Beating Michigan since 1919.
The buildup this week to No. 1 Ohio State playing Penn State is not what it has been in previous seasons, for obvious reasons. Penn State is 3-4 and 0-4 in Big Ten play, and they have already fired head coach James Franklin after three straight losses to Oregon, UCLA, and Northwestern. In their first […]
In an age of coaching turnover, booster collectives and headline-grabbing NIL deals, Ohio State is quietly winning a different sort of recruiting battle: the argument for steadiness.

I have been a long-time James Franklin skeptic in that, while he was Penn State’s head coach, no matter how good the Nittany Lions were in any given year, I could go into Ohio State’s matchup with them with a certain level of confidence. I guess by that metric, a more accurate label for myself […]
Ohio State and Penn State have played football every year since 1993, when the Nittany Lions joined the Big Ten.

Last season was the final campaign before revenue sharing started to make its mark in college basketball. For Ohio State women’s basketball, that meant possibly a final season with nearly 15 players on its roster. On the 14-player roster, four players did not play a minute and earned redshirt status.

Ohio State is still 7-0 following the bye week and is now preparing to host Penn State this weekend. A game that looked to be one of the most challenging on Ohio State’s schedule at the start of the year has certainly lost some of its flair with Penn State’s disappointing season. However, do not […]

It was a late October day in Columbus, Ohio. Clouds sprinkled across the sky and the sun made the 50 degrees Fahrenheit day a prototypical autumn afternoon in the midwest. It was the kind of day where a hoodie and jeans felt perfect. Locals knew it was a “false fall” kind of day that should […]
