Wondering if anybody on here has thought that Aaron Craft reminds them a little of Braxton Miller and vice versa in terms of how they go about their business in their respective sports? The main comparison that I note between the two is how cool they are under pressure.  It seems that Craft an...

Here’s a chance to predict your Week 8 upsets.  It’s relevant because anytime a Top 25 team loses (other than OSU) it helps OSU in the end!  Since I never want OSU to lose a game, I always root for someone in the Top 25 to bite the dust and help the OSU cause! For brevity&...

I've got The Herd playing on ESPNU, & according to Collin Cowherd, there's rumors of Nick Saban leaving Alabama for the NFL again. They think the Browns might actually go after him at the end of the season. To me, that would make sense since cleveland has his former RB Trent Richardson, ...

I was taking a look at BM's stats on the season and just realized that his pass attempts so far this season are just about where BM finished the season last year with. 2011 PC/PA: 85/157 PCT: 54.1% Yards: 1159 TD/INT: 13/4 Sacks: 39 Efficiency: 138.4   2012 (7 games to date) PC/PA...

Despite all the bad press, the Big Ten teams have some of the best fans in the country.  When you get great universities that pump out lots of great degrees, the students spread across the country and accomplish great things.  I've lived in Las Vegas and now Los Angeles and I see OSU a...

 https://twitter.com/JabbatheHoke  I found this twitter profile today, & I thought it was pretty good. I figured some people on this site would really enjoy this, & that the world in general just needs to know about it. In order to post this, I have to have a minimum of atleast 20...

This topic was brought up in the comments of Five Things and since it took a few minutes to research, I thought I'd share Rod Smith's fumbling history for those that might be interested since he put the ball on the ground again at Indiana. 2011 Season: 29 carries, 2 fumbles Game 1: ...

I had a day to stew on this, but I had to post some thoughts on the Indiana game.  I can not give you five coherent observations and analysis like Chris, you will have to settle for three random ramblings: 1) Officiating - I hate to "blame" things on the stripes, but was Mike Hart th...

I was considering this idea before last night's game, but I still think it holds a lot of truth. Maybe a bowl ban this year isn't so bad. I mean, there's a lot to be gained from a (potential) undefeated season even without the opportunity to play after The Game. Before you click away fr...

SPOILER ALERT: This is about the past. 11W staff writer Jeff Beck tossed out a question in one of his columns and I think it deserves a discussion of its own. If the past does not interest you then don't read this blog. Nothing is gained by you adding yet again that the cat is dead. Some of us l...

Whether it's been for Across the Field, Across the Court, interviews for my other articles or roundtables, or booking guests for the Dubcast, I've reached out to others countless times and asked them to generously give their thoughts and their time to this site. NOW: This is not a site rule...

  you're on campus today, perhaps your building is saturated with little pink business cards for the following cause: http://pinkoutpurdue.com/ I suppose this is an interesting idea, but I don't recall how popular it was for the Penn State game last year.  Just can't see i...

2013 H-back/LB William Houston is an under the radar player hailing from Dublin Scioto (OH) High School, just miles from campus. Houston does not yet hold on offer from the Bucks, but does hold a preferred walk-on offer, with the possibility of landing a scholarship offer in the future. I caught up ...

In his Wednesday skull session Chad observes:  YARRRGH IT'S A TRAP. Meyer spoke briefly about his concerns for Indiana this week during the B1G teleconference:     Meyer said he's concerned about execution on defense and stopping Indiana because Hoosiers do things o...

2013 RB commit Ezekiel Elliott took in his first Ohio State game this past Saturday when the Buckeyes took on the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Elliott committed to the Buckeyes April 1st and has remained solid in his commitment ever since. I caught up with Elliott to find out how he liked his first game ex...

This has been eating at me since Saturday night.  When I got to my regular seats for the Nebraska game there was someone sitting in my seat.  I'm a season ticket holder, have been since 2003.  I've been in Section 24C, Row 20, Seats 11 and 12 for about 5 seasons now.  I k...

Here we sit after 6 weeks of college football.  4 teams from BCS conferences: Louisville, Cincinnati, West Virginia and Ohio State, as well as (BCS tie-in made easy) Notre Dame are successfully running the gauntlet... undefeated.  In the most recent USA Today Heisman poll, the current play...

Braxton Miller is the Ohio State offense. That's what we're hearing every week from pundits and announcers, opposing players and coaches. After Miller racked up 315 of Ohio State's 383 total offensive yards against Michigan State, defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi lamented, "He is ...

After checking some articles, I discovered that both the 2005 & 2006 Florida Gator teams never scored more than 49 points, other than a 62-0 victory over Western Carolina when the Gators were ranked #3. So seeing as how Urbans first year as head coach has already produced a 56 point game & t...

How about someone at PSU remind this clown that HIS INACTIONS were inappropriate? I am sure that the victims and their loved ones are going to feel real sympathy for him, being as how he had a chance to take immediate, direct actions and follow up on them, but instead chose to not confront...
