Former Ohio State Offensive Lineman Jonah Jackson Heading to Chicago Bears in Trade with Los Angeles Rams​

Jonah Jackson is on the move for the second offseason in a row.

After one year with the Los Angeles Rams, the former Ohio State offensive lineman is headed to the Chicago Bears following a trade between the two teams on Tuesday. The Bears sent a sixth-round pick in this year’s NFL draft to Los Angeles in exchange for Jackson.

Jackson signed a three-year, $51 million contract with the Rams last offseason as one of the top offensive linemen on the free-agent market following four years with the Detroit Lions, but his season with the Rams didn’t go as planned. Los Angeles moved Jackson to center from left guard, the position he played at Ohio State and with the Lions, but he ended up starting just four games as he missed time with a shoulder injury and was ultimately benched in favor of rookie center Beaux Limmer.

Per poster on Rivals:

Originally from Fort Wayne. Moved to Arizona after his sophomore season.

Hamiel's recruitment appears to be picking up steam. In the past week, he's received offers from Alabama, Texas and Ohio State. Two visits scheduled, Penn State and Arizona State.

Certainly looks the part of a D1 safety; big, fast and aggressive.

Kansas coach Bill Self issues statement after fans send racist and threatening messages to star Zeke Mayo​

KU suffered its third loss at home Saturday, tying for the most in a season under Self​

Kansas guard Zeke Mayo was the subject of threatening and racist messages on social media after the team's 78-73 home loss Saturday to No. 10 Texas Tech, prompting coach Bill Self to issue a late night statement requesting any criticism about the team be directed instead at him.

Mayo posted a sample of the messages on social media in screenshots in which fans called him a racial slur, made veiled threats and incited self-harm, among other things. He posted a few of the messages and also issued an apology for not playing better.

Here's what Self said in a lengthy statement posted just after midnight ET:

The game today was a very good college basketball game. We played a very good team and we got beat. We had some individuals have exceptional individual games, and we had some maybe not play up to the standard they've set for themselves. But, everyone on our team, coaches included, myself, more than anyone, had opportunities to impact the game. A play here or there, that could have been the difference in the game over the course of 40 minutes. Texas Tech made more plays than we did.
We competed. We tried. We came up short and I'm proud of their efforts and I'm also proud of their preparation to be ready for the game. We haven't had the overall year that we had hoped for ourselves, nor the year that many other people have expected, but it hasn't been from a lack of caring. I can do a lot of things better. We all could do a lot of things better. But I'll roll with these guys every day and be proud of it. Any criticism about the team should be directed at me. I'm the head coach.
I'm looking forward to seeing how we bounce back against a terrific Houston team on Monday. Then, after that game, I'll look forward to see how we respond to a terrific Arizona team on Saturday. This is the most important time of the season, and this is the time where we need to be better, but we also need to be focused on basketball and not things being said outside of basketball that have absolutely zero merit.

Mayo, KU's second-leading scorer on the season, scored just five points on 1 of 7 shooting in the loss to Texas Tech, the team's third home loss on the season. It was the third single-digit scoring effort in the last four outings for Mayo.

Smith: Claude Mpouma. Mpouma is one of the hottest prospects in the country right now. His latest offers include Ohio State, Penn State and Notre Dame. He transferred to powerhouse Mount Carmel in Chicago which will get him even more exposure as part of a loaded team. Mpouma is raw as a prospects since he hasn’t been playing football long but has all the tools to be a big-time player in college as he continues to put it all together.

Today I thought aboout you Deety. What a nice lady you were. I'll remember you forever.

That's 1 in a row. Get to 5 and we'll talk

Damn, sad to hear. He was the QB during my time at OSU. Too young.

I missed the game and accidentally saw the score, so no need to go watch this one. This one pretty much means another NIT appearance. The basketball program is definitely in a dark period and what a bummer. I usually had Bucks bball to look forward to in addition to football, but its been mostly bleak and I really don't see a light at the end of the tunnel unless we think being a borderline tourney qualifier at best and bottom of the B1G is acceptable (hint - it is not).

And I could see somebody flipping 5/6 for the first 2 rounds this year. Tennessee was 21-10 at the half and Oregon was 34-0 before the final play of the half. But at some point in the second half I felt more comfortable with Tennessee as the opponent.

Thank you BB.
I’ll give UT a little bit of flowers. You could tell Nico was overwhelmed from the jump and he was getting mauled, but he didn’t quit. Showed he had some toughness about him. Played through it no matter how bad it got.

I admire that in a kid.

I feel somehow guilty laughing at that.

I was biting the tongue on my keyboard because I read his name the exact same way lol. Marky Mark is what I read. Hoping Bowen and the new OL assistants can break us into new markets like this.

Michigan fans absolutely hate this former Ohio State basketball player​

Michigan basketball fans are not happy with how a former Ohio State basketball player has played for them.



The Ohio State basketball program had to replace several players from last year's roster. Most of that was due to players leaving in the transfer portal. They had quite a few players decide they no longer wanted to be part of the program now that Chris Holtmann was gone.

One of those players was Roddy Gayle. Gayle decided to leave once the Buckeyes brought back Meechie Johnson after he spent two years with South Carolina. He saw the logjam at guard and decided to transfer elsewhere. While Johnson has been useless, there were too many guards for Gayle's liking.

Ultimately, Gayle decided to head to Michigan. TTUN fans were gleeful to get a player who had spurned the Buckeyes. That glee has quickly turned into anger. There's not a player that has more ire directed at him from that fanbase than Gayle right now.

TTUN has had a very good season under first-year coach Dusty May, much to the chagrin of Buckeye fans. Yet, Gayle has been the weak link. He was demoted from starting early on in the season and hasn't really improved. He is shooting just 21% from behind the three-point line.

Fans have had enough of his play. He drew their ire again after TTUN lost to Michigan State on Friday night.

Perhaps Gayle should have thought twice about moving into enemy lines. Now he has both the Ohio State and Michigan fanbases hating him. At least he knows he will be going to the NCAA Tournament this year. The Buckeyes may have cost themselves a spot in the tourney after losing to Northwestern.

The Buckeyes are hoping that they can get themselves together during this final stretch of the season. TTUN is hoping that Gayle can turn around his horrid outside shooting. Either way, it seems like Gayle made perhaps the worst decision he could have possibly made.

Just sayin': You can't always believe every story that you read on the internet; however, if it true, it is kind of amusing.....

For sure, it is sad but not shocking given his health issues that forced him to stop playing looking back at this thread. Not sure if that was the cause but it really doesn't matter, RIP Donovan.

I admit I don't hardly know anything about Fessler but if the QBs think he is great and had a significant role in Stroud/Howard's progression, then I am in. Plus Day has seen his body of work and is pretty damn good at the staffing thing...and of course Day knows QB coaching better than just about anyone out there.

It also dawned on me that he had to be working with Sayin a lot and we'll have some continuity there, which will only help a new young QB. As talented as Sayin is, I am sure there will be a lot of work to do along with Fessler/Day to get ready for Week 1.

I know this dates me, but, who cares. Given that circa 1968 or so, freshmen were ineligible to play varsity, I submit that the 1968 'Super Sophs' deserve to be recognized as the best first-year players of Buckeye History. They would beat the varsity in scrimmages, and when they became eligible, they won the National Championship. About eleven or more of them started, and shone, in S&G. Don't believe the pundits even ranked recruiting classes in those days, But Rex, Zelina, Hayden, the Assassin, etc were all great that year. (yeah, I know I've forgotten some names).

We'll have to check with Michigan to see if they still have any of the practice films from '67.
