Yesterday, the Buckeye basketball program went east and into ACC territory when they offered Virginia native Henry Coleman (Richmond, Virginia/Trinity Episcopal). A 6-foot-6, 190 pound small forward, Coleman is a can’t

miss type of talent and lately every major basketball program is taking notice of his skills. Currently, Henry checks in as the fourth best player in Virginia for the 2020 class, the 16th best small forward, and a top 70 prospect nationally regardless of position. With a high four-star status, according to 247sports, it’s easy to see why Coleman has nearly 20 offers from the likes of Georgetown, Kansas, Virginia, Maryland, LSU and, most recently, Ohio State.

Christmas at the Hairball's (Harbaugh)

Best Buckeye
[SCENE: the Harbaugh household, Christmas morning]

JIM HARBAUGH: Merry Christmas, wife!

SARAH HARBAUGH: You can call me Sarah, Jim, we've been married for seven years.

JIM: Hey, you earned that title. Wear it with pride.

SARAH: Should we open gifts?

JIM: With persistence and vigor and an unholy passion for-

SARAH [wearily]: Jim, it's early.

JIM: [is doing pullups]

SARAH: Here, open yours.

JIM [unwrapping]: A wheelbarrow full of iron slag! I love it.

SARAH: I'm still not sure why you asked for it. That mall Santa was really put off.

JIM: I'll eat it later, thank you. Now, let's open yours!

SARAH: Oh god, there are air holes in the box, Jim, I specifically requested no more-

JIM [through a mouthful of iron slag]: OPEN IT

SARAH: Oh, well, a partridge in a pear tree. That's very traditional and literal, okay. It could've been worse, I guess.

JIM: According to Greek legend, the first partridge appeared when Daedalus threw his nephew, Perdix, off the sacred hill of Athena in a fit of jealous rage. Mindful of his fall, the bird does not build its nest in the trees, nor take lofty flights and avoids high places. I respect a blue-collar, humble bird like that. Puts in work. Focuses on the task ahead.

SARAH: And the tree?

JIM: Pearwood is a tough, stable wood that doesn't warp. Makes excellent rulers.

SARAH: Okay, well, thanks, I guess.

[the next day]

JIM: Time to open your present!

SARAH: Christmas was yesterday, Jim?

JIM: And today is a new day, where the score is 0-0 and we-

SARAH [unwrapping quickly to get it over with]: Two turtle doves. Okay.

JIM: They have a migratory range that spans from Russia to southern Africa. Merciless recruiters. Always on the move.

SARAH: Are you just pulling facts about birds from Wikipedia

[December 27th]

JIM [ringing giant bell at 5AM]: PRESENT TIME

SARAH [startled awake]: WHAT THE HELL JIM

JIM: Here, three French hens! They're natural fighters.

SARAH: Actually, French hens are an especially docile breed of chicken, and-

JIM: YEAH BUT I GAVE THESE GUYS PREWORKOUT DRINK AND TINY KNIVES, THEY'RE PRETTY PISSED

[December 28th]

JIM [blowing air horn]: CHRISTMAS WILL NEVER END HERE'S FOUR CALLING BIRDS

SARAH: I DON'T WANT ANY MORE DAMN BIRDS

JIM: I TAUGHT THREE OF THEM TO SING 'THE VICTORS'

SARAH: what about the fourth

JIM: JUDGE JUDY THEME

[December 29th]

JIM: Okay, I've listened to your complaints, and I assure you, no more birds today.

SARAH [cautiously]: what's the trick

JIM: open the box!

SARAH: oh, five golden rings! Jim, this is lovely, I'm so-

JIM [grabs box, hurls it into pond]: RINGS ARE EARNED ON THE FIELD, NOW LET'S RUN STAIRS

[December 30th]

SARAH [arms crossed in doorway, with six geese flanking her]: you son of a bitch I told you no more birds

JIM: Geese fly in formation. Few natural predators. You take thirty of them, you can rule a shopping center parking lot. No one tells them where to poop. They poop where they want.

SARAH: THESE ARE NOT ATTRIBUTES I FIND POSITIVE IN CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

[December 31st]

SARAH [getting ready to go to a party] [looks out window]: are those swans swimming in our pond new

JIM [pretending not to hear, focused on Castlevania on his Game Boy]

SARAH: I will divorce you if you get any more birds, Jim

JIM: look I bought all of the birds at once, my bird guy sells in bulk

SARAH: why do you have a bird guy

JIM [throws Game Boy against wall, storms out]: BECAUSE BO HAD A BIRD GUY

[January 1st]

JIM: Okay, I'm really done with birds.

SARAH: Our house is covered in shit, Jim. Two of the swans got into my car. Have you seen what a swan can do to the inside of a car?

JIM: Of course I have. I respect their energy. Now let's start the new year on a better note. [offers large glass of milk] It's like natural steroids!

SARAH: [peering over Jim's shoulder at eight milkmaids in the kitchen] Dammit, Jim they sell milk at the store! We don't need to run a dairy farm. And aren't you coaching a bowl today?

JIM: I trained the geese to coach in my place, I'm really focused on this gift-giving season.

Editor's note: The geese held Florida to 112 offensive yards in a 17-10 victory.

[January 2nd]

[they're both just staring, arms crossed, as nine ladies dance around their living room]

JIM: I- I'm sorry, I don't even know where I was going with this one.

[January 3rd]

[Sarah awakens to the sound of Jim running hurdling drills with ten lords in the backyard]

SARAH: he's not even pretending these are for me anymore

JIM: There's a starting cornerback in here somewhere [throwing headseat] LEAP, YOU LANDOWNING BASTARDS, LEAP

[January 4th]

[Jim bursts into bedroom with eleven bagpipers]

[the bed is already made and there's a note on it]

[January 5th]

[outside Sarah's friend Carol's house]

CAROL: Look, she says she'll talk to you, but only if [gesturing] they stay outside.

JIM [to the drumline he's hired for the day]: Alright, fellas, there's a prep DB who lives down the street, go drum outside his house until he agrees to decommit from Ohio State. I'll meet you later.

CAROL: hold on, you're not coming in my house covered in bird poop. I'll get the hose.

Lasagne Bolognese

ExpatAkronite
In light of the cottage cheese thread (on lasagne? Can't quite imagine that)...Lasagne Bolognese is my signature dish and I've been making it and tweeking it for damn near 40 years. Firstly, lasagna is singular and as the dish is layered the proper nomenclature is lasagne (layers of lasagna make a lasagne); and secondly if there is ricotta cheese involved it is a southern Italian dish (and as most Italian-americans were from the south it is easy to see why that version is so popular) and very different from the northern dish from Emilia-Romagna...which is--in the culinary world anyways--the classic recipe.

It is thin sheets of fresh pasta, besciamella (bechamel/white sauce), bolognese/ragu (meat not tomato sauce) and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (no mozz).

Mostly, my variations have been with the bolognese (tomato or no tomato). Classically, it it celery, carrot, onion and ground pork, veal, lamb with chicken livers and pancetta (sauteed in butter, maybe a splash of EVO). And nutmeg and a bay leaf or two. If i use tomatoes it is either some fresh Roma or a can of San Marzano. Simmer at least a few hours. Sometimes i let it sit in the frig overnight. Often I add red wine (not cooking if you're not drinking) and sometimes heavy cream. More often than not I just use ground pork and pancetta. i always make enough that there's some to throw over spag so we end up getting 2-3 nights of meals out of it.

Traditionally, this is one of the few pastas not prepared al dente--the thin sheets of pasta melt into the dish almost like the cheese. Since fresh pasta is a pain to make (and buying is hit or miss) i mostly use the no bake sheets as a compromise (the boiled lasagna is fine for the southern version and is what my wife will use for her spinach/ricotta lasagna. i find the no bake pasta a better compromise for fresh).

You're nonna may not think this is lasagne but in the north they would never use ricotta either--and certainly not garlic. The north and south in Italy are dramatically different.

And like a lot of things Italian/Roman it was a Greek idea anyways.8D
Salute. (grabbed the photo from epicurious--pretty close to what i generally crank out)

DECEMBER 20, 2018
NO. 15 OHIO STATE TO BATTLE UCLA SATURDAY IN CHICAGO

  • Starting Five
    • The Ohio State men’s basketball team traveled to Spain for 11 days over the summer. The Buckeyes played a total of three games, one in each stop during the trip, which began Aug. 1 with a flight to Madrid. Three days were spent in Madrid (W, 93-61 vs. Madrid Generals), Valencia (W, 95-63 vs. Valencia All-Stars) and Barcelona (W, 68-66 vs. Catalan All-Stars) before the team returned to Columbus Aug. 11. The team also experienced several cultural tours, team meals and excursions.
    • No Ohio State opponent has made more than 23 field goals this season in a game vs. the Buckeyes. Opponents are shooting 37.1 percent from the field against the Ohio State defense (231-622). Foes are connecting on just 29.7 percent from beyond the 3-point arc (71-239).
    • Ohio State is ranked No. 15/14 in the most recent Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls. The Buckeyes are 19-7 all-time when ranked in the No. 15 position and are 508-149 when ranked among the Top 25 in the AP poll. The Buckeyes were 10-5 as a ranked team in 2017-18. Ohio State was ranked No. 17 in the final game of the season vs. No. 6 Gonzaga a year ago in the NCAA Tournament (L, 90-84).
    • The Buckeyes have three wins in four tries in 2018-19 vs. teams that made the 2018 NCAA Tournament. Ohio State defeated two of those teams on the road (Cincinnati, 64-56/Creighton, 69-60) while splitting at home vs. Syracuse (L, 72-62) and Bucknell (W, 73-71). Ohio State has at least six games remaining vs. teams that made the 2018 NCAA Tournament: UCLA, Purdue (2), Michigan State (2) and Michigan
    • Ohio State will play 14 games against teams among the Associated Press Top 25 or receiving votes for Top 25 consideration. Eight of those games will be played away from Value City Arena. The Buckeyes face No. 4 Michigan (away), No. 10 Michigan State (home/away), No. 16 Wisconsin (home), No. 23 Iowa (home/away), No. 22 Indiana (away) and No. 25 Nebraska (away). Among teams receiving votes, Ohio State faces Maryland (home/away), Purdue (home/away), Minnesota (W-home), Cincinnati (W-Away).

    All Andre Wants for Christmas…
    Andre Wesson lost two of his front teeth and cracked another in a collision during the Bucknell game Dec. 15 at Value City Arena. Wesson went hard to the floor and had an opponent fall on him resulting in hard contact with the court. Wesson was whisked back to the training room by Ohio State basketball athletic trainer Jeff Deits and team physician Grant Jones. Deits, a former athletic trainer for the Ohio State men’s hockey team, issued Wesson a mouth piece that allowed him to return to the game. Wesson immediately received dental care following the game and will receive additional dental care to repair and replace the lost and damaged teeth. The last time out vs. Youngstown State, Andre’s younger brother, Kaleb, briefly left the game vs. the Penguins after getting an elbow to the face causing one of his teeth to puncture his upper lip. Deits and Dr. Jones again administered treatment, this time a lone stitch, allowing Kaleb to return to the game and ultimately score a game- and career-high 31 points.

    Early Notable Numbers
    C.J. Jackson is averaging 12.4 points a game and has the Buckeyes off to a 10-1 start … he reached 100 career 3-pointers made with three makes vs. Cleveland State (11/23/18) … for his Ohio State career he is (110-301/.365) from distance … has scored 742 career points after an 11-point effort vs. Youngstown State and is on pace to become Ohio State’s next 1,000-point scorer … Kyle Young is 32-for-46 shooting this season (.696).

    Scouting The UCLA Bruins
    UCLA enters the game vs. the Buckeyes with a 7-4 record after falling at Cincinnati Wednesday, 93-64. Kris Wilkes leads the team with 17.7 points per game. He is one of four Bruins in double figures ahead of Jaylen Hands (11.6 ppg.), Moses Brown (11.8 ppg.) and Prince Ali (10.0 ppg.). Brown is the team’s top rebound with 9.4 boards a game.

    The Ohio State vs. UCLA Series
    The Buckeyes and Bruins have meet 10 times since the first matchup Dec. 31, 1936 in Los Angeles. Ohio State won that game (48-39) and four of the first five meetings. UCLA has won the last five in the series, including an 86-73 in as part of the CBSSports Classic in 2016. That game was played in Las Vegas Dec. 17, 2016. In games played on neutral courts, UCLA is 3-1 vs. the Buckeyes.

    Ohio State vs. The Pac-12 Conference
    Ohio State is 39-38 all-time vs. the teams that currently make up the Pac-12 Conference. The Buckeyes have faced each current member of the league at least once with the exception of Colorado. California, who the Buckeyes defeated of the 1960 NCAA Title, has faced the Buckeyes the most (18 games/9-9). Ohio State is 4-6 vs. UCLA. Ohio State last faced a Pac-12 team Nov. 24, 2017 as part of the PK80 event in Portland, Oregon, when the Buckeyes knocked off Stanford, 79-71.
