Smooth like butta
With The Vest’s footballers garnering their share of national attention, the Buckeye hoops program has taken its usual backseat but it won’t be long before Thad Matta’s squad begins preparations for the ‘07-’08 campaign. Matta is looking forward to a healthy season after multiple back surgeries and his bank account is certainly healthier [...]

The top eight in our ballot were unchanged over last week. We’re fighting every homer instinct inside of ourselves not to bump Ohio State over West Virginia and Cal, but all of this will play itself. Cal has to visit Oregon this weekend in what’s sure to be an insane environment and other [...]

Matta’s dog has plans for the extra cash
The raise Buckeye basketball coach Thad Matta recently received not only has the coach’s pets pumped up, but it allows us to make a good guess at the value of a blockbuster recruiting class. Oden, Conley and Cook may have taken their game to the NBA, but [...]

Todd Boeckman racked up a 265.37 QB rating and a career high 4 TD passes.
If you’re like me, you got the feeling this game was over as soon as Joe Laurinaitis introduced the OSU offense on ABC’s coverage of Ohio State’s 58-7 thrashing of Northwestern. Within seconds of The Animal’s bloodthirsty tirade, Todd Boeckman [...]

Dayton Daily News is reporting freshman sensation Brandon Saine underwent arthroscopic (left) knee surgery Friday morning. While I’ve not seen any official word from the university, Saine’s mother is the source quoted in the DDN story.
Apparently, Saine felt discomfort after Tuesday’s practice setting up the surgery and the family was told [...]

The Wildcats "at home" last season against the Buckeyes
PREVIEW: #7 OSU vs Northwestern

“It was only 7 violations, your honor.”
Despite giving recruit Aleksandar Radojevic $6000 in cash and failing to report it to Ohio State officials, an appeals court today awarded Jim O’Brien 2.4 million in damages. The court’s logic is that OSU breached O’Brien’s contract by firing him for an offense that didn’t warrant termination. I know [...]

“Natty Light rules, pardner!”
Continuing our improbable runs both Jason and I went 4-0 against the spread in last week’s games. That must be what happens when you don’t actually have money riding on the outcome. Go figure. Anyway, Jason stands at 10-1 so far this year while I’m 9-2. This week’s games will likely add [...]

Nothing to do with this post, but who cares!
Peter at Burnt Orange Nation was tasked with providing this week’s BlogPoll roundtable questions provide he did. Here’s our take:
1. Handicap your team’s chances to win your conference championship. If your team is not the favorite, who is?
