I was sitting out by the pool in St. Petersburg, Florida, this past weekend, and I thought of a solution to the transfer portal that will finally solve its out-of-control nature. It was an idea so obvious to me that I’m wondering why I didn’t come up with it before. Here’s the solution: Every athlete […]
Austin Siereveld is the most important non-skill player for Ohio State’s 2026 offense
Ohio State’s offense is built around elite skill talent, a future NFL quarterback, All-American receivers, and breakout running backs. But when you strip the layers back to what makes that offense work, it often comes down to the line that protects and propels it. And no player on that line matters more for 2026 than […]

The Big Ten 2025-26 season took another step on Tuesday when the conference announced season honors.

Ohio State can already pencil two offensive linemen into the lineup
Spring battles will define parts of Ohio State’s offensive line, especially at tackle. But two spots feel far less complicated.

For a unit that still has some […]

I’m still thinking about the Olympics. I’m filling the void with Ohio State women’s ice hockey
The Winter Olympics ended on Feb. 22, and since then, I’ve been chasing the high of having my emotional support athletes on TV round-the-clock.

3 lessons from Ohio State women’s season-finale win over No. 15 Michigan State
