We're living in uncertain times during the COVID-19 outbreak, but Ohio is gonna get through it together – and have some fun along the way.
Even during a global pandemic, the Ohio State vs. Michigan rivalry thrives.
With Earth Day taking place on Wednesday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine lightheartedly announced that he would be giving away his personal buckeye tree to one "random" member of the press corps.
We're not too sure it was random.
Congratulations on winning our Buckeye tree, @lbischoff.

I had no idea Chris Holtmann skateboards and listens to blink-182. It certainly adds to his character.

You wouldn't expect someone to be worried about feeding dozens of strangers about 24 hours before one of the biggest days of his life, but that's what Chase Young was doing yesterday.
Just a day before becoming the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft, The Predator made a sizable Chipotle lunch donation to some healthcare workers.

Shoutout to Chase for taking care of his hometown, even when his mind is almost certainly elsewhere.
Take Me Home
Chase Young's about to become the third Buckeye defensive end in five years to be selected in the top-three of the NFL Draft. Let's re-appreciate one of the most dominant seasons from a defensive lineman ever.
