Buckeyes have some social media fun at ESPYs
While the Ohio State Buckeyes didn't win the ESPY award for Best Team - the U.S. Women's National Team won that honor - the student-athletes still managed to have some fun Wednesday night.
Buckeye quarterback Cardale Jones, known for having some fun on Twitter, started the night off by revealing his crush on MMA star Ronda Rousey. Rousey won two ESPYs, one for best fighter and one of best female athlete.
Is it weird that I have a crush on @RondaRousey and scared of her at the same time ?

Jones then proceeded to ask Rousey what she was doing after the show, only to realize she could probably beat him up.
Soooooooo @RondaRousey what you doing after the show?

@RondaRousey but if you already talking to a UFC fighter I'm cool ?

He then moved onto another celebrity, Kendall Jenner.
@KendallJenner heard you here? What section?
— Cardale Jones (@CJ12_) July 16, 2015
Neither Jenner nor Rousey ever responded to Jones. And Cardale made sure to clean up the air so as to not start any rumors.
Lol let me stop joking before @TMZ start spreading rumors about me and @KendallJenner or @RondaRousey

Jones was also up for Best Breakthrough Athlete, but Mo'ne Davis won the award.
Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliott also had some fun with a crop-top suit and the confetti, as he did in the National Championship game.
