What happened to my ¤cash?
Just finished watching the game. That team showed a lot of character to come back the way they did. Glad for all of them. Nice to see the B1G LAX trophy come to Columbus. It’s been a hot minute since they have had this kind of success.
Just keep winning this point. B1G tourney and then the NCAAs.

Buckeye For Life Myles Baliotti an Unsung Ohio State X-Factor
The Ohio State Buckeyes just won their first-ever Big Ten regular-season championship.
They’ve ascended the polls and power rankings. A look up and down their sideline reveals a line of players in scarlet and gray who have bought into individual roles as part of a team collective on both sides of the ball. The coaching staff, led by Nick Myers, has built a style and identity in that matches well with everyone.
And if you look in the team huddles during timeouts, you’ll see another key part of this Ohio State team — Myles Baliotti, a senior and the team’s student manager. Whiteboard in tow, Baliotti is always at the center of the action.
Baliotti has been part of the team for four years. He also has autism, which was first diagnosed when he was 2 years old. He grew up in New Canaan, Conn., a lacrosse hotbed for decades. As a child, he was and part of both the football and lacrosse teams in his hometown.
“My dad signed me up when I was 7 years old,” Baliotti said, “and I just kept playing from first grade, to high school, and now college.”
In Baliotti’s words, New Canaan “lives, breathes and dies” with lacrosse. He played and coached with New Canaan head coach Chip Buzzeo in high school before heading to Columbus.
“There were a lot of opportunities for me,” Baliotti said of his college selection process. “I could really grow my athletic passions, and there was a good opportunity with lacrosse for me [at Ohio State].”
Baliotti is in the Transition Options in Postsecondary Settings program, commonly known as TOPS, at Ohio State. It’s a two-to-four-year program for students with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Students take college courses, take part in social events on campus and gain work and life experience as they build toward living independently.
“There are a lot of challenges with autism, but lacrosse has helped me defy the odds. It’s helped me get where I want to be,” Baliotti said. “I was treated no differently than any other member of the team. They expected me to work just as hard, and they wanted me to contribute to the team success.”
It’s been a long road to get there. At Ohio State, Baliotti was initially connected to the program through some player relationships.
“Myles got introduced to me through Caton Johnson, and through the TOPS program, he asked to work with athletics,” said Travis Crane, Ohio State’s associate head coach who works with the defense.
Johnson was a teammate of Ryan O’Connell at North Carolina, and the O’Connells were neighbors with the Baliotti family in New Canaan.
“He really wanted to work with the team, and we said yes with open arms,” Crane said.
Myles joined the lacrosse team, but he was reserved as a freshman. He began to open up during his sophomore year when he started to get to know the players better. He spent more time around them, and he helped out more often.

Going to have to watch more OSU LAX moving forward, having quite the season. Really awesome to see Coach Myers is still at the helm, great guy. Big congrats on winning the B1G regular season title!

Yes that is correct about the native game not sure the tribe, and many people believed it to be the origin of American football but the two sports are so different now that the original ideas seem so dissimilar.

Less than you think. The number of guys who leave the team and end up on the club team will be more than happy to explain.

NU is ladies.
It’s a good possibility that it could end up with a B1G final if someone gets hot. I’d expect B1G and Ivy in the final based on numbers and seedlings.

I don't have the level of inside knowledge you'd have, but my interactions were always positive with him. Then again, I didn't play for him.
