WR Marvin Harrison, Jr. (Silver Football, 2x Unanimous All-American, 2023 Biletnikoff winner, Heisman Finalist, Arizona Cardinals)

I would not trade for a guy who has basically “given up.”

It’s not great, but if the Cardinals don’t value him and the price isn’t too high, I’d give him a shot. He showed work ethic through college at least and just might not be reacting well to a bad organization/situation. Get him on a team with a stronger culture and some leaders and maybe he can get his mojo back.

WNBA (Official Thread)

Have seen different scenarios, and Tuesday the announcers didn't make any sort of story about # of 20/game for Kelsey, so wife and I thought the streak had ended. Anyway, before our move, thought Kelsey had passed Aja for the record. Then see in print she's tied with Aja and two others for the # of 20 pt games in a row.....Soooo, anyone care to clear the fog from my eyes? And yeah, believe that the playoffs will be bunchs of fun. Minny seems to be loaded, very quietly obtaining the best W-L record. Saw Indiana pummel Lynx, but the Lynx starters were all on the pine, and Indiana kept their starters in. CC feasted, and Kelsey did Kelsey things all night. Appeared to us that Minnesota was resting their players, and Indiana was trying to secure a 4th place seed. Believe there's another Indiana game tonight?

Yeah, and Cotie is a star in the making in the WNBA (?). Never did get the story why Cotie skedaddled. Apparently she was the undisputed star, and subsequently went in the draft. Happened upon a game of hers, and she did Cotie-like things, and the talking heads were drooling over her moves. Not enough basketballs on tOSU court?

She transferred to Ole Miss her senior season. Something about a Medusa condition and McGuff kinda didn't believe her or she wasn't supported when she went to bet treatment? Something crappy like that

Danny from the Naval Academy is going to be an Admiral someday because that is a special kind of dumbass right there.

Wesley Tzeng used AI to throw together an incoherent string of concepts he thinks make him sound smart. No one will call him on it because they are afraid of being called racist.

I want to see pics of the USC chick but she's not too far off except in the naive belief that a "Federal" anything is a good idea.

Ryan Day​

On playing depth against Kent State​

  • “Yeah, that was the benefit of the second half, getting guys in the game and getting the graded.”
  • “Had a good spirited week of practice.”
  • “Looking forward to this one.”

On Ohio State’s youth​

  • When Jim Lachey told him Ohio State is the 11th-youngest team in college football, Day responded “I didn’t know that number right there” with a laugh.
  • “You got to get these guys going.”
  • “When you have young guys in there for the first time, they’re learning, and eventually as they play more, they begin to remember. That’s what it’s all about.”
  • “It’s gonna be a long season. We’re gonna need a lot of these guys to play.”
  • “We’re starting to identify the guys we can build all three phases around.”

On turning the focus to Big Ten play​

  • “This is gonna be a great nine-game run for us.”
  • “Glad that we had the Texas game in between (Ball State and Kent State). Obviously not excited about the result, but glad that we had to have a reference point of things we needed to get addressed going into this one.”
  • Day reiterated Ohio State will need everyone during Big Ten play and players need to make plays when their number is called upon.

On Chris Henry Jr. and Brock Boyd​

  • “We see them playing a lot of football. They’re gonna be major contributors, and we need them to not play like freshmen — to really step up, because they’re gonna have opportunity.”
  • Day said Henry has “the size that looks like Jeremiah” so his catch radius is “significant.”
  • Day said Boyd “came in with a pretty extensive football IQ” and has shown excellent short-area quickness.
  • “We’ve had guys that have played as freshmen, but not this early, so credit to those guys for the work they’ve put in, but now they got to go put it on the field, and now we need them to step up.”

On Devin Sanchez​

  • “You see the ability there.”
  • “But the question is gonna be, as time goes on, is he gonna be the guy we can count on throughout the whole season? I think we all believe he can be, it’s just a matter of him doing it.”
  • “We know what we see in practice. He’s doing a good job against the receivers we have, but now you got to go do it and put it on the field based on the packages we’re putting in there.”
  • “He has the right mindset. He has a huge ‘want to.’ He cares a lot about his teammates, cares a lot about Ohio State. Now that we’re getting into conference play, he really wants to stack some of these games and be that guy that we’re counting on.”

On Illinois wide receiver Collin Dixon​

  • “Good player.”
  • “Strong player.”
  • “Has now grown into a really good player in the conference.”
  • Day said Ohio State’s defense has to “know where he is” and doing everything it can to slow him down. “Good challenge for our secondary.”

On Illinois’ defense​

  • Day said Illinois will blitz frequently and have plenty of movement at all three levels.
  • “You have to be on the attack.”
  • “You got to go attack these guys.”
  • “We got to have everybody on the same page, especially up front.”
  • “We have to mix it up but also make sure we’re doing what we know best.”

On Julian Sayin​

  • “I thought the ball moved around better in the game this past week.”
  • Day said Ohio State improved in some areas against Kent State but there’s still other areas to get better.
  • Day said wide receivers not named Jeremiah Smith will have to step up against Illinois and fight for yards after the catch.

On Luke Fahey​

  • “He’s a smart guy. He’s a competitive guy. He’s an edgy guy.”
  • “He learns quickly. He eats up all the work. Loves to be out there.”
  • “Never feels like anything is too big for him. Just kind of walked in here and the first day he felt like he should be taking snaps with the first group. That’s just how he’s wired.”

On Justyn Martin​

  • Day said Martin has embraced his role as Ohio State’s scout team quarterback.
  • “When you’re there, you got to do whatever you can and then maybe catch somebody’s eye. Like, hey maybe there’s something we can do with this guy in a package down the road.”
  • “I would say because of the way he’s embraced that role, the conversation has come up. If he continues to go down that, he’s gonna almost force us to look into some of those things.”

On Ohio State’s running backs​

  • “We want to be extremely effective.”
  • “We want to come out of the gate and get downhill and knock people off the ball and get to the second level.”
  • Day said he wants Ohio State’s running backs to run angry against Illinois.

On Jake Cook as Ohio State’s sixth offensive lineman​

  • “Not everything was perfect.”
  • “Jake’s a good enough athlete that he can move around and do some things, too.”
  • Day said Cook won’t be running vertical routes, but he could run routes to the flat.
  • “There was some good play there. There were also some things he’ll learn from and grow.”

On Jamir Perez​

  • When asked if Perez could play fullback for the Buckeyes, Day said, “I never thought of that. The hole would get clogged up pretty fast with the big fella running through there.”
  • “He has the size to really make a difference inside.”
  • “I believe that everything we invest in him we’re gonna get back in the end. It’s his job to make sure he’s doing everything he can to build the trust of the staff so he can get reps with those guys up there.”
  • “I think we all see the talent. We think he has a bright future here.”

On James Laurinaitis being the Victory Bell Ringer​

  • Day joked that Laurinaitis will “have to hustle” to get to the sideline after ringing the Victory Bell.
  • Day said Laurinaitis is one of the program’s all-time greats.
  • Day said Laurinaitis loves pouring into his players. That’s what motivates Laurinaitis to coach. “He’s got a lot of pride in this school.”

On Connor Hawkins​

  • “He’s been very consistent in practice, and so we have all the faith in the world that he’s gonna continue to do his job at a high level.”
  • “He’s gonna have an opportunity at some point to make some big kicks here, and we know that he has the ability to do that.”
  • “He takes his job very serious.”
  • “No-nonsense kind of guy.”

On Ohio State’s special teams​

  • Day mentioned Ryan Rudzinski and Inky Jones as players who have stood out on special teams.
  • On Jones: “Inky’s killing it on special teams right now. I think he’s got a chance to be one of the better gunners or jammers there are in the country.”
  • Day also mentioned Jason Moore as another player who has “paid their dues” and is earning reps through hard work.

Jake Cook Brings Violent Mentality to Bison Package That Ohio State Will “Continue to Build On”​

By Lyle Alenstein on September 24, 2026 at 12:09 am

When Jake Cook trotted onto the field wearing No. 81 with no nameplate against Kent State as the sixth offensive lineman in Ohio State’s “Bison” package, Ian Moore got excited.
"I love it. I love seeing Jake Cook next to me," Ohio State’s starting left tackle said Wednesday after practice. "I mean, his mentality, I hate to swear, but it's just 'fuck it, I'm running.' And I love it. I love it."

Saturday was the first time Cook played a significant role with the first-team offense in his Ohio State career. He played only 17 snaps as a freshman last year, with 16 of those coming against Grambling State. But Cook has shown his coaches that he can be an asset in the Bison role, even though Ryan Day said there are still things the entire offensive line and tight ends need to clean up in that package.
"I thought there was some good things that he did. Not to get too technical about how that all played out, but they need to work together better in that situation. But that's why we tried to get into those situations to work through a game rep of it and figure out where we're at," Day said. "I think it's something that we're not going to major in, but I do think that there was enough on film to lead us to believe that we should continue to build on it and be an option for us personnel-wise."

Ohio State has struggled in short-yardage situations this year, so getting an extra offensive lineman in Cook on the field could be a way to combat that. Moore believes it’s a role that suits Cook’s game well because of the simplicity of what the Buckeyes are asking him to do in the Bison package.
"A lot of the plays he's in, they're pretty simple for him to understand. It's not like a bunch. He's not gonna start motioning into a slot set and going out for a route," Moore said. "He knows his job. He knows what he's doing. And it's,'fuck it, I'm gonna run.'"
Ohio State Has Been Unable to Consistently Move the Ball on Third- and Fourth-and-Short Situations This Season


Time will tell how much the role grows for the 6-foot-4, 310-pound sophomore, but if there's one person who's certainly excited about what Cook brings to the table, it's Moore.
"Jake just brings physicality, man," Moore said. "If he messes up, I know he's running hard, and I know he's gonna knock somebody out. It might not be the right person, but I know he's knocking somebody out. So I mean, just that juice, that energy, it's always amazing."......

OL Carson Hinzman (All B1G, All American, National Champion)

brodybuck21
WAY TO GO, CARSON. Carson Hinzman is getting some well-deserved recognition off the field.

The Ohio State center was named a semifinalist for the 2026 Campbell Trophy on Wednesday, an award often referred to as the “Academic Heisman” that recognizes college football players for their success in the classroom, on the field and as leaders.

Recent Buckeyes to be named semifinalists for the award include Lorenzo Styles Jr. (2025) and Seth McLaughlin (2024), with McLaughlin advancing to the finalist stage two years ago.

Login to view embedded media
Hinzman is one of a record 206 semifinalists for this year’s award. Collectively, the group boasts a 3.64 GPA, including seven players with perfect 4.0s, 98 bachelor’s degree holders, 24 All-Americans and 130 team captains.

Not bad company.

Some notable names have also won the Campbell Trophy over the years, including Peyton Manning and Tim Tebow. Former Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers took home the award last season.

The National Football Foundation will announce 12 to 16 finalists on Oct. 21. Each finalist will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship, while the Campbell Trophy winner will receive an additional $7,000 when the award is presented at the NFF Annual Awards Dinner in Las Vegas on Dec. 8.
