Welcome to the Hall of Fame, Jerry Emig.

Emig, who will retire in 2026 after 28 years in athletics communications — including the past 19 at Ohio State — was named as one of six members of the College Sports Communicators Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026 on Monday.

“I am thrilled, appreciative and humbled to be recognized as a CSC Hall of Fame member,” Emig said in a statement. “The feeling of pride I have to be included among this distinguished and distinctive group of communicators is real and will be everlasting. I want to thank the CSC Special Awards Committee and current Hall of Fame members for this honor.

"I also want to thank the communications staff at Ohio State University for its spirit, work ethic and leadership that makes every day in this profession a pleasure. Working alongside colleagues, coaches, student-athletes and members of the media has been wonderful, and I will forever be grateful that it has positioned me to receive this honor.”

LB Marcus Freeman (HC Notre Dame, Constant Backtracker)

FWIW, Marcus Freeman's son Vinny must be a pretty good athlete too. He committed to go to Cornell to wrestle:

What year was Ohio State's best offense? What year was Ohio State's best defense?

Offense: 2014 team. After starting sort of slow (scored 34 in a win against Navy and 21 in the only loss of the year to Va Tech), they scored 42+ points a game in 13 of their 15 final games (the two they didn't were both 31-point games against Penn State and Minnesota). They scored 672 points totals for the year (44.8 ppg) and 617 points (47.5 ppg) after their "slow start".

Defense: 1973 team, and it's not even close. They gave up two TDs and two FGs total in their first eight games, and of those only one TD in a five-game stretch. I'll say that again: The defense gave up a single score in a five-game stretch. In their final two regular seasons games, they gave up 13 to Iowa and 10 to Michigan. For the regular season--10 games--they surrendered a grand total of 43 points. They did give up 21 to USC in the Rose Bowl, but their offense scored 42 points.

2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

Just watched the Landis and Lesmerises recap to punish myself some more. It's hard to win when your coaches, your offensive line and your quarterback all shit the bed. That's how you end up with 14 points.
A lot of false positives throughout the year

Ohio State @ Oregon, Thursday Jan. 8, 1030pm EST, BTN

Too late of a game to be stay up to watch on a work night but I just watched the highlights without knowing what happened and was shocked when Ohio State went from like a 3 point lead to 24 in a blink of the eye in the 2nd half.

Very nice road win I didn't expect them to get. It be nice if Ohio State makes the tournament considering Kentucky blows this year and has no shot.
