Locksley's uncertain future at Maryland​

Locksley enters the season on one of the Power Four's hottest seats. After three consecutive bowl victories, Maryland has now suffered through back-to-back 4-8 seasons. Last year, a slew of injuries forced the Terps to throw several freshmen into the starting lineup.

"We feel like the tough times are behind us now, as this inexperienced group has gained real experience -- three games where we lost on the last drive while leading in 11 of the 12 games total," Locksley said last month. "When you think about that with a young team, you think finish. That's what we've spent the last six months talking about."

While Locksley has been given some grace for last year's circumstances, patience has run thin at Maryland -- his contract only runs through the 2027 season.

Locksley's future rests largely on the talented young core he convinced the program to retain. Quarterback Malik Washington is the cornerstone of that group after flashing considerable upside as a freshman. Maryland needs him to make a sophomore leap in a revamped offense under coordinator Clint Trickett.

The Terrapins also need immediate growth from several second-year contributors, especially with Mathis lost for the season. Unseasoned players who were afforded developmental snaps last fall must become weekly answers against a punishing Big Ten schedule.

Locksley kept important pieces from leaving, but that won't outweigh another losing record. Maryland's sophomore class represents his best argument for patience. Now it's up to him to prove the program is still moving forward.

Just sayin': The Turtles have a fairly easy schedule in 2026. Locksley sure gets a real break with that schedule.



Maryland should beat Rutgers, UCLA, and Purdue. In addition, if they win the 3 OOC games; that puts them at 6 wins. Maybe they can steal another game for a winning record.

Just sayin': Hayden did worse at Colorado (as a Jr & Sr) than he did at Ohio State (as a Fr & Soph). Hopefully he can put up some better numbers at Memphis.

Written by a very underappreciated musician. I like David Allen Coe's version, but I like Steve Goodman's version even better.

He gave us that and City of New Orleans (I love Arlo's version)...damn right he's underappreciated!

It appears Day made a good choice in picking up Sayin lol

Anyone capable of giving the Springboks a challenge next year, @Steve19, or will it be three in a row?

As long as he didn't offer to paint him like one of the French girls...

Jaylen is in for a big season, he was already standing out in all the right ways last year. A year learning from Downs and getting the system down pat, and I think he'll be lights out. Safety play could barely miss a beat with reliability...Jaylen, Moore and Little (others vying but those are my main 3) could team up to be the nation's top safety unit, or damn near it. Lots of experience and ability there.

Better Know a Buckeye: Jamir Perez’s Size Could Give Ohio State a True Nose Tackle in the Middle of the Defensive Line​

Depth Chart Outlook​

Perez's unique size and skill put him in a position to potentially earn snaps quickly. While John Walker and Will Smith Jr. are expected to lead the depth chart at nose tackle this season, Perez is Ohio State’s largest defensive tackle by more than 30 pounds, which could make him an asset in goal-line and short-yardage situations as early as his freshman year.

Walker and Smith are both fourth-year seniors in their final two years of eligibility, so Perez has a chance to contend for a starting job no later than his third year, with the potential to push for a regular role in the rotation as a sophomore.

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......

“And then you were, absolute, dirty ass” - great eval by Valenti. Didn’t realize he was a scout.

Hamilton West Side (Ohio) tops Kentucky, reaches Little League World Series​

The Hamilton West Side Little League baseball team has reached the Little League World Series for the first time since 2021 after defeating Kentucky's North Oldham, 6-0, in Whitestown, Indiana, in the Great Lakes region championship game on ESPN2.

The 2026 Little League World Series begins on Wednesday, Aug. 19, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. As the Great Lakes region winner, West Side will face the yet-to-be-determined Mountain Region champion on Aug. 20 at 2 p.m.

West Side starter Boone Treadway, the son of Badin head coach Brion Treadway, pitched a one-hit, complete-game shutout. He threw 62 pitches, and struck out nine.

"Feels amazing," Treadway told ESPN after the game. "I'm just glad to get to do it with this group of kids."

Josiah Infante hit a two-run homer during West Side's six-run first inning.

West Side is a 23-time Ohio state champion making its sixth LLWS appearance. The team also made LLWS appearances in 1991, 1993, 2007 and 2010.

In 2021, West Side advanced to the LLWS final before losing to Michigan.

West Side and North Oldham met twice in the Great Lakes regional. West Side won the first meeting, 11-4.

West Side cruised past Michigan and Indiana in the first two rounds of the tournament.

Only thing that sucks reading these things this year is knowing we had 3 studs (Styles, Reese, and Downs) and didn’t get it done. What a defense 2025 was.

So happy to see the reports about Reese etc

Jeremiah Smith has an NIL deal with Adidas. I remember reading about how he represents them off the field, because he has to wear Nike on the field due to Ohio State's contract with Nike for apparel and shoes.

Chris Henry Jr. has an NIL deal with Nike (as do Bo Jackson and Jermain Mathews Jr.). But I think Henry might have had an NIL deal with Adidas while in high school.

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.

Gonna be a playmaker for us!

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".......

Anybody actually like that "tradition"?
