As was first reported on pay sites and the like then later corroborated (ironically through twitter), Urban Meyer's first act beyond forcing the players to meet at 7 AM the morning following a game and long flight back to Columbus was to forbid the Ohio State football players from using the p...

Someone (Bucksfan?) posted in a comment thread about how we've all been saying the B1G will be coming back soon ... for the past half decade... and it got me thinking:  It's not "cyclical" this time around and they arent coming back. The decline of B1G football is a per...

    Hello Blogosphere! This is my first real blog post of any sort of importance. I decided, since I'm an avid sports fan and I'm part of The Ohio State University Athletic Band, that I should post about the sporting events I go to. For those of you who don't kno...

Joe Bodolai (1949 - 2011) Former SNL writer and television producer Joe Bodolai is dead of what appears to be a suicide. He was 63 years old. He was a very witty and droll guy (his "headline" following the Casey Anthony verdict was about Florida's landmark decision to legali...

I am a frequent visitor, though I rarely post anything (feeling inadequate in the face of such erudition as permeates this site).  I thought I would take this opportunity to thank everyone at 11W for their hard work and dedication in bringing me, and the myriad of other Buckeye fans, their u...

I am just craving on more and more recruiting news. I like joel caleb, but I think that diggs and neal are better. Bummed that cyrus jones took us out of the running because someone on here predicted that we would get him. Hopeful for Dodson, Diamond and Williams. Also, how would you rank the thr...

A little something I put together. Enjoy! A long, long time ago I can still remember how His coaching used to make me smile And I knew if we’d had our say We’d flip off the N-C- double- A And maybe he’d be coaching for awhile But February made me shiver With al...

First posted at Inside The Shoe (includes video highlights) Although the 2012 recruiting class has not yet been finished, with the recent hiring of Urban Meyer, 2013 has already perked some interest into Buckeye fans across the country. With that said, here are our efforts to give you th...

First posted at Inside The Shoe The 2012 recruiting class took a huge momentum shift nationally, when Urban Meyer raced into the picture for Ohio State. Enough cannot be said about how Luke Fickell and Mike Vrabel continued to recruit, and recruit well. Before Meyer came onto the coaching sta...

Twas the week before Christmas, after a week of a recruiting circus, Not a creature was stirring, not even a walrus. The pads were all arranged and cleaned by the crews, In hopes that the NCAA will come with some news. The players were practicing, preparing for Gators , While stories ...

Glen Mason. The former Buckeye player, and most recently successful Minnesota head coach would be a great hire. I just don't know if he'd want to leave his job at the B1G Network; or, if he did get back in to coaching - he may want a head coaching job. But, this would be a great sprin...

Initially posted at http://www.thebestdamnpoll.com This is a statistical analysis of bowl games.  I took national rankings in 13 different categories to give each bowl team a score.  The categories were total offense, total defense, scoring offense, scoring defense, penalties, ...

http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/coaches12.html Honestly, I think it's because it's URBAN FRICKIN' MEYER that Michigan is moaning.  Anyone else and they would be indifferent about the whole thing.  Ramzy's pretty much hammered home that this ...

Again. Man, this is starting to feel like groundhog day. Grant Hill was able to come back eventually from his issues, but I think it may be time for GO to hang them up. Blazer fans are depressed, but (via their blogs) aren't killing the man, just feeling bad.   PORTLAND, Ore. -- ...

Dear St. Nick, I only have nine gift requests... 9-O.J. stops being afraid to hit. You are a more athletic Nate Salley. 8-Barnett/Bryant learn how to consistently cut the angle in half and break down to make the tackle. Whitner mode please. 7-Shazier/Sabino/Klein:Get well soon, pl...

The College Football National Championship game is around the corner, happens every year.  And, we all know this is the first time both representatives reside in the same conference... and yes, it's that impressive SEC conference again. The SEC conference is impressive, just look how...

Over Thanksgiving weekend, I was watching The Game with my 90 year old grandfather.  And he was generally perplexed by all the fuss over the BCS and the general opinion voiced by most college football fans that a playoff system is necessary to determine a national champion.  I...

With Urban Meyer at the helm, the Dave-centric offense has become a thing of the past. It's time for OSU fans to bone up on what the new offense will look like. If, like me, you enjoy the sense of superiority you get from explaining to your friends why they're idiots for making mindl...

Just a spot to post any info, rumours, etc. regarding prospects that are considering attending The Ohio State University. I don't think there's any doubt that Urban is going to be working some serious magic on the recruiting trail and it's going to be a full time job trying to keep up...
