Maybe alot more cheese?

Maybe don't know what to watch on TV, etc. Was in C'bus during this, and didn't have a clue it was one. Actually get the idea I get better tOSU news here on BP and other forums than do in Buckeye Town.

Ohio State football player got very honest about Ryan Day‘s NFL addition to the Buckeyes’ coaching staff​

Ryan Day made a big decision to bring Arthur Smith to Columbus, and players are speaking out on how things are going with the new hire.



Ryan Day runs the Ohio State Buckeyes football program like it’s the NFL in many ways and when you look at the coaching staff you’ll get the same feeling. After a successful year with Matt Patricia as the defensive coordinator last season, Day added an NFL offensive mind to the staff this offseason.

When Brian Hartline left for Columbus, the belief was that Day might go to the NFL to bring in a coordinator. That’s what the Buckeyes did with former Pittsburgh Steelers OC Arthur Smith, and the move has been well accepted across the board to this point.

Key Ohio State offensive player gets real about Buckeyes OC Arthur Smith​

“He’s a great coach, and just being able to listen to him and how he runs his offense and knowing that he’s been at every single level,” Roberts stated. “He’s such a smart guy that he comes over in our [drills] and teaches us and helps with our footwork and some of our routes just because he’s been through the game for so long.

“But listening to his offense and being in it for a couple of weeks now, I really enjoy it. I love it. I love his offense, and I know it’ll help me for the next level.”

Bringing in a veteran play caller allows Day to be in the CEO role, which he hasn’t been in since the 2024 national championship season. Ohio State should be able to blend together some of Smith’s run and passing concepts with the spread passing game Day has typically had. Bringing those two together should bring an explosive offense led by Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith.

Roberts’ comments show Smith has already come in and taken command of the players. When you have NFL head coaching experience and make the switch to the college level, players will naturally gravitate toward the coach. We’re talking about a team full of players at Ohio State who have aspirations of playing in the NFL.

Someone like Roberts has a chance to be the team’s top tight end with Max Klare and Will Kacmarek off to the NFL. Roberts played in 13 games as a true freshman and caught four passes for 30 yards. Ohio State went out and added Hunter Welcing and Mason Williams in the transfer portal, but Roberts is the most experienced player who returned.

Smith’s arrival has players excited to play for him, and while we don’t have a whole lot to go off of yet, the early signs are encouraging around Day’s key hire.

Now to another gem from Clark’s interview: Who is the most badass player Ryan Day has ever coached?

“It’s hard for me to say one person because there’s been a lot of tough guys,” Day said.

Still, he gave the nod to a pair of Buckeyes: offensive lineman Josh Myers (now with the New York Jets) and linebacker Tommy Eichenberg (now with the Las Vegas Raiders).

“I remember getting ready to play in the national championship game in 2020 with Josh Myers, and he had a needle about this long (holds hands up) that he shot into his foot because he had turf toe,” Day said. “He was literally biting a towel because he had to take the shot. He played that whole game with it and then later had to have surgery because he couldn’t let his brothers down.”

It's possible, but IDK. Mainly because so many parents want to live through their kids and will happily pay whatever to allow their kids to play. And coaches will continue to sell dreams to earn paychecks for themselves.

Big 12 and ACC have been pushing to expand the NCAA tournament, currently totaling 68 teams. They are apparently going to move forward after the conclusion of this year's tournament and approve an expansion to 76 teams. The new format is expected to include 24 teams in the "play-in" phase of the tournament - there were 8 before, and now the last 8 that were "in" before will be demoted to the play-in, and the 8 expansion teams will also be there. They will have 12 play-in games spread over 2 sites, Dayton being one of the two.

I haven't been on the poli board in years but I think you did have to ask for access or opt in to take part.

I saw this thread pop up and assumed he somehow still had eligibility left. You never know these days.

Gervin irked Bears' Williams filed trademark for 'Iceman'

Former NBA star George Gervin said he was "caught off guard" when he learned Bears quarterback Caleb Williams had attempted to trademark "Iceman," a nickname Gervin has used since his playing days.

Gervin irked Bears' Williams filed trademark for 'Iceman'​

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' attempt to trademark the moniker "Iceman" is facing scrutiny from a legendary NBA player who shares the same nickname.

George Gervin, the Hall of Famer and four-time NBA scoring champion, told ESPN that he was "caught off guard" when he learned that Williams had attempted to trademark "Iceman," the nickname that Williams earned during the 2025 season for his late-game performances that culminated with the Bears winning their first playoff game in 15 years.

"I've been the Iceman for 40-something years," Gervin said. "I never thought anybody would try to trademark it. He kind of knocked me out the box."

On March 16, Caleb Williams Holding Inc. filed four trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office related to the "Iceman" nickname. According to the trademark application, goods and services related to the name include athletic sporting goods and equipment, water bottles, T-shirts, sweatshirts, jerseys, hats, eyewear and downloadable posters and digital trading cards.

On March 20, Gervin Interests LLC filed two trademark applications for "Iceman" and "Iceman 44," the latter of which references the jersey number Gervin wore throughout his NBA career. In 1987, the San Antonio Spurs retired Gervin's number.

One of the biggest questions, according to trademark attorney Josh Gerben of Gerben IP, is how trademark rights are viewed. Gerben said Gervin could claim that even though he didn't file the trademark, he was using it before Williams even though Williams filed it first.

But since Williams filed his application first, the USPTO could accept Williams' application and refuse Gervin's.

OK, who is the real "ICEMAN" and should get the trademark?

Hint: It isn't Caleb Williams.....

Ryan Day Says Legend Bey Has Missed “A Couple of Practices” This Spring, Hopes to Have Him Back Soon​

“Legend has been out here for a couple of practices. Hopefully we can get him back here soon. He certainly flashed when he was in there, but making the transition from being a quarterback to playing running back is two different things, especially at Ohio State.”
