Fox needs to get him a puppy.

So a Columbus summer league type of set-up with a $1 million initiative that goes to charity. Why not do a non-NCAA type tourney in the summer for players that most likely won't make it to the league? Another bracket (grift) system for players...

Any venture capitalist out there? Enjoin in the June/July Jubilee™

Heck, our backup DL coach is now the new DL coach at Texas. And, they added 5 (five) DTs from the portal. Probably just so tOSU couldn't have them.

Mike Vrabel makes strong admission on how much he’ll be rooting for Bill Belichick at North Carolina and it shows his Ohio State roots​

“It feels like he wanted to go down to North Carolina and try to recreate that,” Vrabel said of Belichick’s move to college during an appearance on The Triple Option podcast. “I wish him a lot of luck in the world, unless they’re playing Ohio State.”

Vrabel’s sentiment comes as no surprise. He played at Ohio State from 1993 to 1996 and began his coaching career as an assistant there. While it’s unlikely the Buckeyes and Tar Heels will face each other outside of the College Football Playoff, Vrabel made it clear he’ll never root against his alma mater.

As for a return to the college coaching ranks, Vrabel doesn’t see that in his future.

“Three years in college was enough for me,” Vrabel said. “And I took off for the NFL. I’m sure Urban [Meyer] told you—he didn’t want to hire me. He’ll tell you that, or maybe it was just his way of motivating me. Either way, he did a good job, and I learned a lot there. But I just felt like the pro game was where I wanted to be.”

Just win the fucking Game coach. Be a legend.

Need a swim buddy?

The sad thing is that one day they will pass on to the next world and have to spend eternity trying to explain themselves to Woody.

Have done the drive you mention (though not from V-ville), several times with my lovely wife. Actually drove to Cambria for a combo wife b-day and Mom's day (got a twofer on that one), and did the up and back down Highway 1. Morro is beautiful, have camped there several times, and has some very good restaurants, and yeah, to an Ohioan, looks wonderful (and it is). Ps, in the winter, the hills are a verdant green. In the summer (with less water), they are called 'the golden hills of California'. That's while Ohio hills are lush and green. PS, you covered a heckuva lot of territory from VVille to Monterey and back in a weekend. Daughter did some swimming and water polo in Pismo, so have spent many a weekend there. Plenty to do, and usually run into a half dozen or so people from our town there. Too busy for me. PS, when we drive to Colorado, always go through the Tehachapi's out to Hwy 15 through Vegas to I-70 into Grand Junction. From where we are, the mountain passes through the Sierra Nevadas are still covered in snow through June-ish, so gotta go south, or north on the I-80. Sounds like some great memories!

I really wish his name was "Fakayoum"

Me or Tyson? (Never a question I thought I'd find myself asking, but either feels realistic in this case).

That was one of the funnier things I ever heard him say.

He was trying to say "fade into oblivion" but Mike being the man of letters that he is, he turned it into a geography mind fuck.

Does this man’s death notice really deserve to be in 3 BP threads? Asking for a friend….

FILM STUDY. It’s no secret the Minnesota Vikings love Donovan Jackson.

In a recent video for the Minnesota Vikings YouTube channel, O’Connell broke down some of Jackson’s tape from his final season at Ohio State. (What I shared below is a video from the Vikings’ X account and a link to their YouTube video, as the NFL blocks video embeds on our website.) I found O’Connell’s insight fascinating, as it reveals what made Jackson a desirable option for Minnesota when it came time to make the No. 24 overall pick in the NFL draft.

Anthony Morelli was so fucking bad

The hype surrounding him as a recruit is high comedy looking back at it now.

Ped State has a nice lineage of not developing QBs.

Allar was the #1 QB in his class and Hackenberg was very coveted as well (think some had him #1).

Jermaine Mathews Jr. Working to Make "BIA" Moniker Ring True Again for Ohio State's Cornerbacks in 2025​

All that feels different about being a starter for Jermaine Mathews Jr. is the depth-chart designation.

The junior made big contributions in big spots as both a freshman and a sophomore, even if he was backing up Ohio State’s starting outside cornerback tandem of the past two years, Denzel Burke and Davison Igbinosun.

“It just means I'm going to be out there a little bit more,” Mathews said in April. “It really doesn't change too much. Just make the plays when they come to me and just try to get better.”

Ohio State’s cornerback room lived up to its “Best in America” moniker in 2023 and 2024, helping the Buckeyes' pass defense finish as a top-three passing defense both years. Burke and nickel Jordan Hancock depart as starting corners from both those teams, but Mathews' goal is to step from supporting actor to main cast at cornerback and work with Igbinosun to ensure the label rings true again in 2025.

“I think we're the most talented cornerback room in the country,” Mathews said. “I thought we were last year as well. So I think nothing changed. We're BIA for a reason. So I think whoever's in the room, we’ve just got to keep up that standard.”

It's blatantly obvious he's content chilling on the beach and cashing checks. Basketball was de-prioritized a long time ago for him.

I saw this on the news the other day:

Runners scale the Great Wall in grueling marathon​

The Great Wall Marathon in China, which celebrated its 22nd anniversary on Saturday (May 17), saw 1,219 runners take part in one of the most challenging races of the year. The Great Wall Marathon includes about 3 to 4 miles on the Great Wall itself. The course also includes sections on the Great Wall Huangyaguan section, with 5,164 steps and 4 kilometers of uphill climb. The full marathon (26.2 miles) includes two sections on the Great Wall, while the half marathon (13.1 miles) and 8.5k fun run include one section

Just sayin':

1. Who know that there is actually a "marathon" that included 3 to 4 miles on the Great Wall?
2. Hell, I couldn't run a mile in under 6 minutes in high school. I'm not sure about traveling to China these days; however, that does look like a cool event.
