Beating Michigan since 1919.
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. While basketball has been a popular option, the men’s team has been frustrating to watch since it has missed the NCAA Tournament in […]
Welcome to college basketball season, folks. Well, let me be a little more specific — to the fans who began to pay attention to Ohio State basketball over the last few weeks because the football team has nearly a month long layoff between games, welcome to college basketball season. Ohio State is 9-3 this season, […]

Since the start of the 2022-23 NCAA women’s college basketball season, center Lauren Betts grew from a bench player for the Stanford Cardinals to an All-American with the UCLA Bruins. Stack up all the accolades thrown Betts’ way and they may be as tall as the 6-foot-7 big. On Sunday against Ohio State women’s basketball, […]
Sunday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio, No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball were the overwhelming underdogs to All-American center Lauren Betts and the No. 4 UCLA Bruins. After four quarters of Buckeye deficits and comebacks, the Bruins won the return to Big Ten play 82-75. First quarter UCLA came out of the gates like the No. […]
A conversation coming out of the Buckeyes’ Big Ten Championship loss to Indiana centered around the Buckeyes potentially being distracted by Brian Hartline taking the head coaching job at South Florida. The Buckeyes’ offense looked a step off against Indiana. They just couldn’t make that one big play to win the game, despite multiple chances […]
College football has once again returned to the virtual world in EA Sports College Football 26, allowing fans of all 134 FBS schools to take control of their favorite team. For Buckeye Nation, that means getting to dominate with one of the best rosters in the game. The game also allows us to get a […]
The nonconference schedule for No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball is mostly over, and in a big way. Sunday is the first of 17 Big Ten conference games, and it starts against the team voted to finish first in the conference in preseason voting — the No. 4 UCLA Bruins. UCLA is playing like a […]

While we are anxiously waiting for the football Buckeyes to get back on the field in the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals against No. 10 Miami on New Year’s Eve, the No. 19 OSU women’s basketball team will face a top-ranked opponent of their own to tide you over. On Sunday, Dec. 28, the Buckeyes will […]
Ohio State entered the 2025 season with few bigger returnees than junior safety Caleb Downs. Coming off a dominant 2024 campaign in which he helped anchor the Buckeyes’ national championship defense, Downs returned as one of the nation’s most elite defenders, a preseason All-American and a projected top-10 NFL Draft pick. Over the course of […]
In the remaining 18 games of the regular season for No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball, 17 are Big Ten matchups. On Sunday, arguably the toughest of the 17 games takes place in Columbus when the No. 4 UCLA Bruins come to the Schottenstein Center. Both teams return from a brief Christmas holiday break with […]
Ohio State (9-3) wrapped up 2025 with an 89-63 win over Grambling State on Tuesday afternoon, but a trend that has become rather concerning over the last several games continued against the Tigers. The Buckeyes were the fourth-best three-point shooting team in the Big Ten last season, hitting them at a 36.8% clip. During Big […]
Well, here we go. The real road to a repeat national championship begins on New Year’s Eve when the Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Miami Hurricanes in the College Football Quarterfinals at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. If it feels like January of 2003, that’s valid (if you know, you know). Unlike last year […]
Ohio State has never lacked talent at running back, but true freshmen rarely seize the job and never look back. Bo Jackson did exactly that in 2025. Entering the season in a split backfield with CJ Donaldson, Jackson steadily asserted himself with every carry, eventually emerging as the Buckeyes’ clear RB1. He currently has 168 […]
With the official signing of Legend Bey this past Monday, Ohio State finally added their last member of the 2026 class, totaling 28 players overall. A top five class nationally, the Buckeyes went on a closing stretch that is second to none and it’s certainly celebrated. From flipping players left and right to keeping Chris […]
There’s a saying that goes, “He who chases two rabbits seldom catches one.” In sports, it applies to both a team aspiring to go undefeated and winning the championship. The goal for every team going into every season should be to win a championship, but an extended undefeated streak can be a major distraction. That’s […]
Bowls ATS: 7-8 (6-7 National, 1-1 B1G – 1 games pending) Season ATS: 139-122 (71-64 National, 68-58 B1G) We are working our way through bowl season, and so far it has been a solid start. While there was some bad misses with Kennesaw State and Missouri State, there were also winners with Delaware, Washington State, […]
Brian Hartline’s departure from Ohio State leaves a significant gap. During his tenure as wide receivers coach (and most recently offensive coordinator), he helped develop a pipeline of elite pass-catching talent and guided one of the nation’s most prolific receiver rooms, including players like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jeremiah Smith, while overseeing an offense that […]

Ohio State had the week off, but the college football world didn’t slow down. The opening round of the expanded College Football Playoff delivered a mix of chaos, confirmation, and warning signs, while the Buckeyes used the pause to regroup, absorb new information, and turn their attention to a New Year’s Eve showdown with Miami. […]
After an emotionally-draining one-point loss to North Carolina in the CBS Sports Classic on Saturday afternoon, Ohio State (9-3) returned to Columbus for their final tune-up game of the non-conference slate. The Grambling State Tigers (5-7) out of the SWAC were today’s visitor, making it the second meeting ever between the two programs — Ohio […]
Much has been said about the fact that it’s entirely possible if OSU had not lost to Michigan in 2024, they may not have had the fuel they needed to go on to win a national title. Now, as they gear up for their showdown with Miami in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Eve, […]
Monday night, No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball played its fourth game in a row against a midmajor opponent. It ended at least the 2025 schedule of nonconference games, with one remaining against No. 8 TCU still to come in January, in Newark, New Jersey. A month can feel like a lifetime in a basketball […]
