The Formula: How Ohio State should start every game

Ohio State should start every game with the same intensity, tempo, and aggression they showed against UCLA.

Backcourt breakdown: John Mobley Jr. contributing to winning despite struggles

Ohio State sophomore guard John Mobley Jr. is struggling. As a freshman, Mobley averaged 13 points per game on 38.9% shooting, and 38.5% from three-point range. Head coach Jake Diebler has described him as a “hooper” several times rather than just a “shooter.” Even with that, Mobley’s most effective tool in his bag is the […]

Catch this limited-edition Jeremiah Smith bobblehead before the holidays

Is Jeremiah Smith an alien? A robot? A superhero? Some of the greatest scientific minds of this, or any, generation have been hard at work trying to answer that question, and while there has yet to be a consensus on the Ohio State wide receiver’s origins, there is one thing that is a certifiable fact: […]

Silver Bullets Podcast: UCLA rewind, B1G results, and Rutgers preview

Ohio State was again without Carnell Tate, used Jeremiah Smith and Caleb Downs sparingly, and still beat the brakes off of UCLA at the Shoe Saturday night. Things went more or less as expected, even if Ryan Day seemed aggravated with the offense’s start to the second half. Maybe some of the mojo rubbed off […]

Support Ohio State’s Heisman contending quarterback with new ‘Super Sayin’ shirts

I know that he hasn’t yet let his team fall behind by four touchdowns and thrown multiple interceptions in the second half to build a double-digit point deficet, but, for my money, Ohio State’s Julian Sayin is still the best quarterback in college football and the most deserving candidate for the Heisman Trophy. To show […]

Grumpy Old Buckeye: Nitpicking Ohio State’s 48-10 home win over UCLA

After Ohio State’s absolute beatdown of UCLA, it would be disingenuous not to remind readers that these Grumpy Old Buckeye columns were originally created to parody the angry OSU fans who are never satisfied unless the Buckeyes beat every team by 50 on the way to an undefeated and national championship season. I may bring […]

Business is BOOOMing! Ohio State adds three new commitments

Ohio State has been on an absolute heater on the recruiting trail these past few weeks.
