$92,000 (per team) payout for making it to the R16....not bad. Top seeded team went down already so we will see if the hot hand can keep going!

Champion	$900,000
Finalist	$485,000
Semi-finalist	$275,000
Quarter-finalist	$158,000
R16	$92,000

FWIW, In the 3rd round, #14 R. Cash & J. Tracy play #3 M. Granollers (Spain) and N. Zeballos (Argentina) Day 8 ? at 7 PM EST. I think that will be tomorrow....

At least this guy is wasting away on their bench.

(I’ll ignore that at least he’s on winning team. Screw him.)

Him?

BORING!

Bucks were up 2-0 early, then it was tied late. Good guys got a goal with just under 2 minutes left, then a little later got an empty-netter from about 200 feet away.

Always a good day to beat ND

All I want for (insert next holiday) is a true Head Coach for the Offense!

We are not the type of program in this new era where we hire newbies to cut their teeth in OC and DC coordinator positions. I don't care if they were an OC at another college program or the pros, but I want them to be experienced in that position before they come here.

Whining over. Bring me the new season!!!

I loved it when the announcer supposedly quoted Jesse during one of the later matches. "I shoot I score. You shoot I score."

This came up on an alum site on Facebook from tOSU: We're excited to announce that the Archives just received a wonderful gift from Ken Hargreaves—a football uniform that belonged to his father, William Hargreaves of Akron, who played for OSU from 1935 to 1937! Thank you, Ken, for helping us preserve this amazing piece of history.

Honestly that's the story of the game. Brutal performance

It's very frustrating watching Michigan hit a home run and thrive with May while we continue to sputter in the same cycle of mediocrity we have been in for what feels like forever now.

I agree but they also got extremely lucky. Getting Yaxel to spurn the NBA and Morez Johnson to transfer after a successful frosh year at Illinois (out of nowhere) completely changed their team.

Brainstorming companies for Ohio State football’s commercial uniform patch​

Fun ideas for who could appear on a patch on Ohio State’s uniforms in the fall.

Currently the Columbus Blue Jackets have a Safelite AutoGlass patch, the Cleveland Cavaliers are sponsored by Cleveland-Cliffs, and the Cincinnati Reds had a patch from Kroger on their uniforms last year.

So who could we see as the Ohio State jersey sponsor this coming year? The battle to earn the coveted spot on the iconic Buckeye uniforms is something athletic director Ross Bjork has been waiting to sell off ever since he was picked to replace Gene Smith.

Now that the NCAA has approved the sale of a jersey patch, Bjork probably has meetings already lined up with all kinds of companies from Columbus and around Ohio.

Since it’s frigid in Ohio right now and there is a snowstorm barreling towards the state, I figured today we could have a few laughs since it’s something we all need because everyone is on edge making sure they are prepared for the 1 to 47 inches of snow that are being predicted to fall around the state.

Today we are going to look at some of the best and worst Ohio State commercial jersey patches. Some are obvious fits, while others are a bit outside of the box, and then there are some that are so awful it’d be funny.

Kurgis & Associates​

The most intimidating commercial jersey patch would definitely be the Kurgis & Associates patch. Just stick Kevin Kurgis’ scowling face on a patch on Ohio State’s jersey and I’m not sure the Buckeyes would ever lose a game again.
Whenever I see a Kurgis & Associates commercial, I’m usually cowering in the corner but the end of it since I feel like Kevin Kurgis is yelling directly at me. The Buckeye defense would never give up more than 10 points in a game again!

Buckeye Donuts​

This is what the people really want! Buckeye Donuts is a campus institution and it would be a match made in heaven if the rest of the world could learn about the greatness of Buckeye Donuts.
This will never happen since it’s way too much fun to think about and Ohio State doesn’t deal in fun.

Just heard McGuff interview on the radio this morning. He said Kylie Kitts was day to day, not sure if she'll play against Iowa. He didn't sound optimistic.

Again , I think thats a sexual thing, at least it's always worked for me.

Wonder how long until players start suing to be able to get into the transfer portal again after spring. Guessing a couple of months from now.

The NCAA continues to be a massive disappointment

Former Ohio State Wide Receivers Coach Brian Hartline Hires Former Buckeye Wide Receiver K.J. Hill, Offensive Lineman Toby Wilson at South Florida​

Brian Hartline is infusing some more Buckeye flavor to his first coaching staff at South Florida.

The former Ohio State wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator, now head coach of the Bulls, has hired former Buckeye wide receiver K.J. Hill as an offensive analyst and offensive lineman Toby Wilson as an assistant offensive line coach.

Wilson is the son of former Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson and played for the Buckeyes for four seasons after walking on to the team in 2021. He served a depth role during his entire career, playing 12 snaps as a senior in 2024. He'll work as an offensive line assistant under USF offensive line coach Mike Sollenne, who worked as an assistant offensive line coach at OSU from 2022 through 2024.

Think of it this way. Right now the top 4 get a useless bye, then we get 2-3 P4 first round games and 1-2 games against G6 teams. If we go to 16 and 1-2 are G6 then instead of a bye the top seeds get a warm up game and we get 6-7 P4 first round games. I’ll take it.

And I always though that a coach liked a bye before playing a very good team since it gave his team the advantage of having 2 weeks to prepare.

Re: Plenty of P5 schools interested but no offer.

Makes you wonder if there is some "issue" with him....

Re: Coaches this is a steal!

Regardless, Ohio State just stole him.....

Whew! Great job RB, and glad you're feeling better....

I certainly get that Gee was effusive about the Schottenstein's contribution to the bball edifice, was very deserved. Also am skeptical about Bjork NOT capitalizing on naming rights, and tossing away potential millions to add to the Athletic Department's coffers. Back then, nobody could have foreseen that the venerable Schottenstein's would have taken one of their flagship companies into bankruptcy/insolvency, etc. Someone, somewhere must have built a clause or three into the contract (there's a contract for everything, folks) forseeing the 'what if' stuff that could happen. And finally, wait until we get a scoreboard that does more than share who's on the floor, making points/fouls, etc. Maybe it'll sell popcorn as well. PS, always hear about the 'new' scoreboard etc, but I'd like to hear what enhancements are being added/included. Feels like technology gone nuts....

Lol as Gomer used to say, "surprise surprise, surprise!"

Browns are giving their coaching candidates homework and having them write essays according to Pelissero. Nice. We definitely need to be ruling out as many good coaching candidates as possible so we are left with guys desperate enough to write a fucking essay to the Browns begging for a chance. Fuck are we doing. Stefanski had his issues, but the team will have a worse coach next year. Maybe the coach will grow into a guy who can win COTY 2x. Nah they'll can him after two years and hire some other dipshit who wants to ruin his career.
