Play of the Week: Bruce Thornton does it all—in one play— against Virginia
Though Ohio State didn’t come away with the win in the Nashville Hoops Showdown this weekend in Tennessee, they kept it close against the No. 15 team in the country, even without the Buckeyes’ starting guard John Mobley Jr., who was ruled out indefinitely with a hand injury. In large part, this was thanks to […]

2027 four-star OT schedules Ohio State visit
The Ohio State football team is gearing up for another busy spring. With the changing of the season quickly approaching, Ryan Day and the coaching staff will see their lives become much busier preparing the 2026 Buckeyes for the upcoming season. However, preparation will not be the only task on hand for the Ohio State […]
Ohio State will not be able to cakewalk its way in Big Ten play in 2026
Leading into the 2025 season, Ohio State’s schedule featured multiple matchups in Big Ten play perceived as marquee games. Michigan, Penn State, and Illinois. All three of those games were viewed as major games on the schedule. Those three games, though, turned out to be cakewalks for the Buckeyes. Overall, Big Ten play became a […]
3 lessons from No. 8 Ohio State women’s narrow defeat to No. 20 Maryland
Normally, Ohio State women’s basketball is the side making up double-digit deficits to surprise opponents. On Sunday, it was the other way around as a 19-point lead dwindled away over a quarter and a half to give the Buckeyes their third Big Ten loss of the season. However, there was nothing surprising about how the […]
Way too early to predict Bo Jackson’s production under Arthur Smith
When Ohio State hired Arthur Smith to replace Brian Hartline as offensive coordinator, a lot of college football writers who I respect lauded the choice. It wasn’t a name that got me excited. However, if a lot of people I respected liked the decision, I reasoned it must be a solid one. Looking a bit […]
An Ode to Iggy: Tone-setter, trash talker, National Champion
When people talk about notable Ohio State transfer portal additions, the first guys who generally come to mind are Justin Fields, Caleb Downs and Quinshon Judkins. All three players were incredibly productive with the Buckeyes, and each are among the very best to ever play their respective positions in Columbus. Both Downs and Judkins also […]
No. 8 Ohio State women lose big lead to No. 20 Maryland, fall 76-75
On Sunday on a warm winter day in Columbus, the No. 8 Ohio State women’s basketball team returned to the court for the first time in a week. It was a top-20 matchup against the No. 20 Maryland Terrapins, a side that the Buckeyes defeated handedly on Jan. 11, 2026, in College Park, Maryland. This […]
We don’t need a 24-team College Football Playoff, or any other expansion
Recently an internal Big Ten document showed what a 24-team College Football Playoff would have looked like using the rankings from the 2025 season. It’s not surprising the monsters in charge of college athletics would be considering something as heinous as expansion of the College Football Playoff. There is no reason for the playoff to […]
No. 8 Ohio State women’s basketball vs. No. 20 Maryland: Preview and prediction
On Jan. 11, 2026, Ohio State women’s basketball was the No. 19 team in the country when it traveled to College Park, Maryland to face the then No. 8 ranked Maryland Terrapins. Now, on Feb. 15, 2026, the No. 20 ranked Terps travel to Columbus to face the No. 8 Buckeyes. The rankings and results […]
Eight factors that decided the Ohio State 70-66 loss to No. 15 Virginia
The Ohio State Buckeyes (16-9) and the Virginia Cavaliers (22-4) traveled to the Music City of Nashville, Tennessee, for the Nashville Hoops Showdown. After a close battle and a back-and-forth game, the Buckeyes could not capitalize late in the game on offense and fell 70-66, falling to earn another Quad-1 victory. The main storyline coming […]

Ohio State’s safety room has answers up top, and questions everywhere else
Ohio State’s safety room is in an interesting spot right now. The starters are high level and proven, but behind them, the depth still feels like a real question mark. Caleb Downs leaving for the NFL took away the program’s ultimate eraser on the back end, but Ohio State’s portal response at the top was […]
You’re Nuts: Should Ohio State be starting Taison Chatman?
Welcome back to the “bubble boys” edition of You’re Nuts, where we discuss the Ohio State men’s basketball team and their eternal residency on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Ohio State (16-8, 8-6) eked out a win over USC (18-7, 7-7) on Wednesday night, 89-82, with Bruce Thornton scoring the Buckeyes’ final nine points. Jake Diebler’s […]
Ohio State offers 2027 RB, makes cut for a top OT
Thursday proved to be another news-filled day on the recruiting trail for Ohio State. Whether it be for new offers or top schools lists, the Buckeyes are keeping busy this offseason with the goal of adding elite talent and depth to their future rosters. Buckeyes dish out offer to a new name at RB Nine […]
Statistically speaking, Devin Royal was nearly perfect against USC. Here’s how:
Ohio State junior forward Devin Royal took a big jump from his freshman to sophomore year, nearly tripling his points, rebounds, assists, and minutes per game from one year to the next. A similar jump wasn’t expected as he shifted from his sophomore to junior season — statistically that’s just not possible — but Royal […]
The month that decides Jake Diebler and the Ohio State Buckeyes fate
Jake Diebler’s job security probably isn’t being dissected in a day to day “hot seat” way, but the math is still pretty simple. In college basketball, the fastest way to buy yourself time is to make the NCAA Tournament, and the fastest way to lose it is to miss March with a roster that should […]
Current, former Buckeyes react to local radio host suggesting Ohio State ‘needs to miss the NCAA Tournament’
For the third consecutive season, the Ohio State men’s basketball team is inching closer to March with the NCAA Tournament in its sights — but maybe not as close as they would like. The Buckeyes (16-8, 8-6) are once again entrenched on the NCAA Tournament bubble. With seven regular season games remaining, Ohio State is […]
Ohio State as WRU reinforced: Did Jaxon Smith-Njigba just settle the debate?
If the Ohio State Buckeyes needed another proof point for WRU in the NFL era, Jaxon Smith-Njigba just handed them one. In early February, he didn’t merely become another former Buckeye receiver thriving on Sundays. He became the headline, the league’s Offensive Player of the Year. Smith-Njigba posted a dominant regular season where he led […]
How Ohio State’s women’s hockey is faring at the Olympics and in the WCHA

Ohio State in prime position for two top 2027 targets
Sure, Brian Hartline may be gone, but Ohio State is not letting that impact the standards they have set at the wide receiver position. Still one of the most talented groups in the country, the on-field production will be counted on in 2026. Newly named position coach Cortez Hankton will be expected to uphold the […]
Gold, Silver, Bronze: Three top performers from Ohio State’s 89-82 win over USC
After getting shellacked by Michigan on Sunday afternoon, the Ohio State men’s basketball team (16-8, 8-6) got back on the court quickly Wednesday night, facing the USC Trojans (18-7, 7-7) in a game that had big-time NCAA Tournament implications. Entering Wednesday night’s game, Ohio State was listed as the first team out of the big […]
Off-Script Ohio: NFL hardware, hoops volatility, and an early defensive depth chart prediction
Ohio State didn’t play a snap this week, but Buckeye headlines still found the spotlight. At the NFL level, the program’s influence was impossible to ignore.

Ohio State women and the toughest road ahead in the Big Ten
