2027 GA DL David "DJ" Jacobs is a Buckeye!!!

Cannot help but be amused at all those who are 'calling' for LJsr's retirement. Kinda like Rip Van Winkle? Quiet, quiet, quiet, then pow. Looks like this is going to be an Athalon's 'best DL' status in next year's annual. On the other hand, tOSU always seems to be in front with a bevy of 5*'s, and then shakes down to several, but certainly not all. However, am enamored that Day is being selective with whom he selects. Sorta like tOSU has graduated into the Alabama category? Or maybe just me and my S&G colored glasses. Nevertheless, great news on the recruiting front. OK, it's fish on, now merely gotta land them.

2027 CA DL Marcus Fakatou (Verbal Offer)

I watched his YouTube video. Maybe it was just the way that it was edited, but in the video he says something like "...I hope to continue the defensive lineman tradition here at Ohio State." Sounded like a major tell to me. He also weighed in at 264, and so I lean to thinking that he's on the defensive end path to playing time. He really looks up to J.T. Tuimoloau. So in short, I think he's ours, he'll be a D-End, and hopefully we get on the ball and find one or two big and bad D Tackles for 2027 (maybe portal?). Just my opinion.

The Ohio State University Marching Band (TBDBITL)

Login to view embedded media So, Youtube brought me to a rabbithole where I listen to some British blokes talk about their time in the US. It's not great. Not terrible. But I guess they were convinced to go see a college football game. Makes sense. They went to Oklahoma at Tennessee. That starts around 15:55 of that video. At 16:18 some nerd calls Tennessee's band "The Best Damn Band in the Land." Where did they get that?
I Googled "The Best Damn Band in the Land" and all it comes up with is Ohio State. I even Googled "The Best Damn Band in the Land Tennessee" and Google just laughed at me.
Anyway, I feel vindicated for pointing out when other people are wrong.
I don’t speak jive.

Future Football Schedules (Updated 1/20/2026)

On the topic of future schedules since UGA/FSU cancelled the home and home (series) and instead moved the game to Nashville.
I am increasingly leery of our games in 30 and 31 being moved to the Benz and the Browns new stadium.

Not that there is any appetite to do so - but money always wins in these scenarios.
My worry meter is a 6/10 right now.

Florida State Seminoles (official thread)

That's why I figured they need the ticket sales and vending. Every game we play away from Ohio Stadium we lose a crap load of money. F$U isn't a MAC school or Sun Belt, and I know comparing them to is also ridiculous but their school doesn't pay all the bills from football revenues does it? Maybe I'm just looking at every thing through first world football glasses.


They're like 200MM in the hole. They have way way way overextended themselves on upgrades to Doak and other athletic facilities.
Getting 6-8mm upfront to play in the Titans new stadium is a win for them rather than waiting two years for a potential ticket sales and/or concessions bucks.

From our perspective, we wanted the premium (heh) opponent and FSU had the leverage. Either play the game at a Neutral site or cancel it and reschedule with TAMU or Troy or some other paycheck game.
Kind of cool we get to play in the new titans stadium and Nashville is always a party.
