimed his new wife received “disturbing” and “alarming” messages as a result of Baylee’s comments.

Kalil, 36, is suing Baylee, 33, for invasion of privacy as well as unjust enrichment, TMZ reported, claiming she’s benefited financially and received a surge in traffic as a result of the comments.

The former professional athlete is suing for damages, with the amount exceeding over $75,000.

In a statement to Page Six, Baylee said Kalil’s lawsuit is a shock.

“The truth is in the original livestream — which is still live on Marlon’s YouTube account,” the statement reads. “I speak highly of him in multiple ways throughout that conversation.”

“I am genuinely shocked and incredibly hurt upon receiving the news of this filing,” she continued. “Litigation is a harrowing and emotionally draining experience, and I am heartbroken that he is choosing to subject us and our families to this ordeal.”

Baylee described Kail’s size as “like .01 percent of the population” during her shocking conversation with Twitch streamer Marlon Garcia.

“But I was going to try it all,” she said. “We tried it all: therapist, doctors. Not even lying … Looked up lipo-type s–t … That’s why it’s kinda funny. It’s like my life is a comedy, and it kinda writes itself.”

“We’ve tried, impossible unless you’re going to be in tears,” she continued.

The former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model first began dating Kalil after he was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2012. They married in 2015 in a lavish ceremony in Hawaii, but she filed for divorce from him, citing “irreconcilable differences” in May 2022.

Kayden McDonald season in review: From replacement to defensive anchor​

From filling a void to dominating the Big Ten, Kayden McDonald’s breakout season transformed Ohio State’s defensive front and turned him into a first-round NFL Draft lock.

Ohio State faced a massive challenge entering the 2025 season. Two of its most dominant interior defenders, Tyleik Williams and Ty Hamilton, had departed for the NFL, leaving a significant void at defensive tackle. Into that gap stepped Kayden McDonald, and what unfolded over the course of the season was one of the most impressive breakout campaigns by a Buckeyes interior lineman in recent memory.

McDonald’s counting stats tell only part of the story. He finished the year with 65 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, and 3 sacks as a true breakout star on the defensive front. But raw numbers barely capture how disruptive McDonald truly was.

More than just a run stopper, he became a constant force at the point of attack, routinely collapsing pockets, clogging running lanes, and turning offensive plans upside down with his presence, all from the interior. Opposing units quickly learned that double-teams often weren’t enough, as McDonald’s strength, leverage, and explosiveness gave him the rare ability to make plays despite attention from multiple blockers.

Filling big shoes, and then some​

Coming into the season, expectations for McDonald were high. But few projected him to ascend to the heights he ultimately reached. Tasked with replacing players like Williams and Hamilton, both high draft picks and impactful two-gap thumpers.

McDonald didn’t just fill a vacancy, he became one of the defining players on Ohio State’s defense. His blend of power, gap control, and surprising quickness allowed the Buckeyes to maintain one of the nation’s most feared run defenses.

That wasn’t an accident, it was a testament to his development, motor, and consistency over 14 games that often saw him leading the interior rotation in snaps.

McDonald’s impact didn’t go unnoticed. He was named the Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year, joining the likes of Caleb Downs and Arvell Reese in sweeping major defensive honors for Ohio State’s unit, a rare accomplishment for any team.
On many ballots, he also drew national consideration, earning acclaim as one of the country’s most disruptive interior defenders and landing on multiple All-American watch lists.

Beyond the box score​

What separates McDonald from many interior prospects isn’t just his strength, it’s his eye for the ball and his relentless activity in tight quarters. Whether it was stuffing a back at the line or shooting a gap to force negative yardage, McDonald consistently changed the outlook of drives before they could gain momentum.

His presence allowed Ohio State’s linebackers and edge rushers to play freer, knowing the middle was anchored by an interior beast capable of collapsing pockets and redirecting rushes.

In a season full of standout defensive performances, McDonald’s may be the most underrated, until now. As a junior, he stepped out of the shadows of those who came before him and became a true force in the trenches, anchoring a stout Buckeye defensive line.

Is there a changing of the guard among the blue bloods?​

There could be a massive change coming to the college football and basketball hierarchys.

Ohio State’s standing in the historical hierarchy of college football will never be questioned. The Buckeyes’ on-field success, combined with school traditions, has made Ohio State a giant in a sport that dates back to just after the Lincoln Administration.

But in the ever-changing landscape of college athletics, it’s worth wondering if there’s a changing of the guard amongst the blue bloods. Ohio State won a national championship in 2024, but it has struggled in some ways to adapt to the advent of the transfer portal and NIL. Other programs that have been blue bloods over the years, including Alabama, Oklahoma, USC, and Texas, have not been as dominant in recent seasons.
To be clear, Ohio State is still a great program. They’ve been one of the winningest programs in college football over the last five, 10, 15, and 20 years. They have three national championships this century.

But with some of the other programs no longer what they once were, it begs the question of whether new blood is being injected into both college football and college basketball. Look at the teams that played in the national championship this season. Miami and Indiana aren’t considered blue bloods of college football. Sure, Miami had really good teams in the ‘80s, ‘90s, and early 2000s. But they haven’t had the historical dominance a blue blood typically has.

Blue bloods have built their success on recruiting the best players, hiring the best head coaches, and having the most on-field success. But look at blue blood programs like Kentucky in college basketball. They’re struggling to recruit because they haven’t yet figured out how to navigate NIL most effectively. Other college basketball players, like Kansas, have struggled in recent seasons.

The transfer portal and NIL have brought parity to both college football and basketball. That’s great. But some blue-blood programs have struggled to catch on. They have been used to doing things a certain way for so long, and now they have to adapt quickly to a whole new era of college athletics.

Meanwhile, other schools, particularly at the Power Four level, that didn’t have much of a chance in previous seasons, now feel like they have an opportunity. The playing field has been leveled. It’s benefited schools like Indiana, Miami, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Auburn, Houston, and many others. Players don’t necessarily have to go to the historic blue bloods to get the best NIL deal and/or more playing time. These schools have athletic departments that are embracing a new era of college athletics.

but the NCAA passed on doing that. They had decades to adapt and failed.

This is what happens.

I'm enjoying watching it burn, myself.

Captain Buckeye said:

Couldn’t agree more. Time and time again they just kept coming up big.

We should’ve beat Indiana but that’s because we should’ve scored touchdowns not field goals, missed field goals, and failed 4th down attempts.

Not only that there is no Guarantee we win the 2nd one if we won the 1st cause unless us beating them collapsed their whole belief we would end up facing them again.

This has been updated after the final polls for the 2025 season.

OK, here's how this was calculated. I took each team's ranking in every year-end poll since the AP started in 1936. Once 2 polls were involved (the Coaches Poll started in 1950), I always used the higher ranking. Sliding scale points were awarded for every year that a team ended up ranked, and 10 points were deducted for each losing season. The scale was determined before seeing where teams ended up.

For each year since 1936, a team earns points based on these criteria:

NC (#1) in either poll = 100 points
02 -> 05 = 65, 55, 50, 45 points, respectively
06 -> 10 = 40, 37, 34, 32, 30 points
11 -> 20 = 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 points
21 -> 25 = 08, 06, 04, 03, 02 points
non-ranked, but .500 or above = 0 points
losing record for the year = minus 10 points

Here are the all-time totals, updated after the 2025 final polls:

01. 3137 - Alabama
02. 3036 - Ohio State
03. 2818 - Oklahoma
04. 2651 - Notre Dame
05. 2287 - Michigan
06. 2123 - USC
07. 1937 - Texas
08. 1705 - Penn State
09. 1639 - Georgia (jumped Nebraska)
10. 1630 - Nebraska
11. 1555 - Tennessee
12. 1439 - LSU
13. 1379 - Florida State (-10 for losing record in 2025)
14. 1272 - Miami
15. 1175 - Florida (-10 for losing record in 2025)
16. 1113 - Auburn (-10 for losing record in 2025)
17. 1013 - Clemson
18. 0847 - Michigan State (-10 for losing record in 2025)
19. 0842 - UCLA (-10 for losing record in 2025)
20. 0744 - Washington
21. 0690 - Arkansas (-10 for losing record in 2025)
22. 0612 - Ole Miss
23. 0579 - Texas A&M
24. 0525 - Georgia Tech
25. 0489 - Wisconsin (-10 for losing record in 2025)
26. 0443 - Oregon
27. 0409 - Pittsburgh

Other schools: Iowa (377), Minnesota (341), Boise St (312), Colorado (285), Army (267), BYU (263), Syracuse (257), Stanford (215), Va Tech (198), West Va (156), Oklahoma St (37), Purdue (05), and Illinois (-77).

Since 2007, I have created separate ratings by adding National Championship credit for those earned prior to 1936, on a sliding scale based on 12-year periods.

1869-1899 - 10 points for each MNC (no top teams here, almost all Ivy League)
1900-1911 - 25 points for each MNC
1912-1923 - 50 points for each MNC
1924-1935 - 75 points for each MNC

Here are the all-time totals, updated with the pre-1936 MNC points:

01. 3412 - Alabama (MNCs in '25, '26, '34, 2/3 for '30 = 275)
02. 3036 - Ohio State
03. 2876 - Notre Dame (MNCs in '24, '29, '30 = 225)
04. 2818 - Oklahoma
05. 2462 - Michigan (MNCs in '01, '02, '23, '33 = 175)
06. 2323 - USC (MNCs in '31, '32, 2/3 for '28 = 200)
07. 1937 - Texas
08. 1705 - Penn State
09. 1639 - Georgia
10. 1630 - Nebraska
11. 1555 - Tennessee
12. 1439 - LSU
13. 1379 - Florida State
14. 1272 - Miami
15. 1175 - Florida
16. 1113 - Auburn
17. 1013 - Clemson
18. 0847 - Michigan State
19. 0842 - UCLA
20. 0744 - Washington
21. 0690 - Arkansas
22. 0650 - Georgia Tech (MNCs in '17, '28 = 125)
23. 0629 - Texas A&M (MNC in '19 = 50)
24. 0612 - Ole Miss
25. 0534 - Pittsburgh (MNCs in '10, '16, '18 = 125)
26. 0491 - Minnesota (MNCs in '34, '35 = 150)
27. 0489 - Wisconsin
28. 0443 - Oregon
29. 0377 - Iowa
30. 0367 - Army (MNCs in '14, '16 = 100)
31. 0312 - Boise State
32. 0290 - Stanford (MNC in ‘26 = 75)
33. 0285 - Colorado
34. 0263 - BYU
35. 0257 - Syracuse
36. 0198 - Virginia Tech

Note - USC and Bama received 50 points, rather than 75, for disputed titles in '28 and '30, respectively

Note - Illinois, with MNCs in '14, '23, and '27 fails to make the top 35.

I know nothing about Northwestern’s team this year, so I wouldn’t read too much into this. Penn State rolled 51-0 with two falls, a forfeit, two majors, and five tech falls.

174: #1 Levi Haines PSU tech fall #32 Eddie Enright NU, 19-4 (TF; 6:48) 5-0

184: #4 Rocco Welsh PSU tech fall J.D. Perez NU, 22-7 (TF; 5:27) 10-0

125: #2 Luke Lilledahl PSU tech fall #26 Dedrick Navarro NU, 20-5 (TF; 7:00) 26-0

133: #4 Marcus Blaze PSU maj. dec. #24 Sean Spidle NU, 15-4 30-0

141: #7 Braeden Davis PSU maj. dec. #32 Billy Dekraker NU, 9-0 34-0

149: #1 Shayne Van Ness PSU tech fall August Hibler, 18-3 (TF; 7:00) 39-0

157: #3 PJ Duke PSU pinned Gunnr Myers NU, WBF (2:42) 45-0

165: #1 Mitchell Mesenbrink PSU win by forfeit 51-0

There aren’t many surprises here. I’m not sure which ranking system they are using either.

Here are the results of the match with Iowa from Friday too. Penn State gave up two takedowns total.

125: #2 Luke Lilledahl PSU dec. #6 Dean Peterson IA, 11-5 3-0
