(University Photo)The spectacle that is team media day took place yesterday at the Horseshoe, with 175 members of the press and over 500 team family members soaking up great weather and a chance for some choice photos (galleries here, here, here and here).
Though Small and Rose were not in attendance, Jordan Whiting's parents represented pretty hard, there was a Guitonator sighting and Tyler Moeller was there, noggin scars and all.
Clarifying a bit from yesterday's report of Moeller's mother's statement, it appears as if charges have not been filed yet so in the interim we're wishing Tyler a speedy recovery and eagerly looking forward to whatever punishment is handed out to the perp. Remember kids, an ounce of weed in Florida is a felony, so naturally sucker-punching someone should lead to a loss of one hand, right?
Getting back to Small and Rose, Tressel seemed to confirm the rumors from earlier Thursday that Small will be joining the team soon, possibly as soon as tomorrow. When asked about Rose, Tressel was optimistic, but gave nothing firm regarding a return date (for either player, really).
Finally, and Pryor's teammates aren't backing down from the 4.33. You're turn, DocSat.
If you're still fiending for more, the AD has posted audio/video from 12 players that should see plenty of playing time this season.
Elsewhere
- Penn State corner AJ Wallace is probably looking at a one or two game suspension to start the season for cutting class. Wallace will leave the already young Lion secondary just a tad greener when they start that brutal non-conf schedule.
- Speaking of secondary issues, the Hawkeyes lost corner Jordan Bernstine, who was penciled-in to start opposite Spievey, to a broken ankle. The partisans at BHGP don't think he was going to win the corner job, but if he was good enough to be in contention for it, it's a big loss.
- The Big Ten Network will be offering live web streaming options for fans living outside of the United States and Canada. Single game, team and conference packages will be available in late August. If you in the States or Canada, but are outside the network's footprint, you may have some luck with proxy servers, depending on how the net auth's the service.
- When the Pac-10 moved in on the Alamo Bowl, bumping the Big Ten from consideration, I first thought it was the conference taking another hit. Howeva, Delaney and crew are thought to be closing in on a deal with the Gator Bowl (last time there kind of sucked for the Buckeyes if memory serves correct), which will give the conference three New Year's Day games in addition to the Rose Bowl tie-in. I know it was important for the league to have tie-ins to both Florida and Texas, so we'll call it a push.
- Smart Football with a sweet video on how to beat press coverage. Because, you might need it the next time you're at Starbucks.
- We're sympathetic to this campaign, we really are. But can't we just drop one more Corky and then call it quits?

Looks like the Big Ten will have 4 bowls on New Years beginning in 2010: Outback,Capital One, Gator and Rose Bowl. Not too shabby for a conference that seems to be dwindling in the minds of non Big Ten fans.
Guiton is wearing #13.......... just sayin'
He must not have been educated....Amos rocked 13 and hasnt seen the field LOL
Not really a push type situation...I say getting the Texas Bowl and gaining the major acquisition of the Gator is a total win. BTW does anyone know what the work being down in the north side of the Shoe is??
Hopefully a god damned statue of Coach Woody Hayes 50 feet tall!
that 13 has not been good since 2003...LOL Guiton looks so scrawny--he had better pair up with Pryor and hit the weight room.
I just got the biggest headache trying to understand that twitter interaction...what is wrong with speaking enlish nowadays?
Guiton looks like Arnold's buddy on "Different strokes" , 'whatchoo talkin' bout, kenny?"
U B 2 old 2 b readin dat!
i'm 23 haha

LMAO!!!!!
We just took a tour, there's repair work and a new scoreboard going in, eventually there'll be a "ribbon" scoreboard too - sorry, I was taking pix and didn't pay enough attention, but it's an upgrade, for sure. The new board won't be as big as the South one, but still nice
"the work being down," how the hell do you misspell "done" as "down?"
He must seriously think "down" is correct there...
We got the Gator Bowl!? What bowl did we lose? I am not sure about the Texas Bowl. Unless we unload the insight.com Bowl. I like the Alamo Bowl too! San Antonio is a great place!
I think its imperative that we keep the CapOne and Outback bowls. We need to keep playing the SEC!
Who will we have to play in the Gator Bowl? ACC? Also if they signed the Big Ten, what happens with Notre Dame's tie-in with them?
My bad anon...was in such a hurry that in my haste meant to say "being done down in."
Holy hell what's your problem, what is this the Scripps Spelling Bee? Last time I checked this site got one of it's major words from a misprint, "out of hound." Ease up and don't go bashing on people broheme.
This would be amazing. Have him hold a three-page playbook (consisting entirely of variations on off-tackle runs) and then have the other arm raised, middle finger waving like Lady Liberty's torch.
So, TP is the fastest man on earth? Really bucks? This is a little far fetched, even for you. When is the head-to-head with Bolt and Gay? Keep reachin'...
