Ohio State’s National Championship Football Team to Be Honored During Monday’s Basketball Game Against Iowa

Sunday’s celebration at Ohio Stadium won’t be the only on-campus recognition for Ohio State’s national champion football team to start next week.

The national champions will be honored during Ohio State men’s basketball against Iowa at the Schottenstein Center on Monday night.

Ohio State’s national championship, Cotton Bowl and Rose Bowl trophies will also be on display in the concourse during Monday night’s game, allowing Ohio State fans to take photos alongside the trophies. Ohio State safety Caleb Downs, cornerback Jermaine Mathews Jr. and linebacker Sonny Styles will all participate in an autograph session on the concourse before the game.

Monday’s game between the Buckeyes and Hawkeyes is scheduled for an 8 p.m. tip-off and will be televised on FS1. The game will also serve as Ohio State’s annual “Coaches vs. Cancer” game; Ohio State’s coaches will wear shoes that were designed by patients at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Ohio State men’s basketball is coming off a win over No. 11 Purdue on Tuesday and will bring an 11-8 overall record (3-5 in Big Ten play) in Monday night’s contest against Iowa, which is also 3-5 in Big Ten play with a 12-7 overall record.

Ohio won’t vote on banning data centers this fall

Ohio won’t vote on banning data centers this fall

Ohioans won’t be voting on whether to ban data centers on the November ballot.

Conserve Ohio, the group working to block most data centers, announced that it would not submit the more than 413,000 signatures needed to make the fall ballot by the July 1 deadline.

But the data center opponents aren’t giving up on a constitutional amendment. They are now targeting the 2027 ballot.

“We want to make it clear: we will not be stopping. Construction won’t be stopping, so signature gathering and community action will not be stopping,” according to a Conserve Ohio statement.

The group’s decision comes after Ohio lawmakers failed to pass legislation to rein in data centers before a months-long break. Lawmakers disagreed on whether to reduce tax breaks for data centers or eliminate them entirely.

The debate over data centers in Ohio has created strange political bedfellows. Environmentalists and rural voters often oppose them, while business groups and labor unions are backing them.

Central Ohio lakes offer strong fishing for summer anglers

Central Ohio lakes offer strong fishing for summer anglers

Jane Imbody
| Lancaster Eagle-Gazette

Anglers can find strong opportunities for bass, crappie and catfish across central Ohio lakes this summer, according to a community announcement from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.

The agency highlighted several reservoirs and lakes where fish populations remain robust and accessible, while also noting the relatively low cost of fishing in the state and the availability of free fishing promotions.

Ohio residents can purchase a one-year fishing license for $25, while youth younger than 16 do not need a license. The state also offers designated Free Fishing Days during which residents can fish without purchasing a license, though size and daily limits still apply.

Lakes across region offer diverse fishing opportunities

Central Ohio’s waterways, including reservoirs, inland lakes and streams, support a range of species such as hybrid-striped bass, crappie, black bass and catfish, according to the announcement.

Griggs Reservoir in Franklin County stands out for hybrid-striped bass, which are known for aggressive strikes and strong fights. Anglers often find success watching for birds diving on baitfish near the surface, which can signal feeding schools below. Fish exceeding 20 inches are regularly caught at the reservoir. Effective techniques include using swimbaits, rattle traps and topwater lures. The daily catch limit for hybrid-striped bass is 30 fish, with no more than four exceeding 15 inches.

Crappie fishing remains strong at Deer Creek Lake, spanning Fayette and Pickaway counties. Fisheries surveys conducted in fall 2025 identified numerous large fish. Anglers are encouraged to target submerged brush or trees, or to troll small crankbaits to cover more water.

Buckeye Lake, which touches Fairfield, Licking and Perry counties, also offers consistent crappie fishing. The lake contains both white and black crappie, with strong habitat areas such as submerged woody cover around Cranberry Bog. Public access is available through multiple boat ramps and shoreline sites.

The daily limit at both Deer Creek and Buckeye Lake is 30 crappie with a minimum length requirement of 9 inches.

Bass and catfish destinations draw anglers

Alum Creek Lake in Delaware County continues to produce largemouth and smallmouth bass in high numbers and sizes, according to the announcement. Tournament catches with five-fish totals nearing 20 pounds have been recorded.

Largemouth bass are commonly found near weed beds in shallow water, typically between 3 and 10 feet deep. Smallmouth bass are more often located near rocky areas and offshore points. The reservoir has a daily limit of five bass with a minimum length of 12 inches.

Hoover Reservoir, located in Delaware and Franklin counties, remains a key location for catfish anglers, according to the community announcement. Blue catfish stocked in 2011 have grown significantly, with some approaching 50 pounds. Anglers targeting these fish often use cut bait, especially in the northern portion of the reservoir during warmer months. The daily limit allows one blue catfish measuring at least 35 inches, with no limit on smaller fish.

The reservoir also features multiple boat launches and restrictions on motor horsepower, capped at 10 horsepower for outboard motors.

Resources and recognition programs available

The Division of Wildlife offers tools such as lake maps, fishing tips and forecasts to assist anglers, according to the announcement. These resources can be accessed through the HuntFish OH mobile app or on the agency’s website at wildohio.gov.

The agency also promotes its Fish Ohio program, which recognizes anglers who catch trophy-sized fish across 26 species. Qualifying participants receive a commemorative pin for their first entry and can earn a Master Angler pin by catching four different qualifying species within a year.

This year’s commemorative pin features a channel catfish.
