Bubble Battle

Despite the grumblings in these parts, the Buckeyes still technically have a chance to make the NCAA tournament (but in the land of tall orders, it’s Manute Bol — on stilts). Perhaps that’s why I just heard an ESPN promo refer to the Minnesota game Saturday as a bubble matchup.

One thing’s for certain, if the Buckeyes lose to the Gophers, they’re almost a lock for the NIT (saving a miracle tourney run). Don’t fret, though, at least they’ll be a top seed in the basketball equivalent of the Humanitarian Bowl.

To help fire you up for the first of several consecutive must-win games, we present footage of the infamous 1972 brawl.

Luke Witte, you’re a good man.

(Thanks to winterinand for the NIT seeding tip.)

    Man, I’d read about this brawl before, but never seen it. The 70’s were a rough time for violence and tOSU.

    Funny how Dave Winfield is always held to high esteem as a person of great integrity but to tOSU fans over 40 he will alway be remembered as the classless jerk he is for jumping Mark Wagner from behind and hitting him 4-5 times before some football players took over.
