This Week in Twitter is our weekly look at some of the week's best and most entertaining tweets from current and former Ohio State players and other Ohio State accounts.
COVID-19 threw a wrench into everyone's plans in all of life. That's no different on the Ohio State beat, as nobody covering the Buckeyes has been given much access outside of looking at each other's faces during Zoom press conferences.
But, hey, at least spring ball is actually back, and if you're not hyped up, you're not trying. Here are some nice gems from Ohio State's first few practices thus far:

Hey, Dawand Jones were you happy this week? We couldn't tell.

Would be nice of Thayer Munford to not want to come eat us for lunch, though.

Oh, hey, speaking of lunch! This is the best one of them all – Josh Fryar got a little bit hungry this week either before or after a drill. Seeing that short clip could actually provide us some insight into the Buckeyes' offensive line depth chart.

Or maybe not at all.
For instance, is that Nicholas Petit-Frere starting at left tackle now? No, probably not. You see Tyreke Smith in the background of that video, so it's more likely that they were simply walking back after a drill/play and that Thayer Munford and NPF are at their normal positions. But who knows? That's the fun.
And speaking of fun, how cool would it be if some of these Buckeyes came back for another round instead of just stopping by the Woody for their Pro Day? (By the way, if you're buying C.J. Stroud stock and believe he's going to be the Buckeyes' next starting quarterback, better get used to that "Yessirrrrr" tweet. Shouting that is a Stroud staple.)
Great having @treyera back in town. Thanks for going to breakfast this morning and anxious to watch you run around and perform at your Pro Day!! pic.twitter.com/0dkCScs1jW

Damn, we wish Trey Sermon was going to be around to give us another one of those GIF-able faces he gave us in the Sugar Bowl.

Hopefully people respected the way that Seth Towns battled through his injury, the rehab and the daily physical therapy he had to go through just to get on the court. Toward the end of the year (after it seemed like the Buckeyes coaching staff was saving his body a bit minutes-wise throughout the course of the regular season) Towns started getting more playing time.
He was a major reason why Ohio State gave us so much entertainment during that fun four-day stretch in Indianapolis before that, you know, crushing one-day stretch in Indianapolis.
Anyway, here's a hype video Towns tweeted this week showcasing some of that fight:

Oh, and even though this isn't Twitter, do check out the latest Miyan Williams hype video on Ohio State's TikTok. Yeahhhhhh.
As a reminder and as a closing statement (knowing fully well that you, dear reader, don't need to hear it specifically), we feel the need to say this in a piece that highlights the fun of social media after what we saw this past week...
Don't message or tweet at athletes (or at any other human beings for that matter) saying derogatory or defamatory things. If you do, you're just revealing yourself as a f****** loser. And you're not a loser. So don't do it.
