This Week in Twitter is a look at some of the week's best and most entertaining tweets from Buckeyeland and beyond.

Big Ten basketball coaches were asked to draw the logos of their favorite NBA teams. Chris Holtmann will stick to coaching.

Former Buckeyes wide receiver and Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes shared had some strong feelings on turf after Jameson Williams tore his ACL during Monday night's College Football Playoff championship game. 

Another former Buckeye, defensive lineman Robert Landers, showed some love to his former college teammate, wide receiver Terry McLaurin, after the latter became the first Washington Football Team player with back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons since the mid-90s.

Tim Walton is returning to Ohio State as the Buckeyes’ new cornerbacks coach. Walton played for the Buckeyes in the mid-90s, when Ohio State was already establishing itself as “DBU.”

All-American safety Mike Doss was announced as an inductee for the College Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2022.

Two former Ohio State men’s basketball standouts shared an NBA court for the first time this week. 

Meanwhile, in the Madden universe, Ohio State was added to the game's signature Campus Legends package. Not a bad roster with names such as these on there...

As far as current Buckeyes go, Jaxon Smith-Njigba's hype continues to grow (although Smith-Njigba actually had 1,606 receiving yards in 2021).

Dawand Jones, an Indiana native, poked some fun at Indiana's head coach Tom Allen after asking a question about mascot names this week. 

Javontae Jean-Baptiste also has some questions for the incoming freshmen, but maybe on a more abstract level.

Now to potential future Buckeyes: Will Smith Jr., a 2023 defensive lineman from Dublin Coffman High School, received an offer from his late father's alma mater this week. 

On the hoops side, Buckeyes commit Bruce Thornton made some late-game magic in game one of a weekend tournament.

Finally, SEC provocateur and polarizing commentator Paul Finebaum took a subtle jab at Michigan when discussing which tradition-rich program's national championship drought will next come to an end, following in Georgia's footsteps.

As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
