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!


The State of The Game

It’s been a good decade! Ohio State is averaging 5.5 touchdowns per game against Michigan during its current eight-game winning streak. Thats 38.5 points alone not including field goals. Dominance.

Meanwhile in Ann Arbor (is a whore), they’re finally starting to take the rivalry seriously.

I wonder what does our old friend Colton have to say about this development?
