This Week in Twitter is a look at some of the week's best and most entertaining tweets from Buckeyeland and beyond.
With the 2022 college football season now complete, numerous Buckeyes took to Twitter to share their highlights from the season that was. Paris Johnson Jr. went old-school, setting his highlight video to the 2Pac classic “Hit ‘Em Up” – with some choice words edited out.

Darron Lee had a nightmare about Mickey Marotti’s winter workouts, which brought back bad memories for several other former Ohio State football players, too.

FedEx wouldn’t help Taylor Decker with a lost shipment – until he shared his displeasure on Twitter.
Shoutout @FedEx for losing a perishable 24 hour shipment of a month supply of milk for my newborn, and responding that there is nothing they can do, and will not reimburse me. What a joke.
— Taylor Decker (@__taylordecker) January 13, 2023
Oh but now I get a response because its on social media https://t.co/rHbXuJqJUL
— Taylor Decker (@__taylordecker) January 13, 2023
I think its appropriate to acknowledge Corneshia (I believe thats the proper spelling) at @FedEx Exec offices doing a wonderful job helping us to receive our package in a salvageable state. A positive ending to an unfortunate situation.
