Prepare Yourself For The Oden Love Fest

  • By Jason - May 21st, 2007

Murder She Wrote is dope!

With the NBA draft right around the corner, you can probably already envision young sports reporters getting their assignments for a feature profile on either the Buckeye’s Greg Oden or Kevin Durant of Texas, the two most likely candidates for the #1 overall selection.

Seeing as how 90% of online mock drafts [...]

Little Animal: Q&A

Good God, when’s the NBA Draft? When does fall camp start? The Buckeye sports landscape is dry as dust right now unless you’re gonna feign excitement over the girls softball squad capturing the conference tournament crown. I’m not hatin’, I’m just saying. Thankfully, I was able to scrape together a few [...]

Final AP Ranking: 20

It’s mid-May and that can only mean one thing: the cavalcade of preview magazines are just around the corner. Athlon is already in gear, releasing one ranked team a day through June 1. Today, the Buckeyes were slotted 12th. Lil’ Animal and Malcom Jenkins were both picked as 1st [...]

AJ’s Wedding

  • By Jason - May 16th, 2007

Fetch me your sister, rook.

Reader John (who requested that I refer to him as “Dragon”) sent in the link to a picture gallery from former Buckeye A.J. Hawk’s wedding. Hawk, for those of you living under a rock, married Brady Quinn’s sister Laura on March 17. Based on the reaction from her half-Notre [...]

Lloyd Carr Wants Punched

  • By Jason - May 15th, 2007

Being the head football coach at a major university can bring all kinds of perks and opportunities that you and I will never get to experience. For Michigan coach Lloyd Carr, that includes meeting Russell Crowe. Evidently the brawling Aussie had learned that Carr used Cinderalla Man (unsuccessfully) to motivate his players and [...]

DDN: No Turning Back For Daequan

  • By Chris - May 12th, 2007

Mark Gokavi’s article in today’s DDN quotes Cook’s old HS coach and advisor, Al Powell, as saying Cook is definitely gone:
“Even though it’s a harder road, he’s determined to stay in it,” said Powell, a family friend and Dunbar High School assistant coach who will accompany Cook to the workouts. “Daequan is going to [...]

Kern Joins Ledger, Gyllenhaal In Hall of Fame

  • By Jason - May 9th, 2007

As I was starting to research a post about Buckeye legend Rex Kern’s election to the College Football Hall of Fame, I stumbled upon this on Google Maps.

The G-brain is trying to link pictures from pages in its index to this location and selected this lovely photo from exploresouthbend.org to display. The photo was [...]

Elevens All Around

Count these rocks, biotch!

Former Buckeyes Teddy Ginn, Anthony Gonzalez and Troy Smith have decided to honor this blog by wearing number 11 for their rookie seasons in the NFL.

Gonzo, of course, wore 11 during his days as a Buckeye, while Smith’s 10 and Ginn’s 7 were already taken by “veterans” that beat the two into [...]

Rise Magazine recently released its final player rankings for the 2007 hoops class and all five incoming Baby Buckeyes made the Top 100. Seven foot Kosta Koufos was the highest ranked (14) with 6′7″ Evan Turner (45) and sharpshooter Jon Diebler (52) in the top half. 6′6″ swingman Eric Wallace (95) and 6′9″ big body [...]

Hey, Thad - Add this scholar to the roster ASAP

Ken Gordon reported in today’s Dispatch that Ohio State could be punished as early as next season because of low scores on the recently released Academic Progress Report. I won’t pretend to know the in’s and out’s of this report but the elimination of [...]
