Silver Bullets Podcast: Cotton Bowl rewind and Buckeyes in the transfer portal
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 lands transfer tight end, set to host big-time defensive end
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 […]
Moments that mattered: Ohio State flinches in final minutes, falls to No. 10 Nebraska, 72-69
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 […]
The trajectory of Ohio State women’s basketball in March Madness
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 […]
Chance Gray adapts Sunday and makes the difference for Ohio State women over Rutgers
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 […]
Beyond the Box Score: Ohio State’s New Year’s Eve curse continues
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 […]
Lots of Buckeyes hitting the portal, who (if anyone) will replace them?

Ohio State cannot afford another bargain bin transfer portal class
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 dispatch Rutgers inside, win 71-49
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 […]
The Buckeyes were humbled on New Year’s Eve. Can they learn from it and adjust?
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. […]
Ohio State women’s basketball welcomes Rutgers after blown Big Ten lead
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 […]
Can Cortez Hankton keep the WRU tradition alive at Ohio State?
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, […]
Ryan Day doesn’t care about special teams, and it is holding Ohio State back
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 […]
Ohio State women have space to grow, and thrive, inside the paint with Kylee Kitts
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 […]
Ohio State getting right to it with bringing players in as they look to navigate the transfer portal
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, […]
You’re Nuts: How will Ohio State men fare in January?
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 — […]
Grumpy Old Buckeye: An autopsy of Ohio State’s 24-14 loss to Miami
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 […]
Even on the road, a loss to Rutgers Friday night would be disastrous for Ohio State
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 […]
Brian Daboll could be the perfect offensive coordinator for Ohio State
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 […]

Report Card: Jeremiah Smith, Caleb Downs ace the Cotton Bowl while the offensive line struggles
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 […]
Play of the Game: In a lackluster outing for the Buckeyes, Jeremiah Smith still manages to shine
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 […]
