TCU isn't big, but they have players who are long and fight. Here's what you need to know about Ohio State's first-round NCAA Tournament opponent. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Max Arfsten said everyone with #Crew96 is frustrated, particularly offensively, because the team isn't scoring right now. He said there is optimism within the group because they believe in what they're doing, but understand it will take time.

It's been a while, but Ohio State is back in the NCAA Tournament. The #Buckeyes are facing TCU in the first round of the Big Dance. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

It was another disappointing performance and result for #Crew96 on Saturday night against Nashville. We knew there would be time for adjustments, but that doesn’t make it easier to watch. My thoughts.

Rough. Really rough from #Crew96. Another home game played to not concede, yet this came against a team who wasn’t focused on this game in the slightest, Nashville looking ahead to the Champions Cup. Abou Ali is too isolated with Rossi playing wide.

Ohio State comes up short of a major upset in the Big Ten Tournament, losing to Michigan 71-67. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

After not starting in the opener and not even getting off the bench last week, it's clear Daniel Gazdag's rocky start to his #Crew96 career isn't improving. We're not there yet, but eventually there will be a breaking point, and there's no easy solution. massive-report.com/2026/03/12/c...

Up 16, it looked like it might be a comfortable win for the #Buckeyes in the Big Ten Tournament. But of course, there was March drama. Ohio State held off Iowa very late to advance after a 72-69 win. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

I asked Henrick Rydström about the noticeable lack of Daniel Gazdag against the Fire on Saturday. #Crew96's Designated Player has played 72 minutes through three matches this season.

Here is the metaphor I referred to. Henrick Rydström had a few today but I think thought this one was the best when discussing #Crew96 adjusting to his system to start the season.

Iowa just defeated Maryland, meaning Ohio State faces the Hawkeyes tomorrow to begin the team's Big Ten Tournament run. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

#Crew96 head coach Henrick Rydström compares Wilfried Nancy to a "nice looking ex" for your significant other. He said fans and media are always looking at the very successful coach who came before and compare to him. What a metaphor!

#Crew96 additions Andre Gomes and Nariman Akhundzada are in Columbus and trained with the team today. Big news for the Black & Gold after the inconsistent start to the season.

This move made no sense for #Crew96 at the time and now they’re essentially paying to send Aliyu back to Houston. Still not sure what role he was supposed to play in Columbus. Very odd.

Buckeye football is back. First day of spring practice at the WHAC.

Former #Crew96 midfielder Derrick Jones and defender Yaw Yeboah have been given lifetime suspensions from MLS after betting on games.

Many players would have wanted to draw attention to themselves on Saturday with everything going on. Bruce Thornton was focused on beating Indiana for the first time in his career. That's among the reasons he's a "Buckeye for life." 247sports.com/college/ohio...

After just over two years on the job, Ted Carter has resigned as Ohio State president following disclosure of an inappropriate relationship. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

All in all, disappointing performance and result by #Crew96. Patrick Schulte was easily the man of the match. Not much else positive. A clear back 3/5 tonight, which I didn’t expect in this game. It appeared an effort to be more secure at the back led to very little going forward…

Ohio State is hiring Mateo Kambui, who has worked with new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith for the last three seasons, to work with offensive linemen. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Matt Patricia didn't just help create the country's best defense last season. He was more than that to the Ohio State players, especially as they prepare for the NFL Draft. "I think that gave me an advantage, for sure." 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Soon + food. #Crew96

The #Buckeyes get a huge win to help their NCAA Tournament hopes. I give my thoughts on Ohio State’s upset of Purdue as I leave the Schott.

For a referee that called a foul nearly every time a player fell, no call (or VAR) on either SKC goal is wild. With that said, #Crew96 was about as bad as the officiating. The press is there but very unorganized. Looked like an attacking group with no chemistry. The transition defense is A PROBLEM.

Statement from #Crew96 spokesperson on reports that an ownership group led by the Haslam family is exploring an NWSL in Columbus: “Haslam Sports Group consistently evaluates various investment opportunities across the sports and entertainment industry....

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel discusses Arthur Smith becoming Ohio State's offensive coordinator: "'m excited for him to be in Columbus. Obviously, that place means a lot to me, personally, and my family."

Some thoughts on #Crew96’s season opener against the Timbers, which I attended over the weekend. We’ll have more on the @massive-report.com podcast, recording Monday at City Tavern.

Looked like #Crew96 reverted to old habits in the second half of Saturday's game against the Timbers. Disappointing because this game seemed like it was there to be won. But a good start to a new era.

After today's overtime victory by the USA over Canada, three #Buckeyes take home gold and four more won silver. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Bruce Thornton and Devin Royal went off. Others contributed. The #Buckeyes put together the kind of performance that could earn them more wins like the one against Wisconsin. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Can confirm Mike’s reporting. I would be more surprised if it didn’t happen. And there might be one more #Crew96 move before this window.

#Crew96 defender Steven Moreira will not be available against the Portland Timbers on Saturday after losing a member of his family. Moreira returned to France and the club fully supported his wishes to be with family following the passing, a club spokesperson confirms.

A look ahead at the 2026 season, how the #Crew96 roster and coaching staff came together and more, as I got to talk with Henrick Rydström and Issa Tall for a bonus @massive-report.com podcast episode. Enjoy massivereportpodcast.podbean.com/e/ep-532/

Headed to Portland. ✌️

I spoke with #Crew96 GM Issa Tall this morning and head coach Henrick Rydström yesterday. Sounds like another move could be coming for the Black & Gold before the current transfer window closes, although they want to make sure it's the right player.

Thoughts on the game while leaving Ohio State’s win over No. 24 Wisconsin.

🤔

This week, Matt Patricia waxed poetically about Ohio State at the Broyles Award, which had to have fans wondering about his future after rumored NFL interest. I looked into the latest on the defensive coordinator and his future with the #Buckeyes. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

#Crew96's attack dropped off in 2025 as the Black & Gold's three Designated Players only played 150 minutes together. There was a small sample size of what that could look like against Atlanta, but Henrick Rydström is ready to let the trio loose in 2026. massive-report.com/2026/02/12/c...

It took Ohio State longer than expected to get going. But when the #Buckeyes did, they showed fight and balance with their production that will be necessary going forward. My 3-point analysis from the win over USC. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

“He was the most popular pick for an Alabama defender to become a star in 2025, and that just never happened." @mike_roach247 explains the up-and-down ride for Qua Russaw with the Crimson Tide and what kind of player is coming to Ohio State. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

A year ago, Ohio State fans were excited about the offensive linemen returning. Now, they are asking why the #Buckeyes didn't go get a transfer linemen. The answer has to do with the talent on the roster, which admittedly didn't play its best late. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

For as good as Arsenal is at scoring off corners, they would be awful at defending them if the referees called all the fouls they commit in the box.

Bubble training!

Head coach Henrick Rydström said he's learned #Crew96 has a very good chemistry and the people take care of each other. He said now he wants more fire and wants the competition to increase in preseason training.

The #Buckeyes are close to hiring former NFL head coach and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith to replace Brian Hartline. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Talked to a few #Crew96 people today about the scrimmage against Naples United. I didn't get much... It was emphasized by two people that this was a scrimmage, not even a preseason friendly and therefore very informal. It sounds like the Crew dominated the game and scored "a lot."

There will be no #CFBPlayoff expansion for at least another year. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

The #Buckeyes are "out for blood" against Michigan, but it won't come easy tonight on the road against one of the best teams in the country. But that's what makes rivalries fun. "This game means more." 247sports.com/college/ohio...

It will be a new-look defensive line next season, but Ohio State got some good news and added some players who could make an impact in 2026. 247sports.com/college/ohio...
