@VTBuckeyes @iron_brutus Now maybe, full strength about even.

@614Topher @iron_brutus Duke is better.

Please fire Jake Deibler

@iron_brutus Sure, let’s play the lottery because cartoon Brutus is impatient. Again, if you don’t recognize what JD is doing and building towards, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Firing him gives the program a lesser probability of long term success. OSU doesn’t play that way

@614Topher This is a different era of sports. Saying coaches “need time” is no longer valid in 2026.

@iron_brutus You’re either A) not comfortable with the necessary time and change it takes to revert the culture back to what it was or B) have generally no idea at all how things work There’s not a sane, credentialed person in the world that would fire JD right now.

@614Topher How is it insecure with my fandom. Absolutely no correlation there. “Calling for their job” like I’m supposed to care about the livelihood of millionaires

@iron_brutus Delusional? How insecure must you be with your “fandom” to call for people’s jobs when the team is going blow for blow with the best team in the country? You must not watch games or understand the difference between now and January 2023. You wanna switch athletics with UM?

@614Topher The worst thing about basketball is a 4 game win streak makes fans delusional.

@tonjedonedidit @JacobyFC @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 You just said IU has far overtaken osu in sports. That doesn’t warrant me responding. Thats the most ignorant take I’ve ever seen on this app

@614Topher @JacobyFC @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 You’re embarrassing yourself. At least defend your take and give reasoning instead of just saying “we are the best and you are wrong” and then attempting a pretty bad joke when you realize you have no justification. Also being the only one to like your own tweet doesn’t look good

2 bubble teams, last game of the regular season. As *Win & In* as it gets. Bruce Thornton has scored over 2K points but never in the NCAA Tournament. What are you made of Bruce? Now or never.

@andrew42069420 @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 😂 😂 😂

@614Topher @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 Dude no one gives a fuck about your low wage job stop bringing it up. You have no proof but I showed you with proof that Indiana is the more valuable brand. Match that with 5 national titles and the largest alumni base in the country and I’m pretty sure we have you beat.

@andrew42069420 @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 😂 you don’t understand how the biz of sports work and love how you speak for another faceless app user. You’re right I’m not going to share private data that we use to sell ad spots across sports properties with some paperboy on Twitter

@614Topher @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 Dude. Neither of us agree with you. You’re just making claims and not backing it up with any factual information. Indiana is the bigger CBB brand. Have a good night.

@andrew42069420 @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 So if you take those out since IU doesn’t have any, the avg viewership is slightly higher for IU for a first or second round tourney game. Congrats on the win!

@andrew42069420 @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 Valuation isn’t quite ratings draw, but valiant effort. I’ll admit when I’m wrong. I was looking at a pool of Nielsen ratings data and while OSU hoops has a higher avg viewership rating over the last 20 years or so - it’s because they have all the sweet 16 and final 4’s

@andrew42069420 @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 By the way you talk you probably clock in for work and drink soda

@614Topher @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 My brother in Christ. Are my facts getting in the way of your opinions? Lmao this is painful

@JacobyFC @andrew42069420 @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 Basketball

@614Topher @andrew42069420 @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 See I think you got it flipped - did you see what IU stands looked like when they were a bottom of the barrel football team? I would absolutely give Ohio State the “passionate fan” advantage.

@JacobyFC @andrew42069420 @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 Take it up with the American people then. Ohio state brings higher ratings. Sure IU has the brand mystique and more passionate fans, but volume-wise Ohio state draws a higher number of eyeballs. I’d have to do some research, but Michigan prob outdraws IU too

@614Topher @andrew42069420 @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 Well idk about that dude lol It’s absolutely fair to suggest that OSU has a bigger following in basketball than one might expect, but it’s absolutely not at the level of an IU, Duke, Kansas, etc.

@andrew42069420 @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 And that’s not true. I’ve explained that multiple times now. I don’t get the name calling lol. I work in the ad sales space and can promise you the number of human eyeballs that watch osu basketball is greater than the number of eyeballs that watch IU. Simple as that

@614Topher @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 He was originally saying Indiana was the bigger basketball draw than OSU holy fuck man. Do you have to wear a helmet at all times?

@andrew42069420 @rece_messmer @JacobyFC @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 Never won shit - and Indiana has? I don’t have enough give a shit to explain how ratings work - the definition of “draw” - but you can fit that into your Google search. Why do you think OSU plays in an annual CBS series with Kentucky, Kansas and UNC? Bc the ratings pay the bills

@614Topher @rece_messmer @JacobyFC @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 Idk man. Almost 99% of the online sources say otherwise. Kids in college these days don’t know who Thad Matta is. He never won shit

@andrew42069420 @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 I know that, why would that change anything? You came to our old thread to let some steam out

@614Topher @JacobyFC @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 He’s an Indiana fan btw lmao

@andrew42069420 @rece_messmer @JacobyFC @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 Breathe pal! Just because it’s a fact OSU basketball games outperform IU ratings wise - consistently - doesn’t mean I’m blinded by my love for OSU. Albeit most driven by geographical dominance, Ohio State’s consistency under Matta changed the dynamic between the two

@614Topher @rece_messmer @JacobyFC @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 You’re acting like this standard is okay for IU? You’re a complete retard dude. You must not know anything about IU basketball.

@JacobyFC @andrew42069420 @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 Agreed - wild to see where these things go. All because I said Ohio state is in with two losses

@614Topher @andrew42069420 @rece_messmer @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 This has been a hilarious thread to read for no reason other than that NONE of that is even considered by the selection committee 😂

@andrew42069420 @rece_messmer @JacobyFC @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 More recent success, and a more hungry fan base with a program that’s been playing at IU standards which is unacceptable for Ohio state.

@andrew42069420 @rece_messmer @JacobyFC @buckeyeguyy @mizzouking69 @ryanhammer09 Ohio State is the bigger draw in basketball than IU. Geographically speaking, for an ncaa tournament game Ohio state will dominate markets in Columbus Cleveland and Cincy all bigger than Indianapolis. On top of that, a more sports driven alumni base
