I just looked at the schedule for the Guardians as I was curious when their season starts. I thought maybe they switched over to the National League. They play four teams from the NL in their first six series.

Hey, we gotta start out in warm and sunny Seattle!

Messick got the last spot in the rotation over Logan Allen...crazy the whole rotation is almost the same age. Bibee, Williams, Cecconi, Cantillo, and Messick, I dig it. Like how our bullpen will be once Gaddis and Walters can join Cade/Armstrong/Sabrowski.

If our young guys can stay healthy, this lineup has the ability to make a big jump from last year. Valera and Chase in the OF, Bazzana sooner than later at 2B, being able to see Fry hit instead of Hedges...also excited to see Manzardo with another year of experience. It's March so I have hope and optimism....can't wait for warm summer nights and the sound of Tom Hamilton coming thru the airwaves

Yeah, they got smoked by Tennecheat. Just want to support the way the Miami fans drove up 75 to Dayton. Wow. First time have ever seen a team in speedos run down the aisles....great season guys. Oh well, back to Millett

One of One: There Will Never Be Another Ohio State Player Like Bruce Thornton​

“It didn’t go our way, and that’s alright. Life, sometimes stuff don’t go your way,” Thornton said. “But I’m just appreciating the teammates, the coaching staff and Buckeye Nation just sticking with me for four years. I’m so appreciative for everything that happened in my life, man. It’s not the way I wanted to end it, but that’s just how it is sometimes.

"... It hits the heart at home. I feel like I did a lot for this program. The program did a lot for me. The memories, the relationships have done a lot for me," he continued. "Emotionally, crying because you don’t get to share the locker room (anymore) with the guys you’ve been working with since June. So I just told those guys, ‘I’m just one call away.’ If you need anything from me, just call me and I’ll be here. I’m always a Buckeye for life.”

Thornton did more than "a lot" for Ohio State, and while he thanked his fellow Buckeyes, OSU fans can thank him more for what he brought to the program the last four years. Buckeye fans praised Thornton all season, but it was a very special Senior Day that really showed just how much No. 2 has meant to Ohio State.

“Bruuuuuuuuuuce.”

A shame that it's not because he's working at a gas station.

That's not true. A bunch of teams made the playoffs just last year.

My schedule was a little crazy this week. I'm reloading the torrent now. It's huge (203GB) because I downloaded multiple versions of each game.

Can someone seed this. I have been trying to get this season for a month and there are no seeds...thank you...

been stuck at 21% for weeks...

If he absorbs all the technical aspects LJS teaches him, he makes the effort and puts the time in the weight room it doesn’t seem absurd to think he could get meaningful run this season at least in obvious passing downs.

He looks like a weapon already. Didn’t realize how much of a dude he was.

Just take a chill pill or step away from the keyboard. The whims of a 17 year old and the reporting us such really have no bearing on my life.

Underrated? Hmmm, so long as we don't keep using him as a fullback maybe. Didn't think much of his blocking when lined up that way.

Ah...tackling the important matters

Florida State kicker arrested for alleged battery on law enforcement officer, resisting with violence​

Conor McAneney joined the Seminoles team as a transfer in January​

Florida State kicker Conor McAneney was arrested Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on allegations of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence and trespassing an occupied structure, according to Broward County jail records.

Court documents list the first two counts as third-degree felonies. Jail records showed McAneney was being held as of Thursday morning. All counts listed as pending and bond set at $0.00.

A Florida State spokesperson told Noles247 that McAneney has been suspended indefinitely from all team activities.

The arrest comes as Florida State is in the middle of its spring practice schedule. The team is not currently practicing and is scheduled to resume workouts next Tuesday, with additional practices set later next week and through the end of March.

The arrest comes as Florida State is in the middle of its spring practice schedule. The team is not currently practicing and is scheduled to resume workouts next Tuesday, with additional practices set later next week and through the end of March.

McAneney joined Florida State as a transfer in January after spending the 2025 season at Division II Quincy University in Illinois. He appeared in 11 games as a placekicker and kickoff specialist, converting 7 of 10 field-goal attempts with a long of 45 yards. He also handled kickoffs, averaging 60.2 yards on 49 attempts with 16 touchbacks.

Originally from Northern Ireland, McAneney comes from a non-traditional football background and previously played Gaelic football before transitioning to American football.

Just sayin': Obviously McAneney didn't read the memo yet that advised all Free Shoes football players to only commit crimes within the jurisdiction of the Tallassee Police Department. The "get out of jail free pass" that they enjoy in Tallassee does not extend to other Florida police departments including those in Broward County.

NCAA softens targeting punishment: Committee nixes automatic suspensions for players​

After more than a decade of complaints from coaches, the NCAA is eliminating the automatic carryover suspension for first-time offenders​

The targeting rule in college football has long been a subject of discontent among coaches, and finally, change is coming to the penalty structure.

The Division I FBS Oversight Committee approved a one-year trial rule on Thursday that fundamentally reshapes targeting penalties. Now, first-time offenders will be allowed to participate in the next game, regardless of which half the foul occurs. Previously, players charged with targeting in the second half were booted from the game and suspended for the first half of the next game.

A player disqualified for targeting a second time during a season will be required to miss the first half of the next game. A third targeting penalty triggers a full-game suspension. No player in the FBS was charged with three targeting penalties in 2025.

Conferences will now also have the option to file an appeal for second offenses. The appeal can also include the player's first targeting foul. If the NCAA's national coordinator of football officials overturns the targeting foul, the player will not have to sit out the next game.

The baseline, in-game penalties remain. Players charged with targeting will be ejected for the remainder of the contest, and a 15-yard penalty will be assessed to the offending team. The NCAA implemented the targeting foul in 2008, and the ejection penalty was added in 2013. Conference offices have been allowed to appeal disqualification decisions made in the second half of games, further fueling coaches' campaign against the penalty structure.

Well, lingerie wears out over time, but the name on a building (paid for with your bucks) lasts forever. Guess it's a legacy thing. And would imagine that tOSU would want Wex's name off the buildings....

John Mobley Jr. Already Eager to Get to Work for Better Close to Next Season for Ohio State Basketball​

“It's definitely fuel to the fire, and it's going to be motivation for me every day for the summer coming up and the work I'm ready to put in to make sure we get back in this position and go further next time,” Mobley said.

Ohio State is looking to the future much faster than it wanted after making its first NCAA Tournament in four years. But with Bruce Thornton off to start his professional career after setting the school’s all-time scoring record, Mobley will be the most seasoned returning guard heading into 2026-27 for the Buckeyes. And he’s already motivated to make that year a better one.
