Los Angeles Lakers (17x NBA Champions)

Sources: Josh Kushner, Bob Iger to buy Lakers for $12.5B​

The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for $12.5 billion, a record-breaking price, multiple sources told ESPN.

The businessmen were involved in the expansion process in Las Vegas, but in a stunning turn, they pivoted to make an aggressive offer to buy the Lakers from Mark Walter, who purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year for a then-record franchise valuation of approximately $10 billion.

Just sayin': $12.5 Billion......

Ohio State Fencing (2020 B1G Champions)

Yes, it's an official ncaa D1 sport. It's considered co-ed though, so there's only one set of points to get.
Yeah, almost everything you would imagine has an NCAA Championship. The exceptions include 2 sports that are dominated by tOSU.

Artistic (formerly Synchronized) Swimming, which of course tOSU has won 34 times.

And Pistol, which the Buckeyes have won for the last 6 seasons, part of 11 overall co-ed and 8 women’s titles.

So there are a bunch of championships that haven’t been included in the Director’s Cup.

Buckeye Traditions (Merged)

Ross Bjork admits new Ohio State tradition is a big swing-and-miss​

The Ohio State athletic director acknowledged that this tradition has not had the pop he was hoping for.

One of the traditions that Bjork tried to introduce was the playing of a song from the band Caamp, which is from Upper Arlington. They have a song named "Ohio", which Bjork wanted to play in the Shoe to help get fans fired up. Recently, he acknowledged that it hasn't worked out as he had hoped.

Ross Bjork backs down from Ohio State tradition he tried to start​

While speaking on 97.1 The Fan, Bjork admitted that the song hasn't hit in the way he was hoping it would. Bjork said that they will still play the song, but not in the way that they were before.

Just sayin': Never heard of it before. I found the song on YouTube.

I guess they would have had to of played it on the video screen. I've been to the games and don't ever remember seeing/hearing that song. Actually, I think it is kind of "crappy".......:lol:

Anybody actually like that "tradition"?

LS Bradley Robinson (Official Thread)


Login to view embedded media
Former Ohio State long snapper Bradley Robinson earned his fourth degree (!) from the university last weekend, officially becoming a doctor with a specialty in kinesiology and exercise science.

Robinson played at Ohio State for six seasons from 2017-22, earning Academic All-Big Ten honors in all six years and winning the Rose Bowl Game Scholar-Athlete award in 2021. During his time as a Buckeye, he earned two bachelor’s degrees in human nutrition science and human development and family studies in 2021, followed by a master’s degree in exercise physiology in 2022.

9 years at The Ohio State University, 4 rings, 4 degrees, pretty good numbers if you ask me....8D

Robinson deserves plenty of praise for his accomplishments, but especially when you consider where he’s from: Troy, Michigan. He may be the only person on the planet — maybe ever? — to call the state up north home while holding four degrees from Ohio State.

Regardless, well done, Dr. Robinson. Well done.

Jackson Cantwell (OL Miami FL.)

ESPN: Indeed, the deal Miami gave five-star freshman Jackson Cantwell that reportedly approaches $2 million per year was another signal that the million-dollar standard is likely here to stay for highly recruited tackle prospects, regardless of how prepared they are to be day one starters.
Unfortunately they have to be game to be part of the game. There seems to be a difference between a 5 star and anything less than 5 star tackle.
