The Buckeyes have a new Athletic Director
January 16th, 2024 at 5:02 PM ^
Former Ole Miss AD with Hugh Freeze and Texas A&M with Jimbo. I'm sure he has the *cough* NIL *cough* figured out....
January 16th, 2024 at 5:04 PM ^
Is there really any difference between A&M's NIL and OSU's NIL?
January 16th, 2024 at 5:04 PM ^
And hookers
January 16th, 2024 at 6:26 PM ^
Perfect hire. On brand.
May "born on 3rd" continue to do less with more.
January 16th, 2024 at 5:06 PM ^
Now we have a Bjork supervising a dork.
January 16th, 2024 at 5:07 PM ^
Just like OSU to hire the most famous Icelandic pop singer as their AD...
January 16th, 2024 at 5:14 PM ^
Most famous and ONLY Icelandic pop singer
January 16th, 2024 at 5:22 PM ^
sigur ros to replace warde!
January 16th, 2024 at 5:28 PM ^
Most famous and ONLY Icelandic pop singer
Not so fast. You are forgetting about Icelandic Eurovision sensation Lars Erickssong.
January 16th, 2024 at 5:38 PM ^
And of course I forget Sigrit Ericksdóttir too!!!
January 17th, 2024 at 9:01 AM ^
Don't undersell Laufey. Love her style which is more jazzy/bluesy.
And Of Monsters and Men are not pop, but they're also pretty good.
And I also listened to the Sugarcubes back in the day.

Now the poor Buckeyes will finally be able to drop bags. Still waiting for them to drop a hundred, though.
January 16th, 2024 at 6:32 PM ^
They've been dropping bags as far back as Tressel, if not longer. Tattoo gate was spun as just trading memorabilia forTattoos but that was the furthest thing from the truth. Terrell Pryor was a lock for Michigan and RR, then all the sudden he commits to ohio state and has a brand new nissan 350z and several photos on social media of Fanned out Benjamin's at Columbus clubs. Not to mention these kids weren't required by the school to go to class either.
January 16th, 2024 at 6:39 PM ^
You must not read 11W. The good folks at OSU have never dropped a bag in their lives. In fact, their devotion to playing clean has been a major hurdle for them to overcome.
January 16th, 2024 at 8:41 PM ^
As someone who actually knows the dirt on Tressel and Pryor - the 350Z was actually one of the last cars he had... after he totalled his previous car in the WHAC parking lot late at night/early in the morning. He totalled it into a female athlete's car (volleyball player if my memory is correct) and Tressel was nearly immediately called and got it all swept away.
The Nissan followed that. Pryor went through a ton of cars during his OSU days.
Yes, the "tattoos scandal" was about much, much more than mere freebie tattoos. That's just what the public heard. You don't earn a show cause for free tattoos.
January 17th, 2024 at 8:16 AM ^
But maybe for free cheeseburgers /s
January 16th, 2024 at 5:10 PM ^
Two hirings of a djork in two days for that position?
Looks like osu will try almost anything to reverse their 4+ year drought against us.

This is the “official announcement”. We’ll get another post when his moving trucks pass though Cincinnati and the fourth when he sits at his desk for the first time.
January 16th, 2024 at 5:12 PM ^
Again?
January 16th, 2024 at 5:13 PM ^
Please bring the same leadership and ineptitude that just cost A&M $77 million for a guy named Jimbo.
January 16th, 2024 at 5:19 PM ^
party time in columbus. FUCK OFF GENE!
bjork wearing white. yummy. hot flowing lava sex. oh, just thinking out loud again.
January 16th, 2024 at 7:04 PM ^
Better mascot than a nut.
January 16th, 2024 at 10:32 PM ^
Bjork n’ Roll?
January 16th, 2024 at 5:25 PM ^
The land of mercenaries…
I have this feeling he’ll say - “Tell me about your NIL and brown bag program. And, I’ll tell you how the real pros do it. It’s like Top Gun - I’m gonna make you even better…”
He’s the perfect fit for the folks in Columbus.
January 16th, 2024 at 5:30 PM ^
I'm sure he's already made his first call to Pettiti or the other way around.
Hopefully this OSU AD will have enough class to not get in arguments with sideline employees/volunteers.
And may he be completely incompetent managing all athletic programs.
January 16th, 2024 at 5:34 PM ^
More like Bjerk amirite?
January 16th, 2024 at 5:51 PM ^
That chick always seemed weird but I woulda banged er.
January 16th, 2024 at 6:53 PM ^
This tells me that there's a side to you that you haven't found a way to fully express just yet.
January 16th, 2024 at 6:52 PM ^
That was kind of expected after the other dude, Gene Smith (EMU Huron) planned to retire.
January 16th, 2024 at 6:56 PM ^
They are going full “NIL” armament and we seem to be prepared to give up our greatest weapon.
January 16th, 2024 at 7:06 PM ^
he wanted to feel the experience of losing in the greatest rivalry in sports
January 16th, 2024 at 7:09 PM ^
Maybe he knows how to keep Harbaugh. We should ask him.
January 16th, 2024 at 7:19 PM ^
Ah, the guy who saw someone with a ring available and immediately shelled out the most-absurd pre-Tucker contract the sport had ever seen.
...
Coach O, come on down!
January 16th, 2024 at 7:23 PM ^
Wait, isn't this the guy that wrote the contract which extended Jimbo Fisher’s contract from 3 to 10 years? Later, after being noncompetitive in the SEC and fired by the schools regents, Jimbo was given $76M to leave?
Good hire.
January 16th, 2024 at 7:26 PM ^
This is good news. He’s awful. A&M fans are rejoicing.
January 16th, 2024 at 7:33 PM ^
Perfect fit for Columbus…
January 16th, 2024 at 7:36 PM ^
what, me worry?
January 16th, 2024 at 8:42 PM ^
Boy did we do a number on them or what.
January 16th, 2024 at 9:02 PM ^
Maybe he can do for Buckeye football what he did for A&M football.
January 16th, 2024 at 9:21 PM ^
Bjork was the AD at Miss. who was involved in the Hugh Freeze/Hoiuston McNutt fiasco; and he also defended Miss. when Shea Patterson and his attorney Tom Mars brought accusations of fraud against the school.
