Devonta Smith(Alabama) was awarded the 2020 Heisman Trophy. Congratulations to him and his success this season. The fact that Ohio State will face the Tide in the National Championship game reminded me of an Editorial from Joe-S-U detailing the Buckeyes history against Heisman winners. Since his article, the Buckeyes have also faced Heisman trophy owners Baker Mayfield (2017), Derrick Henry (2015)

I hope everyone will please indulge me as I say a few words with my thoughts of the tragedy that occurred yesterday. By now, everyone has heard and is processing the terrible news of the tragic passing of basketball legend Kobe Bryant and 8 others including his 13 year old daughter Gigi, in the unspeakable helicopter accident yesterday in California.

There are times throughout the day where I think back to last season’s Ohio State run to the National Championship and can’t help but smile. It was a season that couldn’t be scripted any better. It was a season where we beat the number one and number two seed with a team led by a third string quarterback. It was

In the college fan bases for the other 123 FBS schools, they would be pleased and would be heading to the local greasy spoon by 3:15 for some post game wings and fries.
