This Week in Twitter is a look at some of the week's best and most entertaining tweets from Buckeyeland and beyond.
Several Ohio State defensive linemen weighed in on where root beer ranks in the hierarchy of soda.
You can not name a better flavor of soda than Root beer, name something better?

Darron Lee argued his case for being the best linebacker in Ohio State history.
I respect all my OGs before me in our LB room. But I'd bet every penny I've ever earned, that when it comes to being the best out of that room? I should be in the conversation. Sue me
— Darron Lee (@DLeeMG8) February 19, 2022
If I'm going by our culture of that room? Numero Uno. https://t.co/GiMVvYNis1

The Buckeyes’ official account also released a video about what the “Block 0” jersey, which honors Bill Willis and has been presented to Jonathon Cooper and Thayer Munford for the past two seasons, means to the team.
Bill Willis was everything a Buckeye is meant to be, and now we carry his legacy from #99 - #0.#GoBucks pic.twitter.com/itVpzkIPj7

Ohio State’s linebackers, who appear to now have a Warren G-inspired nickname, took a trip to Topgolf.

Devin Brown shared a video of his deep-ball progression through the years.

Jared Sullinger, a former Ohio State freshman phenom himself, is impressed with Malaki Branham’s three straight 20-point games on the basketball court.
That boy @MalakiBranham is sooo toughhhh.29 and counting on 14 shots.
— Jared Sullinger Sr. (@Jared_Sully0) February 25, 2022
Mark Titus is ready to open up his checkbook to keep Branham in Columbus for more than one year.
Also I am officially willing to spend hundreds if not thousands of United States dollars to bribe all the mock draft guys into leaving Malaki Branham off their 2022 big boards

E.J. Liddell embraced the boos he received in his home state of Illinois, where he dropped 21 points to help lead the Buckeyes to a 86-83 win on the road even though he was battling the flu, but he didn’t appreciate some of the more personal attacks he heard from Illini fans.
2/4: But I cant even explain how rude and disrespectful some fans were. Know your place. I have no hard feelings with that university but man yall are crazy as hell if you think you can just talk to an athlete any kind of way. I play basketball everyday with a smile on my face.
— E.J. Liddell (@EasyE2432) February 25, 2022
4/4: Wasnt playing the best at the beginning lol. Happy my family didnt get a chance to make it due to the weather but man Im glad they only heard things that was said through TV. All aside I had a great time! Some fans just need to get over that I didnt pick their school.
— E.J. Liddell (@EasyE2432) February 25, 2022
Man some people really cant read I said I enjoyed the chants by the student section. Thats a sign of respect in my eyes. It was the people who felt the need to take personal blows. Definitely some weirdos
— E.J. Liddell (@EasyE2432) February 25, 2022
Ohio State’s home fans have been much kinder to the Buckeyes, though, and Chris Holtmann thanked them for all the support they’ve provided all year for his team, which actually has an even better record at the Schottenstein Center (12-1) than Holtmann said in his tweet.
We needed you last night and we appreciate ALL of you who have helped us to an 11-1 home record.
— Chris Holtmann (@ChrisHoltmann) February 22, 2022
See you back in the Schottenstein Center next week for a fun and very tough closing stretch of home games. pic.twitter.com/4cfbLo2iOT
