Well, Trump was the inaugural recipient of the FIFA Peace Prize. It makes sense that they’d listen to his concerns.

Anyone else teach their AI machine to swear as a general way of communicating? Just me?

I had it analyze a business listing I saw:



It's the first time it's said "fuck" in a conversation with me. I'm like a proud parent.

Was idly musing about the above, and suggest that tOSU signs LeBron as a TE, or play him (wherever he wants to play) on the basketball court, as he was a HS entry, and therefore has four years of eligibility left....he certainly doesn't need any NIL bucks....

Kelsey's game reminds me favorably of Havlicek's career with the Celtics. Not a scorer at tOSU, but with the Celtics, his constant movement got him open, and believed he was (at one-time) in the top 10 of overall NBA scorers. Kelsey's constant movement gets her open, and amazingly, for layups. Never seems to take any time off, but outworks her opponent (seems to be mostly larger, long armed defenders), and gets her threes on a constant basis. Probably people with better memories than I have, but don't recollect that she ran as much on the Buckeye court. Do remember her bringing the ball down, and popping threes from all over the place. CC gets the pub, but Kelsey holds that team together. Also, never seems to be injured, and has logged more minutes than anyone else.

Admitting I have no earthly insight to the immediate impact question, gotta chuckle somewhat. tOSU has a very stacked roster, with nary a weakness anywhere. So would expect the coaches make a conscious decision to play one or more of these 5* studs, over a more developed back-up. To get them experience under fire, certainly. To see if what they exhibit in practice translates to the field, also certainly. And the more they produce, the more minutes they get. How many 4-5* WRs have fled to greener pastures because they believe they deserve more minutes?

I think he comes from old oil money. I doubt it's the case in Texas (they'remore obsessed with showing off than Bulgarian mobsters), but it is (or at least was) a very northeastern waspy thing to drive a 10 year old Buick when you have family money that dates back to the slave and molasses trade.

If one looks at the current tOSU ranking, one sees that there are 3 5*, and 2 3*. Ergo, the 'overall ranking' puts the Buckeyes at a 4.1* average. Guess that number will go up or down depending how the talking heads rerank as the HS year unfolds. Above absolutely correct. SEC schools that sign 28-30 HSers, (limit per year was 25), would win the mythical recruiting title. Now, with the limits off, some schools are doing that, but appears (most I believe) are not signing so many, but cherry picking from the portal. Time will tell how well this strategy works. Don't much care, except for how the Buckeyes fare. Go Bucks

i'd be a lot more concerned about this year had I not seen what he did last year. These guys have had a full year with him and, while we may see some early mistakes, I think this is going to be a ferocious defense. We'll need it with this year's schedule. Hoping that we see a lot of rotation early.

ALWAYS BE ON TIME. My high school basketball coach had a saying: “If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late. And if you’re late, that’s unacceptable.”

The punishment for being late was simple but unforgettable. The entire team would run sprints. Then, while everyone else tossed basketballs across the gym, the offender had to chase every ball down, collect them all and return them to the rack.

Mick Marotti has some harsher penalties for Ohio State’s players, according to punter Joe McGuire:

The Buckeyes would be smart to arrive 15 minutes early to every workout or practice — just to be safe. Nobody wants to be late, and even fewer want to end up on Mick Marotti’s bad side. I know I wouldn’t.

Brian Hartline drops bold statement on how South Florida will operate like the Ohio State Buckeyes​

Former Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline isn’t shying away from how he’s trying to run the football program at South Florida.

Hartline himself on the other hand, is working on leveling up a South Florida program that has seen some G5 success lately. The former Buckeye isn’t shying away from what he’s trying to do there.

Brian Hartline is very open about his plans at South Florida​

“The best form of flattery is to replicate,” Hartline said via On3. “I’m not shy about it — I played at Ohio State for four years and coached there for the last decade. We’re going to do a lot of similar things with our own touch. We’re not going to fake it or pretend to be somebody we’re not, but the expectations and the operation will resemble Ohio State.”

Hartline played at Ohio State from 2005 to 2008 and developed into a fourth-round NFL draft pick. After seven seasons in the NFL, Hartline took a couple of years off before joining the coaching staff at Ohio State in 2017. From 2018-2025, Hartline served as the wide receivers coach in Columbus where the Buckeyes have had first-round picks like Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Emeka Egbuka, and Marvin Harrison Jr.

Though South Florida isn’t going to have the NIL backing or the expectations that the Buckeyes do, Hartline hopes to carry some of the same ways the program is run over. Building a good culture is the key to any successful football program, and it’ll be a necessity for Hartline at South Florida.

Hartline isn’t taking over a slouch of a program, either, as Alex Golesh led the Bulls to nine wins last season. South Florida won a combined 23 games in the last three seasons after having just four wins total the previous three years. Hartline has his work cut out for him, but carrying some Ohio State ways with him will certainly help.

I like that Brock seems to be a good sport with all the jokes. Because fr fr, I think he’s going to be really good in this offense. He reminds me so much of Olave. If he can get developed and earn PT, he can become a monster

Olave is the exact comparison I had. Droves of production and silky smooth in and out of his cuts. Plenty fast enough to go with the finer detail he appreciates at the position. Playing at such a high level of competition and having a great program to be coached at had to help him coming in as well.

Five-Star Center Sydney Mobley Commits to Ohio State Women’s Basketball​

Ohio State women’s basketball has added a five-star center to its 2026-27 roster.

Sydney Mobley, who was ranked as the No. 3 center and No. 18 overall prospect in the 2027 class, announced her commitment to Ohio State on Friday. Mobley also announced she will reclassify into the 2026 class and join the Buckeyes’ roster for the 2026-27 season.

Mobley joins the Buckeyes from nearby Big Walnut High School in Sunbury, Ohio. She’s a cousin of Ohio State men’s basketball star John Mobley Jr.

Mobley chose Ohio State after also making official visits to Illinois and Virginia. Other major programs that offered Mobley included Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Virginia Tech.

A 6-foot-2 post player, Mobley could play either center or power forward for Ohio State. She joins a frontcourt led by returning starters Elsa Lemmila and Kylee Kitts.

This is the entire 2013 football season. Another user posted a near-complete 2013 season torrent, but it was missing the Orange Bowl vs Clemson. A user recently shared the Orange Bowl game with me. This torrent is in the same file structure as the other torrent - just with the Orange Bowl game added. I intend to seed this indefinitely. If you find a problem or have a better version of one of the games, let me know and I'll improve the torrent.

Georgia Bulldogs miss out on a four-star player who plays one of the biggest needs Kirby Smart currently has​

The Bulldogs are missing a few key positions in their 2027 recruiting class, and an interior offensive lineman is one. Now they’ve missed out on another in Nate Carson.

Login to view embedded media

Carson’s visit history told the story​

When you look at the visit breakdown, Georgia never really stood a chance. Carson took eight visits to South Carolina and six to Clemson. By comparison, he visited Alabama three times, Georgia three times, Ohio State once, and Georgia Tech once. The top two schools in his home state had twice as many visits as every other program on his list.

It feels like Carson always wanted to stay in-state, and that’s completely fine. Sometimes a recruit’s heart is set on home, and no amount of recruiting pressure from Athens changes that. Kirby Smart and his staff pursued Carson for some time, but the visit log made that clear long before signing day.

Ohio State football program makes an unexpected addition to the staff​

The Buckeyes have made a surprising hire right before the start of the season.

Usually, when late June and early July roll around, the additions to the coaching staff are finished. However, the Ohio State Buckeyes have decided to bring someone else onto the staff just a few weeks before practice begins, which is highly unusual.

Ohio State football team hires Andy Howell as a college scout​

Howell becomes the 12th full-time hire for the Buckeyes on staff. With the portal becoming an ever more important part of Ohio State's roster construction, they need someone who can help identify players. That's why they are bringing Howell into the fold.

Day has evolved over the years in terms of his coaching style. He has made sure that he has kept up with the times in the NIL era, and that includes the Transfer Portal. Using every possible resource to improve the roster construction of the team is his job, and Day is doing it well.

Andy Howell will help the Ohio State football program next offseason​

Most of Howell's value will come next offseason when the portal opens. The Buckeyes will use him to figure out which players they should go after in the portal. That is when he will show his value to the roster. It's well worth it for him to be on the coaching staff so he can help Day out.

It's a little strange that the Buckeyes have brought him in so late in the offseason. Howell hasn't been doing much for his NFL team in the last few months during the offseason. Now, Howell will be in charge of watching a lot of players across the country.

Day still wants his roster primarily built through the high school recruiting ranks, which has been evident with how the coaching staff has been recruiting in the last month or so. Ohio State is going to have one of the best recruiting classes in the country by the time the 2027 cycle ends.

Ohio State isn't going to change its entire philosophy overnight. Yet, the portal is clearly going to become a bigger part of Ohio State's roster construction.

Longtime NBA Assistant Coach Mike Wells Fulfilling Lifelong Dream By Coaching at Ohio State​

“I think everybody that's grown up in the state of Ohio ... I think everybody grows up wanting to be a part of this university at some point.”– Mike Wells on his dream of coaching at Ohio State

In a coaching career that’s spanned more than 30 years, Mike Wells has coached for six different NBA teams, winning two championships at basketball’s highest level. He became a head coach in Australia’s National Basketball League. But there was one place much closer to home where Wells always dreamed of coaching.

Growing up about an hour northeast of Columbus in Mount Vernon, Ohio, Wells is a lifelong Ohio State fan – so much so that he woke up at 3:30 a.m. to watch the Ohio State/Michigan football game while living in Australia for the past two years. So when Jake Diebler called Wells and offered him the chance to join Ohio State’s staff as an assistant coach, it wasn’t a hard decision for Wells to say yes.

“The Ohio State University,” Wells said, emphasizing the word “The,” when asked why he chose to join the staff. “I think everybody that's grown up in the state of Ohio, like, if you're not thinking about having Ohio State at some point, I don't know. I think everybody grows up wanting to be a part of this university at some point.”

“My journey was probably really different than a lot of people, and Adelaide, Australia ended up leading me here and the opportunity. However it gets here, I've always wanted to be a part of college basketball, high-major program. This opportunity presented itself, I couldn't pass it up.”

Wells said he had an “unbelievable experience” coaching the Adelaide 36ers, who made the NBL Championship Series last season in his second year as head coach, but his family wanted to return to the United States. His eldest son, Trenton, is an incoming freshman at Mount Vernon Nazarene University, and his parents still live in Mount Vernon, so there was no better place for their return to America than Ohio.

“I had a really, really good team over there. Everybody was signed, super proud of what we accomplished there. And we came home as a family, and we were trying to figure out what's next in our lives,” Wells said. “If an opportunity like this came along, we were going to jump at it to stay in the United States, number one. The fact that it's here was a no-brainer for myself and my family.”
