One more win and Jake Diebler should have his team dancing, and the word “interim” dropped from his title.

Look, we get it. Your days are busy and you don’t have time to read all of the stories and tweets from the three dozen websites dedicated to covering Ohio State athletics, or the 237 Buckeye beat writers churning out hot takes and #content on a daily basis. But that’s ok, that’s what your friends at Land-Grant Holy Land are here for.

Monday through Friday, we’ll be collecting all of the articles, tweets, features, interviews, videos, podcasts, memes, photos, and whatever else we stumble across on the interwebz and putting them in our daily “Why is this News?” article. That way, you’ll have a one-stop shop for all of the most important Buckeye news, jokes, and analysis.

You’re welcome!

When everyone signs on to new CFP deal tomorrow, worth noting that the Big Ten/SEC will achieve one of their main goals — their revenue distribution will be clearly different & greater than that of the Big 12/ACC. Further stratification.
