You may find that work, school, or other obligations keep you from focusing on Twitter the way you should. Thankfully for you, I'm able to tune out those distractions and provide you with a weekly rundown of the best tweets from around campus.
It's that time where you spend far too much time watching YouTube videos of last year's highlights, staring the depth chart trying to get a grasp of what the team will look like next year, and arguing with random strangers on the internet over which young wide receiver is going to be a future star (it's K.J. Hill, btw).
The off-season sucks, and there's not much I can do to make real, on-field football come any faster. I can, however, help you pass the time by collecting the best tweets of the week for you to enjoy. Afterall, you do pay top dollar for this content, even in the off-season. I have to give you your money's worth.
Heading straight from an entourage movie to a rookie meeting about not having entourages or wild parties or fancy cars and houses. Irony

B1G Championship? Nah. Sugar Bowl win? Nah. National Championship? Nah. The happiest Cardale Jones has ever been in his life is when Chipotle' finally interacted with him on Twitter. Chipotle', I'm not trying to tell you how to run your business, but as a marketing major I feel qualified to say that if you don't sign Cadale Jones to an endorsement deal the moment he declares for the draft, you're doing everything wrong.

Honestly it doesn't matter what round I get drafted. Just to be able to do what I love everyday on the highest level is a blessing in itself
— Tyvis Powell (@1Tyvis) May 19, 2015
Tyvis Powell is my favorite Buckeye on the team currently and it's really not close at all. That's kind of irrelevant to anything else in this post, but I just wanted to put that on record.
Jamarco Jones is the reincarnation of Biggie Smalls.

100$ for a haircut, this can't be a habit

The scary thing is... It actually can. $100 has officially become pocket change for Patient Zero.
I asked DAngelo Russell about defending the elite guards in the @NBA. He replied, Those guys have to guard me also.

@Linsley71 that is a new version of the award for the nations smallest center. I think I have a chance in that category

For context, he was referring to the news that he's been named to the watch-list for the Rimington Trophy which is given to the nation's best center.

Whenever I wore a suit I was referred to as Mr. Lee, not Darron

Ezekiel Elliott Trolls That Team Up North
If you were ever look at mentions of the higher profile players on Twitter (Braxton, Zeke, Cardale, and Joey Bosa), you'd see some pretty dumb people (like this guy). The great thing about these guys is from time to time they actually interact with those people. When this happens, it makes my job very easy because it's always hilarious. This week, it was Zeke trolling Michigan fans.
(Warning: Michigan Men sometimes direct expletives at 19 year old kids who beat their team in football)
Zeke started the battle with this...
Looks about right pic.twitter.com/BswrgQ9p84
— EzekielElliott#15 (@EzekielElliott) May 16, 2015
Then he started to get responses like this...
I have a huge turd stuck to the bottom of my toilet. Looks exactly like @EzekielElliott
— Scott Schad (@w0lverine_fan) May 16, 2015
To which Zeke responded with...
It have a national championship ring and two pair of gold pants ? https://t.co/3mG9P2Nsf9
— EzekielElliott#15 (@EzekielElliott) May 16, 2015
But the Michigan fans kept coming...
@EzekielElliott our coach is cooler than yours pic.twitter.com/Qf9vu9hLwC
— The Arab Keith Sweat (@JabrielFarha) May 16, 2015
Zeke's response:
Cool coaches bring home the big trophies https://t.co/lktBoLCrci
— EzekielElliott#15 (@EzekielElliott) May 16, 2015
Slidddeeeeee out my mentions lol
— EzekielElliott#15 (@EzekielElliott) May 16, 2015
When your team can't win football games your fans resort to "you can't even get into our school"
— EzekielElliott#15 (@EzekielElliott) May 16, 2015
But it didn't stop there.
@JabrielFarha @EzekielElliott oh is this him..Looks like he got eaten by wolverines to me.... Did he ever make it out pic.twitter.com/08bNpz6oL0

this week's winner of twitter
Speaking of high profile players interacting with people in their mentions...

You look like the dad off of Family Matters. https://t.co/mj1uZAsdaQ
— BRAXTON MILLER (@BraxtonMiller5) May 19, 2015
So what's the verdict? I think he's hilariously spot on.
Braxton also got the win because he really only tweets a couple of times a month. So if one of those few tweets is comparing a guy in his mentions Carl on Family Matters, he's going to get the win. Also, it was suggested to me by someone that Braxton should get the win this week for this tweet. So if you really care enough to make a suggestion, chances are I'll listen.
Follow Friday
- Michael Thomas @cantguardmike
- Tom Orr @TomOrr4 -Tom is the first member of "Ohio State Twitter" I ever followed like 6 years ago. He basically introduced me to the concept of constantly talking about the Buckeyes on the interweb (so you have him to blame). He's still probably my favorite follow. He's an incredibly clever guy and has an uncanny ability to troll the hell out of Michigan fans (when I say uncanny, I mean uncanny. It's almost like a superpower).
