Making the case for Jaylen McClain to be an All-American in 2026
The easiest way to spot a future All-American defensive back is not always by hunting for the loudest stat line. Sometimes it is by finding the player coaches trust to keep the structure intact, snap after snap, against the best offenses on the schedule. For Ohio State, that player is Jaylen McClain, and the case […]
No. 10 Ohio State women’s basketball vs. No. 23 Minnesota preview and prediction
Back on Feb. 24, 2016, Ohio State women’s basketball went to the Barn, the home of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, and lost 90-88 in overtime. That game is not important because of a key moment, even though a win would have given the Buckeyes a regular-season Big Ten title, but none of that applies in […]

You’re Nuts: Which Winter Olympics event do you wish had more Ohio State influence?

Off-Script Ohio: Five favorites from the Ryan Day Era
Ohio State did not take the field this week, and won’t for awhile, but that never really stops the conversation in Columbus.

Play of the Week: Bruce Thornton does it all—in one play— against Virginia
Though Ohio State didn’t come away with the win in the Nashville Hoops Showdown this weekend in Tennessee, they kept it close against the No. 15 team in the country, even without the Buckeyes’ starting guard John Mobley Jr., who was ruled out indefinitely with a hand injury. In large part, this was thanks to […]

Ohio State will not be able to cakewalk its way in Big Ten play in 2026
Leading into the 2025 season, Ohio State’s schedule featured multiple matchups in Big Ten play perceived as marquee games. Michigan, Penn State, and Illinois. All three of those games were viewed as major games on the schedule. Those three games, though, turned out to be cakewalks for the Buckeyes. Overall, Big Ten play became a […]
3 lessons from No. 8 Ohio State women’s narrow defeat to No. 20 Maryland
Normally, Ohio State women’s basketball is the side making up double-digit deficits to surprise opponents. On Sunday, it was the other way around as a 19-point lead dwindled away over a quarter and a half to give the Buckeyes their third Big Ten loss of the season. However, there was nothing surprising about how the […]
Way too early to predict Bo Jackson’s production under Arthur Smith
When Ohio State hired Arthur Smith to replace Brian Hartline as offensive coordinator, a lot of college football writers who I respect lauded the choice. It wasn’t a name that got me excited. However, if a lot of people I respected liked the decision, I reasoned it must be a solid one. Looking a bit […]
An Ode to Iggy: Tone-setter, trash talker, National Champion
When people talk about notable Ohio State transfer portal additions, the first guys who generally come to mind are Justin Fields, Caleb Downs and Quinshon Judkins. All three players were incredibly productive with the Buckeyes, and each are among the very best to ever play their respective positions in Columbus. Both Downs and Judkins also […]

We don’t need a 24-team College Football Playoff, or any other expansion
Recently an internal Big Ten document showed what a 24-team College Football Playoff would have looked like using the rankings from the 2025 season. It’s not surprising the monsters in charge of college athletics would be considering something as heinous as expansion of the College Football Playoff. There is no reason for the playoff to […]
No. 8 Ohio State women’s basketball vs. No. 20 Maryland: Preview and prediction
On Jan. 11, 2026, Ohio State women’s basketball was the No. 19 team in the country when it traveled to College Park, Maryland to face the then No. 8 ranked Maryland Terrapins. Now, on Feb. 15, 2026, the No. 20 ranked Terps travel to Columbus to face the No. 8 Buckeyes. The rankings and results […]
