The league is back this weekend, and I was surprised to only see one Ohio State player in the mix for the XFL. Unless I missed any others, Antwuan Jackson in Seattle will be the only representative for the Buckeyes in this new version of the spring development league.

Of course, it’s also a reminder that Ohio State generally has no trouble getting guys straight to the NFL. But I would have thought there might be more than one guy looking for a path back or to the highest level.

More thoughts here:

New Hampshire in 2027 at the Shoe, Northern Illinois visiting in 2028.

Thoughts on these additions?

A look at how five-stars in the 2021 class are performing:

I really enjoyed it at Cleveland.com

Is there a bigger piece of human garbage in professional sports?


Publicly announced Tim Wakefield's brain cancer diagnosis on his podcast, against the expressed wishes of Tim and his family.

Followed that up by espousing his Nazi beliefs online (again):








Hard to think of another person worse than this still making waves in professional sports.

I don’t remember seeing them posted?

Stroud had a nice long pass to lead the Texans down the field for a TD drive. He's been really impressive so far.

So for anyone having doubts about a crooked process during this election especially thru PA, MI, and other places. Guess what, so the Trump team just had a press conference in front of the voting place in Philly to let everyone know they received a court notice so they can observe the voting. SO GUESS WHAT, do you think the MSM would be covering this HUGE NEWS?????? Of course not, I turned on CNN, and nothing. I turned on MSNBC and nothing. Fox was the only one covering it. We all know how the media is, but this goes to show you as well for how they think overall about this country. Wouldn't you take off your glasses and blinders and REPORT NEWS. THIS IS BREAKING NEWS, AND HUGE NEWS. But because we know they hate TRUMP and want BIDEN TO win they won't cover this. Of course not, because again it's another scandal that is just outrageous and should make any AMERICAN regardless of party really UPSET about this. SMH

Five star 2023 CB Cormani McClain gives an update on recruiting, Ohio State still a wanted visit.

There are a number of videos from the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame game making the rounds. They show what's going on on the field and on the sidelines. I don't think the broadcast camera angles truly show the intensity and violence and speed that the game is played. The college game violence is not for the faint of heart. The aches and pains are a lot easier to deal with after winning. It is also a lot easier from a mental stand point.

I love that the buckeyes have a fundamentally sound defense. Seems like we could build on this with a better 3rd down package. It seems like our base defense is built to stop the run. But on 3rd and long we could get more immediate pass rush. Maybe the Jack with Melton? Maybe a dime look with Styles blitzing off the edge? Not saying we need to get crazy and go back to 6 or 7 man blitzes but maybe more creative.

Talking about that and a few other items here: https://ohiostate.rivals.com/news/r...ruitment-looking-ahead-to-in-state-2026-class

He is trying to visit for the game against Michigan State

FULL UPDATE HERE

Holy guacamole. I'm sorry to have started a thread such as this.

I just was listening to the Tim May Podcast on a separate window while doing other things, and I cannot tell you how many times that I forgot that I was listening to Matt Wilhelm talk. He's sounds EXACTLY like Doug Lesmerises. The entire way through. Close your eyes, and they are the same voice.

@AustinWard @Birm, what’s on tap for the coaching staff and the players this week? What days will they practice? When are coaches back on the road and who will they be seeing? Will you be asking Day what their priorities are and how they balance much needed rest and much needed development, at his presser today (it’s actually Monday and his presser is Tuesday but I’m trying to trick you to think I actually posted this tomorrow). 🤯 Where could I have learned such a trick?

Lastly did Marv do some ET stuff and touch his ankle to heal it? Will the Monarch actually know what to do with some downtime?

Special Teams Coordinator Parker Fleming will be attending Taylor's game on Friday and Ohio State could be on the verge of offering. He seems to have some interest in the Buckeyes.

on the OL and DL at Notre Dame?

HUGE week in college football. The kind of week college football fans dream of.

So what are you most looking forward to besides our game?

Want to see Oregon put up 70 on Colorado.
Want to see Kiffin whip Saban.
As much as I hate Ferentz would love for them to beat Penn State.
Can Schiano cook up something crazy to scare TTUN?
