Ohio Stadium aka THE Horseshoe (Official Thread)

This would go crazy at night! I don’t care what the traditionalists say, marketing and branding is key to being king.

I'm a traditionalist who understands that this helps recruiting, so I'm more than ok with it. The only time I've ever been annoyed by alt unis and such is for the Game.

Any of the home games vs former Pac 10 schools are the perfect time for alternates.

What kind of car do you drive?

Daughter still has her 2015 Subaru. Less than 40,000 miles (works from home, and no car in Chicago for four years). Anyway, she wants a new one, but hesitates to take on the payments. Kinda guessing she was hoping we'd kick in, but didn't whine/complain when did not. Runs like a top (Subaru didn't charge me last time took in, says no change since the last year), and only drives to stores for groceries. Took it to Indiana for cousin's holiday party, and not a hiccup.....if they're not costing you many dollars to keep running, keep the oil changed, and brake pads fresh.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

Meh, I obviously feel bad for the kids but the separation of academics and athletics in this country is likely going to be better for both parties in the long run. Long time coming.

NHL Buckeye Tracker


DOBES HAS THEM THINKING '86 (AND '71). You're forgiven for not knowing who Jakub Dobes is, but after today, you're not.

Dobes, for those who don't know, is the starting goalie for the Montreal Canadiens, and right now, he's the king of that city, which – apologies to Toronto, Moscow, and Stockholm – is the hockey capital of the universe.

Jakub Dobes is also a Buckeye.

And he was damn good while in Columbus for two seasons, finishing with a 2.29 goals-against average and .926 save percentage in 74 starts on the way to capturing Big Ten Goaltender of the Year, co-Freshman of the Year, First-Team All-Big Ten and several other awards.

But that was then. Now, the rookie goaltender is getting glow-ups from The Athletic.

With his team's 6-2 win over a very good Buffalo Sabres team in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Second Round Sunday night, Dobes passed Carey Price for the most wins by a rookie goalie in a single playoff in the cap era. The Habs now own a 2-1 series lead, and a closeout of the Sabres would make Dobes just the fifth rookie goalie to reach eight postseason wins since 2006.

Montreal has a special relationship with rookie goalies who have won the Stanley Cup. Ken Dryden did it in 1971. Patrick Roy pulled it off in 1986. Both of those goalies are Hockey Hall of Famers and both have retired jersey monuments outside Montreal's Bell Centre.

With his 2.13 goals-against average and .918 save percentage in the postseason, he might be on his way to that kind of status, as well.

2027 PA OL Jimmy Kalis is a Buckeye!!!

“I set my top six and I wanted to show respect to all six of those schools, but after all six of those visits in the spring and after my Ohio State visit in the spring, I knew that was home,” Kalis said. “I felt super comfortable talking to all the coaches, so I set a date after those six and I stuck to my gut and I committed.”

DL Damari Simeon (Official Thread)

Login to view embedded media

Depth Chart Outlook​

In his first season as a Buckeye, Simeon will compete with fellow freshmen Emanuel Ruffin and Jamir Perez for the sixth DT spot on the three-deep behind James Smith, Eddrick Houston, Jason Moore, John Walker and Will Smith Jr.

If he develops well on and off the field as a freshman, Simeon's first real chance at playing time could come as a sophomore, though he’s more likely to contend for a starting job as an upperclassman.

Simeon could also play as a defensive end in three-man fronts given the versatility he demonstrated throughout his high school career, but defensive tackle will be his primary position for Ohio State.
