Beating Michigan since 1919.
College football has changed significantly over the last two decades. On one level, the postseason evolved from the BCS to the four-team College Football Playoff and, now, a 12-team College Football Playoff. Then, of course, there’s the advent of the transfer portal and NIL. That has changed the sport dramatically. But aside from those two […]
Between No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball and Illinois are 26 players, split 11 for the Buckeyes and 15 for the Illini. There are only six total upperclassmen across the two programs. For the past three seasons, both the Scarlet and Gray and the Orange and Blue have had key seniors leading the teams to […]

Ohio State’s season came to an abrupt end on New Year’s Eve with a 24–14 loss to Miami, a game that felt over long before the final whistle for some fans. From the opening drive, Miami’s defensive line overwhelmed the Buckeyes, collapsing the pocket and erasing any chance of offensive rhythm. Julian Sayin showed flashes […]
Ohio State’s football season was eventually going to end. Unfortunately, the 2025 season ended about three weeks earlier than Buckeye Nation would have preferred it to. Last season, Ohio State won the national championship in the middle of January, and with the title celebration coming about a week later, Buckeye fans didn’t have to find […]
For the past three seasons, Illinois women’s basketball featured a group of role players known throughout the Big Ten. Forward Kendall Bostic played a traditional big role inside and averaged a double-double. Guards Makira Cook, Adalia McKenzie, and especially Genesis Bryant patrolled the perimeter, found open teammates, and created big offensive moments. After the 2024-25 […]
It took me longer than a lot of Buckeye fans to get on the “Ohio State is going to repeat because almost everyone else is mediocre” train this season, not because I disagreed that most teams in the pool were mediocre this year (aside from Indiana, I still feel that to be true), but because […]
The transfer portal has become less about patching holes and more about taking calculated swings that can alter a program’s trajectory. Ohio State has never been shy about recruiting at an elite level, but in the modern era, championship margins are often decided by a handful of portal additions who fit both scheme and culture. […]

What began as a promising 2025 Ohio State football season and morphed into an apparent historic one came crashing to earth with back-to-back losses and a suddently completely overmatched offensive line. Julian Sayin spent his second straight game spending more time looking at guys trying to sack him than his options downfield. The Buckeyes started […]
Ohio State’s 2025-26 season has come to a close after an unfortunate short-lived run in the College Football Playoffs. The Buckeyes couldn’t get things going offensively, and lost to Miami following a round one bye. With the early end to the season, Ohio State’s offseason has an early beginning. This extra time could be crucial […]
Three days after leaving New Jersey with their second Big Ten win of the season, the Ohio State men’s basketball team (10-4, 2-2) returned home to face No. 10 Nebraska (15-0, 4-0). The Cornhuskers entered Monday night’s game at 14-0 — the best start in program history, and were looking to avenge last year’s 116-114 […]
It is halfway through the 2025-26 season for No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball, so it is time to start talking postseason. Specifically, March Madness and the Buckeyes’ place in the annual 68-team tournament. Head coach Kevin McGuff’s team has to make it like any other Division I school, meaning a Big Ten Tournament championship […]
A lot is placed on the shoulders of No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball point guard Jaloni Cambridge. The guard carries the Buckeyes on her shoulders metaphorically, but on offense, it’s literal. In 15 games, Cambridge led Ohio State in scoring in 10 of the Buckeyes’ 15 games, and Sunday was no different. The point […]
The debate over whether sports curses are real is always interesting among sports fans. As someone who grew up in Cincinnati and still lives in the Queen City, I can tell you what it was like to live through excruciating losses by the Bengals, Reds, and Bearcats. Those losses make you think the city is […]

In its quest to repeat as national champions, Ohio State added 11 players via the transfer portal prior to the 2025 season. Of that group, only three made any sort of impact on the field for the Buckeyes, and two (so far) are now back in the transfer portal again. Really only two of last […]
No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball had a challenge ahead of them on Sunday against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. As one of the taller teams in the nation, the young Buckeyes’ interior had its work cut out for it. After a back-and-forth first half, it was 40 points in the paint that helped Ohio State […]
That was a disappointing end to what should have been a run at a repeat national championship. Getting eliminated before New Year’s Day? This team? With this dominant defense and playmakers galore on offense? Not even getting to play for a spot in the national championship? How could this have happened? Ohio State got beat. […]
The Big Ten returns to Columbus for a Sunday matinee between No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. A week ago, the Buckeyes went down late against the No. 4 UCLA Bruins before falling to the West Coast side. Now, Ohio State has the chance to start a new regular season […]
Ohio State’s wide receiver room has long been one of the most prolific pipelines in college football. It is a position group that not only feeds explosive offensive production, but consistently produces NFL talent. That standard was most recently embodied and lived by Brian Hartline, who coached elite receivers such as Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, […]
In all four of Ohio State’s most recent postseason losses — among others — there has been one common denominator: missed field goals. The Buckeyes played a banger of a game against Georgia in the 2022 Peach Bowl, but CJ Stroud’s 348 passing yards and four touchdowns was all for naught when Noah Ruggles’ 50-yard […]
