Strokin’: Diebs dropped 7/10 triple tries
Everyone following Buckeye basketball had one major question coming into today’s tilt with Iowa:
Would Ohio State surrender after the tumultuous past few days that saw the Buckeyes get slaughtered at home against WVU followed by Anthony Crater’s abrupt decision to quit the squad or would they come out fighting?
Question answered.

Old school Buckeye pride
The line has narrowed to 8, so the betting public believes the Fiesta Bowl will be closer than the 11 point opening gap. What about you? Think you can nail the correct final score?
If so, you’ll be the lucky winner of two t-shirts from Ryan and the good people at [...]
Beanie back in pads you say? Tell me more.
The Buckeyes participated in a two hour session in full pads Tuesday and Tressel spoke briefly with the press prior to hitting the field. A quick rundown of the interesting bits:
Five players still hadn’t arrived to the Phoenix area by the start of practice. [...]

You’ll forgive Todd Boeckman if he seeks out Longhorn Quan Cosby immediately after the Fiesta Bowl Monday night. You see, it’s not often that he comes across another player that is car-rental eligible, but that’s exactly what Cosby, at the ripe old age of 26 [...]
Antoine is still a tackling machine.
The recent trend of mediocre performances continued this week, as weather played a role in some games and other players rested for the playoffs.
Things were so bad, Donnie Nickey leads things off with his season high 5 tackles in Tennessee’s 23-0 loss at Indy. Meanwhile, Gonzo mostly rested and [...]
Been There, Done That
After letting Crater’s selfish decision marinate for a day, I thought we should revisit what his departure, combined with Lighty’s injury, might mean from a strategy and roster standpoint as the Buckeyes prepare for the conference opener tomorrow against Iowa.
The first question is obviously who will eat up Crater’s 13 minutes per [...]
This is a tad old and we had it up in Good Shizzy, but this Wall Street Journal article about the number of great coaches that have Ohio roots gives me too much wood not to put into a full-blown post.
Ohio is a state in a deep recession, laid low by the decline of manufacturing. [...]

Texas linebacker Sergio Kindle gives hope to every program with a former high school all-American struggling for playing time early on in their career (slightly looking your way, Connor Smith).
After arriving in Austin accompanied by considerable (earned) hype, he was unable to crack the starting lineup his first two [...]
With Christmas and a couple of hoops-related punches to the midsection in the rearview, it’s time to start getting serious about football. As in, this Longhorn team the Buckeyes will be squaring off against a week from tonight will bring a serious amount of ass-kickage if the Buckeyes aren’t ready.
Wishful thinkers, we are
