Bumping this because we’re in the homestretch of another season of this silly game and lagging way behind scUM in player count. They have 1,117 players, we only have 625 with about a week left. If you have a Reddit account and a minute each night to spare to hit a button, come help us make sure scUM doesn’t win! Despite the player disparity, tOSU is in 2nd place, but we definitely need more help since the scUM team uses MGo, and that’s a massive user base for them to pull from.

If you want to “play” and help the good guys win back to back championships (we won season 2, this is 3), simply visit the below link, login via Reddit, and then click on any blue territory that also borders a gray territory (ours) to attack scUM. If you want to get orders and play after tonight, our Reddit orders bots will automatically send you a territory to attack/defend via Reddit messages each afternoon. There’s a roll tonight at 10:30pm eastern, and then Sunday is an off day, returning to action on Monday.

The place I would fault coach is not amping up his energy and getting in their asses for playing dogshit Defense. He's just too nice most of the time. Be nice when you are trying to get their Offensive confidence but be a sonofabitch when you need them to play defense like their lives depend on it. They lost that game in the first 15 minutes. I dont give a shit if you can't hit the broad side of a barn you can still play defense if you have two arms and two legs.

Unfortunately it's why I watch basically no basketball at all anymore other than Buckeye and Cavalier games because it's all a look at me Offensive game now and I hate it.

Now that I got that out of my system, was great to see Gene getting some boards and scoring. He needs to be the lockdown guy on D but turning that into Offense is where he can really make an impact. The team kept battling but they hurt themselves too much early on. Let's get a few wins in the tournament and see what this team might be next year.

Well, guess I'll have to watch this on the DVR. I'm a dirty liar on here - I've been watching every game even though the season was lost long ago But at least we're not quitting, glad to see this result.

Black History Month: Football player had higher calling than just ‘phys ed’​

FEBRUARY 27, 2013

William Bell

William “Big Bill” Bell was a standout tackle for the OSU football team, but his academic career off the field far outshone his performance on it.

Bell played for the Buckeyes from 1929 through 1931, and earned All Big Ten and Honorable Mention All-American honors his final season. But football wasn’t his only activity: He was a member, and Sergeant of Arms, for the African-American social fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, and he was a member of Varsity “O,” the Collegiate Council, and the Interracial Council.

His senior year, the Upper Class Cabinet of the OSU chapter of the YMCA tapped Bell to lead a new committee on interracial relations. In doing so, the Cabinet’s president, Wallace Hall, revived a then-dormant policy of allowing African-American members to become a member. In a Lantern article about Bell’s appointment, Hall said “Bell is a good worker, and I see no reason he should not be a member of the cabinet.”



Bell was named Interracial Chairman of the Upper Class Cabinet, 1931 Makio

After graduating in June 1932, Bell began a long career coaching football at historically African-American colleges, including Claflin College in South Carolina, Florida A&M University, Howard University and finally North Carolina A&T State University. Bell worked more than 20 years at North Carolina A&T in a number of capacities, including athletic director and professor of physical education. (Along the way, Bell received his master’s degree in physical education and his PhD in physical education from Ohio State, in 1937 and 1960, respectively.)

After organizing physical education departments at several universities, Bell ended his career as athletic director of Fayetteville (Alabama) State University where he assisted in the development of Fayetteville’s National Youth Sports Program, a summer organization for disadvantaged youths.

He died at the age of 81 in 1981 in Fayetteville. In Bell’s obituary, a former student of Bell’s at North Carolina said Bell “never said ’phys. ed.’ He always said ‘health and physical education.’ He wanted it to be a profession.”

My bad. I have been on a lot of drugs for infection this week. If I flubbed it thanks for deleting it.

I would also like to add, that Bowen’s isn’t a big bruising RB solely. He also clocked a 10.9 in the 100m(top 5 fastest in the state of FL)

They fucked Coryell for decades, then decided to put him in after he died. The voters are not only cluelessly incompetent in many cases, they are also cruel.

Post your favorite Spotify (or other streaming service) playlists here, whether you or someone else made them.

Here's one that I made called "Hardcore Garage". As I said in the description, it is "•Garage•Punk•Trash• •Fuzz•Psyche•Noise• Hi-energy, lo-fidelity, authentic Rock'N'Roll". Bascially, it is the "rock" end of the "punk" spectrum (Stooges, Saints, Dead Boys, Joneses, Crime), the "punk" end of the "garage" spectrum (Caesars, Cynics, Stems, Baby Woodrose), with lots of glorious "noise" tossed into the mix (Schizophonics and a bunch of band you've never heard of) . Plus quite a few post-grunge punk-garage-blues-altrock things. At least 22 countries represented, with several Ohio bands (Dead Boys, Gaunt, Electric Eels, Pagans, Mirrors, Human Switchboard, to name a few). Take a listen, give a "like" and a "follow" and I'll do the same for any playlist that you post here....

I was shocked to realize that was that early in the game. It felt like it was late in the 4th.

Same here, could have sworn it was in the 4th. But then again, I have purposefully avoided watching that play again since that game...that play stung about more than any I can remember or is right up there.

Didn’t watch one second of this game. I was totally confident they were going to lose. This team has quit and the coach has 0 idea how to fix it. They may not win another game. Unacceptable

enjoy

because like all current and former Cleveland Browns fans your masochist

Never got to see the hitter he showed at USC sadly. Sounds like injuries did a number on him during his time here

Having worked with a worked with a number of Mexican nationals we exchange jokes about one and another. My favorite one to tell them is "Why doesn't Mexico ever win gold medals in the Olympics? Because all of their best runners, jumpers and swimmers are already in the US" The best one I've heard about Americans goes something like this. "A Mexican and a gringo were duck hunting along the border. They both shoot at the same duck and it falls right on the borderline. The Mexican tells the gringo, "it could have been either one of this. How about we do this, we kick each other in the butt and whoever can stand the most kicks gets to keep the duck" The gringo agrees and the Mexican says "I'll go first" and proceeds to start kick the gringo in the butt. After about 100 kicks the gringo says "ya, ya, that's enough! Ok now it's my turn to kick you" and the Mexicans says "No, it's ok, you can keep it"

Ohio State lands No. 10 transfer player, Ole Miss cornerback Davison Igbinosum

Davison Igbinosum | 247Sports

The Buckeyes picked up a welcome addition to what looked to be an inexperienced secondary on Tuesday.

The Buckeyes got a much-needed spark in the defensive secondary on Tuesday as they dipped into the transfer portal for their latest addition to Jim Knowles' unit. Plus, an in-state offensive lineman lands an offer from Ohio State as the home-grown talent continues to feel like more of a priority moving forward.

Ohio State lands transfer CB​

After kicking off the new year by securing a transfer pledge from former Syracuse safety Ja’Had Carter, the Buckeyes watched January come to a close by ending the month similarly to how it began. On Tuesday, Ohio State landed a commitment from now-former Ole Miss cornerback Davison Igbinosum.

Igbinosum, a freshman all-American with the Rebels, is currently graded as the No. 10 ranked transfer in the country. The addition of Igbinosum and Carter provides a much-needed boost to a secondary that hasn’t been up to the standards in Columbus combined with a few departures among the group.

The New Jersey native originally picked Ole Miss out of high school despite offers from Notre Dame, Tennessee, and more. But this go-around, Igbinosum was being courted by Michigan, Tennessee, and UCLA before ultimately deciding on the Buckeyes yesterday.

The newest Buckeye briefly caught up with On3’s Hayes Fawcett to discuss what led him to Ohio State.

“I’ve been an Ohio State fan my entire life and everything worked out in my favor to get there. They have a history of producing 1st round cornerbacks and I want to be next. Another huge reason is their receiving core, they’re the best wideouts in college football and competing against the best everyday will only make me better.”

Igbinosun recorded 37 tackles and five pass deflections in 13 games this season for Ole Miss. He will have three years of eligibility left with the Buckeyes.

Buckeyes offer Nave​

As Ohio State adjusts to the new wave of recruiting in the NIL era, it seems that there has been an added emphasis on securing the top talent in their backyard. A flurry of offers has gone out to numerous Ohio kids in the month and Tuesday was no different.

Marc Nave, a 2024 three-star interior offensive lineman from Central Catholic (OH), was the latest in-state prospect to land that coveted offer from the Buckeyes.

WOW!! I am extremely blessed to be offered my 18th division 1 scholarship to THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY! AGTG! #Gobucks pic.twitter.com/jdcqIaQXXW

Nave is 6-foot-5, 315-pounder who has already garnered offers from Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Pittsburgh, and more. The Toledo native has yet to receive a 247Sports Composite ranking due to the lack of rankings elsewhere. However, 247Sports by themselves grade Nave as the 37th highest-graded interior offensive lineman and a top 25 prospect from Ohio.

Quick Hits​

According to Eleven Warriors, 2025 four-star running back Gideon Davidson of Liberty Christian Academy (VA) is planning to camp at Ohio State in June. The 6-foot-0, 193-pounder is currently graded as the top running back in the class and the No. 1 player from Virginia.

After a visit with the Buckeyes last week, 2025 athlete Dante McClellan of McKinley (OH) caught up with Garrick Hodge of Eleven Warriors where he revealed that an offer from the program “would be big time.” “I always watched them as a kid growing up in Canton, Columbus isn’t too far. Being home and playing where my family could come see me with no problem (would be great).”
