Buckeye Spelling Bee: Test Your Spelling Skills On Ohio State’s Famous and Most Difficult Names​

Put on your thinking caps and grab your favorite drink, it’s time for a special edition of Ohio State trivia.

Last night, Faizan Zaki won the 2025 Scripps Howard Spelling Bee by correctly spelling “éclaircissement.” You know, the word of French origin you use daily that means to clear up something obscure. In honor of the kids who will never need to use their computer's spell checker, it's time to test your ability to spell the names of former Ohio State players.

There are two simple rules: Please use your brain (not a search engine) and only play once. If you need more éclaircissement, don't cheat.

Here's the first one:


The Buckeye pictured above is the only player in college football history to win the Heisman Trophy twice. How do you spell his name?

• Archie Griffon
• Archie Griffith
• Archie Griffin
• Archie Griffen

Just sayin': 60%, I can't spell worth shit, how did you do?

Heck, our backup DL coach is now the new DL coach at Texas. And, they added 5 (five) DTs from the portal. Probably just so tOSU couldn't have them.

Have done the drive you mention (though not from V-ville), several times with my lovely wife. Actually drove to Cambria for a combo wife b-day and Mom's day (got a twofer on that one), and did the up and back down Highway 1. Morro is beautiful, have camped there several times, and has some very good restaurants, and yeah, to an Ohioan, looks wonderful (and it is). Ps, in the winter, the hills are a verdant green. In the summer (with less water), they are called 'the golden hills of California'. That's while Ohio hills are lush and green. PS, you covered a heckuva lot of territory from VVille to Monterey and back in a weekend. Daughter did some swimming and water polo in Pismo, so have spent many a weekend there. Plenty to do, and usually run into a half dozen or so people from our town there. Too busy for me. PS, when we drive to Colorado, always go through the Tehachapi's out to Hwy 15 through Vegas to I-70 into Grand Junction. From where we are, the mountain passes through the Sierra Nevadas are still covered in snow through June-ish, so gotta go south, or north on the I-80. Sounds like some great memories!

Me or Tyson? (Never a question I thought I'd find myself asking, but either feels realistic in this case).

That was one of the funnier things I ever heard him say.

He was trying to say "fade into oblivion" but Mike being the man of letters that he is, he turned it into a geography mind fuck.

Anthony Morelli was so fucking bad

The hype surrounding him as a recruit is high comedy looking back at it now.

Ped State has a nice lineage of not developing QBs.

Allar was the #1 QB in his class and Hackenberg was very coveted as well (think some had him #1).

Buckeye Men Win 4x400m Relay Title on Final Day of Big Ten Championships​

The Ohio State track and field program concluded three days of competition at the 2025 Big Ten Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore. on Sunday. The Buckeyes won the men's 4x400m relay championship, had 14 personal record breaks and six top five finishes.

Sophie Bidwell had a personal record of 48.76m/160' in the women's discus throw. Carina Napoleon recorded PR's in both the women's 800m (2:07.61) and the women's 1500m (4:21.26, 13th in the prelims).

Buckeye Huddle discussion speculated that there may be an interest in coaching one day… Would explain a lot.

I saw this on the news the other day:

Runners scale the Great Wall in grueling marathon​

The Great Wall Marathon in China, which celebrated its 22nd anniversary on Saturday (May 17), saw 1,219 runners take part in one of the most challenging races of the year. The Great Wall Marathon includes about 3 to 4 miles on the Great Wall itself. The course also includes sections on the Great Wall Huangyaguan section, with 5,164 steps and 4 kilometers of uphill climb. The full marathon (26.2 miles) includes two sections on the Great Wall, while the half marathon (13.1 miles) and 8.5k fun run include one section

Just sayin':

1. Who know that there is actually a "marathon" that included 3 to 4 miles on the Great Wall?
2. Hell, I couldn't run a mile in under 6 minutes in high school. I'm not sure about traveling to China these days; however, that does look like a cool event.

Yeah not buying that. I just don't have a good feeling about this kid. No solid facts, just a feeling. I am thinking OSU will not regret missing on this one.

first year of HS ball ended for him Friday - played pretty well. He finished the year 1st in OBP, walks, and steals, 2nd in avg, 2nd in RBI's - really grew as a player quite a bit this season.

football mini camp in a few weeks, but now just morning lifting, nothing afterschool - going to be weird to have evenings back

congrats to your son!

Not like this is new news, it's called 'the world's oldest profession' for a reason. Also called a victimless crime, unless as suggested above, it's with underage (girls and boys). And, as one who has been hustled (wasn't smart enough to figure it out at the time), the 'bait' can be quite alluring.

Dropped AppleTV this past week and signed up for Max. Definitely a good decision on my part, if I do say so myself;-)

Fiesta (Glendale), Rose for the Buckeyes

Peach (old stadium in ATL) when it was a second tier kind of Bowl but not for Buckeyes.

The only Bowl I’d likely travel to again is Rose. The rest are all just meh. Glendale in particular can go fuck itself back to the hell it is a portal to. It’s fucking cursed.

Glendale is the Ross-Ade of the west. They both have GOT TO BE mass burial grounds of some sort.

Gosger fucked up my exotics. Douche
