The vice president is being widely mocked online (again) after fumbling the College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy
At a ceremony honoring the winners, the Ohio State Buckeyes, JD Vance could be seen picking up the award only for it to collapse in his hands. Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson attempted to help lift the trophy, but was unable stop Vance from dropping the base, sparking gasps from the crowd.

Henderson and another player held onto the metal section of the trophy, narrowly preventing it from also falling, as Vance bent over to pick up the base and reattach it. Finally, he was able to get his photo op.
The trophy, designed by Pentagram and made by UAP Polich Tallix, features an actual-size football design made from 24k gold, bronze, and stainless steel, according to the College Football Playoff website. The metal trophy is 26.5 inches tall, and the bronze base with a black patina finish is 12 inches high, towering over three feet and weighing over 50 pounds.
The two sections can be detached, as the website explains, "the trophy and base are two integral but separate pieces, so the trophy may be lifted up independently when it is awarded each year following the national championship game."
As if dropping the trophy wasn't already enough, Vance, a graduate of Ohio State, joked afterwards in a post on X: "I didn't want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy so I decided to break it."

Social media users quickly piled on Vance's tweet, as well as other clips of his blunder that have been making their rounds online. Here are some of our favorite reactions — and of course, memes.

WATCH: Ohio State football player, staffer compete in three-point shooting contest
WATCH: Ohio State football player, staffer compete in three-point shooting contest In case you haven't noticed, the Ohio State football program is passing the time during a slow summer by competing in some "June Olympics." It's a competition of different athletic competitions between the OSU staff and the players, and so far it's been a hoot to watch it all go down. The staff got out to an early lead, but the players won three events in a row to take a 3-1 lead before the older guys trimmed the lead to 3-2. And now, after the latest event, a three-point shooting contest between OSU staffer Matt Guerrieri and wide receiver Bryson Rodgers, things are all tied up. That's because Guerrieri battled through some suspect shots to bury the one that mattered, giving the staff the win and even the competition at 3-3. If you missed any of the action, get a look at the cliff notes version of what went down on the courts of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. We're not sure when these June Olympics are over, or how many events there are, but it's fun to watch and keep up with, so we'll do our best to stay on top of it. We say, go old guys.

LOOK: Recruiting film of Ohio State's latest commitment, Khary Wilder
LOOK: Recruiting film of Ohio State's latest commitment, Khary Wilder The Ohio State football team got another commitment for its 2026 recruiting class on Tuesday night when 4-star edge rusher Khary Wilder announced his pledge to the Buckeyes. It was Larry Johnson's first commitment in the class, one that OSU hopes will yield more top-tier talent on the defensive line. We track every Ohio State commitment as they happen, but we also like to grab game film and share some highlights of what the next batch of OSU recruits might bring to the banks of the Olentangy. Wilder is ranked as the No. 248 prospect in the class and 23rd edge player in the cycle according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, but if the Buckeyes wanted to lock him in, you can bet on them seeing even more than what the recruiting services see. Here's a look at Wilder's junior high school highlights thanks to the fine folks at Hudl. In the film, you'll see him play both on the edge and on the interior, but he'll more than likely be developed as a defensive end at Ohio State. The ability to get off the ball with a quick first step is evident on the film. We'll continue to keep tabs on what Ohio State is doing as it lands more commitments in the 2026 class, so check back often to stay up to speed on what should be another dynamite crop of players.

Ohio State 2026 Big Ten baseball schedule released on Wednesday
Ohio State 2026 Big Ten baseball schedule released on Wednesday It was nowhere near the baseball season the folks around Ohio State were hoping for. The Buckeyes finished 13-37 overall and won just five of 30 Big Ten games. OSU did get an 11-10 walk-off win to end head coach Justin Hare's first season, but it was one of transition and uncertainty. Hopefully, next season is a much better one. The College Baseball World Series might be just now getting underway in Omaha, but that didn't stop the Big Ten from releasing the 2026 Big Ten baseball schedule on Wednesday. We won't get into all eighteen teams and who they will play, but we assume you are interested in what the conference schedule looks like for the boys next season. Here's how it all lays out for next spring. All dates and series are three-game sets: Friday, March 6 through Sunday, March 8: vs. UCLA (Columbus, OH) Friday, March 13 through Sunday, March 15: at Washington (Seattle, WA) Friday, March 27 through Sunday, March 30: at Minnesota (Minneapolis, MN) Friday, April 3 through Sunday, April 5: vs. Maryland (Columbus, OH) Friday, April 10 through Sunday, April 12: vs. Penn State (Columbus, OH) Friday, April 17 through Sunday, April 19: at Purdue (West Lafayette, IN) Friday, April 24 through Sunday, April 26: at Rutgers (Piscataway, NJ) Friday, May 1 through Sunday, May 3: vs. Nebraska (Columbus, OH) Friday, May 8 through Sunday, May 10: vs. Michigan State (Columbus, OH) Thursday, May 14 through Saturday, May 16: at Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI) The nonconference part of the schedule has yet to be released. That will come to a media outlet near you at a later date. When it does, we'll bring it to you.
