And another come from behind win in their second game yesterday. Bazzana with the big hits.

Awful Ohio State vs. Indiana noon start will end up being a blessing in disguise​

The one time we might actually be happy with a Big Noon Kickoff.

This is going to be a showdown that Ohio State and Ryan Day will have serious revenge on their minds for. You're not alone if you've circled Oct. 17 on your schedule, as the Buckeyes will travel to Indiana for a rematch of the Big Ten title game last December. We now know that contest will get started at 12 p.m., with Big Noon Kickoff on the way.

What?! Chairs have been thrown in anger, while both fanbases are annoyed beyond belief that this epic contest is going to have an early start. We get it. At the same time, could this end up being a blessing in disguise for Day and his players? Here's why this 12 p.m. kickoff is actually beneficial.

Ohio State vs. Indiana getting the Big Noon Kickoff treatment has fans on both sides annoyed​

Sure, on one hand you can make the case these two of the top teams in the country should never go to war in the opening window. However, nothing can be done if FOX prioritized making sure they had the rights for this one. On top of that, it truly could end up being a good thing for the Buckeyes.

Think about it: there's a reason so many Ohio State fans hate when this is the case for a home game, blasting it for being awful left and right. People aren't able to tailgate for as long as they want, and their day has to get started much earlier. If this was a night game or something, Hoosiers fans would be FIRED UP in the stands, after a full day of eating and drinking with their friends.

Do we really expect the same kind of energy for a noon start? Definitely not. There's no question that Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith, and others are going to benefit from the atmosphere in Bloomington not being the same as a night game showdown. Yes, it's still going to be a tough environment, no one is arguing with that.

Looked at some of the screenshots and one of the players is a QB named Diamond Satnarain at 177 pounds. Sock already sold.

Anyone have extra tickets for tomorrow's game vs Ball State (9/5/2026)? I'm in town and would love to catch a game with my brother in law. Looking for 2 tix. Can meet with cash/PayPal/venmo.

Ok that’s cool. It makes sense for them with row the boat. Not a gimmick IMO just makes sense

A bigger Braxton Miller would be sick

Sheeeeiiit, if he ends up half as good as his old man he’d be a good, starting caliber college QB.

If he’s a better passer and even close to the same kind of athlete…..it’s four hours right?

Columbus Blue Jackets, NHL reveal next step in TV, streaming plans​

More pieces to the Blue Jackets' TV puzzle were revealed Sept. 2 by the team and NHL, which will now produce local broadcasts.

More: Columbus Blue Jackets land NHL broadcast deal, leaving fans with one big question

Games will be aired on the Blue Jackets Hockey Network, which will be available through cable and satellite providers. Fans can also watch via streaming as part of an NHL multi-year, exclusive streaming agreement with Amazon's Prime Video service.

“Our priority is to make sure our fans have access to our games on television in all of the ways they have been accustomed to in the past, and this new venture ensures that will happen,” Blue Jackets senior vice president and chief operating officer Cameron Scholvin said in a statement. “Whether you have watched games through a cable or satellite provider, or on a streaming service, you will continue to be able to do so.”

The other five teams included in the NHL's agreement with Amazon are the Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, St. Louis Blues and reigning Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes. Negotiations with specific cable and satellite providers are ongoing, so details about which will carry the Blue Jackets' network will be announced later.

Those interested in streaming through Prime Video can subscribe at $19.99 per month or $99.99 annually. An Amazon account is required to subscribe, whether it's a free account or an existing Amazon Prime subscription. However, those with Amazon Prime will be charged on top of the price they're paying for that service.

That policy isn't applied equally to all six teams, though. Amazon Prime subscribers in Dallas and Anaheim will get access to their regional broadcasts without additional charges, while the Wild, Blues and Hurricanes have the same subscription requirements as the Blue Jackets.

Broadcasts on the Jackets' network will include a 30-minute pregame show, postgame show and the return of all on-air talents who did Blue Jackets games last season, including Steve Mears (play-by-play), Jody Shelley (analyst), Brian Giesenschlag (host), Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre (pre-and-postgame analyst) and Dave Maetzold (reporter/host).

The in-game broadcast will also be simulcast on radio, replacing longtime radio play-by-play announcer Bob McElligott. That move, a cost-cutting measure, was announced July 30 to the chagrin of unhappy fans who took to social media to complain.

The new plans for TV access could also rile up a fanbase that's already displeased with a turbulent offseason that has included trade speculation about Zach Werenski and Kirill Marchenko, contract negotiations that nearly went to arbitration with restricted free agents Jet Greaves and Cole Sillinger, and RFA center Adam Fantilli still needing a contract two weeks before training camp opens Sept. 16 at Nationwide Arena.

Along with the plans to show games through cable, satellite and streaming options, the Blue Jackets also plan to simulcast an undisclosed number of games on free over-the-air networks. Details on those games haven't been released.

There are also two exclusive national broadcast games that won't be shown by the Jackets' new TV network. Those games are Nov. 10 against the Florida Panthers (ESPN+/Disney+/Hulu) and April 8 against the Philadelphia Flyers (TNT).

I'm not saying Coach K is a great guy, but he's probably the wrong guy to help Kyle Singler to get through his personal problems. I wouldn't be surprised if Singler has made a number of pleas to Coach K for help & may be trying to manipulate people.

Tahj Gray told a Notre Dame reporter that Ohio State is the only school he’s visiting this fall.

Notre Dame guy trying to sell his fandumb that that is the only saturday available for Tahj to get to a gameday, but that Notre Dame is still in it. In a different interview earlier Tahj mentioned he would like to commit right after his junior season is over, if he commits by end of year I do not see him being able to visit Notre Dame. All signs point to TOSU.

Well that's good news. NJ player from a catholic school means ND is at least going to be on the list. I like where we're at here though, huge target still out there.

"I am going to go get my gun and shoot you" seems, to me, like one of those escalation phrases that are really tough to come back down from.
