How about them Miami (O) basketball team?

calibuck
Was very surprised to see my alma mater ranked inside the top 20! And with a perfect 20-0! Don't believe it's gonna last forever, but wow! Matriculated there, during the days of Freddy Foster, but gone during the Wally Szerbiak (sp?) days. Kentucky knocked them out of the Dance, by playing four guys on Wally, and one person covering the other four guys....guess no team scheduled this team as a 'body bag' game in preseason. PS, went there when we were called the Redskins....

That date places it one week later than Ohio State played its spring game in 2025, with the Buckeyes taking the field on the third Saturday of April rather than the second Saturday. The spring game will be the culmination of OSU's spring practice, which begins on March 10.

Tickets for the spring game will go on sale starting Feb. 20 at 10 a.m. through the athletics website.

Dearly Beloved,

We're gathered here today to talk about the life of BuckeyePlanet, and that's been a mighty long time.

So, some changes need to happen if we're to go forward.

First thing is, as most of you know, for many reasons, Heisman needs to move past owning BuckeyePlanet, and in most ways he will be leaving it in much better shape than he took it over, we're hosted in a new place, our software is up to date, and we've had plenty of storage for zbuck's hobbies. He deserves our thanks for everything he's done.

As a result, we needed to find a person to step forward to be the responsible individual, that person has come forward and is Mike80. Ideally the goal here is for his ownership will be administrative, pay the bills, keep the sortware going, all that stuff.

I don't have the details, but my understanding is it was a zero dollar transaction.

These things are not free, and the cost of that will need to be passed, once again, to the membership. So, we will be reverting to a donations based system. The rest of the leadership of the site is still being sorted out, but Mike80 will need help from the rest of us as well, and we'll have more to share about who and how we're going to move forward.

A note on funding the site. Again, all the details will be sorted, but one of the things we're going to take forward here is this idea that we're going to just keep a running tab on the finances of the site. It appears there will be some sorta chunk contributions from the usual folks up front (and those will all be disclosed along with everything else) but, the point of at least some of the upfront chunks will be to backstop Mike80's commitment here. Which is to say, we're just not going to put the site, or Mike in a position where we're months behind on hosting or other bills.

Said differently: Even if 5 people donate X dollars upfront and that covers us for 3 months, if no one else donates, we aren't going to beg and plead for the final 3 months. We'll phase it out knowing the funding has run out. We realistically want to secure about a year of funding to confidently plan and support the future of this site, and prove that BP has lasting power.

We'll get to that accounting of the cliff soon, but we're just not going to leave anyone holding the bag. That said, we're going to separate a lot of the decision making responsibilities and make sure multiple folks understand the budget, whatever infrastructure goals we have and regularly update everyone about what those things are and be very transparent about the situation the site is in from a financial and technology health perspective.

For the short term, much will stay the same and we'll have more info to come, including how you can support BuckeyePlanet including its expenses. Let this be the hour when we draw our swords together*


As usual, and with all my gratitude,

AKAK

P.S. If I'm the next person you hear from, something has gone terribly wrong!

*I'm blaming that on Chat GPT -- which didn't actually write any of this. You can tell, it sucks.
