SG Katie Smith (All B1G, B1G Champion, OSU HOF, Asst. Coach Minnesota Lynx)

When visited tOSU, got chased out of the gym when practice started. My point being, that we don't know what happens in a non-game setting. Would imagine that one coach takes the centers to one basket, forward to another, and guards to yet another to work on their skills etc. Scrimmages should be a reward, and the work-outs should make the games seem easier. Kinda why am surprised that the position coach doesn't take players aside during a TO to remind them what they need to do (in that situation or somesuch). PS, see that in football all the time, the WRs get with Hartline who goes over what needs to happen, etc. But do agree that McGuff recruits GUARDS well. Still am a tad pissed that Dorkas and the other forward both fled after a season in scarlet and gray.

WR Noah Brown (Washington Commanders)

Am thinking that while he was at tOSU, there were some superior players ahead of him. Now, at the pro level, not so much. A great testimony to Noah, certainly, but also to WRU, where the 5*s are stacked like firewood. But!. they take when they've learned here, and put it to work at other places, notably the pro level. Someone above noted his blocking skills. Well, as commonly known (?), at tOSU, a WR doesn't see the field unless they can demonstrate a downfield blocking ability. Another reason why WRs flock to Ohio State. Hartline's training (based on his real-world experiences). Anyway, don't mean to hijack, but trying to point out why Noah (and others) have continued success in the league.

LeVeon Bell (RB Pittsburgh Steelers)

Maybe make an exception for jail cells....
A fine idea. I swear that after Buster Douglas that Tyson that there was a story about the Mayor of Cincy calling the Mayor of Columbus and telling him that naming the outer belt around Columbus the James Buster Douglas Way was a bad idea… “just look at us, we have Pete Rose way…”.

B1G MBT, #10 Ohio State vs #15 Iowa, Wednesday, 12 March @ ≈ 6 PM ET, Peacock

Exactly, I mean, I don't expect next season to be any better under Jake Diebler.

I expect next season to be worse if anything. People will still make excuses for Diebler though and want to give him a 3rd season. The Athletic Department is gonna be in no hurry to make a move, Diebler is a lame duck but he's cheap and they can just keep proclaiming success because of the football program alone.

PG/SG Amedeo Della Valle (AX Armani Exchange Milano - Italy)

Former Ohio State basketball player scores his 4000th professional point

A former Ohio State basketball player has scored his 4000th professional point overseas.

The Ohio State basketball program had a lot of success during the Thad Matta era. He took the team to a national championship and multiple Final Fours. He had multiple NBA players on his teams. The Buckeyes had some of the best teams in history under Matta.

Back in Matta's era, the Buckeyes had a lot of guys play professionally. Other than the NBA guys that they had, they had plenty of other guys play overseas. Even some guys who you wouldn't think were going to be good enough to play professionally ended up playing for a salary.

One of those players is Amedo Della Valle. He played for the Ohio State Buckeyes for three years before deciding to go back home to Italy to play. He has been playing in Serie A, which is the highest level of basketball in the country. Della Valle has been playing great while over there.

Ex-Ohio State basketball player Amedo Della Valle scores his 4000th point

Della Valle recently scored his 4000th point in Serie A. He continues to play well at a high level. His high level of play is surprising, especially considering the fact that he wasn't even a normal part of the rotation for Ohio State. He has turned himself into quite the player.

Della Valle has had a lot of team success over the years. He has won a EuroCup Challenge and an LBA MVP. He has played on a lot of good teams. Della Valle clearly made the right choice to leave Ohio State early to go play professionally. He has made a lot of money.

Della Valle will keep playing as long as he can. He clearly is still good enough to play some good basketball for a few more years. He might end up being one of Matta's most successful players.

Just sayin': Possibly, however, he'll never be #1;, that distinction goes to Mike Conley, Jr.

Giovanni Strassini: A Football Fantasy

NEWS RELEASE: MAN ARRESTED FOR USING FRAUDULENT DOCUMENTS TO OBTAIN NEW HAMPSHIRE DRIVER’S LICENSE



NASHUA, N.H. – A Nashua man was arrested after attempting to obtain a New Hampshire driver’s license using fraudulent documents.



On Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025, State Troopers assigned to the Troop G barracks arrested John Daley Strothers, 65, of Nashua, after investigators received information that Strothers had submitted fraudulent documents as proof of residency to the Division of Motor Vehicles to obtain a New Hampshire driver’s license, using an identity that did not belong to him. Further investigation determined Strothers had used more than 13 different identities in several different states.



Strothers was taken into custody and charged with felony identity fraud, as well as misdemeanor counts of unsworn falsification and tampering with public records or information. He was held without bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in Concord District Court today, Feb. 13, 2025.



Troopers were assisted by members of the Nashua Police Department and Diplomatic Security. Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact Detective Christopher Prenaveau at
Again?

I am a huge fan of the Buckeyes. Also going to see them play Meeeeeechhhheeeegin on Friday , the men’s hockey game

I have personally known John for many years. A sick dude he is

no shock
Fair enough, and apologies for labelling you a non-Buckeye. Question still stands for the Giants fan, though........not that I don't appreciate the zaniness of this thread.

I interacted with him until 2010, when I cut him off. He tried making amends with me when this came out, but I said I wanted nothing to do with him.

In prison he might be signing other balls

Hopefully Sandusky’s
