The big news yesterday was J.T. Barrett's dad saying Braxton Miller should be No. 1 heading into fall camp. I'm not sure I agree 100% with the take, but it's fair play on the part of Joe Barrett, who seems like a boss.
CARDALE AND URBAN GOING TO KALAHARI WATERPARK! To me, the dipshit who can't ride a rollercoaster without throwing up his stomach lining, waterparks are more entertaining than traditional "amusement parks."
Going to a waterpark and seeing Cardale Jones and Urban Meyer speak would just be the water on the slide to me.
From Mark Hazelwood of SanduskyRegister.com:
The speaking event, sponsored by The Chevy Network and Foster Chevrolet, will include Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer and quarterback Cardale Jones. Moderated by Russ Mitchell of NBC Cleveland affiliate WKYC, other special guests will include former Buckeye and current Carolina Panthers receiver Ted Ginn Jr. and former OSU quarterback Troy Smith, the 2006 Heisman trophy winner.
Ginn Sr. talked about what he hopes people take away from the [July 10th] event, which runs from 10:30 a.m.-1 p.m [at Sandusky's Kalahari Waterpark].
“There are some people in the world that are doing it the right way … this is what we do for life and for real,” he said. “What you say has to have meaning. It’s not a recreational thing for me, it’s just what I do and how I live on a daily basis. There is more than sports outside of life. It’s trying to make a difference in the world and leave an impact.”
Seems like that would be a cool event to check out if you're in the area.

I saved all the Alabama front-page papers from the Sugar Bowl, b/c I'm an asshole. If you want them for posterity: https://t.co/zK8L1q9Ff0

I'd rather have those Alabama front pages framed than the championship Nike ad. You might say this makes me a horrible person, and you're right. (Remember though: I strangled the last shards of my conscience in the bottom of a FourLoko-filled bathtub back in 2010.)
MICKEY MITCHELL OFFICIAL MIXTAPE. Ohio State's men's basketball team could lose every game next season, and I'm still convinced they'll be more entertaining than last year's team.
Via 305Buck:
Having some agile, versatile big men is going to be a breath of fresh air. (Now if we can only figure out how to get D'Angelo Russell back into the fold...)
NICK MANGOLD DOES WORK ON THE FEUD. Nick Mangold appeared on the AFC vs. NFC Family Feud last night, and of course it was up the Buckeye to hit the game-winning shot:

Confession: I don't understand the popularity of gameshows. I have zero interest in watching googley-eyed strangers win more money playing an insipid game like Wheel of Fortune than I'll make in a year.
And don't even get me started on Jeopardy!
SOMEBODY INJECT THESE INTO MY JUGULAR. We covered Buckeye Brownies yesterday, and just look at these magnificent things in the flesh:

I assume Jillian is now either a millionaire or in the throes of a 72-hour sugar bender. (Godspeed if it's the latter.)
Tune in next Sunday for #BuckeyeCookingCorner. We're making meth, baby! (Your tailgate will be so turnt next year.)
THOSE WMDs. Millennials are actually more generous than anybody knew... Every LBJ dunk from this year: Part 1, Part 2... Le chat domestique et son caractère... The Greatest Bullfight Ever... What happened to that infamous 9-year-old who smoked?
