Just sayin': Yeah, so far they haven't been very good.

The complete UFL standings for the 2026 regular season are as follows:

Posted on ESPN's website:

The NFL is expected to award the 2028 draft to Minneapolis during its quarterly meetings this week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday. A formal announcement is likely to come Tuesday following a vote by owners.

Nashville is expected to be named host of Super Bowl LXIV in 2030 by the NFL owners, who will vote for the city on Tuesday during the spring league meeting, sources told the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.

Developed Here: Ohio State’s 25 NFL Draft Picks Over Last Two Years Prove It’s More Than Just A Motto​

Developed Here.

It might just seem like a simple hashtag on social media, one of the mottos for the football team, or a cliché statement, but for Ohio State, the last two NFL drafts back up that it’s one of the best programs in all of college football in developing talent.
Development has always been key for a team to reach its maximum potential. That was the case before the transfer portal era and remains the case now, as well, even if the portal allows teams to fill holes where said team might have missed on an evaluation or didn't get the development from a player that it was expecting.

The Buckeyes have not only been able to develop prospects immediately out of high school, but also ones that they have added through the portal. It's turned into the perfect recipe for Ohio State, one that Ryan Day and Co. continue to lean on.

To take a closer look at this, we broke down Ohio State's 25 NFL draft picks over the last two years, which tied an NFL record (Georgia, 2022-23), to see how long each selection played for the Buckeyes.

OSU's NFL Draft Picks the Last Two Years and No. of Years in the Program
For an easier breakdown of those numbers:

• Of the school record and draft-high 14 picks Ohio State had in 2025 (one short of the record set by Georgia in 2022), 11 spent at least four years with the Buckeyes, with 12 being in Columbus for multiple years.
• Of Ohio State's four first-round picks in 2025, three spent four seasons at OSU and all four were with the Buckeyes for multiple years.
• Of Ohio State's draft-high 11 picks it had in 2026, nine spent multiple years in Columbus, including seven that were Buckeyes for 3-4 seasons.
• Of the four first-round picks OSU had in 2026, all of which were selected in the first 11 picks, each one donned the scarlet and gray for multiple years, with three representing the Buckeyes for 3-4 seasons.

In total, 13 of Ohio State’s 25 draft picks over the last two years were Buckeyes for at least four years and 21 were in Columbus for multiple years. Nine of the 25 transferred into Ohio State, but five of those nine were Buckeyes for multiple years.

And to think that when he commited to tOSU, he was the 'throw-in' with the shooter, the rebounder and the ball handler. He's done himself proud. Good for him.

And this will be his third OC in three seasons. Cannot see any major changes being made by Smith, probably mostly tweaks, rather than directional changes. Kinda like the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' mode. We always hear, that the TE will get more involved, and we'll do the RPO more, or hit the underneath receiver who's at speed type of things. Maybe the OC will give formations that look like pass, but are runs, and vice versa. Dunno. Just going to enjoy the show. tOSU can/will out talent most of the B10, and hopefully show well in it's only major OOL game, Texas, and then await the playoffs, where the caliber of team we're facing is on the same level as the Buckeyes. Go Bucks

You guys are watching Cleveland make it to the conference finals without this flopping douche, and you want to blow it all up to bring him (and his kid) into the mix? Cmon man.

I was wondering why I was seeing all these posts from Steelers people glazing Rodgers. That fanbase can lie to themselves like no other.

Apparently his time at tOSU was just 'not that great'.

Just joking. Had no idea that is Justin smith’s kid. Haven’t heard that name in a while

No way! Justin Smith was one of my all time favorite Bengals. Talk about great bloodlines. Really huge commitment. Some might say...

You can throw that prediction out the window now

Diebs actually stacks up well compared to MOST B1G coaches over their respective first 2 seasons; however, there's no doubt this upcoming season is the crucial one. With 3 years left on his contract, after this upcoming season he will have 2 years left if not extended, and OSU typically does not let coaches have under 2 years left for recruiting purposes. Everything is lined up for him to lead the team to a good season and get a contract extension, if it doesn't happen there's no where else to turn.

Texas receiver shows awful moves a few months ahead of huge showdown with Ohio State​

This video is worse than the one that Brandon Inniss had a few weeks ago.



Over each of the last two seasons, the Ohio State football team has taken down Texas. In 2024, it was in the Cotton Bowl, which propelled them towards winning the national championship. Last season, the Buckeyes took down the Longhorns at home in the Shoe in the season opener.

This year, the Ohio State Buckeyes travel down to Austin in Week 2. Both teams will get a warm-up game in Week 1 before this massive clash. These are two of the best teams in the country again, so this game will certainly have College Football Playoff implications.

In the offseason, Texas added Cam Coleman from the Transfer Portal. The former Auburn wide receiver was viewed as one of the best prospects in the portal. The newest Longhorn recently had a workout that was videotaped. If this is any indication of how he's going to play, Ohio State is going to be very happy.

Cam Coleman's offseason workout should make Ohio State fans happy​

In several of the clips, Coleman looks like his shoes are stuck in mud. He looks slow as he starts each route. What makes matters worse is that he doesn't have any defense playing against him.

Ohio State receiver Brandon Inniss received some criticism for a similar video that came out with his offseason work. However, it's pretty clear that Coleman's tape is much worse than what Inniss put out. Coleman is supposed to be an elite talent. Inniss has never been better than a third option.

If this is how Coleman is going to play when these two teams meet in September, Ohio State fans are going to be ecstatic. Ohio State is replacing a couple of starting cornerbacks, so a slower Coleman would certainly help the defense in that big matchup.

Texas fans have been touting his arrival as something that can help take the team to the next level. Now, fans are piling on him about looking slow. A few months ahead of the biggest matchup for Texas in the non-conference portion of the schedule, this looks bad.

Just sayin': The "Horse From U.N.C.L.E." wins The Preakness.....

Napoleon Solo wins 151st Preakness Stakes​

The horse, trained by Chad Summers, entered with 7-1 odds.

For all its history and tradition, the Preakness was expected to have a different feel this year. Golden Tempo, the Kentucky Derby winner, and Renegade, the Derby runner-up, were not slated to run the race. This was only the second time in 40 years that the top two Derby finishers had sat out.

The race was also being held at Laurel Park, in Laurel, Maryland, as Baltimore’s Pimlico Race Course continues to undergo renovations. A field with no head-and-shoulders favorite? On a new track? Anything could happen.

Napoleon Solo, a horse that entered with 7-1 odds and had finished fifth in his last two races, won the Preakness on Saturday, overtaking the favorite Taj Mahal down the stretch while also holding off another strong contender, Iron Honor.

For Napoleon Solo’s trainer Chad Summers, this was his first Triple Crown win. “To come here with a horse that Mr. Gold allowed me to pick out for $40,000 and get the job done on a stage like this, it’s just unbelievable,” Summers said on the NBC telecast afterward, referring to Al Gold, the horse’s owner.

Iron Honor took second while Chip Honcho finished third.

Ohio State is going after a Big Ten opponent’s key recruit that is set to play college football with the son of Ryan Day​

Ryan Day’s son recently committed to play football at a Big Ten program. Now, the Ohio State Buckeyes are trying to flip one of RJ Day’s future targets.

Ohio State is after a future teammate of RJ Day to try to pull off a flip​

The Buckeyes’ coaching staff has been busy on the road recruiting and recently made a stop in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, and offered a Northwestern commitment. Ohio State has extended an offer to 2027 three-star TE Brady Johnson, who has been committed to Northwestern since Feb. 4.

Asked if he would take an official visit to Ohio State, Johnson said, “As of right now, I think so. I am fully committed to Northwestern still though,” via Rivals.

Ohio State tight ends guru Keenan Bailey recently visited Johnson at home home and he clearly has the attention of the 6-foot-3, 220-pound tight end.

“I love him as a coach,” Johnson said, via Rivals. “He is a highly intelligent and energetic coach that hammers down on the little things. He expects the most out of his players and that they will give him the most back. He is someone you definitely want to play for as he gives everything he has to make you and the team better.”

Ohio State has plenty of work with the class of 2027 to get done with just 11 commitments at this time. The Buckeyes are still in search of their first tight end commitment for the class, so it makes sense that they’re turning up the heat on Johnson.

And has the expectations that come with such a HS pedigree. I'd be happy with him getting meaningful minutes, and making an impact when he's on the floor. There appears to be a good recruited base to this team, and flavored with rented players to fill in the gaps. So we'll see how well, Diebs plays his pieces. Here's to W's! Go Bucks!

Well this team is going to need a heck of a lot more from Anthony Thompson than to just play meaningful minutes and make an impact. For this team to reach its potential, Thompson needs to take over the Alpha role. With his height, length and agility, he's practically unguardable - the question-mark is how efficient he will be.

Hurry up and get here.... Seems to be a place for you in the two-deep, although maybe not such a splash as Bynum made.
