Well now I might have to head over and watch in person.

Saw him gives a thanks to Buddy Ryan today. He's credited Ryan with telling him to straighten up. You had to be acting ridiculous to get cut from a football team in the 80's and 90's

He was an absolute home run hire and the only guy out there at the position that could make the loss of Hartline somewhat palatable.

Davison Igbinosun Disputes Claim That He Wore Mitts in Practice to Prevent Him from Grabbing Receivers: “That’s Cap”​

Davison Igbinosun wants to set the record straight: He never wore oven mitts to prevent him from grabbing receivers in practice.

As Ohio State looked for ways to help Igbinosun cut down on penalties in 2024, then-defensive coordinator Jim Knowles told reporters that Ohio State had the cornerback wear special gloves in practice to prevent him from grabbing receivers.

“We've got to put the gloves on him so that he can't grab,” Knowles said on Oct. 29, 2024.

Four days later, Igbinosun made the signature play of his Ohio State career, stealing the ball out of Penn State receiver Harrison Wallace III’s hands for an interception in the end zone – a seven-point swing just before halftime that played a crucial role in a 20-13 road win for the Buckeyes over the third-ranked Nittany Lions.

That prompted a question at Ohio State’s press conference the following Tuesday about whether “the mitts” worked, to which Knowles replied, “Absolutely,” creating the folklore that Igbinosun wore gloves resembling kitchen equipment in practice.

Igbinosun, however, says that never actually happened.

“That's cap. That’s not true,” Igbinosun said after Wednesday’s pro day when asked if he wore “oven mitts” in practice. “I don’t know who made that up, I think it was Jim Knowles … I’ve seen that narrative, but I came back to change the narrative.”

WNBA's Connecticut Sun set to relocate to Houston following $300 million sale, per reports​

The Fertitta family has agreed to a deal to purchase the Connecticut Sun for a record-breaking $300 million and move the WNBA franchise to Houston, according to reports from Paper City Magazine and ESPN. A sale would be subject to approval by the WNBA's Board of Governors, and it was not official as of Friday evening.

If the deal is approved, the Sun would reportedly play the 2026 season in Connecticut before moving to Houston in 2027. The team is expected to play at the Toyota Center, home of the NBA's Houston Rockets, and be renamed the Houston Comets, taking on the name of the original WNBA franchise in the city, which existed from 1997 until 2008. The original Comets, led by Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes and Tina Thompson won the league's first four championships and were the first WNBA dynasty.

The last time a WNBA team was sold was in 2021, when Larry Gottesdiener led a group that bought the Atlanta Dream for under $10 million.

Just sayin': You're telling me that in just 5 years the value of an WNBA went from under $10M to $300M...

Completely agreed, Riley is going to make the jump and be one of the best LBs in the nation next year.

Ohio State is No. 1 in the initial 2026 SP+ rankings.

An advanced metric created by ESPN's Bill Connelly, SP+ is a tempo- and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency. In the preseason, Connelly uses four factors to rank teams, each weighted by its predictive power: returning production, recent history, recent recruiting and "coaching change effects."

Despite the departure of future top-10 picks Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs and Carnell Tate from the 2025 roster, Ohio State still ranks No. 1 entering 2026, possessing the No. 2 offense, No. 1 defense and No. 67 special teams. Here's a look at the complete top 10:

SP+ TOP 10
Ohio State's offense is anchored by three stars with significant production: Heisman finalist quarterback Julian Sayin, All-Big Ten running back Bo Jackson and unanimous All-American wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. The Buckeyes also return veteran pass-catcher Brandon Inniss and one of the most experienced offensive lines in college football, with Austin Siereveld, Luke Montgomery, Carson Hinzman and Phillip Daniels.

The Buckeyes' defense lost almost all of its production from last season. Reese, Styles and Downs are off to the NFL, as are Kayden McDonald, Caden Curry, Davison Igbinosun and Lorenzo Styles Jr. Still, Matt Patricia's defense ranks No. 1 in SP+ — and by a wide margin. Ohio State’s 8.8 defensive rating is 3.7 points better than No. 2 LSU’s 12.5, indicating Connelly's metrics believe in transfer additions like defensive tackles James Smith and John Walker, linebacker Christian Alliegro and defensive backs Earl Little Jr. and Terry Moore, among others.

Ohio State has been pretty straightforward in complying with the SCOTUS decision on affirmative action. I'd be shocked if they were trying to get around it. What this probably is is the DOJ acting on complaints from white applicants who were rejected, and in their minds since there were obviously some black and brown people accepted into that class, they just couldn't conceive of the possibility that those black and brown applicants just might have been stronger.

Unless the DOJ is simply looking for sacrificial lambs (and that's a possibility) then simply comparing the application portfolio of accepted black and brown applicants to those of rejected white applicants should cover things.

I doubt OSU would act inconsistently with the SCOTUS decision either. But I also doubt that facts matter to the current leaders of the justice department with high profile cases like this one. If they send you a letter and announce it on social media, they’ve probably decided to make an example of you. I would be preparing to go to the mattresses.

I remember years past getting locked out of my car in West Lafayette at a Ohio State/Purdue game* and had to get a cop to unlock my car.

* It was the game where Mike Tomczak forgot the down and purposely threw the ball away to stop the clock on 4th down.

He used some flat rod. It looked something like this:



Seriously, does anyone know if this actually works?

To a degree. I like Joe Burrow, but I didn't need to see him win a Heisman and natty when we were robbed of a chance to stop it.

I hear you, but it wasn’t like he was going to see that same success at OSU. He may have the year after Haskins left, but that would also mean OSU misses out on Fields and has Burrow for one season.
But it did suck not getting a chance to meet him in the Nc

This is a big indictment against Tony Alford's coaching.

He's a hell of an athlete. Iron Buckeye. Tough as nails. One of the fastest guys on the team. Also competed in track and field in HS. Played some RB in HS as well. Throw him in there and see how he does.
