De-commited from Kentucky on November 6th. He was 100% CB'ed to LSU before the Ohio State offer. Let's see if he schedules a visit to Columbus in the near future.

The Buckeyes did alright with another 3-star, late-offered CB prospect from the state of Georgia, none other than Bradley Roby (3* #49 CB, #650 national, .8653 rating).

  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.
  • Chris Holtmann and the coaching staff welcomed its first full recruiting class to campus in June. Guards Luther Muhammad and Duane Washington Jr. along with forwards Jaedon LeDee and Justin Ahrens comprise the freshman class. Fifth-year transfer Keyshawn Woods along with Florida State transfer C.J. Walker also joined the squad last summer. Woods was eligible immediately for one year after transferring from Wake Forest. Walker will sit out the 2018-19 season and will have two remaining years of eligibility beginning with the 2019-20 season.
  • The Buckeyes opened the season on the road at Cincinnati last Wednesday at renovated Fifth-Third Arena. The teams had not met in the regular season since 1921. The Buckeyes had played just once at Cincinnati. That game took place in 1920. Prior to the win last week (64-56) the teams last met in 2012, an 81-66 Ohio State win in the NCAA East Regional Semifinals in Boston.
  • Ohio State will appear on four major television networks again in 2018-19. This season marks the second year in which FOX will televise Big Ten Conference games. The Buckeyes, who have traditionally appeared on CBS, the Big Ten Network and the ESPN family of networks, will appear on FOX and/or FS1 four times this season. The first appearance will be at home Nov. 23 vs. Cleveland State at historic St. John Arena in the 2018 Buckeye Classic. (8 p.m./FS1).
  • Ohio State will play 13 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. 10 Michigan State (home/away), No. 16 Syracuse (home), No. 19 Michigan (away), No. 21 UCLA (neutral) and No. 24 Purdue (home/away). Teams receiving votes are Cincinnati (road), Indiana (road), Nebraska (road), Maryland (home/away) and Wisconsin (home).
  On the Road in Ohio-Cincinnati Opener
  Ohio State opened the 2018-19 season officially last Wednesday at Cincinnati, the first meeting against the Bearcats on either team’s campus since 1921 (Columbus/L, 33-17/Dec. 10, 1921) and the first time at Cincinnati since the 1920 season (Cincinnati/W, 35-13/Jan. 3, 1920). Ohio State is 7-4 all-time vs. the Bearcats after a hard-fought 64-56 win. Three of the last five meetings have come in the NCAA Tournament. Cincinnati defeated the Buckeyes for the national championship in both 1961 and 1962. Ohio State defeated UC in the 2006 Wooden Tradition in Indianapolis (72-50) and then most recently in the 2012 NCAA East Regional Semifinals in Boston (81-66). The last time Ohio State had opened a season on the road was during the 2016-17 season when the Buckeyes traveled to Annapolis, Maryland, to face Navy in the Veterans Classic. Ohio State won that game 78-68 Nov. 11, 2016. Ohio State and Cincinnati will open the 2019-20 season in Columbus to complete the home-and-home agreement.

Go Chaos.

Asking for a friend.

Which was the best modern Ohio State team that did not win a national championship? How would you rank some of the better ones?

I’ve listed the ones in the modern era and feel free to mention any that are not listed if you’d like.

1969 9-1 The Super Sophs were now juniors and defending national champions. You know what happened, heading for another national championship, this team would have been ranked amongst the best of all-time in college football history if not for a shocking 24-12 loss to former Ohio State assistant coach Bo Schembechler from Barberton, Ohio, and TTUN. In a run-oriented, low scoring era, this team outscored their first eight opponents by an average of 37.8 points per game and didn’t score less than 34 points on offense. All-Americans: Rex Kern, Jim Otis, Ted Provost, Jim Stillwagon, and Jack Tatum.

1970 9-1 Not as impressive statistically as the previous two seasons, all the 1970 team did was win every game in the regular season and earned a trip to the Rose Bowl only to be upset by Heisman Trophy winner Jim Plunkett and Stanford 27-17. All-Americans: Tim Anderson, John Brockington, Mike Sensibaugh, Jim Stillwagon, Jack Tatum and Jan White.

1973 10-0-1 Just one half of a football game is all that separated this group from a perfect season. Up 10-0 at halftime against TTUN, the Wolverines at home clawed back to tie the game at 10-all in a titanic struggle between Big 10 powers. Two of Ohio State’s all-time greats were on offense in Archie Griffin and John Hicks and fellow All-Americans Van DeCree and Randy Gradishar on defense. How good was this team’s defense? In the first eight games, four opponents were shutout and only two opponents reached the end zone and they outscored their first nine opponents by an average of 36.4 points per game in a run-oriented era.

1975 11-1 This team was ranked number one in early October on its way to an undefeated regular season, another Big 10 title and then suffered a shocking upset Rose Bowl loss to 11th-ranked UCLA 23-10. This team was led by Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin and fellow All-Americans: Tim Fox, Tom Skladany and Ted Smith.

1979 11-1 In Earle Bruce’s first season as head coach, the 1979 team went through the regular season undefeated and this group’s only blemish was a loss by the smallest of margins to number three-ranked USC in the Rose Bowl 17-16. All-Americans: Ken Fritz and Art Schlichter.

1996 11-1 The first of John Cooper’s teams to make this list and the Buckeyes scored at least 38 points against seven of their first nine opponents. This team’s only loss was at home 13-9 to TTUN that was ranked number 21 at the time. All-Americans: All-time College Football great Orlando Pace and Shawn Springs.

1998 11-1 This team was ranked number one at the start of the season and loaded with talent and beat every team on their schedule until a 28-point underdog Spartan team came to Columbus and upset Ohio State 28-24 in early November. The Spartans were coached by some guy named Nick Saban. All-Americans: David Boston, Damon Moore, Rob Murphy and Antoine Winfield.

2006 12-1 This team stopped being the best in the country right after Ted Ginn, Jr. took the opening kickoff of the national championship game against Florida. Up until that point, this Buckeye team was ranked number one all season long and played like it. This team was led by Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Troy Smith and All-Americans James Laurinitis and Quinn Pitcock. The Gators were coached by Ohio native Urban Meyer.

2010 12-1 The 2010 team’s only loss came in game seven in a game at Madison, Wisconsin, losing to the Badgers 31-18. After that loss, this Buckeye team ran off six straight wins ending with a Sugar Bowl win over Arkansas 31-26. All-Americans: Justin Boren, Mike Brewster, and Chimdi Chekwa.

2015 12-1 This team was looking to repeat as national champions and was loaded with future NFL talent but never seemed to play to its true potential as evidenced by mere seven-point victories over Northern Illinois and Indiana, and it caught up with them in a home loss to Sparty 17-14 on a rainy November Saturday in Columbus. The following from that team made one All-American team or another: Vonn Bell, Joey Bosa, Taylor Decker, Pat Elfein, Ezekiel Elliott, Marshon Lattimore, Darron Lee, Raekwon McMillan, and Adolphus Washington.

Cold war between OSU, Cincinnati thaws with basketball series
BySTEVE HELWAGEN 17 hours ago

College basketball fans across the state of Ohio have clamored forever for instate match-ups involving the state’s top programs.

Those fans will be thrilled to know the decades long cold war between Ohio State and Cincinnati has thawed. Those programs will square off in Wednesday’s season opener inside UC’s renovated Fifth Third Arena (6 p.m., ESPN2).

It will be the first on-campus match-up of the basketball teams from Ohio’s two largest universities since OSU hosted Cincinnati in 1921. OSU made its only all-time visit to UC in 1920.

The schools met on campus six times between 1905 and 1921. There were no meetings between the schools until 1961, when they met in the first of back-to-back national championship games.

Ohio State had won the national championship behind coach Fred Taylor and sophomores Jerry Lucas and John Havlicek in 1960. The Buckeyes were the No. 1 team going into the NCAA Tournament in each of the next two seasons. But No. 2 Cincinnati, behind coach Ed Jucker and center Paul Hogue, pulled out both victories for consecutive national titles.

UC outlasted OSU 70-65 to win the 1961 championship, which was played in Kansas City. In 1962, Cincinnati cruised to a 71-59 win in Louisville, Ky. Those two losses stand as two of the most bitter defeats in Ohio State basketball history.

For years, there were hopes that Ohio State and Cincinnati would play again. But various OSU athletic directors and coaches deflected the idea they would ever willingly play Cincinnati.

“We play a tough enough schedule in the Big Ten,” they would invariably say. “We have everything to lose and nothing to gain.”

The fires were stoked in the mid-1990s as Ohio State took a verbal commitment from Cincinnati Woodward guard Damon Flint. That recruitment went sideways, however, when one of head coach Randy Ayers’ assistants allegedly paid for Flint and his traveling companions to eat at an off-campus restaurant and also gave them OSU gym bags.

It was alleged that current Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin – then a Woodward assistant – may have been involved and/or helped report the incident to the NCAA. OSU went on probation and was ruled ineligible to sign Flint, who ultimately ended up at UC. Cronin, himself, became a video coordinator for then-head coach Bob Huggins.

The hard feelings thawed in the years that followed. The schools began playing each other regularly in football, beginning with a 1999 match-up in Columbus and a 2002 game played at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati.

An Ohio State-Cincinnati match-up seemed fait accompli in the 2002 NCAA Tournament. They were lined up to play in the NCAA Sweet 16 in Oakland. But UC was upset by Tulsa and OSU fell to Miami (Fla.) in second-round match-ups in Nashville, Tenn.....

For or against? I like having extra daylight at the end of the day

I knew that would be an easier fix. But the way our LB's fit gaps and run to the ball, isn't good. I think we can outscore Mich State, but if we don't get seriously better, scUM could really be a problem.

It’s coming In the championship gayme and Shea Patterson from my neck and MI defense looking pretty good.

MI are looking like Big 10 champs but still don’t know

HOLMES TALKS OHIO STATE OFFER

One of the best men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing died today at 96. Dwight Davis served as a bomber in WWII before his plane went down and he was captured by the Germans where he was kept as a POW.

His story is one of strength and faith. On his last night as a POW being forcibly marched north along the Baltic, he feel asleep on the beach certain that he would not live to see the morning due to the cold. In the morning, he woke under a blanket of snow that he forever believed that's God had used to save his life. He weighed 98 pounds when he was freed.

I got to hear much of his story last year when he spoke on National POW day at the Champaign Aviation Museum and it's an incredible story.

Below is a link to an interview he did with the Ohio History Connection. I haven't gotten to watch it yet, but I expect it will be much like what I heard last summer.

If you have the time, give it a watch. I can almost guarantee it will be worth it.

I know the run game is the big topic, but either miscommunication or lack of precision on routes have hurt us at critical times

If you can't at least go to Walmart and get the good stuff to give the kids, shame on you

I am looking at new wireless plans and changing carriers. Has anyone used Google Project FI? It provides access through T-Mobile, Sprint, and another small carrier, selecting whichever has the strongest signal.

I am interested in how well it really works, issues, etc.

Happy 80th anniversary of Orson Welles' War of the Worlds broadcast.

https://www.orlandosentinel.com/opi...-worlds-radio-anniversary-20181030-story.html

“Hysteria among radio listeners throughout the nation and actual panicky evacuations from sections of the New York metropolitan area resulted from a too-realistic radio broadcast last night describing a fictitious and devastating visitation of strange men from Mars,” the Associated Press reported. “Excited and weeping persons across all of the country swamped newspaper and police switchboards with the question: ‘It is true?’”
