ANOTHER BIG LEAGUE BUCKEYE. In Monday’s Skull Session, we shared the news that the Seattle Mariners selected Ohio State catcher Mason Eckelman in the eighth round of this past weekend’s MLB draft. As it turns out, Eckelman won’t be the only member of last year’s Ohio State baseball team – or the only member of his family – joining the Mariners organization.

Ohio State shortstop Henry Kaczmar, Eckelman’s cousin, signed with the Mariners as a free agent on Monday. It continues what’s been an intertwined baseball journey for the cousins since high school, as both attended Walsh Jesuit High School before enrolling at Ohio State.

Kaczmar’s MLB opportunity comes after a senior season in which he earned second-team All-Big Ten honors. Kaczmar hit .316 for Ohio State last season with 12 home runs, 26 doubles (a single-season program record), 47 RBIs, 50 runs scored and seven stolen bases.

Just sayin': Undoubtedly, the the (football) Buckeyes all time biggest win over the Juggalos. I remember the game well, I was there. The game went down to the wire too.

Remember When: The 2002 Ohio State Team Mounted a Comeback to Hold Off an Upset Bid in Cincinnati and Keep Their Title Hopes Alive​

Krenzel quickly went to work, completing passes to wideout Michael Jenkins for gains of 12 and 16 yards. Krenzel capped off the 10-play, 47-yard drive with a six-yard run into the end zone, alleviating the pressure off of the Buckeyes and pushing them back into the lead 23-19.

With Ohio State back in the lead for the first time since early in the third quarter, the Buckeyes, once again, needed a spark from their defense.

With Ohio State back in the lead for the first time since early in the third quarter, the Buckeyes, once again, needed a spark from their defense.

Again, Cincinnati marched down the field, reaching the Ohio State 15-yard line with 48 seconds to play. Guidugli fired a trio of incompletions, including a pair of drops from Cincinnati receivers, before he was intercepted in the end zone, this time by Will Allen, to seal the win for the Buckeyes.

The come-from-behind victory over the Bearcats kept the Buckeyes on their national championship path, and it served as the first of several tight contests that would test their mettle.

BP!

The Brainy Ballers team I'm apart of has been working hard to launch our new fantasy football app prior to the upcoming season.

It boils down to a dynasty fantasy football stock market. Think a combination of Robinhood & your favorite fantasy football app (redrafts available)

We're in need of beta testers. I'm attaching screenshots from the app. If you're interested in being a tester or just the app itself upon launch, please either DM myself or @ me in a post with your email.

Thanks,

Seahawks agree to sell for reported record $9.612 billion to group led by 49ers limited partner Vinod Khosla​

Better Know A Buckeye: Darryus McKinley’s Speed and Strength on the Edge Could Allow Him to Be Versatile Defensive End for Ohio State

A late flip from LSU, Darryus McKinley has the speed and strength to become a versatile defensive end for Ohio State.

Better Know a Buckeye: Darryus McKinley’s Speed and Strength on the Edge Could Allow Him to Be Versatile Defensive End for Ohio State​

Depth Chart Outlook​

With a loaded group of defensive ends in 2026, including Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Beau Atkinson, Zion Grady, Epi Sitanilei, Alabama transfer Qua Russaw and fellow freshmen Khary Wilder and Dre Quinn, McKinley isn’t likely to see much playing time in year one.

How McKinley develops over the course of his first couple of years in Columbus will determine whether he ultimately earns his way onto the defensive line two-deep in 2027 or 2028.

Not trying to degrade anyone here but Atkinson is just a name on the roster until he shows he’s anything beyond that. In no way am I trying to put words in anyone’s mouth but I don’t understand why it’s some foregone conclusion that he’s a lock for the rotation.

Maybe I’m being harsh, but he didn’t stand out at all to me against high level competition.

Maybe perhaps the wrong thread but Atlanta will continue to host quarterfinal and semi-final games in the future:

2028-2031 - Mercedes Benz stadium will host CFP games

1). Beautiful, easy to get to stadium
2). Plenty of reasonable accomodations
3). Track record of hosting big events well
4). Airport is incredible

It looks like most of the article is behind a paywall. But it seems like they're pumping that up like no one else gets this privilege. All the article actually says it that the Peach Bowl is going to remain one of the 6 bowl games for the playoffs, just like the other 5 are staying there.

Ha - I just Googled the GPS coordinates of all of the 6 bowl games. And I get that AI is unreliable, so feel free to fact check my numbers. But guess which bowl game is farthest north?

Spoiler Alert:
Orange Bowl is at 25.777 Lat
Sugar Bowl is at 29.951 Lat
Cotton Bowl is at 32.779 Lat
Fiesta Bowl is at 33.527 Lat
Peach Bowl is at 33.755 Lat
Rose Bowl is at 34.161 Lat

For reference, Columbus, Ohio is at 39.962.
Ha. Look at a map. Draw a line from Pasadena through Atlanta. All 6 bowl games are on or below that line.
Also funny to me: In 12 years, 6 champions come from north of that line, and 6 come from south of that line. (I'm pretty sure that Clemson is just north of that line, so that's how I counted them.)
It's actually 8 from north of that line, and 4 from south. I was mistaken about Georgia. I think I read that Athens is at 33d 57', and mistook that for 33.57 degrees.

Just sayin': I still don't consider poker a sport....

Over 9K players in WSOP chasing $10M top prize​

With registration now closed, the $10,000 World Series of Poker main event is underway in earnest with the fourth-largest field in its history.

The 2026 edition of professional poker's de facto world championship has 9,208 players competing for a $10 million top prize from a pool of $85.6 million, the third consecutive year for that specific first prize. The top 1,382 players will receive a payout, with $1 million payouts beginning at ninth place.

The numbers are a bit short of the 9,735 entrants to last year's tournament, as well as the record 10,112 players in 2024 and $12.1 million first prize won by Daniel Weinman in 2023. That said, the WSOP main event exceeded 9,000 players for the fourth year in a row after breaking the barrier for the first time in 2023.

"We're proud of the staying power this strong entrant number represents," World Series of Poker CEO Ty Stewart said in a statement. "The WSOP continues to draw players from around the world for poker's most prestigious event. Now, the focus turns to watching a new legend unfold."

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi is back to defend his main event title after pocketing $10 million as last year's champion, his eighth WSOP bracelet. Mizrachi claimed his ninth bracelet by winning the $10,000 pot-limit Omaha championship just days before the main event began.

Michael Rossitto is the current chip leader at 770,500, with Jeff Fenster (747,000), Yannick Schumacher (738,000), Robert Gill (728,500) and Joseph Baghdadlian (705,000) all above the 700,000 threshold. Benny Glaser and Shaun Deeb, who also won their ninth bracelets at WSOP events earlier this summer, are at 193,000 chips and 368,500 chips, respectively.

"It's the one no-miss tournament of the year. If you're available and you have the 10K [buy-in], you're going to show up and play," Jack Effel, SVP of poker operations at Caesars Entertainment, which runs the event, told ESPN before the start. "You could be a professional poker player, not play any tournaments of the year, you're not going to miss the main event most likely. So with that said, I think it's going to be a great turnout as it always is."

The WSOP main event is back on ESPN platforms for the first time in over a decade. Play resumes on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET.

No way do I see Wright and Harrison in the same class. And regardless what his father says, NIL will be a big factor. At this point, unless I know a parent was a former pro, or is a C suite exec, NIL will always be a big deal with any high 4 or 5star recruit

So I guess an NBA career is out of the question?

Re: Fraud involving over $500,000 generally carries severe penalties ranging from 2 to 30 years in prison, depending on whether it is prosecuted at the state or federal level. Fines can reach up to $1,000,000, with mandatory restitution for victims

Just sayin': I'll go out on a limb here and say his NBA career is (at least) on hold for betweem 2 to 30 years.

I have questions. Forgive this old non hip guy.

So first off they would not allow him to go to the celebration unless he signed there contract for 2.75!!!

He asked to let him celebrate with his players and they said no.
Who is they?
OU and Notre Dame offered 3... Penn State 3.1 and Ohio State 2.75!!! Slap in his face they new the other offers!!

And all of this stuff about LJ and Day... Jim started playing HIS defense after the Oregon game not LJs!!!! Once he did not agree to the 2.75 it was 10:30 at night and they told him he'd be locked out of the building at midnight. He even said if u let me come and celebrate with the players I'll just nod smile and shake hands. They said no it would take away from the celebration...
LJ, Labron James, Larrry Johnson, Long John

I'm sure I've said this in this thread but I was at this game and all of the tsun folks were chuckling when JT went down. I turned around to the guy behind me and said something to the effect of the two of them being very different QBs... Perhaps the only time in my life where I've been on the other end of a QB going down and a team not being prepared in the least for the change of pace with a new QB under center.
