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.
Ryan Day may be a multi-millionaire head coach of one of the top college football programs in all the land, but the parking meter is a great equalizer that dishes out its coldheartedness indiscriminately.
Thankfully for Day, there was a parking meter fairy to bless him.

And Day was – as anybody would be – nothing but grateful.
Wow thanks!!

Day wasn't the only person that needed a helping hand this week though, cause the NFL apparently has a problem with identifying one of the top players at his position.
.@OhioStateFB OG Wyatt Davis wants to live out his NFL dreams and honor his late grandfather, @packers legend Willie Davis.

It's a stellar video, except if you look closely, not all of those shots were Wyatt. And the Buckeyes let 'em hear it.
At 1:23 thats not Wyatt @NFL https://t.co/9O1Qvztpax

This obviously ain't the first time a Buckeye has been confused for another Buckeye, if you remember the 2017 draft, when apparently nobody knew what Marshon Lattimore looked like. You would have thought we'd get better at this, but here we are.
This week also gave us the end of the college basketball season with Monday night's championship game, which was rather one-sided from the start. Javontae Jean-Baptiste was convinced we'd see a comeback, though.
Gonzaga still gonna win

*Extreme narrator voice* Gonzaga did not still win.
In any case, it was the end of another college hoops season, which gave Joey Lane a chance to remind everyone about what we can assume is one of his proudest accomplishments.
Yesterday, I forgot to give my yearly reminder that I was in One Shining Moment. So hear it goes...
— Joey Lane (@JoeySmoke14) April 6, 2021
I was in One Shining Moment. Pretty cool if I do say so myself.
That's about the only thing the Buckeyes were able to celebrate from this tournament, regretfully. But help is on the way – and it's King James approved.
Proud of you kid!! Helluva a HS career and capped it off with a State title and Mr. Basketball!! Love to see it! KEEP GOING, dont stop here @MalakiBranham! https://t.co/TMtc6wjGZI

Getting knocked out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round is decidedly bad, but the good news is that it gave renowned chefs Zed Key and Meechie Johnson some extra time in the kitchen to perfect on their dorm room culinary skills.
They dont know about it yet @OhioStateHoops https://t.co/FRLZs3CCD9

And it looks like Marcus Williamson was cooking something up, too.
Major love to whoever invented nonstick pans
— Marcus Williamson (@WW_Marcus) April 4, 2021
And y'all thought college students were just cooking ramen and easy mac.
We're hungry just looking at all that, but Miyan Williams is hungry for something else.
Stay hungry

But he'll have to hold off a freshman who already has one hell of a nickname.

Clearly, spring practice is in full swing, so Zach Harrison was mic'd up to give us a little live listen – complete with some... interesting sounds and creative commentary.

But practice ain't always fun and games, as Dawand Jones lets us know.

And sometimes, it's simply a grind – even for a walk-on punter.

While Craig Young works to find his way on the field this year, he wants to remind us that he's fast, fast.

And last but not least, the Buckeyes paid homage to legend gone too soon.
