Why Ohio Will Win
Oh would this be candy for the Ohio program.
4 occasions the bridesmaid however by no means the bride within the MAC Championship, Ohio turned identified for constant excellence underneath Frank Solich, but it surely might by no means fairly recover from the hump and win the factor.
Japanese Michigan and Kent State are the one different MAC packages that haven’t received the championship sport but.
Successor Tim Ablin was supposed to maintain all of it going, however the 3-9 2021 season and 2-3 begin wasn’t precisely confidence-inspiring.
After which all of it kicked in.
Ohio is right here with an opportunity at successful its first MAC Championship sport as a result of the offense exploded, the passing sport was wonderful, and the protection made up for a slew of points with heaps and many takeaways.
The staff is +13 on the 12 months in turnover margin, the operating sport is nice sufficient to steadiness issues out over the previous couple of weeks, and now all of it will get a semi-reeling Toledo staff that misplaced its final two video games and three of the final 5 helped by an entire bunch of turnovers.
They weren’t an issue over the primary half of the 12 months, after which issues bought ugly with six within the loss to Buffalo has a part of a run of 16 given up during the last 5 video games.

Why Toledo Will Win
Oh would this be candy for the Toledo program.
It’s gone 13 seasons and not using a shedding marketing campaign, however there’s at all times been that one misfire right here and there that saved ruining shot after shot on the MAC title. The lone exception was the 2017 MAC Championship underneath Jason Candle, however that wasn’t the springboard it seemed to be on the time.
Getting it performed this time could be an enormous second for Candle. It wouldn’t put him again within the Subsequent Huge Factor class of coaches, but it surely wouldn’t damage.
After a 12 months with a tough late collapse at San Diego State, a 77-21 loss at Ohio State, and a rocky ending kick with no consistency by any means, this one sport would make all the things okay.
The massive performs are there, however the accuracy with the passing sport isn’t. That’s okay. Maintain throwing it and finally all the things will open up in opposition to the nation’s worst cross protection.
Ohio permits over 300 passing yards per sport with 200 or extra in each sport however the win over Northern Illinois. On the flip aspect, the Bobcat offense misplaced heart-and-soul star QB Kurtis Rourke for the season simply earlier than the finale. The 196 passing yards final week in opposition to Bowling Inexperienced had been the fewest exterior of the blowout loss to Penn State.

What’s Going To Occur
Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers.
Toledo is 1-5 when giving it away a number of occasions – the lone win over Japanese Michigan was a 27-24 proper – and 6-0 when it doesn’t.
Ohio will hand over a ton of yards, but it surely’ll make up for it by producing these two takeaways it’ll want. No, the offense received’t have the ability to throw like Toledo will, however the operating sport will get sufficient to take management when the cross protection wants a break after getting roasted.
By the best way, the USA World Cup showdown with The Netherlands needs to be near over simply as this will get began – except it goes into further time. If this will get right into a shootout, it’ll be halftime earlier than the enjoyable is over in Doha.

Ohio’s first Zaxby’s is coming to Greater Cincinnati
Zaxby’s, a popular fried chicken chain, is getting its first Ohio location in Liberty Township.
A 56-seat Zaxby’s restaurant and drive-thru is planned to open at Freedom Pointe, next to Costco. The development, which was initially planned to be a hotel, will also house three other eateries: E+O Kitchen, which has locations at The Banks, Hyde Park and Loveland; Bismarck Donut and Coffee Shop and El Rancho Grande, said Christy Gloyd, Liberty Township’s marketing and events manager.
Costco opened near Interstate 75 on Cox Road in 2022. Construction on the new restaurants starts this summer, Gloyd said.
“We’re just really excited to be growing over there at Freedom Pointe,” she told The Enquirer. “Having Costco as the anchor is huge. Just to have another family-friendly restaurant and have the variety – to have the Zaxby’s and E+O and El Rancho Grande – I think it’s really going to be a nice offering for our residents.”
Atlanta-headquartered Zaxby’s has over 900 locations in 17 states, mostly in the South and Midwest. The chain is known for its chicken fingers and wings, sandwiches and salads. The closest Zaxby’s locations currently open are over an hour away, in Shelbyville, Indiana and Louisville, Kentucky.

Don’t tell Jolene. Dolly Parton license plate now available in Ohio
Sales for license plates featuring Dolly Parton’s face began Monday for $25. All proceeds will go to fund her Imagination Library

The Columbus Dispatch
Fans of country music legend Dolly Parton can show off their pride for the singer with a new Ohio license plate.
Ohio drivers can now purchase license plates featuring Parton for $25. The money from each plate will go to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Ohio, a charity that gives children ages 5 and younger a free book each month. The state began selling the plates Monday.
Specifically, the funds will go to the purchaser’s local county program of the library, which it says will pay for mailing a child 12 books, enough for an entire year. Ohio is the second state to offer a license plate supporting the library after Parton’s home state of Tennessee.
First lady Fran DeWine has focused on expanding the Imagination Library in Ohio since her husband Gov. Mike DeWine took office in 2019. She was inspired when she saw her grandchildren receive books through the program and by 2020, it had expanded to all of Ohio’s 88 counties.
“I’m excited to see Ohio as the second state to offer a specialty Dolly Parton license plate to support her program, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, in Ohio,” Fran DeWine said in a press release. “With each purchase, $25 will go back to supporting the local program, helping to ensure the program remains available to all families in Ohio.”
The plates are available to purchase online at OPlates.com or in-person at a local deputy registrar license agency.
Gov. DeWine signed House Bill 315 which included the Parton Plates on Jan. 2. The original bill, sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio, D-Lakewood, received unanimous yes votes in both chambers before the license plate language was put into the larger HB 315.
