Koufos Officially History

  • By Chris - April 30th, 2008

As reported by Dottingthei via the Canton Repository, Kosta Koufos has announced he’s dropping out, hiring an agent and leaving Ohio State.

Of course, this of no surprise to most of us but I’m wondering how everyone feels about the fact his decision is likely another kick in the balls to the APR score?

Do you blame [...]

Jeremie Simmons - “No P.J. Hill”

  • By Chris - April 29th, 2008

The Predator: Instant No-ffense

Amen to that. PD’s Doug Lesmerises just took the words right out of my mouth.

Jeremie Simmons, the 6′2″ juco Matta brought in to compete at the point, appears poised to see significant court time according to his Mott CC coach Steve Schmidt:
They recruited this kid to come in and make an impact. [...]

Don’t Forget Mom

The “Long Snapper“

With Mother’s Day less than two weeks away, now is about the time to start thinking about that perfect gift for your mom and/or wife and/or babby-mama. Thanks to a reader tip, we think we’ve done that work for you.

Grant, Barton Go Late and More Gholston Goodness

  • By Jason - April 27th, 2008

Thanks to late Sunday calls, Larry Grant and Kirk Barton will be getting a chance to prove they belong at the next level. Both were taken in the seventh round, Grant by San Francisco and Barton by the Bears.

Aside from the thrill of, you know, hearing your name called in the NFL draft, Grant [...]

Gholston is a Jet

  • By Jason - April 26th, 2008

The Big Apple is embracing guns

The New York Jets have selected Vernon Gholston with the 6th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Gholston will be going to a team that runs a 3-4, so he figures to get some looks at linebacker in New York. If he can make the adjustment and play [...]

Have a Great Weekend

Do Something Good with Your Weekend

  • By Jason - April 24th, 2008

I came across a Dan Potokar update at the O-Zone and wanted to pass it on:

Dan will be released from the IU hospital and heading back to Columbus tomorrow, April 23!! His tumor markers are down significantly and his white cell count is climbing steadily.
We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief, and a [...]

Who Would You Take?

  • By Corey - April 24th, 2008

Grant to New England? Could be five straight title games.

For me, one of the benefits of being a Buckeye fan is the NFL draft. As Jason pointed out earlier this week, the tenure of Jim Tressel had provided 7.8 draft picks per season, including a record number a few years ago.

I always enjoy [...]

Boren Transferring to Ohio State

  • By Chris - April 23rd, 2008

In what Jack Park says is an unprecedented decision, former Michigan o-liner Justin Boren is transferring to play for Jim Tressel’s Buckeyes.

I’m sure the Michigan faithful will downplay the move but it has to sting a bit to see a legacy transfer to the Evil Empire. Justin sounds excited to have a chance to win:
“It’s [...]

BTB Roundtable: Spring Wrap

  • By Jason - April 23rd, 2008

Mike over at Black Shoe Diaries was kind enough to put together a Big Ten Bloggers roundtable taking a look back at spring practice. We’ll dive into the position battles and try to assess the mood of Buckeye Nation heading into 2008.

I love spring. Flowers blooming. Birds chirping. Bones breaking. ACL’s tearing. List the [...]
