On April 14, 2025, the National Championship Buckeyes paid a traditional but, under the circumstances, ill-advised visit to the White House. Widely disliked Trump VP, Ohio State alum, and awkward weirdo J.D. Vance fumbled and broke the National Championship trophy. Campus opinion was unforgiving. J.D.'s political career in Ohio is over. (A few days later J.D. visited the Pope and he died a few hours later.)

The undefeated 1926 City League Champion North High School football team posing in front of their new school. The Polar Bears not only defeated all their rivals but held each and every one scoreless. The next year, North opened its new athletic field on the east side of the school--one of the handsomest in the city and still in use today.
