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.
A week from this very instant, we will be about 18 hours in to the 2015 college football season. We made it. The off-season is behind us.
The bad news: Ohio State doesn't play until Monday. We still have over a week of waiting until the Buckeyes take the field. The waiting got a little easier though, as Cardale Jones has returned to the Twitterverse! Sing praises.
Great Camp

Pretty anticlimactic silence breaker there 12, but I'll take it.

I just copped the new Madden and I want my first victim to be @JT_theQB4th ! I'm calling u out! Come get some smoke
— Tyvis Powell (@1Tyvis) August 27, 2015
If they did a live feed of them playing madden, I'd watch. The trash talk would be spectacular.
Come out of my apt this morning and someone stole my bike. Props to whoever it was for carrying that thing 3 flights of stairs lol #freebike

That's just a solid picture. Nothing to be embarrassed about there. Pantoni needs to step his game up.

"Most likely to be a stay at home dad" killed me. Also, that High School picture is fantastic.
@K_Bergs saw that yesterday. Not sure why he did that too that car. It hurt my heart to see.

That might be the most terrifying backfield of all time. Also, Zeke's sock game is on point.

This confirms to me that Mike Weber almost committed to Iowa. Don't rule out the possibility of a transfer.
Me and Jamarco passing a frat house Jamarco: "Their life looks so fun bro, dang"

I got a mental image of frat-star Jamarco Jones and it was life changing.

Grant taking to his mom - "Someone stole my left flip flop in the locker room. Now I have two right ones. Really put me below the line"
— Liam McCullough (@LiamMcCullough2) August 26, 2015
Freshman Grant Schmidt is struggling. Our thoughts and prayers are with him as he looks for his right flip flop.

family feud
All healthy families bicker from time to time. Tyvis and Cardale are no different.

@CJ12_ hey I was at that Hillard Davidson Vs. Glenville championship game. GO CATS!!!
— Tyvis Powell (@1Tyvis) August 27, 2015
@1Tyvis have you EVER PLAYED IN a high school playoff game?
— Cardale Jones (@CJ12_) August 27, 2015
@1Tyvis at the end of the day, I had more tackles than you in a high school playoff game
— Cardale Jones (@CJ12_) August 27, 2015
Point for Cardale.
@1Tyvis didn't you get enough of that, I'm 2-0 vs you in the circle drill #SillyRabbit
— Cardale Jones (@CJ12_) August 27, 2015
Idk why Tyvis putting on a show this morning, already smashed him the the circle drill, these hands next sucka
— Cardale Jones (@CJ12_) August 27, 2015
@1Tyvis NO! Tied my a**, what I look? A sucka boy? A chump? You the sucka boy jack
— Cardale Jones (@CJ12_) August 27, 2015
@1Tyvis mention her again and I'm coming to look for you
— Cardale Jones (@CJ12_) August 27, 2015
@1Tyvis here I come pic.twitter.com/ogxEl9QISa

Cardale gets the win in this one. Every time Tyvis attacked he had a solid rebuttal. Tyvis's shots just weren't landing, and when they did they were soft. Plus, Cardale is 2-0 against him in the circle drill. You can't argue with #stats.
First day of class
Classes started on Tuesday, and for many athletes it was their first taste of true campus life. Here's how they reacted:
My bed never felt so good before
— Jamarco Jones (@jjones_74) August 25, 2015
Ahhhhhh first day of classes
— Cardale Jones (@CJ12_) August 25, 2015
(Snarky comment about Cardale and class)
Two classes a day, one on Fridays
— Cardale Jones (@CJ12_) August 25, 2015
Wednesdays, I have four hour and 20 minute classes back to back in the same building. I start at 12:40 and don't leave until 6:15. Wanna trade, Cardale?

Classes starting is a blessing

I mean.. Uh... Sure.
First day of class introductions, yes I have a pet koala and kangaroo, no I don't live in the outback #syllabusday

Math professor: I can tell you now the average of the first midterm will be in the 60s but don't get discouraged...
— Jamarco Jones (@jjones_74) August 25, 2015
"Don't get discouraged! The class average is only failing by 10 points!"
Sorry professor but no one in this 8 am wants to hear about your life story
— Kyle Berger (@K_Bergs) August 25, 2015
You know you're in a freshman class when nobody has their phone out....

Stats @ 8 am tomorrow

I only have one 8 AM this semester. Life is magnificent.

I'm just laughing at the thought of Jalyn Holmes's ideal marriage being him and his wife playing Mortal Combat all day. He might be on to something...
Follow Friday
- Andrew Ellis @TeddyHeisman Andrew is the new to the Eleven Warriors staff this week. He's here to help bolster our already awesome recruiting coverage and write a little about Big Ten football. He's a wonderful addition who really knows Ohio State football inside and out. Be sure to give him a follow.
- Matt Gutridge @RemyBuckeye You probably know Matt on this sight as Remy. He's been a wonderful member of our Eleven Warriors community for years, and now he will be a taking over our Prep Tracker feature, informing you about the High School performances of Ohio State commits and targets. Be sure to give him a follow as well.
- The Key Play @TheKeyPlay (Virginia Tech) I will try to give a shoutout to my favorite(s) websites and writers of Ohio State opponents a week in advance (technically, a week and a day in most cases since this piece runs on Friday). The Key Play is an awesome follow even if you aren't a Hookie fan. They are good friends of Eleven Warriors, and really do great work. Like us, their site is free and independent, yet content doesn't suffer. Also, they tweet in ALL CAPS during football season and it's awesome.
