RB Maurice Clarett (B1G Freshman of the Year, National Champion)

  • Day said Maurice Clarett gives Ohio State "an edge" working with the program behind the scenes. "I have a lot of respect for Maurice and where he's come in his life. This is somebody to me that has helped out other programs. ... I like his mindset. He brings a toughness, a seriousness, a credibility."

Injuries and artificial turf

Perhaps we should pay Scott's to put their name on the field instead of Safelite and take care of actual grass. It could be Scott's Lawn at Ohio Stadium.
Football needs to be played outdoors on grass. (I've read all the reasons it isn't practical/possible at the Shoe, so chalk this up as my one unhinged fan opinion)

DB Damon Webb (2017 Cotton Bowl Def MVP, Ottawa Redblacks)

Webb named All-CFL​

While we focus primarily on NFL players from Ohio State in Across The Shield, another former Buckeye playing north of the border deserves a shoutout for his professional football performance this season.

In his third season as a member of the CFL’s Ottawa Redblacks and fourth CFL season overall, former Ohio State safety Damon Webb earned All-CFL honors for the first time as he had a standout season in which he recorded 69 tackles with five interceptions – including two pick-sixes in one game – plus two sacks and a forced fumble.

Pete Rose (Charlie Hustle, 4256, Reds HOF, R.I.P.)

I was pretty upset when I heard the news on this one, absolute legend. I hope he gets inducted into the HOF and his family takes whatever relics are associated with it and tosses it into the Ohio River in protest for stiffing him until he died. That shit pissed me off so bad to hold him out until he passed and I can't help but feel animosity over it.

That said, I moreso was sad to see his passing. RIP Charlie Hustle.

Ohio State vs #19 Texas, Monday, Nov 4, 2024 @ 10 PM ET, in Las Vegas, TNT

to each their own but I didnt think Meechie looked bad at all. Hit a couple 3's and played some good active defense. Had a few shots roll out or his stat line wouldve looked even better. Probably all jacked up on mt dew being back in the S 'n G!
I can't really pinpoint any specific moments but I just wasn't impressed with him. Also others were stealing the show with their play, so fewer opportunities for him. But I know he is a talent and it could be he was excited to be back in the right uniform. Mountain Dew may have been involved haha. I have no concerns of his play over the course of the season.

SG Katie Smith (All B1G, B1G Champion, OSU HOF, Asst. Coach Minnesota Lynx)

Just amazing. Nothing else to say about it.

Hopefully this is just the "offseason" job for Jacy and she'll return to the league next season. Hate to think she would only get to play a year
Depends on which pays more. As a bonus, she gets to be closer to her sister here.

WNBA

Not to take anything away from the ones that went before, the Lieberman's, the Cheryl's, etc. although it seems like there's a big bulge of talent in last year's class, considerably more than one or two superstars per year. Brink was doing great, CC, and even Jacy earned starting spots as the season wore on. More than I've mentioned as well, just not as prominent. Butts in the seats are wonderful, but the TV revenues are certainly key. Totally agree. The streaming services and ancillary channels (B10+ comes to mind), are stepping in to fill the tv void. Guess some major station or other will have to take a measured plunge on televising WNBA to make them solid. Heck, I'd probably pay a bit more for a WNBA channel.

Offensive Linemen​

Seth McLaughlin: 52
Tegra Tshabola: 52
Josh Fryar: 52
Donovan Jackson: 50
Carson Hinzman: 50
George Fitzpatrick: 16
Luke Montgomery: 14
Ian Moore: 14
Joshua Padilla: 14
Austin Siereveld: 13
Toby Wilson: 3

Ohio State used the same starting lineup on the offensive line as it did against Penn State with Jackson starting at left tackle and Hinzman starting at left guard. Hinzman left the game for Ohio State’s final two plays of the first half after suffering an apparent knee injury and was replaced by Siereveld, but Hinzman returned for the start of the second half. Jackson came out of the game at the start of the fourth quarter – two plays before the rest of Ohio State’s starters – and was replaced by Fitzpatrick at left tackle after he was slow to get up on Ohio State’s second-to-last play of the third quarter.

Fitzpatrick remained in the game for the entire fourth quarter with the second-team offensive line, which also consisted of Montgomery at left guard, Padilla at center, Siereveld at right guard and Moore at right tackle. Wilson, a self-described glue guy, saw his first offensive snaps of the year when he replaced Siereveld at RG for the game’s final series.
