By Tyler Reed

It's a good Wednesday morning, and we've got plenty of news to talk about. But I wonder what the biggest story in sports is right now?
Could it be the NFL roster cuts? Or maybe it's something to do with a player known as "The Big Dumper" hitting dingers. No, we all know what brought us here today, so let's get to it.

Here is the Wednesday Roundup.
Wildest Dreams
On Tuesday, there was a moment when I saw nearly every person I follow on Instagram share a story from their profile. It didn't take me long to figure out why.

He Said, She Said
I want Michigan vs Ohio to mean something again. And I love the people of Columbus outside the football team they root for. Good clean hardworking people. So I am going to give Buckeye Nation free advice. Stop pointing the finger. Look in the mirror. Get better. Get tougher. https://t.co/ZltE91GVtn pic.twitter.com/MLmnMkZI4q

Ohio State denies reports that they denied Dave Portnoy from entering the stadium in their season opener on Saturday.
However, the damage is already done. Portnoy is diving into this full force, and we will never know the truth, which I'm okay with. This sport needs hatred like this.
