Five Things: Youngstown State

  • By Chris - August 31st, 2008

Along with Rasta Wells, Herron and Saine could form a RB by committee in Beanie’s absence (photo: J. Davidson)

The Beanie Contingency?
Reports are still varied on the status of Beanie’s right foot with talk of either turf toe, a torn ligament or possibly a lisfranc sprain serving as the most repeated versions. All we know so [...]

The Win is Nice, but Bated Breath Waits

  • By Jason - August 30th, 2008

And we wait…

The Buckeyes turned in an excellent afternoon, especially on defense, and the prized young recruit showed people that he is every bit as talented as most of us thought he’d be in routing Youngstown State 43-0, but the Beanie Wells injury dominated all game talk from the 3rd quarter on and that’s all [...]

Uh Oh

  • By Jason - August 30th, 2008

The one guy that the Buckeyes could least afford to have injured has gone down. I’m sure we won’t hear anything official for a while, but that was a serious injury of some sort.

Boom, Saine and Wells are going to have to step up.

UPDATE: Tressel said post-game that it was a “foot thing” and [...]

Ich bin ein Bigtener

  • By Jason - August 30th, 2008

As we get set to kick off this 113th season of Big Ten football, we’re conscious that the conference is currently rolling with a negative street cred balance. Because of that perception, we find ourselves a fan of every other team in the Big Ten during these first few weekends of the year. [...]

First, the obligatory plea to banish all future games against FCS opponents. USC doesn’t do it. Even Michigan State has never played an FCS team. They are no-win games [...]

We Have Liftoff

  • By Jason - August 28th, 2008

Bored with the NFL

Ah, kickoff. And the OBC to start off the season, no less. I’m trying to figure out how much I’d pay to get a live feed from his mic for the game — in Imaginationland they offer this on PPV — and I’m thinking I’d gladly shell out $5 for [...]

eBay Treasures: Smoker’s Edition

  • By Chris - August 28th, 2008

All right, Marlboro men. This one’s for you.

This week’s eBay treasure is a vintage Horseshoe ashtray that’ll have you burning down at a prolific rate just to give your precious cig’s the privilege of resting inside the ‘Shoe in between puffs.

As an added bonus, there’s no recorded message of some blue hair yelling at your [...]

11W Mix Tape: The Last 48 Hours Edition

  • By Corey - August 28th, 2008

While the sight of college football tonight may ease the pain for some of you, we all know these next 2 days are possibly the longest of the year. Your legs twitch uncontrollably, you can’t sleep starting tonight and the nervous sensation in your stomach just won’t go away.

It’s been Buckeye overload for me [...]

It’s Crucial Time for the Big Ten

  • By Jason - August 27th, 2008

You may have heard. The Big Ten has a bit of a perception problem heading into this season. Despite actually performing well in bowls as of late and sending its share of talent to the NFL over the past five years, the conference has been relegated to ACC/Big East territory when viewed with [...]
