With Ohio State searching for bench help, Gabe Cupps came up big in Oregon
After a 72-69 loss to the No. 10 Nebraska Cornhuskers, Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler knew something had to change in regard to the bench production.

The NFL Playoffs kick off on Saturday, with 14 teams looking to earn a spot in Super Bowl LX next month.

The Buckeyes weren’t battle-tested this season; that will thankfully change in 2026
The Buckeyes weren’t ready to face either Indiana or Miami in the postseason this year. For as dominant as the Buckeyes were in the regular season, they weren’t battle-tested enough for the Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff. It showed in those two games. Ryan Day said before the season started that this was […]

Why Ohio State’s linebacker need in the transfer portal matters more than you think
As Ohio State begins reshaping its roster through the transfer portal, one under‑the‑radar but increasingly important area of need has emerged: linebacker.

Jaloni Cambridge, A’ja Wilson, and a dream come true against Illinois
It is not everyday that somebody meets a personal hero. When the rare event does happen, there is a good chance that any sort of planned speech or thank you turns into a bundle of nerves, mumbling, and tears or all three at the same time. For No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball point guard […]
