2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

Heard on the Zach Smith podcast that we threw less deep balls as an offense than Michigan threw last year. This despite Julian being the best deep ball thrower in the country.

With as good of a running game as we have with a good offensive line. We should be absolutely diabolical on play action.

I have a feeling Chris Henry and JJ will eat teams up down the field. Then Boyd, Parker, Mcquin, and Innis will eat teams up underneath.

I can’t believe we are right around the corner.
I totally believe it. I don't listen to him but there were extenuating circumstances behind that statistic.

1. Pace of play - clearly the plan the whole year was to limit the exposure for Sayin, which resulted in a slower pace of play for Ohio State. Expect that to change.

2. Efficiency - they were hyper efficient on offense until the Indiana game. That matters in the equation - more effective plays and results typically equals fewer plays overall.

Buckeyes make cut for 5-star forward

Moving to the hardwood, Ohio State basketball received some positive news Wednesday when five-star forward Malachi Jordan shared the latest update in his recruitment.

The 6-foot-7, 225-pound prospect from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, who plays for Prolific Prep, is ranked as the No. 13 player nationally and No. 3 small forward in the 2027 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. With more than 20 offers to his name, Jordan has now narrowed his recruitment to eight schools, and Ohio State remains firmly in the mix.

The Buckeyes are joined by Alabama, Kansas, UConn, Tennessee, USC, Vanderbilt, and Washington among Jordan’s finalists. There is still plenty of work left to be done against a loaded group of contenders, but making the initial cut is an encouraging sign for Jake Diebler and his staff.
Jordan appears ready to begin moving closer toward a decision, and Ohio State has to feel good about where it currently stands as his recruitment enters its next stage.

Tour de France 2026

All-time, historic ride by Pogacar today.

One of the best rides in history.

I thought his performance in Stage 6 was even more impressive, he attacked on the Col de Tourmalet and rode away from Vingegaard by more than 2 and a half minutes. He pretty much clinched the tour before the end of Week 1.

I‘m looking forward to him continuing to break records: most stage wins, most yellow jerseys, and even the wiped-out 7 Tours won by Lance.

2027 GA DL David "DJ" Jacobs is a Buckeye!!!

Used to use, when explaining to Board members, 'what is the legal speed on the 5?' Of course, people had various answers, but I replied, 'maybe, but it's what the CHP enforces'.....guess same applies here. Am still waiting for the NC basketball team to be hit with sanctions for grad students doing papers for the basketball team.....am turning blue from holding my breath....

What kind of car do you drive?

Wife and I are buying a new car and I experienced something totally unfamiliar. I placed a $1,000.00 down to hold a vehicle that isn't even built yet.
We're getting a Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid and they essentially don't exist on any dealership in Metro 513.

Things I've learned as I've begun researching the delays and what might be the issue:

1). In a quiet move, Toyota has shifted production; making fewer of the "middle of the road" trim, the XLE. Everything is base or PLATINUM version. Or at least those percentages are greater than XLE's

2). Demand and resale for Hybrids is through the roof

3). Toyota doesn't take custom orders. Dealers "get what they get" and it has no bearing on how quickly they sell them. Toyota has some grand algorithm they drop into different regions in order to balance out the number of vehicles are in a certain region to stabilize parts and service costs.
There was one Grand Highlander on the lot when I went to test drive and they have 11 vehicles in "sale pending" pre-sales status (12 now, including mine)

Overall, it's not the worst thing in the world. Gives me time to shop around with financing. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this with Toyota or any other manufacturer.
