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.

As the temperatures dropped across the land over the weekend, so did the outstanding performances for the former Buckeyes.

Gonzo started the week off Thursday night with 4 catches for 38 yards, 2 of which went for first downs, in Indy’s 31-24 win at Jacksonville. In [...]

Buckeye fans had seen signs of an eruption brewing. The nine points and four rebounds in an impressive first half last Saturday in addition to the strong outings against top flight competition in Notre Dame (11 pts, 7 reb) and Miami (9 reb) served as writing on the wall.
