The Ohio State Team Shop is selling a 2026 Game Day Hatpin Set, which features pins for all seven of the Buckeyes’ home games. Most notably, the pin for Ohio State’s Military Appreciation Day game against Northwestern on Nov. 14 features a black helmet, suggesting Ohio State will wear its new “Tunnel Vision” uniforms when the Wildcats come to town.

Ohio State is set to wear all-black uniforms this season for the first time since 2022. The new version of the Tunnel Vision uniforms, which feature gray Buckeye Stripes, was unveiled in May as part of a coordinated rollout of Ohio State’s new uniforms for the 2026 season.

Virginia Tech Hokies (official thread)

ScriptOhio

Hokies name Penn State transfer Ethan Grunkemeyer top QB​

James Franklin officially named Ethan Grunkemeyer the Virginia Tech starting quarterback Monday as the Hokies prepare to open the season against VMI.

The move was widely expected after Grunkemeyer followed Franklin to Virginia Tech from Penn State. Grunkemeyer started the final seven games for the Nittany Lions last season after Drew Allar got hurt, winning his final four games. In 11 total appearances, Grunkemeyer threw for 1,339 yards and eight touchdowns, and he added one TD rushing.

Franklin was fired midway through the season last year at Penn State and ultimately took the Virginia Tech job in November. In discussing Grunkemeyer at his weekly news conference in Blacksburg, Virginia, Franklin said the quarterback had led the QB1 competition over the past few weeks.

"I think he has his teammates' respect. I think there's a level of consistency and maturity.

Just sayin': Virginia Tech went 3-9 last season. Franklin is a good coach and the team should easily get more than double the wins this season than they had last season. However, he's not likely to duplicate Frank Beemer's run of winning double digits 10 times (including 8 consecutive seasons) before his slip into mediocracy. Times have changed; it now takes more NIL money than Virginia is currently spending to compete for championships.

Dianté Griffin Returns to Ohio Stadium for “Full Circle” Moment After Transferring to Ball State​

Archie Griffin will have rooting interests on both sides as Ohio State hosts Ball State in its season opener on Saturday.

Griffin will be rooting for Ohio State to win, of course, as the Buckeye legend still deeply loves his alma mater more than 50 years after winning his second Heisman Trophy. But he’ll also be cheering for his grandson to play well in Ohio Stadium.

Those rooting interests were one and the same for the past four years. Dianté Griffin was a walk-on cornerback for Ohio State from 2022-25. Griffin entered the transfer portal for his final year of college football, however, seeking an opportunity to be a scholarship player. That opportunity just so happened to come from Ohio State’s season-opening opponent.

As such, Dianté Griffin will begin his new chapter at Ball State playing in the same stadium where he played his home games for the last four years, and where he became an Ohio State graduate in May.

“It’s a surreal moment. Full circle,” Dianté told Eleven Warriors when asked about returning to the Shoe. “I never thought I would be playing at Ohio Stadium after my Senior Day against Rutgers last year again.”

Still proud to be a Buckeye​

Dianté has only good things to say when reflecting on his time as a Buckeye. While he played only three snaps on special teams over four seasons, he’s proud that he was part of a national championship team and of the work that he put in behind the scenes.

“People always see the guys that are out there going to war, but they don't always recognize the people that were going to war behind the scenes throughout the week, putting in that real pain in practice. But we got our credit in the Woody, and that's really all that matters,” Dianté said. “During that time, you put so much into the moment to be a part of the team and be a part of the success, and it just feels like it all pays off.”

Dianté says his favorite part of being a Buckeye was the connections he made with his former Ohio State teammates and coaches over the last four years. He’s excited to reunite with many of them this weekend, particularly the Buckeyes’ returning defensive backs and Ohio State secondary coach Tim Walton.

“All my BIA brothers, man, they're always checking in on me, I'm checking in on them,” Dianté said. “Inky Jones, Jaylen McClain, Leroy Roker, Jermaine (Mathews Jr.), they're my brothers, man. And Coach Walt, he really helped me. I came in with Coach Walt, my first year was his first year as well, so we did a lot together. So it's going to be nice seeing all them boys.”

As the seventh different member of his family to play for Ohio State, also joining his father (Andre Griffin), uncle (Adam Griffin), great uncles (Ray Griffin and Duncan Griffin) and his other grandfather (Dave Reynolds), Dianté is proud to be an Ohio State graduate and that he was able to continue his family’s legacy as a Buckeye.

“It means the world to me personally,” Griffin said. “All my family members on my mother and my father's side all graduated from Ohio State. I grew up being a Buckeye fan, I was a Buckeye for life. And when I got the opportunity to continue my athletic career and my academic career at Ohio State, I took that on and did the work for me to finish and get my degree.”

Just sayin': In case you wondered......Diante’s father, Andre Griffin, played running back for the Buckeyes from 1998-2001, while his uncle, Adam Griffin, was a defensive back at Ohio State from 2010-13 before a shoulder injury ended his career. While neither had the same impact on their field as Archie, they both found success after college, as Andre went into coaching and Adam went into the financial sector.

Hamilton West Side falls to Japan in LLWS third-place game | Recap​

Hamilton West Side's amazing World Series run was bookended by heartbreak.

Ohio fell to Japan, 3-2, in the Little League World Series Third-Place Game on Aug. 30. Ohio had pitched a shutout through five innings, but Japan put up three runs in the bottom of the sixth. The game ended as an Ayumu Hasegawa bunt turned into a walk-off single.

Hamilton's ace pitcher Boone Treadway had five dominant innings against Japan. He pitched 5.1 shutout innings, striking out five before hitting the pitch limit. Offensively, Hamilton took control of the game first. Though Japan held West Side scoreless for three innings, the dam broke in the fourth. Xander Kinkade delivered a well-placed ball in right field for a two RBI double, scoring both Josiah Infante and Bob Frazier.

Japan's bats came alive in the final frame. The International runners-up had only recorded three hits in the first five innings, but secured four in the bottom of the sixth to win the game.

West Side's long journey began over a month prior at the Ohio state tournament. Hamilton won its record 26th state title on July 24th, defeating Canfield 4-3. The champions of Ohio then steamrolled through the Great Lakes Regional Tournament, winning the tournament on Aug. 12 after racking up a 38-8 margin of victory in four games. The championship granted West Side its sixth trip to the Little League World Series, a world record.
