Most importantly, I wanted…

M Roddy Gayle Jr. is taking on a new role at Michigan. After transferring from Ohio State with expectations of being a key starter, the junior guard is shifting to a sixth-man position as head coach Dusty May looks to shake things up. Following a stretch of inconsistent performances, May believes bringing Gayle off the bench could reignite his offensive production by allowing him to play with more freedom—something he thrived on during his time at Ohio State. Gayle started the season strong, scoring in double figures in 12 of Michigan’s first 15 games, but has struggled recently, reaching that…

Brady Smigiel, a highly rated quarterback in the 2026 recruiting class, has decided to step back from considering Ohio State after offensive coordinator Chip Kelly left for the NFL. Smigiel, a 6-foot-5, 205-pound standout from Newbury Park, California, will now explore other college football opportunities. Despite his decision, Ohio State does not seem overly concerned. Smigiel is ranked among the top quarterback prospects in his class, though he trails recruits like Faizon Brandon, Ryder Lyons, Jared Curtis, Dia Bell, and Landon Duckworth.

Jim Tressel, the legendary Ohio State football coach who led the Buckeyes to a national championship and six Big Ten titles, is poised to take on a new challenge—this time in government. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has nominated Tressel to serve as the state’s next lieutenant governor, filling the position left vacant by Jon Husted’s move to the U.S. Senate. Tressel’s nomination now heads to the Ohio General Assembly for confirmation. Given that Republicans hold strong majorities in both chambers and DeWine himself is a Republican, approval is expected to be a mere formality. A Coach Turned Leader “He has…

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has tapped former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel as his nominee for lieutenant governor, citing his leadership and deep ties to the state. Tressel, 72, led the Buckeyes to a national championship in 2002 and later served as president of Youngstown State University until his retirement in 2023. His coaching tenure in Columbus from 2001 to 2010 ended in controversy when he resigned amid an NCAA investigation into player benefits—an issue that seems minor by today’s Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) standards. A Surprise Nomination The former coach admitted he was caught off guard when…

The battle for NCAA Tournament spots is heating up, and every win counts for teams hovering on the bubble. On Sunday, Nebraska capitalized on its opportunity, securing a critical 79-71 victory over Ohio State in a high-stakes “double bubble” showdown. With that win, the Cornhuskers extended their streak to four games and improved to 5-6 in Quad 1 matchups, boasting key wins over Illinois, Creighton, and Oregon. Meanwhile, Ohio State’s tournament prospects took a hit. The Buckeyes now sit at 8-10 across the top three quadrants—historically, not an ideal position for selection. Their unique schedule lacks Quad 3 opponents, meaning…

After a grueling stretch of three road games in four matchups, Ohio State is finally getting a break from traveling. The Buckeyes return home for a three-game stretch, beginning Wednesday against Washington. Sitting at 14-10 and on the NCAA Tournament bubble, head coach Jake Diebler addressed the media on Monday, discussing his team’s progress and areas for improvement.
