Beat Michigan.

Word of the day: disgust.

GOLD PANTS JERSEYS. The football team has been celebrating a Michigan victory with Gold Pants for more than 80 years. But these days we want to beat that team on everything – not just football.

Last year, Chris Holtmann decided his team needed a similar bling after the Wolverines season, which awarded gold jerseys to the team. And with Michigan only on the schedule once this year (unless there is an event after the season), the Buckeyes Sunday have the chance to earn another gold jersey.

This sparked a discussion about the tradition that Ohio State soccer players deserve ‘golden pants’ to celebrate every victory against the Wolverines. Ideas for a basketball equivalent – a ball? a sneaker? – was discussed, and the director of basketball operations, David Egelhoff, reached out to the football program for details on how they are made.

Then comes the next, and probably the biggest question: how can the team earn them in a sport with the potential for multiple games in one season? With a Big Ten schedule for 20 games, there is the possibility that teams can meet twice in a season, as well as in the conference tournament.

“I would not be excited to get a (gold) jersey if I go to play 1-2 against Michigan,” Egelhoff said. “I’m going,” Fellas, we have to sweep it. You can not lose with Michigan and get a gold jersey. ‘”

And for those who want a picture of the goods, Clay Hall was kind enough to share the picture of the state of Ohio with everyone in The Bird App:

I love it, and it makes a gold sweater a more elusive price than a gold pair of pants. For one, the games are likely to be tougher (after all, Michigan * is a basketball school) and there will be more. There is a chance that the Buckeyes will have to defeat the Wolverines two, three or even four times to get this jewelry.

I think Ohio State football could technically have this problem in the future as well if the Buckeyes beat Michigan in the regular season and then meet them again in College Football Playhahahahahhahahahahaha.

“THE BIGGEST 45 MINUTES IN SPORT.” The list of legendary Buckeye athletes is long. But really, it only has to be one name, because Jesse Owens is alone in a class.

Celebrate world records in many different events in less than 45 minutes. This is a sign that no one will ever get close again.

TWO SPORT STAR? I could not tell you one last time that Ohio State started a legal football / basketball two-sport, but it certainly did not happen in my memory, or in the memories of my much older colleagues (sorry, but this is the truth).

But it looks like this guy will have the chance to achieve the relatively unprecedented feat.

The skeptic in me usually considers it a cheap recruiting field for the no. 1-soccer player in the country, but I honestly think it’s legal for a few reasons.

To begin with, the state of Ohio does not really have to play games to land elite football players, especially not on the defensive line. And they do not, and never really did. Terrelle Pryor did not get a basketball scholarship offer in 2008, and JT Tuimoloau does not have one this year, and none of the guys are a bad basketball player.

Second, he’s a teammate of the 2022 Ohio State Guard committed by Bruce Thornton, so there’s a real ring connection there, it’s not just a random offer. Then his scholarship will also be with the football team and he would basically be a free player for the basketball team, so that is not a big risk either.

Either way, he’s in the 2023 class and I’m not trying to spend too much of my energy thinking about high school students. This is Zack’s department.

I’ll just be flaming online in Michigan again.

OKLAHOMA, BUT SHITTIER. It looks like Michigan is trying to make a comeback at Oklahoma’s ‘Transfer QBU’ crown. But unfortunately, the Wolverines just seem focused on the “transfer” part.

I would say that the transfer portal has been significantly friendlier to the state of Ohio over the past few years. I think we are just happy.
