The Vest’s next great kicker
While the current incarnation of the Buckeye football team continues to steamroll opponents, future Buckeyes are doing their best to impress in high school. Tackle Mike Adams and wide receiver Jake Stoneburner have Dublin Coffman off to a 6-0 record. In Friday’s win against Grove City, Stoneburner caught 5 [...]

On what turned out to be ‘Shakeup Saturday‘, Ohio State put together a workmanlike effort easily dispatching Minnesota 30-7 in the Metrodome. Shockingly, the Gophers ploy to switch from maroon to mustard yellow jerseys between warmups and gametime didn’t propel “Tight End” [...]

"I’m just not the same man without you Vince."
In the matter of a few hours this afternoon, next week’s Red River Shootout became a whole lot less interesting.
First, Colorado upended the Sooner juggernaut with an improbable walk-off field goal and then Kansas State picked Colt McCoy off 4 times on the way to a 41-21 [...]

"I’ve been in the National Football League for the past five years, and what I’m looking at looks like an AFC West team"

After an up-and-down week that saw the young Buckeye offense absolutely throttle an overmatched Northwestern squad only then to wake up Tuesday morning to find out a backup quarterback was trying to score for [...]

Clem “Hundy-Handshake” Haskins
As predicted, last week’s action did serve as a reality check to both Jason and myself. I managed a 2-2 result against the number while Jason rode the Paterno-Saban wagon to a 1-3 week. After 4 weeks wer’re deadlocked with 11-4 records. Pretty good numbers to be sure, but the wheels are gettin’ [...]

Lake the Posts, the fine Northwestern blog, was gracious enough to host this week’s Big Ten Blogger’s roundtable. This is no small feat considering his freshest memories of college football action are dominated by a 58-7 pasting at the hands of your Buckeyes. Without any further taunting, on to the questions and answers.
1. [...]

Surveillance photograph from the Antonio Henton sting
More details are starting to emerge about the Antonio Henton situation. I’m pretty sure the new definition of chutzpah is trying to score with $20 and then being a dollar short to boot. Tressel said all the right (neutral) things at his presser today and hopefully this [...]

As first reported by Q-FM 96 and then relayed by reader "HAL3", redshirt freshman quarterback Antonio Henton was arrested for soliciting a prostitute late last night.
So long for the long quiet period of Buckeyes staying out of trouble with the law. And never mind the point that he’s a freakin’ football player at a [...]

"Say something about the hair. I dare you."
Week 3’s Buckeye NFLer goes out to A.J. Hawk of the Green Bay Packers. Hawk recorded 5 tackles and 6 assists as the Packers downed the San Diego Chargers 31-24 on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. So the field wasn’t quite frozen. But [...]
