I have parked in the South lot on the southwest side of Lucas Oil Stadium for tonight’s OSU-IU game. I have a limited supply of paperback “Buckeye Brotherhood” books. Enough people expressed interest, so I brought some. I will be on S. Missouri St. for a little while if you’re interested.

On the cusp of the Heisman, Julian Sayin remains unaffected by fame On the field, much has changed for Julian Sayin since the start of Ohio State’s season.

Julian Sayin has become a top Heisman contender, but those who know him best say he hasn't changed at all with new fame. Good stuff from his family and Ryan Day. Hope you enjoy. bit.ly/4pY6AGN

Just throwing this out there. Would there be interest if I brought paperback "Buckeye Brotherhood" books to Indy for purchase? I'm not sure how it would work logistically. My parking is in the South Lot near Capital Ave. I could sell and sign them near there before the game. Your thoughts?

My scheduled book signing at the OSU campus Barnes & Noble for tomorrow has been rescheduled for Dec. 18. The store didn't have enough books ordered, and this week has been crazy for me, so it works out best for everyone. I will have a signing at the Dublin B&N next Thursday (Dec. 11).

I'm not really familiar with Bookshop so I can't advise you about that. If you pre-ordered, I imagine you would get it eventually. If you become a paid annual subscriber to my Substack covering OSU football, I will mail you a signed copy from my supply for no additional cost.

Great news. After a frustrating delay, Amazon now has paperback versions of "Buckeye Brotherhood" available.

If you're in Ohio and can buy it at a bookstore, I hope you do to support them. But Amazon obviously is convenient, especially for those out of state.

What I loved (a lot) and hated (some nitpicking) from Ohio State's win over Michigan Ohio State ended four years of frustration with its impressive 27-9 over Michigan in Ann Arbor.

'A different look in his eye.' How Ryan Day learned from last year's Michigan loss The debacle last November against Michigan marked the low point of Ryan Day’s coaching tenure at Ohio State.

Ryan Day’s Buckeyes are hoping to snap a four-game losing streak in The Game. What changes has he made? How did last year’s loss shape him? How is he feeling heading this week? No one knows him better than his wife, and I talked to Nina.

'I don't really remember much.' OSU LT Siereveld hopes for better memories this year vs. Michigan The offensive lineman played through a concussion in The Game in '24

'I don't really remember much.' Why Ohio State left tackle Austin Siereveld has little memory of last year's game and why it fuels him for Saturday's game against Michigan.
