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 […]
If it seems like Ohio State women’s basketball forward Kylee Kitts has not been on the court much lately, it is because she has not. In the last two Big Ten games against the No. 4 UCLA Bruins and Purdue Boilermakers, Kitts has had the fewest minutes of any starter, hitting 39 combined over the […]
With the season officially in the rearview mirror, Ohio State has wasted little time reminding everyone that the calendar never really slows down in modern college football. The Buckeyes have already seen a wave of departures as depth pieces search for expanded roles elsewhere, with James Peoples, Bryce West, Jelani Thurman, Dominic Kirks, Logan George, […]
Ah yes, January. For Ohio State fans, especially those who follow the men’s basketball team religiously, the first month of the year has become a boogeyman that they think their team just can’t seem to shake. The Buckeyes (9-3, 1-1) have nine games in January — the most of any month of the season — […]
The Cotton Bowl could hardly have failed to meet Ohio State fans’ expectations by any greater degree. The Buckeyes looked every bit the part of the team that had stagnated without a game in nearly a month, while every weakness shown against Indiana failed to improve in any way whatsoever, leading to a dismal 24-14 […]
The Ohio State men’s basketball team (9-3, 1-1) plays four of its first six Big Ten games on the road this season. The Buckeyes overcame a nine-point, second-half deficit in Evanston to defeat Northwestern 86-82 back on Dec. 6. Next week, Jake Diebler’s team will fly out to the Pacific Northwest to face Oregon and […]
Ohio State is at an inflection point offensively. The Buckeyes remain one of the most talented programs in the country, but recent postseason games, including the Miami matchup, have reinforced a familiar theme. Ohio State is not at its best when Ryan Day is forced to be both CEO head coach and primary playcaller. The […]

In a season that saw the Ohio State Buckeyes as the number one team in the country for the majority of it, the season now comes to an end in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal and a 24-14 loss to No. 10 Miami in the Cotton Bowl. The Buckeyes finish the season 0-2 after starting […]
No way to sugarcoat it, folks: The Cotton Bowl was a disastrous collapse for an Ohio State team that spent most of this season looking untouchable. For me personally, the taste of victory has been replaced by the taste of my foot in my mouth after days of talking about how Miami wouldn’t make it […]
Everyone in the world of sports media has their reasons for getting into the field. For some, it is an extension of their fandom; others want to make a name for themselves and let everyone know their feelings on a team, league, or sport. In 2021, I began covering Ohio State women’s basketball because I […]
Ohio State didn’t take the field this past weekend, but the playoff picture sharpened anyway.

There has been something different about No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball point guard Jaloni Cambridge this season. The distinction is not hard to see, but sometimes it goes unnoticed. Cambridge’s change is clear and on display in front of everyone’s faces, but not everyone has it in front of their face. The sophomore guard […]

Bowls ATS: 9-14 (8-11 National, 1-4 B1G – 4 games pending) Season ATS: 141-128 (73-67 National, 68-61 B1G) The first few games after Christmas were brutal, as I lost the first five games played against the spread. The hardest to stomach was the Rate Bowl where New Mexico lost by three points in overtime when […]

Ohio State did not put its best foot forward in the Big Ten Championship Game against Indiana. The game was there for the taking, but the Buckeyes didn’t take it. Credit to Indiana’s coaching staff to some degree, but there will also have to be improvement on Ohio State’s side after the Hoosiers put on […]
With Ohio State’s football seeing only lasting through January 19th at the latest, many people are going to be looking for other forms of entertainment once Buckeye football is in the books.
