I get if the team has a policy with practice gear, but why share it with the media? Seems like something that should be shared within the team instead of making it a public embarrassment of the player.

I think he was asked about them, because their journalists were allowed in part of their practice. And in Cig fashion, he has no problem with providing what happened in his own way. Cig doesn't strike me as a guy who cares if he pisses off a star player. I honestly have no problem with it, he let Marsh know that he's not above anyone on the team. I could see someone like Saban doing the same and also providing the same response in a presser. I could see Day ripping into a player, but not giving full context or even much further info to the media. But everyone knows how Cig's personality is, so there should be no surprise that not only did he go off on the player, but he also did it publicly. Sorry, but I don't feel bad for Marsh, he's a professional athlete at this point and wanted to carry himself like he was Michael Irvin and his HC reminded him that he can act like that but he's not Jimmy Johnson, and he doesn't play that on his team

OK, besides this position:

Just curious, what other positions do you think he got because he was a dumb rich kid and/or through nepotism?

oof. that reads like a certain "kid" of Harbaugh who we all know isn't really his.

I remember when he had some sort of staff job with Urban then got let go within a year. That was a red flag.

Better self-impose a postseason ban this year just to be safe

No idea where else to put this but Buckeye sports are in a tailspin currently.

#25 Women's Lacrosse currently on BTN beating the dogshit out of Oregon at Jesse Owens field, 19-1!

Just needed some good vibes.

I just want to know had he replaced Downs sufficiently?

Four former Ohio State Buckeyes who should see time in the 2026 MLB season

Three former Buckeyes have made Opening Day rosters, while another starts the season on the IL.

Four former Ohio State Buckeyes who should see time in the 2026 MLB season​

Three former Buckeyes have made Opening Day rosters, while another starts the season on the IL.

Dominic Canzone - Seattle Mariners​

The most exciting player to come from Ohio State currently in the majors is Dominic Canzone of the Seattle Mariners. After playing a big part in helping Seattle make the playoffs for second time in the last four seasons, Canzone will likely play a bigger role for the Mariners this season.
The former Buckeye enters this season coming off an appearance for Italy in the World Baseball Classic, where he hit a home run against Brazil.

Dillon Dingler - Detroit Tigers​

Dillon Dingler started to make a name for himself in 2025. Following a 2024 campaign where he appeared in 27 games, Dingler became a starter behind the plate for Detroit. The Ohio State alum handled a pitching staff headlined by Tarik Skubal, who has now won the AL Cy Young Award in back-to-back seasons.

Ryan Feltner - Colorado Rockies​

While the Mariners and Tigers will likely be interesting watches after making the playoffs last season, the same can’t be said for the Colorado Rockies, who have lost at least 100 games in each of the last three seasons, and haven’t made the playoffs since 2018.

Zach Dezenzo - Houston Astros​

Technically Zach Dezenzo isn’t on a major league roster after he was placed on the IL on Wednesday. Had Dezenzo not suffered an elbow injury in the World Baseball Classic, he likely would have made the Opening Day roster of the Houston Astros.
Dezenzo suffered a right elbow sprain while playing for Team Italy in the WBC. In 19 at-bats in the WBC, Dezenzo hit .263.

Im sorry but this write up is lazy. How do you not mention Dingler won a freaking Gold Glove last year?

I've been impressed overall when he's came in, he had all the accolades and tools coming in but I always felt he had the drive and smarts to put it all together. I do feel like that will come to fruition this year, or I have scarlet tinted glasses on since his development is so crucial imo.

I get what he's trying to do. But until the coaches are held to the same standard, the rule would be BS

Sources: Cincinnati to hire Utah State's Calhoun as coach

Jerrod Calhoun, who has been the Bearcats' top target since the job opened, has led the Aggies to back-to-back NCAA tournaments.

Sources: Cincinnati to hire Utah State's Calhoun as coach​

Cincinnati is expected to hire Utah State's Jerrod Calhoun as its next head coach, sources told ESPN on Monday.

It marks a return home for Calhoun, an Ohio native who graduated from Cincinnati in 2004 and began his coaching career as a student assistant under Hall of Famer Bob Huggins as a senior in college.

Calhoun just led Utah State to the second round of the NCAA tournament, beating Villanova before falling to Arizona on Sunday night.

Utah State officials have been notified of his departure to Cincinnati, sources told ESPN, and per his contract, the school will be owed nearly $3.9 million, which it plans to use for potential candidates and the NIL pool for next season.

In two years at Utah State, Calhoun went 55-15, leading the Aggies to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances and a sweep of the Mountain West regular-season and conference tournament championships this season.

After two bad hires, maybe third time’s the charm.

The SuperSonics are (likely) coming back: How Seattle retained name, history while waiting for NBA's return​

Seattle is one step closer to an NBA expansion franchise and a revival of the SuperSonics name​

The NBA on Wednesday took another step toward returning to Seattle after a 20-year absence.

The board of governors unanimously approved a vote that will allow the league to begin accepting bids on two new franchises -- one in Seattle and one in Las Vegas -- with the expected price for the new teams expected to be between $7 billion and $10 billion.

While there are still a few stages left before anything is finalized, the NBA appears to want to move quickly on expansion. The 2028-29 season is the reported target date for when the new franchises would begin play, as both Las Vegas and Seattle have the arena infrastructure in place to help expedite the process.

Not to pile on, but, is his kicking the legitimate reason we aren't back- to- back- to back National Champions??

Great hire. I have no clue if it will work.

It’s been a while, but I remember giving her that shot.

For some reason, Costco was selling five pound bags of mussels for $.99 a pound yesterday. So, I had moules frites last night and a spaghetti mussel quasi-carbonara that I winged for lunch today.

The overlooked coach who could define Ohio State’s next two seasons​

With Julian Sayin’s rise to elite status and Tavien St. Clair’s development behind the scenes, Billy Fessler’s work in the quarterback room could ultimately shape Ohio State’s championship window over the next two seasons.



Ohio State’s roster is loaded, and the headlines tend to follow the stars.

Jeremiah Smith headlines one of the best receiver rooms in the country. The defense continues to reload with elite talent. Julian
Sayin has already emerged as one of the top quarterbacks in college football.

But behind all of that, one of the most important figures in the program may not take a single snap this season.

Quarterbacks coach Billy Fessler sits in a role that could quietly shape the next two years of Ohio State football. Because for all the talent on the roster, the Buckeyes’ championship ceiling will ultimately come down to quarterback development.

That starts with Sayin. In his first year as Ohio State’s starter, he produced at a high level, throwing for 3,610 yards, 32 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions while completing roughly 77 percent of his passes. Those numbers put him firmly in the national conversation and showed he can operate the offense at a high level.

But at Ohio State, production is only part of the equation. The next step is turning efficiency into dominance. That means improving pocket presence against elite pass rushes, elevating red-zone execution, and consistently making the handful of throws that decide playoff games.

The jump from very good to elite is rarely about talent. It is about refinement, decision-making, and consistency in the biggest moments. That is where Fessler’s influence becomes critical.

Fessler’s background suggests he is built for that responsibility. His experience working in multiple offensive systems and focusing on quarterback development has earned him a reputation as a detail-oriented coach who prioritizes mechanics, processing, and understanding the full structure of an offense.

At this level, every quarterback has arm talent. What separates the best is how quickly they diagnose defenses, how they handle pressure, and how consistently they execute in high-leverage situations. Fessler’s role is to sharpen those areas for Sayin, turning a highly productive quarterback into one capable of leading a championship run.

Ultimately, Ohio State’s next two seasons may hinge on what happens in the quarterback room. The Buckeyes will have the talent to compete for championships. They will have the skill players, the depth, and the defensive pieces needed to make a run.

But as always, the difference between contending and winning comes down to quarterback play. Billy Fessler may not be the most visible coach on the staff, but his impact will be felt every Saturday. If Sayin makes the leap to elite and St. Clair develops into the next answer, Ohio State’s championship window stays wide open.

If not, the margin narrows quickly.
