The Ohio State Buckeyes’ common antagonist, Connor Stalions, made headlines once again. This time, it had nothing to do with stealing signs or pulling recruiting strings. The former Michigan man went in a more sour direction, trolling Ohio State’s lopsided basketball loss to the Michigan Wolverines and even hoped to get another dub for the Michigan man in Super Bowl 60.

On February 8, Connor Stalions took to X to troll Buckeye fans, taking a victory lap after No. 2 Michigan crushed Ohio State 82–61 in basketball on Sunday at the Value City Arena.

“I hope the thousands of Buckeye fans who showed out to support their basketball team today enjoyed their time with their families and soaked in the ‘Let’s Go Blue’ chants as they stayed till the end,” stated the tweet. “It’s honorable to sit through the final leg of an 0-6 winter 🏒 🏀 sweep to your rival, that was over by halftime.

I hope they all get back home in time to soak in the great Super Bowl matchup between Michigan Man Mike Macdonald & Buckeye great Mike Vrabel. I’m sure that one will go well for them.”

The Michigan Wolverines left no doubt from the very get-go. They were ahead for 98% of the game, eventually leading by as much as 23 points. It was a total takeover at the Buckeyes’ own arena, with 7-foot-3 center Aday Mara dropping a career-high 24 points and even sinking the first three-pointers of his college career to put the game out of reach.

Unfortunately, this win was so dominant that it marked Ohio State’s worst home loss to Michigan in 50 years. By the time the game was ending, ‘Let’s go Blue’ was the sound running through the arena.

Not only that, the controversial former Wolverine is expecting to break the Buckeye nation in the Super Bowl pick. The Super Bowl jab pits new Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald, a former Michigan assistant, against Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, an Ohio State legend. Since Michigan had just dominated Ohio State on the court, Stalions sarcastically hoped the NFL version of the rivalry would go “well” for the Buckeyes, clearly implying another Michigan-affiliated win was coming.

Notably, Stalions’ opinions often become edgy, and he made the news for a massive sign-stealing scandal where he allegedly ran a “counterintelligence” operation. His “tricks” included buying tickets to over 30 games across the Big Ten and allegedly paying people to film the opposing sidelines so he could crack their secret hand signals.

The most infamous story from his “spy” days is when he allegedly wore a disguise, including a hat and sunglasses, to sneak onto the Central Michigan sidelines during a game against Michigan State. People even spotted him in the background of historical memes after the news broke, joking that he was everywhere from the Last Supper to the JFK assassination. The NCAA eventually handed him an eight-year ban (a show-cause order) for the entire scheme.

Even after getting kicked out of college football until 2033 or so, Connor kept himself pretty busy with high school football and appearing on Barstool Sports from time to time.

He even produced a special featuring his side of the story. However, these days, he uses social media to keep the Michigan–Ohio State fire burning just for the sport of it. It’s a similar story to the Texas-Oklahoma rivalry, where modern-day bantering took a whole new level. After winning in 2025, the Texas Longhorns took to social media to tease Oklahoma. Their official X account shared a screenshot of Oklahoma’s Instagram report, joking that they were “impersonating a good football team”.

That isn’t stopping him from praying and wishing for Ohio State’s downfall, especially with Super Bowl 60 approaching.

Ohio State’s presence felt on both sides of Super Bowl LX

In today’s Super Bowl LX, there are four former Buckeyes representing Ohio State on the field and also on the sidelines. Seahawks wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba entered the game as the NFL’s leading receiver with a massive 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns during the regular season. He kept that momentum going in the playoffs, especially in the NFC Championship, where he absolutely went off for 153 yards on 10 catches.

On the Patriots’ sideline, rookie sensation TreVeyon Henderson has been a touchdown machine. He racked up 911 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns this season. The most notable figure is Mike Vrabel. He’s trying to make history today by becoming only the fifth person to win a Super Bowl as both a player and a head coach. Thayer Munford Jr. is also on the sidelines.

No matter who wins, at least one former Ohio State star is guaranteed to walk away with a championship ring tonight.
