Buford, Offut, Crater and Mullens all hope to see significant minutes this season. (J. Davidson)
Excited to get my first look at this year’s hoops squad, I ventured down to the Schott on Saturday to catch the one and only practice/scrimmage session open to the public. Fans were allowed into the lower bowl and I’d guess [...]

Even with two of our top ten losing this week, there was little movement in the upper half of our rankings considering Oklahoma State lost a close one to #1 Texas while Ohio State dropped a close one to #2 Penn State. We only dropped the Cowboys one spot and the Buckeyes three. Fair?
We know [...]

Turnover Margin Once Again Dooms Buckeyes
While it’s not groundbreaking to say teams that lose the turnover battle normally lose the game, it is amazing just how bad Ohio State has been with regard to turnover margin in big games. Pryor’s game changing [...]

Shh.. Do you hear the sound of the Big Ten’s new alpha dog?
Looks like the Buckeyes won’t get that third consecutive outright league title after all.
Behind an amazing performance out of their defensive front, steady play out of backup quarterback Pat Devlin and a timely turnover, Penn State eked out a 13-6 win in Ohio [...]

Turner: ‘08-’09 team MVP? I say yes (J. Davidson)
There weren’t any real significant developments on the hoops front in the last week but I rounded up a few nuggets for you to peruse.
While you’re throwing down RBV’s or ice cold brews on campus this Saturday, don’t forget about the open hoops practice from [...]

His team may face long odds, but spoiling is nice.
We have always felt there shouldn’t be any type of college football poll until at least week four. No one really knows what is going to happen before the season starts and any pre-season poll is pretty worthless. Remember West Virginia, Clemson and Auburn [...]

There were some monster plays on offense against Michigan State and the same was true on the defensive side of the ball. It was difficult picking just three plays as there could have easily been a half-dozen featured, but these three were among the best.

Michigan State opened the game with a big [...]

We’re pleased to announce that long-time regular Joe Fox has agreed to accept our bags of cold hard cash and come on board as a writer. Though Joe rarely thinks the Buckeyes are much better than a 9-3 team, we’ll be leveraging the fact that he was actually in the ‘Shoe when Harley was [...]
