On Saturday, Ohio State beat Notre Dame in thrilling fashion. The Buckeyes trailed late in the fourth quarter but scored a last-second touchdown. Chip Traynaum sealed the deal with a one-yard run that literally left one second on the clock.
Ohio State football is highly regarded, as it is ranked the sixth-best college football team in the country. At ninth, Notre Dame is nearly as touted. Thus, it is no surprise Saturday night’s game made viewership history, via Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports.
“Notre Dame-Ohio State rating [is] on par with averages for the 2023 NBA championship series (11.6 M) and 2022 MLB World Series (11.7 M) and got four times the viewership of the 2023 NHL Stanely Cup finals (2.3 M).”
The game averaged a whopping 10.5 million viewers, which ranked as NBC Sports’ second-most watched regular season college football game ever. The close matchup only made the game more appealing to watch.
Ohio State barely managed a field goal in the first half, while Notre Dame remained scoreless. The third quarter saw both teams score a touchdown before they entered a dogfight in the fourth. The anticipation of a clutch ending likely drew in more viewers, and the result did not disappoint.
The victory sets the stage for the Ohio State football program to continue its rise to the top of college football. It also makes room for more college football viewership records to be broken. Soon enough, the record for the most-watched regular season game in history will be broken. The Buckeyes will not settle for second-best as they chase a bid for the College Football Playoff.
Three sisters who are royal descendants from Ghana are letting the cameras roll on their lives here in the United States in a brand new docuseries debuting on Freeform.
It’s called ‘Royal Rules of Ohio,’ and it follows the ladies as they navigate their 20s in Columbus, the state’s capital.
We chatted with the ladies ahead of the premiere.
“My sisters and I are trying to figure out these royal rules,” said Brenda Agyekum.
“You can expect to see so much stuff, from family drama to betrayal. You will also see our Ghanaian culture.”
The Agyekums are a family of African royals. Roughly 25 years ago, they left Ghana and moved to Ohio.
They brought with them rules on how the daughters were supposed to behave as descendants of royalty.
“We are just trying to figure out life, love, and all these royal rules, but we cannot risk ruining the family name,” Brenda said.
“We play by our parent’s rules because the culture has really instilled in us how to navigate this world,” added Nana Agyekum.
“But also, we’re kind of creating our own rules. We are in our 20s. This is the time you’re supposed to discover what you like, and what you dislike.”
They say come ready to laugh.
“I think our family is just comedy,” said Brenda. “Viewers are going to love how funny we are.”
The sisters say they also get raw and real, and they show us Ohio like it’s never been seen before.
“The world isn’t ready for the Agyekums,” said Thelma Agyekum. “We’re taking over the world. I feel like it’s something the world hasn’t even seen yet, so they need to be prepared.”
‘Royal Rules of Ohio’ premieres Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. on Freeform. It also streams on Hulu.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – An area of low pressure sits over eastern Kentucky this morning and tracking east.
It will be over New Jersey this evening.
It’ll be unsettled today with scattered showers and storms.
The better potential will be late morning and through the afternoon.
The issue we have working here is that any shower or storm that pulses up will be very slow moving.
This could result in locally heavy rain in spots.
Be prepared for this threat when travelling today.
The clouds will keep things cooler with most temperatures this afternoon in the 64 to 69 degree range.
A wind off of Lake Erie will also keep things cooler closer to the water.
We have the rain threat ending this evening.
Tomorrow looks dry with a cloudy morning followed by a clearing sky by afternoon.
