2026 Winter Olympics (Milan - Cortina, Feb 6-20)

Looking forward to watching the downhill skiing. I am sure I would never have even considered skiing the "Ribbon of Death" back when I was an average skier.

Would you do it with a ruptured ACL?

What song are you listening to right now

Had a surprise party at country club when my wife turned 60. She was very much surprised, entering and finding 64 friends/family there. Anyway, had the band start with the Temp's "My girl", and second one was your 'Ain't no woman..." above. I actually danced with her, alone on the dance floor to those two.....she did ask me later, 'could we have taken a nice vacation on what you spent?' and answered, yeah....

Latest Celebrity 'Obit' posts

Golfing buddy played in Tiger's farm system, went to spring training every year with the big team, but ultimately ended up in AA or AAA. Anyway, he was around when Mark (the Bird) Fidrych was around, and used to tell tales of how crazy he really was. PS, Bob Gibson used to scare me, just watching him pitch. Wouldn't have wanted to bat against the guy. And hats off to all the pitchers that pitched (and won) three games in the world series. Gibson was one, and believe McLain was another.

2027 OH LB Brayton Feister (Verbal Offer)

I would strongly disagree. I’ll provide a small list of successful 19 year old graduates who were 19 their freshman year of college for us at Ohio state.

Cardale Jones – National Championship QB
Ted Ginn Jr. – 1st-round NFL Draft pick
Vernon Gholston – Dominant DE; Top-10 NFL Draft pick
Michael Thomas – All-time Buckeye WR great; NFL All-Pro
Chris “Beanie” Wells – Immediate impact RB; 1st-round NFL Draft pick
Braxton Miller – 2× Big Ten POTY
Dwayne Haskins Jr. – Heisman finalist, OSU records
Jack Sawyer – cornerstone edge defender and national champion; draft pick
Garrett Wilson –NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year
J.T. Tuimoloau – impact DL from day one

Could provide probably dozens more with ample research. From the results of our successful history at OSU, taking as you phrased them “ hold backs” has worked out well.
Your literally giving examples of world class athletes....I am talking about the normal Joe's of the world brother. Your examples would have been D1 and at Ohio State a year prior to their graduation.

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

The Buckeyes are projected to finish with 19 wins, which would mean going 4-5 over the last 9 games. IOW, bubblicious.

Right now they have a stretch with no true road games until 2/22. They probably need to win at least two of these games - UM, USC, UVA neutral and Wisconsin. The road trip combo of MSU and Iowa towards the end of the month looks brutal for these guys. Then a mixture of Purdue & 2 winnable games at the end. Overall, these guys still have a legit shot at the tournament, they just have to hold the line the rest of the way. I think the most likely pathway is win vs USC, UVA, @P S U, vs IU and either Wisconsin or Purdue. Tough but plausible.

4-5 is probably enough to get in as long as one of the losses isn't to Ped State.

Chatman starting to actually play and play decent gives me more optimism going forward.

OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

Well, Bestbuck we actually do! But he's taking up space on the pine. Look at his bulk, and wishing he'd be in the paint taking up space, and enforcing his will on those unfortunate enough to drive on him......keep hearing he's probably going to miss this year. We're losing both Tilly and Noel at the end of the year, so he's gotta get better. He'd be a difference maker, if he returned before selection committee sits down....methinks.

Ohio State Women's Basketball (2023-24 B1G CHAMPS)

Those Washington women certainly looked 'blocky'. At least several inches wider than our Buckeyes. Am enjoying watching Kennedy work her magic on D, and the tandem of her and Jaloni is nothing short of fun to watch. Also fun to watch which 3-shooter gets hot for the Buckeyes, and hope they continue to get uncontested looks at the basket. Saw Kitt on the bench in warm-ups, but was participating in huddles, etc. Anyone know why/how she's injured? ETA to return?

Ohio State @ Maryland, Thursday Feb. 5, 830pm EST, FS1

Great night, watching both the Men and Women get some nice wins. Yeah, Md was itching to fight. Tilly was trying to prove his worth after the Wiscy thumping, and believe that Chapman had his best game yet. He's picked up the pace with his D, by not playing matador defense. Women, well, they played like they normally do. Do hope that Kitt gets better faster, as Elsa looks like a lone tree on the plains under the hoop. Was surprised how well she runs the court (doesn't lope up court as I used to do), sprinting for the pass. PS, not usual that the C gets upcourt before the defenders, IMHO.

How about them Miami (O) basketball team?

Couple years back, ran into a guy who sported his Miami shirt. Had to talk to him, as I matriculated there oh so many years ago. Got to talking and he mentioned (proudly might say) that Miami U is the best hockey team in the state. Recruits go to Oxford-town rather than C'bus for the sport. Was an eye-opener for me. Saw games at Withrow Court, and then a couple at Millett (waaaay across town). Back then had 50 cent taxis, which took when my (illegal) car was in the shop.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

College football is “mirroring” college wrestling in many regards. NCAA increased scholarship count to (30) for P4 conferences….up from (10ish) they used to have.

On the surface, it appeared that would help more kids get scholarship opportunity. The opposite has happened though….where schools used to carry up to 50 wrestlers that could get partial scholarships, now it’s reduced to exactly 30. When that is multiplied across all programs, you see a huge net decrease in wrestlers on teams.

Division I football teams can now disperse up to 105 scholarships (in an increase from the 85 limit).

Very few teams will carry more than 75-80 scholarship players anymore because of NIL. We are going to see fewer DI players with a 105 limit, than when the limit was 85, because of NIL.

Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 19 Straight B1G Titles)

Thanks Gracel....had to chuckle when you mentioned 'NCAA Sportsmanship Codes'.....Those wingnuts cannot keep their own rules straight, let alone establish niceties such as sportsmanship....personal opinion of course. From the length of your response, and the detail, might give me the opinion that I'm not the first to come up with that approach. But, as long as there are rules, there are those that can figure out a way to get past them....or you could just recruit good tennis players, hone them against each other, and take on all comers. As long as they're from New Albany. Go Bucks!
