Shout out to the 375 fans who were at the OSU Ice Rink to see the Ohio State women’s hockey team beat Minnesota State 3-0 on Saturday evening. Traffic on Lane Avenue was a bear. We know.

Kudos to the OSU women (20-12-2), who are ranked No. 9 in nation. Next up: No. 2 Wisconsin in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association semifinals.

Shout out to the 9,322 who were at Value City Arena to see the Ohio State men’s hockey team play Michigan State. The Buckeyes (20-9-5) lost their regular-season finale, but kudos to them nonetheless.

They are ranked No. 7 in the nation. They won the Big Ten regular-season title. Next up: Conference tournament semifinals, opponent TBD.

We’re up to 9,697 shout-outs, and we’re just warming up.

Shout out to the 17,931 fans who showed up at Mapfre Stadium to watch the Crew’s 1-1 tie with the New York Red Bulls on Saturday evening. Traffic on 4th Street was a bear. We know.

It was the earliest home opener in franchise history and, man, it was cold. It was a dry cold, sure, but the wind. … A few internet trolls sniped at Columbus for not quite filling the old stadium for the Crew’s first game of the Edwards-Haslam ownership era. Snipe away. Those who jammed the Megatailgate party to celebrate the rebirth of the franchise are, at this point, pretty much troll-proof.

Some of the most stalwart Save the Crew partisans were at their usual “minitailgate” area on the banks on a dry culvert known as “Stank Lake.” They’ve stashed their pitchforks and doused their torches. All they do now is hug, and maybe raise a toast or two. Don’t mess with Columbus.

Dee and Jimmy Haslam got their first taste of the Joy of the Mob when they approached the Nordecke before the opening kick. You could see the future in their beaming smiles. Yeah, tailgated.

Shout out to the 18,628 — another standing-room crowd — at Nationwide Arena for the Blue Jackets-Edmonton Oilers game Saturday afternoon. Traffic on John H. McConnell Boulevard was a bear. We know.

Hang in there.

The Jackets got their padded shorts whipped by Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Zack Kassian. Final was 4-0. Oof.

The Jackets loaded up at the Feb. 25 trade deadline, added forwards Matt Duchene and Ryan Dzingel, among others, and (shout out) drew 89,689 to Nationwide Arena over a five-game homestand. They went 2-3 — got outscored 14-4 in the three losses — and fell below the playoff line.

This is the best Jackets team ever assembled. Show the fans a little something, eh?

We’re up to 46,256 shout-outs for Saturday, and we’re only half-finished — if we count the Arnold, and we probably should. The Arnold Sports Festival is, as they like to say, “the largest multi-sports event in the world.”

It’s not everyone’s favorite thing, but, like Arnold himself, it is something large. More than 20,000 athletes from 60 nations converged on Downtown. The intersection of High Street and Nationwide Boulevard was beyond a bear. We know.

The Arnold peaked on Saturday with the 31st Arnold Classic bodybuilding competition at Battelle Grand hall. Oiled pecs are, of course, just one of the slickly manufactured events during Governator Week. There are competitions for almost anything you can think of, from Viking Dash Trail Runs to Speed Cubing (as in Rubik’s).

The Arnold on Saturday drew an estimated 60,000 attendees — contestants, vendors, spectators, spandex emergency workers and so forth — to the Convention Center.

We’re up to more than 100,000 shout-outs. For Saturday sports in Columbus, Ohio.

“Oh, and don’t forget we also had two (OHSAA) state championships going on — bowling and gymnastics,” said Linda Logan, executive director for the Greater Columbus Sports Commission.

She was the traffic cop, so to speak, on Saturday.

“Like we say, there is no offseason in Columbus,’” Logan said. “But (Saturday) was special. Just the diversity of events and the way they were all supported — it shows the stature and the energy of this city. And we’re still growing … ”

Mayor Ginther, it’s time for a subway.
