Ohio State-Texas Matchup Receives Major Hype From Former Alabama QB
Had the Ohio State Buckeyes and Texas Longhorns gotten together under normal circumstances, it would have been a marquee game no matter what. It’s a huge game. There’s no doubt about it.
These aren’t normal circumstances, though. First of all, this 2025 matchup is going to happen in Week 1, so the anticipation is going to be through the roof. There’s also the fact that this game is a big-time rematch of one of last season’s College Football Playoff semifinals.
In that game, No. 8 Ohio State beat No. 5 Texas, 28-14, in the Cotton Bowl. The Buckeyes went on to win the whole CFP.
For these reasons and more, former Alabama quarterback turned college football analyst Greg McElroy believes this Texas-OSU matchup the top nonconference game of this upcoming 2025 season.
“It’s going to be an incredible game,” McElroy recently said on his “Always College Football” show (h/t On3). Two new quarterbacks that are [a] very, very highly anticipated debut. Julian Sayin, more than likely for Ohio State and we already know it’s Arch Manning for the Texas Longhorns. Both teams have hopes of winning a national championship. And a big win in Week 1 against one of the best teams in the sport should propel them and give them great momentum to take on the rest of their regular-season opponents. That is, by far, the best game in the nonconference here in the 2025 season.”
There are several exciting games scheduled this season in the nonconference slate. LSU plays Clemson to kick off the season and that game is going to feature a battle between two Heisman-hopefuls in quarterbacks Garrett Nussmeier (LSU) and Cade Klubnik (Clemson).
Michigan barely ever plays good competition early in the season, but the Wolverines will be heading to Norman to take on the Oklahoma Sooners in early September. Notre Dame and Texas A&M will be playing a rematch of their kickoff game from last season. The Fighting Irish, of course, lost to Ohio State in the CFP Championship game.
These are all big games, but none carry the gravitas of the defending national champions and their new quarterback taking on potentially the biggest contender to the crown and their new quarterback.
The hype will be real, and McElroy is right. It should be an incredible game.
Another state is jumping into the fray to put the brakes on non-domiciled CDLs, with roughly 5,000 commercial drivers in Ohio facing the potential of having their licenses downgraded.
On Friday, May 29, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced it would be contacting approximately 5,000 non-domiciled CDL holders to verify the status of their credentials under updated rules from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
According to the Bureau, non-domiciled license holders in the state will receive one of two notices, depending on the type of documentation they initially used to obtain their CDL.
For drivers whose documentation meets current FMCSA standards, their licenses will remain valid until their expiration date. For those who do not meet current standards, the process is a bit more complicated.
As for CDL holders whose original documents do not meet current FMCSA guidelines, they will receive a notice of downgrade, and their CDLs will be downgraded to a Class D license 30 days after receiving the notice.
Drivers who receive a downgrade notice can request a hearing with the BMV to dispute the downgrade, and can provide additional documentation to prove their eligibility. According to the Bureau, those documents include:
- An unexpired Employment Authorization Document issued by USCIS, valid on the most recent CDL/CLP issuance date
- An unexpired foreign passport with an unexpired USCIS I‑94 form, both of which must be valid on your most recent CDL/CLP issuance date
Officials said the Ohio BMV has not issued or renewed any non-domiciled CDLs since FMCSA put new standards in place in 2025, and that it does not intend to resume issuing non-domiciled CDLs in the future. Additionally, the BMV will not renew revalidated non-domiciled CDLs after they expire.
All notices will be sent by mail to the address listed on file with the Ohio BMV. The Bureau emphasized that the reverification process does not apply to full CDL holders or CDL holders with legally established permanent residence. LL

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — A Central Ohio family has filed a lawsuit against a Hilliard funeral home after their mother was accidentally cremated, despite plans for her to be buried.
According to court documents, Tidd Funeral Home cremated Nancy Anders in June of last year against the family’s wishes. The lawsuit states Anders died a week earlier in May.
The family says Anders had planned and prepaid for funeral arrangements two years before her death to be buried with her late husband. The arrangements did not include cremation because, the family says, she did not believe in the concept.
The lawsuit says the family was told a week after her death that she had been accidentally cremated. It also accuses Tidd Funeral Home of cremating her even though the proper authorization form was never signed.
The family says they have suffered physical illness and emotional trauma and are seeking $25,000 in damages. They are also asking for the case to be decided by a jury.
ABC 6 reached out to the funeral home for comment but had not heard back.
