Maybe they could talk Bruce and the E Street Band into doing a charity concert in their Stadium. Oh, wait. 52K seats isn't going to cut it.

And since I made that post, John Gibson has rounded into something like his old form.

Wouldn't shock me if they added a Dman at the deadline but the Yzerplan is coming due finally.

Ohio State basketball team has a new opponent in CBS Sports Classic​

The Ohio State basketball team will face a new opponent in a key non-conference clash that they have every year.

The Ohio State basketball program has been taking part in one of the best in-season matchups for over a decade. The CBS Sports Classic started back in 2014, and the Buckeyes have played in that event every year. It's a tournament that showcases four of the best programs in the country.

From the start, the Classic involved the Ohio State Buckeyes, UCLA, Kentucky, and North Carolina. Then, UCLA joined the Big Ten, making the potential rotation with the Buckeyes and the Bruins a conference matchup. That's something that they wanted to avoid.

Now, the CBS Sports Classic will no longer feature the Bruins. Surprisingly, they have left instead of Ohio State. There is now a Big 12 team included in the CBS Sports Classic, as Kansas will now join the rotation. That means every P4 conference is represented now.

The Ohio State basketball team will face Kansas in CBS Sports Classic​

The Jayhawks will take on the Buckeyes in next year's version of the CBS Sports Classic. Ohio State will then take on Kentucky in 2027 and UCLA in 2028. Kansas will face the Buckeyes again in 2029. Next year's version of the Classic will take place in Madison Square Garden in New York.

Horseshit. He's 5'8" at best. He can bullshit all he wants until they put his ass on scale at the combine.

you mean they paid him to throw that shit away.

Certainly don't see him getting any huge defensive stops. And sometimes see standing around, not off-ball movement. His break to the basket was certainly nice, and some deep shots were pretty, but agree that there are other skills that need honing.

Always kinda wonder how coaches utilize the 'dropping' of player rankings to motivate said players? Is it a singling out, position room generalization, or a take aside type of thing? And conversely, using a player upgrade 4* => 5*, to push/maintain the player's enthusiasm toward hard work. Certainly the coaches use comparisons "you have the same qualities as Caleb, so use them" type of pitch. The above post put these questions in my wandering mind on this Wednesday morning. Methinks that is why/how these coaches are paid seven figures to ply their trades....and yeah, I get that every kid is different, some require praise, some require kicking in the butt, etc.

Stock is up on Former Ohio State star Will Howard following just a few words from new Steelers HC Mike McCarthy​

The former Buckeye may just have a chance to take a big step forward in Year 2 in the NFL.



The Ohio State Buckeyes got Will Howard for one season to be their starting quarterback and it worked out perfectly.

There’s a chance Ohio State doesn’t win the national championship without Howard. The former Kansas State transfer was able to boost his draft stock into being a sixth-round pick.

After sitting his first year, Howard could be in the mix to compete for the job in Pittsburgh if Aaron Rodgers doesn’t return. Steelers’ new head coach Mike McCarthy just so happens to sound like a big fan of what Howard brings.

Mike McCarthy is looking forward to coaching former Buckeye Will Howard ​

“I’m really excited about Will Howard,” McCarthy said on Tuesday. “I thought he really came on there at Ohio State. I’m anxious to work with him. It would be great to have Aaron back — but Will and Mason — I’m really looking forward to getting started with those guys.”

Howard along with Mason Rudolph are the only quarterbacks under contract for 2026 in Pittsburgh. Howard did not play in 2025 and was out with a broken hand until November.

McCarthy has a track record of developing quarterbacks and that’s good news for the 6-foot-4 Howard. Some believe that Howard’s leadership and student of the game mentality can help him be a long-term backup. There are also some who think he can be a low-end starter for a team.
