USA Today has compiled data from the past 20 NFL drafts to look at the states and schools that produce the most draft picks, among other things.
The big three, California, Texas and Florida, now have pretty solid empirical evidence to support their claims as fertile football grounds:
It is no surprise that California, along with Florida [...]
McLovin Franzia
A Big Lead reader sent in a couple of photos of Oden house-partying over the weekend in State College. Wait, State College?
A reader (ed. - He said he doesn’t mind if we use his name, so Andy from Temple University) sent in a couple photos of a rather tall gentleman who appears to [...]
A lot of talk this spring has focused on the staff’s new approach to teaching broader football concepts to the veteran squad. The thinking was they didn’t want some of the 4th or 5th year guys to get bored going over position fundamentals and concepts that they’ve already seen three or four times, so [...]
Simmons would provide PG depth
Instead of taking his rumored visit to Ohio State this weekend, 6′2″ juco guard Devan Dumes verbally committed to Indiana yesterday.
I’ve yet to hear exactly how the scenario played out but one can hardly blame a juco player for choosing a school with a roster that guarantees more playing time.

Controversy, you say? (Jim Davidson Photo)
We knew there would be some rumblings about the backup quarterback heading into this fall, we just didn’t think it would be this backup.
22 year-old redshirt freshman Joe Bauserman stole the show in the 2008 Buckeye spring game, connecting with fellow soph Taurian Washington on two long scoring strikes (true, [...]
UPDATE: The BTN must have added another C-64 to their cluster because the game is now flowing smoothly. Additionally, Bucknuts is live-blogging the game and 1460 has a radio feed you can grab.
If you live out of state, like myself, or are otherwise unable to attend the spring game in person, you had hoped [...]
Beanie ran for 480 and 3 TDs at night last year.
It was announced yesterday that Ohio State is slated for two prime time games in Big Ten play, to go along with the USC match-up in LA.
The Buckeyes will travel to Madison on October 4th, their first visit since 2003, when Robert Reynolds tried to [...]
But Can He Score without a Shoe?
Sophomore Brandon Saine received praise for his performance in last weekend’s jersey scrimmage, but the Vest’s assessment of his performance may have topped anything else said.
Tressel pointed out that Saine is adapting to the various wrinkles and schemes the team has been trying to use Saine in, emphasizing his [...]
Even though spring football has everyone’s attention, there’s still plenty going on the world of OSU hoops worth sharing.
On the recruiting front, rivals.com reported Devan Dumes will take an official visit to Columbus this weekend causing Baptist and others to rightly assume Matta will offer the lone remaining scholarship (until Koufos announces) to the 6′2″ [...]
Dot Com Done Did it Again
Urban Meyer’s boys were the feature attraction Saturday afternoon on ESPN as their spring game was televised live (ESPN has more reach than the BTN, right?), but all is not well in the Gator universe.
Meyer isn’t pleased with the performance of USC transfer Emmanuel Moody and would like him to [...]
