I had just turned 16 and was already a fan of all things tOSU.
Their entire coaching staff should have been fired and the program suspended for the remainder of that season at a minimum.
Dave Winfield one of the top 50 B1G icons of all time? Maybe one of the top 50 thugs based on his actions that day.

If there’s such thing as a get-right game in the Big Ten this season, it’s the next one up on the Buckeyes’ schedule.

WHO WHERE WHEN TV
Minnesota (6-8, 0-4 B1G) Schottenstein Center 6:30 p.m. FS1
The only team winless in conference play thus far comes to town at the perfect time for Ohio State, which runs the risk of a three-game slide if it can’t get past the Big Ten’s cellar-dweller Thursday. Not only would a loss represent Ohio State’s longest skid since 2020-21, but it would also mark the singular worst defeat of the season for the Buckeyes, who face a 6-8 Minnesota team that’s come up empty-handed in four previous attempts at a Big Ten victory.

That’s not to say Minnesota hasn’t come close. The Golden Gophers dragged Nebraska to overtime Saturday before coming up two points short. Four days prior, Minnesota lost by only three points to then-No. 14 Wisconsin. Those results are a big step up from Minnesota’s 19-point Dec. 4 loss to Purdue and subsequent 15-point defeat to Michigan on Dec. 8, but an L is an L all the same.

The Buckeyes know the feeling. They didn’t get any bonus points for almost knocking off the No. 1 team in the country last Thursday, nor were they spared any sympathy for losing to Maryland on the road without Zed Key (shoulder). Ohio State’s first set of consecutive losses is a setback for a team that seemed to be trending upward ahead of last week’s Purdue matchup, and Thursday’s 6:30 tip is a golden opportunity to respond.

“We've got, as always, an important week, and a Minnesota team that's playing very, very well and now is fully healthy,” Chris Holtmann said on 97.1 The Fan Monday. “And that's our sole focus right now.”

Really needed Malaki Branham to stay 1 more year but this always happens players leave a year too early do very little in the NBA and their college team suffers for it. This team would been great this year instead is solid but not great. I don't see any NCAA championships in my lifetime in Ohio State's future a lot of nice runs the 2007 was the year Ohio State had to take it down with the talent they had then in 2011 was the next year they had to take it down. Those were the best 2 chances. Had a great year in 2012 as well to get to the Final 4 but no one was beating Davis and Kentucky in 2012.
