If true, the beat goes on.

Although I don’t tend to like to compliment the team up north, I do think that their annual team trips are pretty cool. Before the pandemic they went overseas a lot with trips to Paris, Rome, Normandy, and South Africa. In the last couple of years they’ve stayed in the states visiting various various historical and tourist destinations.

I was wondering if Ohio State ever did anything similar as far as team activities outside of football. I remember them doing paintball last year and I think some players went on the cruise for cancer, but I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the whole team. Just curious

@Birm what are the chances that we get Tywone Malone and is it still a duo sport conversation?

Ohio State is canceling its home-and-home series with Washington in 2024 and 2025.

Couple of reasons for it, chief among them that OSU could be adding games against USC/UCLA as early as 2024 (depending on what that Big Ten schedule looks like, which we don’t have yet). OSU also only has six home games in 2023, so doing this gives them the opening to pick up another home game in 2024, which will give it eight games in The Shoe that year.

The 2024 game was scheduled to be played in Washington, and the 2025 game here. Both will be replaced on their respective schedules by OSU home games.

From Gene Smith:

“We initiated the cancellation. I have the utmost respect for the University of Washington and for Director of Athletics Jennifer Cohen, and this was a very difficult call to make. Consistent with terms of the contract, we will be responsible for the $500,000 cancellation penalty that has to be paid by February 2025. As a result of the cancellation, we will add an eighth home game for the 2024 season, affording us the opportunity to have the funding to pay the penalty and guarantee for that eighth opponent.”

So as things stand now:

2024 non-conference opponents: vs. Southern Miss, vs. Western Michigan, home opponent TBD

2025 non-conference opponents: vs.Texas, vs. UConn, home opponent TBD

history there was a leak as to where the Court is leaning regarding a ruling coming down from the Court…

Who would do such a thing?
And why?

Both are rhetorical questions…

The left is sheer evil..

Has died. Say what you want about the guy but he was truly one of a kind. Grew up watching him in Cincy.

Good. Bring him to Cleveland

Very impressive kid and athlete who I got to spend some time with at the Rivals Camp Series on Sunday.

FWIW.

Is this a done deal to OSU as a DB?
If so I wish he would have done that right after his season.

He lost a great Spring here to entrench himself in the two deep imo

Paging @Bill Landis

Holy hell that's a lot of scratch. Can't wait to see what Joe Brrrr can pull off.

I want to share this and make a comment about Bill said about Ohio State can't tout developed here and then not accept those who didn't pan out.

I disagree with that. The developed here mantra is that Ohio State developed the kids in to 1st rounder or drafted players. Once they leave the Ohio State program their job has been done, they did their part of the development. From that point on it is up to the NFL team and players them selves to build on that development they received.

Come to Ohio State and we will do everything to develop you to get to the NFL where you want to be.
