I’m not sure what this is all about, but evidently the state of Michigan has sent an ambassador to kindly remind Ohio State fans of the various differences between Wolverines and Buckeyes.
Forgiving the fact that he called his school "Michigan State", this must be the funniest, most eloquent man in the entire state of [...]

The rabid Boston Celtics fans behind RedsArmy.com have Operation Oden running, which includes a recap of every Oden game since January 24th. Like the rest of the nation, they’ve taken notice of the effort he put forth in the Big Ten tournament.

The entire weekend served as a statement and OSU saved their best for last. The unflappable Mike Conley led all scorers with 18 [...]

For now, appreciate the moment in time we’re experiencing this weekend, the brief collegiate passing-through of basketball’s next great interior force. You [...]

I think somebody’s wrist has healed.
The Buckeyes earned a trip to the conference championship game and most likely locked up a #1 seed with today’s 63-52 win over the Boilers. Greg Oden led OSU with a second straight dominating performance producing 17 points, 19 rebounds (9 offensive!) and 4 blocks complete with an [...]
