ladies and gentlemen. The next Skull session after this will kick off Game Week at Ohio State University.
But let’s not go too far. Friday’s Skull session still has much to read. We think you’ll love some of the content we have for the weekend.
Have a nice Friday.
“While I breathe, I hope.” Ohio State University offensive lineman Harry Miller announced his retirement from football on March 10 due to an ongoing battle with mental health.
On Thursday, Miller shared on Twitter that August 25 was the one-year anniversary of telling Ryan Day that he wanted to kill himself. I corresponded. Miller says the act saved his life.

Since Miller’s retirement, Day has created new opportunities to make an impact on the team without contributing to the field. Miller was seen helping offensive linemen at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center this fall, a charismatic and caring person who was always on the program.
“I’m still here on a day I never thought I’d see you,” Miller wrote. “It was a year of hurt but gratitude. Love is a lesson. Pain is a teacher. Sometimes we think we only have 4 minutes of strength when in fact we only have 3 minutes of strength.
Miller ended the tweet with the hashtag for the Latin phrase “Dum Spiro Spero.” This he used frequently on his social media platforms after his retirement. Its translation: While I breathe, I hope.
Thank you Harry Miller. You are an inspiration to many and Buckeye Nation is rooting for you.

Twenty-seven years later, there’s a giant board with a cropped screen showing replays of every game and fans cheering on the beloved Buckeyes. Seriously, if there wasn’t a screen somewhere in the stadium how did you watch the replay?
Also, I’d love to see what the other graphics look like on the big screen on the left. .
backeye way. Ohio State’s men’s basketball will see many turnovers from last season. New players, new coaches and the first two changes introduce new offensive and defensive schemes.
However, as long as Chris Holtman remains the program’s head coach, one thing about the program will always remain the same. That way, Holtman would do all the “backeye ways” he said in his June 2017 press conference that he would put this principle into practice.
“Aggressive, attacking,” Holtman said of what to expect from Ohio State’s style of play. “We want to be physical, tough and tough minded. We want our players to play freely. We want them to play freely. I think that’s what people see.”
Buckeye fans saw just how physically tough and tough-minded the men’s basketball team was when the program’s Twitter account posted highlights of team conditioning training inside Ohio Stadium.

Part 1 of the doubleheader will take place inside Jesse Owens Stadium at 6 p.m. when Ohio State Women’s Soccer hosts 2021 runners-up, BYU. The No. 20 Buckeyes has already had two Power-Five victories in Kansas and Missouri this season and is set to take his third win against the No. 9 Cougars. Brigham Young led the all-time series with a 2-0-1 record and his 3-0 win last season in Provo, Utah.
Part 2 will be held across the street at the Coberi Center. Here, the Ohio State women’s volleyball team will play Texas No. 2 at 8 p.m. The Buckeyes ranked 7th in the AVCA poll after collecting a 27-6 record and reaching Sweet 16. NCAA tournament last season.
Ohio State head coach Jenn Flynn Oldenburg expects a fierce battle between teams that haven’t faced each other in 20 years.

“What’s the success of this weekend? I think we’re competing with the longtime powerhouse of women’s volleyball in Texas,” Oldenburg said. “They come with a lot of experience. It’s a story show. A little unknown because there are a lot of them.They are going to be very competitive and very physical.”
Ohio State vs. Texas airs Friday on FS1. The teams will play again on Saturday at 8pm with Big Ten Network broadcasting the rematch.
