Beating Michigan since 1919.
CJ Donaldson Jr. arrived in Columbus with a resume built on power, contact balance, and the production of a lead back. At West Virginia in 2024 he carried that workload, finishing the season as the Mountaineers’ primary rusher with 163 carries for 734 yards and 11 rushing touchdowns. In 2025, after moving to Ohio State, […]
As quickly as No. 21 Ohio State women’s basketball’s Big Ten season arrived, it was gone. The randomly placed first weekend of the conference season is behind the Buckeyes. So, it is back to nonconference warmup matchups, at least on paper. It begins Thursday against the Northern Kentucky Norse of the Horizon League. What the […]

There’s truly never a down time in college football. With the news coming yesterday of Michigan’s program now needing a new leader, the coaching carousel is more wild than ever before. Without throwing shade and going into the details in Ann Arbor, it does make you thankful for the current leadership at Ohio State. Nobody […]
In 18 days, No. 21 Ohio State women’s basketball welcomes the No. 4 UCLA Bruins to the Schottenstein Center. That game ushers in the full Big Ten schedule and features the unanimous Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year, center Lauren Betts. Last season, at the semifinal of the Big Ten Tournament, the Bruins ran […]

When you are a fan of an elite program, you have a lot of resources to acquire knowledge. You also have a thorough understanding of what makes an elite program, […]

Max Klare arrived in Columbus with clear credentials and immediate expectations. The 6-foot-5, 243 pound tight end transferred to Ohio State in December 2024 after a breakout season at Purdue, where he led the Boilermakers with 51 catches for 685 yards and four touchdowns. Klare’s move to the Buckeyes was one of the larger portal […]

The Ohio State Buckeyes (7-2, 1-1) welcomed the No. 13 Illinois Fighting Illini (7-2, 1-0) to Columbus for an important early conference matchup. In a game that relied on offense from the jump, Illinois came away with an 88-80 win. The Buckeyes were coming off an 86-82 win at Northwestern to open conference play, while […]
Accolades matter in the world of college football. There’s no way around this. For fans, they’re how we dole out bragging rights. Beating our rivals, winning the conference, and winning bowl games or national championships all factor into how much trash you get to talk about a season. Even in Ohio State’s 2024 national championship […]
Ohio State’s lack of execution and creativity led to the downfall of the offense against Indiana in Saturday’s Big Ten Championship. Winning the conference title for the first time since 2020 was the last monkey that Ryan Day was hoping to get off of his back to cap a remarkable one-year run. However, the Buckeyes […]
The numbers: Smith’s historic start As of Dec. 8, 2025, Jeremiah Smith’s career totals of 156 receptions, 2,401 receiving yards and 26 touchdowns at Ohio State have him positioned to rewrite the Buckeye record book faster than anyone expected. Those numbers already place him on an all-time trajectory, and they put him remarkably close to […]
A week after we praised Ohio State for being Ohio State in The Game, the Buckeyes decided to play very unlike themselves in a 13-10 Big Ten championship game loss to Indiana. The defense did well to hold the Hoosiers’ high-powered offense to 13 points despite Kenyatta Jackson being tackled seemingly on every play, but […]
Ohio State is now 12-1 following a defeat in the Big Ten Championship to the nation’s top team, Indiana. The 13-10 defeat feels eerily similar to last year’s loss to Michigan late in the season with the same final score. The hope, as said by Ryan Day following the game, is that this loss can […]
Ohio State entered the Big Ten Championship with momentum and a chance to solidify the top seed in the College Football Playoff, but a 13–10 loss to Indiana exposed familiar issues that resurfaced at the worst possible time. In a game defined by defense, field position, and missed offensive opportunities, the Buckeyes struggled to generate […]
The first weekend of Big Ten women’s basketball is in the books, and it featured a wide range of results. A 48-point blowout for the No. 6 Michigan Wolverines over the Purdue Boilermakers, a shocking 78-64 home win for the Wisconsin Badgers over then No. 20 Michigan State, and a double-overtime thriller where the Minnesota […]
Ohio State (12-1, 9-1) suffered its first loss of the season Saturday night in the Big Ten Championship, as Indiana (13-0, 10-0) defeated the Buckeyes 13-10 behind a second half touchdown from Fernando Mendoza to Elijah Sarratt. As the Buckeyes now turn their attention to the College Football Playoff and the winner of Texas A&M […]
Ohio State’s undefeated season is over, and the 2025 Buckeyes will have to settle for competing for a national championship after missing out on the conference one. The defense was incredible again in holding Indiana to 13 points, but the offense let the team down with repeated struggles in the red zone and on third […]
Look, we all know Saturday night didn’t go the way we wanted to, but sometimes you have to give credit where credit is due. Indiana is really good, and Curt Cignetti is on an absolute heater. Who would have thought we would have said that Ohio State left the door open for Indiana in the […]

Ohio State’s last Heisman winner was Troy Smith, who won the trophy following the 2006 season, and it will almost certainly remain that way this year. That 19-year drought has been one of the few blemishes on an otherwise elite program resume, and it is now stretching into a new era as the 2025 race […]
I was high above Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday night in the pressbox for the Hoosiers’ heavyweight 13-10 win over Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game. When I woke up on Sunday morning, I was disappointed, but I also realized that our beloved Buckeyes got beaten by the better team on the night, […]
Last week, No. 23 Ohio State women’s basketball (7-1, 1-0) dispatched the Niagara Purple Eagles with a 98-point rout. On Sunday, it was a different story with the first Big Ten game of the season, and it began against the Northwestern Wildcats (6-3, 0-1). After Ohio State went down six points after one quarter, 22 […]
The College Football Playoff field was revealed on Sunday afternoon. While there were a couple surprises when it comes to who made it and who didn’t, Ohio State’s road to back-to-back titles went about as expected after the Buckeyes lost to Indiana 13-10 on Saturday night in the Big Ten Championship Game. So what stands […]
