This Week in Twitter is a look at some of the week's best and most entertaining tweets from Buckeyeland and beyond.

With spring practice set to begin March 7, the Ohio State football Buckeyes have been busy with winter workouts. 

Looks like a real good time. 

But no doubt the team is building cohesion and bonds as spring ball draws near. 

Former starting Arizona State long snapper John Ferlmann is also gearing up for action. 

While TreVeyon Henderson won't be able to participate in spring practice as he recovers from surgery, the game-breaker when healthy, appears motivated to come back stronger than ever.

As for Buckeyes moving on and prepping for the NFL Draft, film from Jaxon Smith-Njigba and C.J. Stroud and is generating buzz around the league. Steve Smith - fan of JSN: 

And Louis Riddick is on the Stroud train. 

Stroud was also busy dining with Kim Kardashian while shining a light on a matter of significance in his life. 

Could both JSN and Stroud be NFL greats some day? Speaking of NFL greats to grace Ohio Stadium, Orlando Pace was maybe the most dominant of them all while wearing scarlet and gray. Here's a throwback since Tuesday was National Pancake Day. 

And as for a current Buckeye great making noise in The League, Terry McLaurin welcomed his new offensive coordinator to Washington. 

Two long snapper tweets, you ask? You got it - Liam McCullough re-signs with Atlanta. 

Former Buckeye and New York Jets great Nick Mangold let it be known he's skilled in more than playing center. I'm not going to argue with him. 

To send us off, here's Harry Miller with the latest example of his philosopher chops. 

Turning to hoops, let's start with the pros since Chris Holtmann's squad is a twice a week horror flick. Playing in the top pro league in France, David Lighty is still well, lighting it up, for ASVEL Basket and he's still the quality dude you remember. 

We see you, Malaki, recognizing the greatness of Fruity Pebbles and Ozark. 

All right, let's go a little further back in time with OSU hoops to make sure you young folk know how sick Dennis Hopson was. Dude only had the three-point line for his senior season and he promptly poured in 29 points a game (along with 8.2 boards a night), aided by a 42% mark from beyond the arc. He was truly a three-level scorer. 

And 30 years ago last Thursday, Randy Ayers' squad handed Robert Montgomery Knight's Indiana team its first conference loss of the season behind a big night from Jamie Skelton (and Derek Anderson). 

Mark Titus took his talents to Barstool Sports last week and Evan Turner responded in kind. 

Speaking of the Rainmaker, here he is wisely reminding folks to stop by and support Project 44 on Sunday at the Schott. 

Brutus got us jealous of this ride though it is missing the spin-out handle beside the right tire. IYKYK. 

Of course it was another rough week for Holtmann's squad with a blowout loss to Purdue and a home defeat suffered at the hands of Penn State. 

I guess the silver lining here is Purdue's beat them worse recently? Then Penn State game was just a four-point loss but yeah that ending was rough. 

This video just needs some clowns driving around the players in tiny go-karts to be Oscar-worthy and maybe some Yakety-Sax for the soundtrack. 

Finally, salute to Ohio State's swim and dive team - four-straight B1G titles! 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, folks.
