Traffic on I-71 at standstill as Sonic Temple kicks off first day
Traffic along Interstate 71 is significantly congested as music fans make their way to the Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival. Ohio Department of Transportation traffic cameras show traffic delays as attendees make their way to Historic Crew Stadium for the four-day concert. The ODOT traffic map shows a red line from I-71 near Downtown all the way up to I-71 at Cleveland Avenue as concert attendees attempt to make their way northbound to the stadium. Dispatch photographer Adam Cairns captured the traffic standstill near the 17th Street exit on I-71 northbound. The right lane was completely stopped for at least a mile north of the fairgrounds, according to Cairns. Cairns also reported that some rideshare users were ditching their rides in the traffic standstill, choosing to walk the rest of the way to the stadium. The concert is scheduled for May 8-11 at the Historic Crew Stadium. Several well-known bands like Metallica, Linkin Park, Korn and Rob Zombie will be performing at the festival.

The band's concert at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia, attracted around 60,000 concertgoers. When Metallica played their hit "Enter Sandman," which is also a frequent entrance song for the Virginia Tech Hokies football team, the crowd's jumping and headbanging created ground tremors, according to a seismograph near the stadium. The earthquake was too minor to register on the Richter scale or be assigned a rating, according to Fox Weather.

Listen to the episode and subscribe: Subscribe: RSS | Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Ohio State women's basketball entered the NCAA Tournament field of 64 teams Friday against the Montana State Bobcats. The Big Sky champions came into Columbus after winning the regular season and conference tournament with a 30-3 record, but after a back-and-forth start to the game, Ohio State ran away in a 71-51 win. Advertisement After the game, head coach Kevin McGuff and guards Chance Gray and Jaloni Cambridge spoke with the media. Coach McGuff talked about how the Buckeyes lack of extra passes in the first quarter led to the game being so close, with six lead changes in the first half. Also, his message to the team at halftime, which led to a 15-point third quarter run that put the game away for Ohio State and the moment that led to a technical foul for the coach. Gray and Cambridge talked about what forward Cotie McMahon texted to them Friday morning and how the team responded to McGuff's second quarter technical foul and the Buckeyes' 26 forced turnovers against the Bobcats.

Check out the photos of the total lunar eclipse of a full blood moon. Submit your own pics
Early Friday morning, the Earth moved between the sun and the moon, casting its shadow on the lunar surface and turning it into a full blood moon. It was quite early in the morning, though. Like 1 a.m. early. If you were fast asleep during the lunar eclipse, do not worry, The Dispatch has you covered. Photojournalist Adam Cairns captured some remarkable shots of the unique lunar event. Take a look at the gallery above or if you are a night owl, submit your own photos of the eclipse below. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth lines up directly between the sun and the moon. The Earth's shadow, called its umbra, falls on the moon. The only light that reaches the moon during a total lunar eclipse is light from the Earth's atmosphere, which projects onto the moon and gives it its reddish hue, USA TODAY previously reported. Read More: Why don't eclipses happen every month? Moon's tilted orbit is the key. Are you one of the sleepy people this morning who stayed up to see the eclipse? We'd love to see your photos. Use the form below to sends us your best shots. NHart@ @NathanRHart This article originally appeared on The Columbus Dispatch: Photos of March 14 total lunar eclipse of the blood moon

NFL Combine: Breaking down the Big Ten standouts heading to Indianapolis
© Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The NFL Scouting Combine is right around the corner and the Big Ten will be well-represented in Indianapolis, especially by the traditional powers. Here is a look across the conference.

Nobody. The Buckeyes are coming off a national championship run by beating Notre Dame and now 15 players are heading to the combine which could only boost recruiting even more. Plus, there is a good chance at least two if not more could end up being first-round picks with OT Josh Simmons and WR Emeka Egbuka slotted there by Nate Tice in his latest mock draft on Yahoo Sports. Defensive ends JT Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer along with OL Donovan Jackson have a decent shot of going in the first round as well. Ohio State was so loaded with future NFL prospects this year that many of those top names including running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, DTs Tyleik Williams and Ty Hamilton and defensive backs Lathan Ransom and Denzel Burke won't last long in the draft, either. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH OHIO STATE FANS AT © Ben Lonergan/The Register-Guard / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Coach Dan Lanning is building a behemoth in the Pacific Northwest and the Ducks had every piece needed to win a national championship this season. A bad draw in the College Football Playoff where the Ducks had to play Ohio State in a rematch was unfortunate for them but recruiting should only be helped with a dozen players headed to the combine. Offensive lineman Josh Conerly and defensive tackle Derrick Harmon are projected by Yahoo Sports to be first-rounders and former five-star Jordan Burch should impress at the combine from a physical perspective. Whichever team drafts wide receiver Tez Johnson will be super smart because he gets open against everybody and had 77 catches this season. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH OREGON FANS AT © Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Coming off a national championship two seasons ago, Michigan went a disappointing 8-5 this season but it was largely because the Wolverines' quarterback play was so pitiful. Landing five-star QB Bryce Underwood should fix a lot of those problems. From a defensive standpoint, the Wolverines could own the first round of the NFL Draft and that should only bolster recruiting even further. Yahoo Sports has defensive tackle Mason Graham, cornerback Will Johnson, defensive tackle Kenneth Grant and tight end Colston Loveland all going in the first round. That would be a huge haul for the Wolverines and something that could give them huge recruiting momentum after a lackluster season. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH MICHIGAN FANS AT © George Walker IV / USA TODAY NETWORK / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Maybe Iowa doesn't get any first-round selections this year but the Hawkeyes can definitely sell sending seven players to the combine, which is more than every Big Ten program except for Ohio State, Oregon and Michigan. Depending on his performance in Indianapolis, Kaleb Johnson could get some serious looks in the early rounds. Who is going to bet against an Iowa running back who rushed for 1,537 yards and 21 touchdowns this season? Linebacker Jay Higgins might be a steal as well after 124 tackles and four interceptions. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH IOWA FANS AT © Matt Krohn-Imagn Images Minnesota is sending six players to the combine and that's more than a lot of blueblood programs in the conference, which could be a major selling point for coach PJ Fleck and his staff. Offensive lineman Aireontae Ersery should be a fringe first-rounder. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH MINNESOTA FANS AT © Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images In the constant recruiting battles of the Mid-Atlantic where Maryland is trying to stave off Penn State and others, the Terrapins are sending as many players to Indianapolis as the Nittany Lions. Wide receivers Tai Felton and Kaden Prather should get major attention. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH MARYLAND FANS AT © Joe Rondone/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images A team that made it to the College Football final four is only sending five players to Indianapolis? It's actually good news for the Nittany Lions since so many elite players are coming back next season for another run at the national title. Defensive end Abdul Carter and tight end Tyler Warren are near-locks in the first round. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH PENN STATE FANS AT © Robert Hanashiro-Imagn Images In the never-ending battle to keep local talent home, UCLA has five players headed to the combine while USC only has three. That is something coach DeShaun Foster on his staff can use when hitting high schools in Southern California. Linebacker Carson Schwesinger might not be a first-rounder but he had 136 tackles this season and that will draw attention. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH UCLA FANS AT © Dylan Widger-Imagn Images Nebraska probably won't have any first-rounders but defensive lineman Ty Robinson could intrigue a lot of decision-makers at the combine with his physical prowess and seven sacks (12.5 tackles for loss) this season. Tight end Thomas Fidone has been marred by injuries but he was under five-star consideration once. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH NEBRASKA FANS AT © Dale Young-Imagn Images The Scarlet Knights won't put anybody in the first round but having more combine attendees than USC, Wisconsin and Indiana is something to brag about on the recruiting trail. Running back Kyle Monangai could have a bright NFL future after rushing for 1,279 yards and 13 TDs this season. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH RUTGERS FANS AT © Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Only three USC players are headed to the combine with defensive back Jaylin Smith one to watch because he could impress during drills. More Trojans should be headed to Indianapolis soon as receivers Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane have NFL futures. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH USC FANS AT Dan Sanger/ Wisconsin had 30 former players on NFL rosters this season but only three players are headed to Indianapolis. Still, safety Hunter Wohler is as solid as they come and who's betting against a Wisconsin offensive lineman? SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH WISCONSIN FANS AT © Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Coach Curt Cignetti did some amazing work in Year 1 at Indiana taking the Hoosiers to the College Football Playoff but he's not a miracle worker as just two players are headed to the combine. Defensive tackle CJ West is projected in the early rounds and transfer quarterback Kurtis Rourke had his best of six college seasons at IU this year so he could be a late-round pick. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH INDIANA FANS AT Note: Illinois (WR Pat Bryant), Purdue (OL Marcus Mbow) and Washington (LB Carson Bruener) all have one player going to the combine. Michigan State and Northwestern have none.
