Champs 👑

[Howard] was so good that LeBron named him the MVP of the game…

After a decade-long drought, Ohio State Football has won the 2025 National Championship. The Buckeyes took down Notre Dame 34-23 and cemented themselves as the best team in college football.

Notre Dame vs. Ohio State was a big deal because they have two of the biggest bandwagon fan bases in college football. That was very evident during the college football championship game as the cameras frequently cut to Lakers superstar LeBron James and Phillies superstar Bryce Harper decked out in Ohio State gear going crazy during the game.

For those who don’t know, LeBron didn’t go to college and he definitely doesn’t have any connection to Ohio State outside of the fact that he’s from Ohio. Despite that, he’s been repping Ohio State for years. The one that’s even weirder is Harper.

He’s from Las Vegas, didn’t go to college, and has never played for an Ohio team. However, his wife Kayla played soccer there so he adopted them as his team. Look, I always find it weird when people are fans of college teams they didn’t go to. I used to be a big USC guy until I went to a college that doesn’t have a football team so I’m stuck in limbo. Now, if you didn’t even go to college I guess it’s OK to root for a team you have some connection with.

Big Night for OSU Fans

Regardless of the specifics of fandom, it’s gotta feel good to be an Ohio State fan right now. College football news was ready to declare head coach Ryan Day as a dead man walking but he finally got the team over the hump.

Ohio State is consistently one of the best football programs in the country so they’ve worked hard to bring home another national championship. Quarterback Will Howard deserves a lot of credit. He’s not going to be a first-round pick and he wasn’t a Heisman Trophy finalist but he has a massive game against Notre Dame.

He completed 17-of-21 passes and threw two touchdowns. He also played very clean football. He was so good that LeBron named him the MVP of the game and that’s something Bryce Harper would probably agree with.
