Look, we get it. Your days are busy and you don’t have time to read all of the stories and tweets from the three dozen websites dedicated to covering Ohio State athletics, or the 237 Buckeye beat writers churning out hot takes and #content on a daily basis. But that’s ok, that’s what your friends at Land-Grant Holy Land are here for.
Monday through Friday, we’ll be collecting all of the articles, tweets, features, interviews, videos, podcasts, memes, photos, and whatever else we stumble across on the interwebz and putting them in our daily “Why is this News?” article. That way, you’ll have a one-stop-shop for all of the most important Buckeye news, jokes, and analysis.
You’re welcome!

As someone who was born and raised in Columbus and has lived in Orlando for nearly seven years, I can say that Spencer is not completely correct, but he’s also not completely incorrect.

How Buckeyes can expand on NFL Draft records in 2022
Pete Nakos, Lettermen Row
Wait, so NFL coaches actually talk to people who know draft prospects as both players and people, rather than listening to unnamed sources who spit out bullshit for clout?
When Matt Nagy called Ryan Day to talk about Ohio State's 2020 draft class, something he said about Justin Fields stuck in his mind for a year.

What about the current Buckeyes?

And Alabama just makes sense as a destination for Jamo. With DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle heading to the NFL, Juiceman very well might end up starting alongside John Metchie III.

Now, I’m a huge RJ fan, so I don’t want to pile on, but this is a really bad way to frame this story.
Holy smokes — Saban just went into Hartline's room and came out with the fastest guy at Ohio State.

Former Ohio State WR Jameson Williams is transferring to Alabama.
Now this story on the other hand, I am totally cool with this framing.

Ibrahima Diallo to Enter Transfer Portal After Two Years at Ohio State

Does Ibrahima Diallo’s transfer open the door for a last-second BOOM?
Connor Lemons, Land-Grant Holy Land
Despite all of the weird negativity that people were throwing at the Buckeye men’s basketball team after Diallo’s announcement, they are still in really good shape to contend next season.
