For those of you who need something to fight strangers bout online today, E.J. Liddell's got you covered.

Word of the Day: Halcyon.

 OKAY, ZACH HARRISON. Well, it looks like I'm officially on the Zach Harrison hype train, for reasons that should be extremely apparent with just a quick glance at the following photo.

Dude would already top my list of the freakiest athlete on the team at 6-foot-6, 265 pounds with a cool 4.5-secondish 40-yard-dash, now you're gonna make his upper body look like He-Man? That shouldn't be legal.

Then you've got Ryan Day out here saying things like "he just has a different look in his eye," and I'm now pretty sure simply playing quarterback in the Big Ten in the year 2021 will be worthy of hazard pay.

 GET ON THE TRAIN. If Ohio State's going to go deep in the tournament, it's going to be because Duane Washington Jr. caught fire. So why not give him his own pre-tourney hype video?

My biggest fear this postseason is that he could be playing his way into the NBA Draft, which kind of ruins my plans for Ohio State's death machine of a team next year. But if he can drop 25 points a game in the tournament, I'll gladly let him announce his departure with the Final Four nets around his neck.

 YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION. If you haven't been following, Penn State's entire basketball team pretty much imploded after the school announced the hiring of new head coach Micah Shrewsberry, who is not a Dr. Seuess character.

Five players – four starters and one bench player – are currently in the transfer portal, and it seems Ohio State is interested in at least one of them.

My esteemed intern who makes more money than I do, Colin Hass-Hill (who you should follow on the bird website), tells me that this fellow has the 10th-best offensive-rebounding rate and fourth-best free-throw rate in the country, and leads the Big Ten in both categories.

So uh... sign me up.

 SIGNED ON THE LINE. It wasn't that long ago Kelsey Mitchell was the most prolific scorer in college basketball. Now, she's doing her thing at the next level, and getting rewarded for it with a new contract.

Kelsey's rookie year was admittedly rocky, but now she's back to Actually Good, finishing the 2020 season as the No. 6 scorer in all the WNBA.

 NOT STICKING TO SPORTS. An astrophotographer has released a photo of the Milky Way that took him nearly 12 years to create... Everyone should get a burner phone number... The mystery of 'lost' rock genius Lee Mavers... A woman saved a McDonald's cheeseburger and fries for 17 years to see what would happen... Why exercise won't help you lose weight and what actually works... Drawing a line to a forgotten serial killer...
