More Buckeye pornWhat do Jack Park, Bruce Hooley, the Plain Dealer's Doug Lesmerises and the crew from 11W all have in common? Not much outside of a favorite college football team. Until now, that is.
A few weeks ago, we were asked to help contribute to Buckeye Battle Cry 2008, a new Buckeye football annual from Maple Street Press. They had lined up the heavy hitters I mentioned above and needed a couple of hacks to come in and expound on topics to fill out the publication.
So we bunkered down and each labored over the largest writing project we'd faced since college -- which could partially explain the slowness around these parts as of late, but hey, it's also summer. At any rate, we're super-excited about this and judging by the cover, and the in-depth look at every aspect of the 2008 Buckeye season, we can't wait to get our hands on the final product.
The publisher is accepting pre-orders for Buckeye Battle Cry 2008 with an expected ship date of July. We don't have Bret Easton Ellis clout, so it's not like we're getting points on sales, but if you are looking for something a little bit deeper than the handful of pages the Buckeyes get in traditional preview magazines, you can't go wrong with the 112-page, ad-free publication featuring the names above, plus features from some of your other favorite Buckeye blogs.

Nice work!
Thanks, Rock. My writing technique needs some serious work, but it was a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure I'm going to hold a book-signing with at Thanksgiving this fall.
well the link won't work for me any ideas on where you will be able to pick one up around Columbus? and how much it is ?
The magazine is $12.99 and will be available across Ohio anywhere there's a newsstand (bookstores, grocery stores, drug stores, etc.) in mid-July.
I'm hoping a Table of Contents comes out before too long. I'm anxious to see what topics everyone is writing about.
very cool guys, congrats!
