Yeti has rolled out a limited-edition Ohio State water bottle that leans all the way into Buckeyes branding, wrapping the school’s scarlet and gray look around the full container instead of confining it to one panel.
The 26-ounce Rambler is part of Yeti’s new Collegiate Fandom Collection and carries a $60 price tag. Its digitally printed wraparound design gives it a 360-degree team look, making the bottle feel less like a simple colorway and more like a full-on Ohio State piece.
Functionally, it comes built with a TripleHaul Handle and Chug Cap. The handle twists off to reveal a shatter-resistant drinking spout, while removing the cap entirely opens up a wide mouth for filling and cleaning. Yeti says the bottle is made from 18/8 stainless steel and uses double-wall vacuum insulation to keep drinks cold.
The Ohio State version is a limited production run, and Yeti says it will go away once the current inventory is gone.
It’s one of 12 college football-themed bottles in the collection. The other schools included are Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech.
The bottle is dishwasher safe, and Yeti also says it can be paired with a separately sold Rambler bottle straw cap that costs $15.
Fans who’ve already picked it up seem to like the blend of school pride and everyday use. One reviewer said, “It is a great way to show your team spirit and keep your coffee warm during the cold game weather.”
Another called it an “excellent product” and said they liked its size and the way it helps them represent their team.

Urban Meyer Sees Ohio State Texas Coming Down To One Big Play
Urban Meyer isnt treating Ohio States trip to Texas like a heavyweight mismatch. The former Buckeyes coach called the Week 2 showdown a coin toss after both teams opened the season in impressive fashion, and he pointed to the quarterbacks as the center of it all, with Julian Sayin and Arch Manning expected to carry much of the spotlight when the game kicks off on ABC.
Austin adds another layer to a matchup that already feels like it could swing on a single mistake or a single burst of execution. Texas has been tough at home, and Meyer made clear that the environment will matter, which only raises the stakes for Ohio State as it heads into one of the biggest early-season games on the calendar with little separating the two teams.

Ohio State Heads To Texas With One Early Concern Looming
Texas opened the season with a win over Texas State and now turns its attention to a Week 2 home game against Ohio State, a matchup that already carries plenty of early-season intrigue. The Buckeyes, meanwhile, are coming off their own opener against Ball State and will be trying to settle in on both sides of the ball after making changes along the offensive line and defense.
One of the first things Ohio State will have to monitor in Austin is Texas health on defense and in the backfield. Running back Derrek Cooper is expected to miss the game after an ankle injury, and safety Yaheim Riley also did not dress in the opener, leaving the Longhorns with some uncertainty to sort through before the Buckeyes arrive.

Ohio State Faces One Big Jeremiah Smith Question Against Texas
Ohio State has already seen what happens when Jeremiah Smith is held in check against Texas, and it has still found a way to win those matchups anyway. Even so, the Buckeyes are treating the upcoming meeting as a chance to change the script, with Ryan Day and quarterback Julian Sayin both acknowledging how much Smith can tilt a game when he is featured properly. With new coordinators on both sides, there is at least some expectation that the chess match will look different this time around.
For Smith, the challenge is familiar: Texas has made life difficult, and Ohio State has not yet gotten the kind of sustained production from its star receiver that it would prefer in this series. The Buckeyes know they cannot keep leaving that part of the offense to chance, especially with the stakes rising and the defense across from them still built to limit explosive plays. The question now is whether Ohio State can finally get Smith rolling early enough to make Texas pay for focusing elsewhere. [Read more 🡒]
