Who picked the Ohio State men's basketball team to have an advantage over the Ohio State women's team at the beginning of the postseason?
I know I didn't.
But here we are.
Have a nice Monday!
It's time to understand reality. The Ohio State women's hockey team defeated Wisconsin 1-0 in the Frozen 4 final on Sunday, winning its second national championship in three years and avenging a title game loss to the Badgers in 2023. Ta.
After the game, I sent a message to Ohio State President Ted Carter, Athletic Director Gene Smith, and Senior Advisor Ross Bjork (I don't think anyone read it, but I'm sure… Share it here!). It's time for Ohio State University to fast-track plans to build a new stadium for its women's hockey team.
Since Nadine Museral took over the program, Ohio State has a record of 195-73-19. The Buckeyes also appeared in six Frozen Fours and three National Championship games, winning one game over Minnesota vs. Duluth in 2021 and one game over Wisconsin in 2024.
Make the following graph bold Emphasis.
Ohio State's great program shouldn't be competing on the field the school's intramural teams use on weeknights.
To be clear, Ohio State has plans to build an “ice rink replacement facility” near the Covelli Center, Ohio State Lacrosse Stadium and Ty Tucker Tennis Center. However, according to the agenda for the February 2023 board meeting, construction of the “ice rink replacement” is scheduled to take place over a two-year period from June 2024 to March 2026.
I don't know how long it will take to build something – I went to school for journalism – but we should be able to get this team into a new arena by the end of next season Right?
… right?
If it's impossible, it's impossible.
But I need Ohio State to at least try to move the program out of what Museral once called “the ugliest rink in college hockey.”
The Buckeyes got it and then some.
He's Tressel. On Saturday, Ohio State football brought a legend of the program to spring practice at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Some call him the best, others the senator. But we all know him as former head coach and 2002 national champion Jim Tressel, who went 9-1 against the University of Michigan in 10 seasons with the Buckeyes. I am.
After practice, wearing his iconic scarlet sweater vest, Tressel shared a message with Ohio State coaches and players:
“Hold the flag,” Tressel said. “I'm proud. Because when you're older and you come back and look at it, you'll say, 'I can't believe God gave me the chance to be a Buckeye.' Because there is no such thing. ”
Tressel spent the winter in Florida, but returned to Ohio to receive an award from the Ohio High School Athletic Association for his athletic contributions to the Buckeye State. Tressel was joined by Pro Football Hall of Fame member Dick LeBeau, former basketball player and coach Caroline Mast-Daugherty, and MLB umpire Jerry Lane at the men's basketball state championships at UD Arena in Dayton. The award was given at halftime of the semi-final match.
“This is a great honor, (especially) given the importance of the state of Ohio and high school athletics,” Tressel told Frank DiLena of the Columbus Dispatch. “When you look at these towns, you see the whole town is participating in the state championship. One of the highlights of this year is being here this weekend, and I'm honored to be a part of this group. Masu.”
In addition to his accomplishments at Ohio State (of which there are many), Tressel was a quarterback at Baldwin-Wallace University and coached for more than 20 years at Akron, Miami (Ohio) and Youngstown State, where he played Div. Won four I-AA national titles. Penguins in 1991, 1993, 1994 and 1997.
In other words, Tressel is a goat.
It was always like that. It always will be.
Malcolm is in the middle. About 48 hours before Tressel returned to Woody, one of his former players, Malcolm Jenkins, showed up to the Buckeyes' spring practice. After practice, the former Ohio State defensive back shared some life advice with coaches and players.
“No matter what you do, the way you do it is the way you do it all. I mean, if you cut corners and don't have to do everything, even mowing, then I guarantee you that's the way you do everything. '' Jenkins said.
That's solid advice. I like that.
A three-year starter from 2006 to 2008, Jenkins earned first-team All-Big Ten honors three times and helped lead the Buckeyes to three conference titles and two national championship game appearances. . He finished his Ohio State career with 196 tackles, 17 pass breakups, 11 interceptions and two defensive touchdowns. The New Orleans Saints then selected him with the 14th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. He played his 13 seasons in the NFL with the Saints and Eagles, winning the Super Bowl twice.
it is… good?
Mr. Jenkins also founded the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation in 2010. According to the foundation's mission statement, the nonprofit organization is “dedicated to nurturing the potential of youth in underserved communities and promoting positive change through education, advocacy, and empowerment. We will do our best to
Well, I think he has something valuable to share.
Please try again! You've all seen the Big Ten commercials. “I want to live forever on a boat in the ocean aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I want to build a happy home, a home for you. I want to touch the shining silver lining wherever I go eeeee. I-I don’t care.”
Since the end of the 2023 college football season, there has been a lot of talk about what the Big Ten will do with its commercials as USC, UCLA, Oregon State and Washington State transition from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten this summer. The conversation has gotten so much attention lately that even University of Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck addressed the topic in a press conference last week.
I don't know what the commercial is going to be, but I know what it's going to be.
there is nothing.
There is nothing.
The Big Ten should keep its commercials almost 100% the same, with a few changes. The commercial should start with the Rutgers pop-up on the East Coast. Then Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan, Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, Scan the University of Southern California, UCLA pop-up from east to west. , the final shot confirms the Rose Bowl, the trademark location of many great Big Ten memories.
boom. There's your commercial.
Too easy.
