You may find that work, school, or other obligations keep you from focusing on Twitter the way you should. Thankfully for you, I'm able to tune out those distractions and provide you with a weekly rundown of the best tweets from around campus.

It's that time where you spend far too much time watching YouTube videos of last year's highlights, staring the depth chart trying to get a grasp of what the team will look like next year, and arguing with random strangers on the internet over which young wide receiver is going to be a future star (it's K.J. Hill, btw). 

The off-season sucks, and there's not much I can do to make real, on-field football come any faster. I can, however, help you pass the time by collecting the best tweets of the week for you to enjoy. Afterall, you do pay top dollar for this content, even in the off-season. I have to give you your money's worth.

B1G Championship? Nah. Sugar Bowl win? Nah. National Championship? Nah. The happiest Cardale Jones has ever been in his life is when Chipotle' finally interacted with him on Twitter. Chipotle', I'm not trying to tell you how to run your business, but as a marketing major I feel qualified to say that if you don't sign Cadale Jones to an endorsement deal the moment he declares for the draft, you're doing everything wrong.

Tyvis Powell is my favorite Buckeye on the team currently and it's really not close at all. That's kind of irrelevant to anything else in this post, but I just wanted to put that on record.

(Yes that was a fat joke)

Watch out Braxton, Das Boot isn't taking days off either (even if he is exercising like a soccer mom).

The scary thing is... It actually can. $100 has officially become pocket change for Patient Zero.

For context, he was referring to the news that he's been named to the watch-list for the Rimington Trophy which is given to the nation's best center.

College misses you too, D'Angelo *broken heart emoji*

Ezekiel Elliott Trolls That Team Up North

If you were ever look at mentions of the higher profile players on Twitter (Braxton, Zeke, Cardale, and Joey Bosa), you'd see some pretty dumb people (like this guy). The great thing about these guys is from time to time they actually interact with those people. When this happens, it makes my job very easy because it's always hilarious. This week, it was Zeke trolling Michigan fans.

(Warning: Michigan Men sometimes direct expletives at 19 year old kids who beat their team in football)

Zeke started the battle with this...

Then he started to get responses like this...

To which Zeke responded with...

But the Michigan fans kept coming...

Zeke's response:

But it didn't stop there.

this week's winner of twitter

Speaking of high profile players interacting with people in their mentions...

So what's the verdict? I think he's hilariously spot on.

Braxton also got the win because he really only tweets a couple of times a month. So if one of those few tweets is comparing a guy in his mentions Carl on Family Matters, he's going to get the win. Also, it was suggested to me by someone that Braxton should get the win this week for this tweet. So if you really care enough to make a suggestion, chances are I'll listen.

Follow Friday

  • Michael Thomas @cantguardmike
  • Tom Orr @TomOrr4 -Tom is the first member of "Ohio State Twitter" I ever followed like 6 years ago. He basically introduced me to the concept of constantly talking about the Buckeyes on the interweb (so you have him to blame). He's still probably my favorite follow. He's an incredibly clever guy and has an uncanny ability to troll the hell out of Michigan fans (when I say uncanny, I mean uncanny. It's almost like a superpower).
