Gold Pants Futures Take a Beating

  • By Jason - November 20th, 2008

A trader reacts to the fall

COLUMBUS, Nov 20 (11W Financial Wire) - Columbus Gold Pants futures suffered their sharpest one day drop in history today as investors moved with the advancing line for the game.

After opening at $9.41, a mass sell off left the miniatures at $2.11, which reflects their lowest value since the awards [...]

11W Mix Tape: From Tipoff to Kickoff Edition

Hoops Squad Set to Begin 2008-09 Season
Lost in Michigan Week is the fact Thad Matta’s troops begin the regular season tonight at 6:30pm against Delaware State. The game takes place in a real basketball venue, St. John Arena, and can be seen on the Big Ten Network.

There are still plenty of tickets available to [...]

11W Weekend Update: Sponsored by HATE

  • By Corey - November 20th, 2008

With a win, Leach and Harrell can clinch the Big 12 South.

After passing off the most boring slate of football to Jason last week, this coming weekend will begin to decide where teams will end up in the bowls.

The television gods have given us a full day of games, starting with The Game at noon.

I [...]

A Cross Between Music and Cannon Fire

Baller

Last week, in honor of the Ohio State-Illinois game, we took a look at the Illini’s “Galloping Ghost,” Red Grange. This week, in honor of the Ohio State-Michigan game, we’ll take a look at a player who was better than Red Grange: Ohio State’s Chic Harley.

In 1950 the Associated Press named its All-Star College [...]

Rodriguez’s Economy Message Resonating

  • By Jason - November 19th, 2008

Sad, really.

You’ve witnessed the transfers. You’ve seen a recruiting class fall apart with a wave of defections. You held out hope before Toledo did the unthinkable. You suffered through four hours of bad weather and shoddy play last weekend before watching the Northwestern Wildcats walk out of the Big House with a [...]

Hitting Rewind: Defense vs. Illinois

  • By Jason - November 19th, 2008

This is a partial list of teams that surrendered fewer yards to the Illini than the Buckeyes did Saturday: Louisiana-Lafayette, Iowa and Western Michigan. So it was curious that the Buckeye defense, which had been peaking, was carved up so easily in Champaign.

Granted, it was the Big Ten’s top offense and they’re powered by [...]

Spielman, Herbie Stoke the Rivalry Flames

  • By Chris - November 18th, 2008

In case you don’t get 1460 The Fan which is likely if you live outside the outerbelt, Herbstreit and Spielman had a great back and forth yesterday as they discussed this Saturday’s clash.

With tongues somewhat in cheek, the two didn’t paint a pretty picture when discussing the Wolverines and what they expect to occur in [...]

The Game Prediction Contest

  • By Jason - November 18th, 2008

Program covers from The Game, left to right: 1941, 1949, 1954, 1955, 1961 and 1968

It’s been a while since we’ve held a prediction contest, but you know the Wolverines rate one every season, regardless of gross failitude from parts up North.

This time we have a pretty cool prize to offer. Pictures Plus Online has [...]

Buckeye NFLer of the Week: 11

  • By Corey - November 18th, 2008

A little foreshadowing for the weekend? Antonio Pittman is finally getting his chance in the pros.

For the first time in a few weeks, this was actually a tough decision, as a handful of Buckeyes had performances that would win the award in other weeks.

Perhaps they sensed it was Michigan week. I know I [...]

Presser Notes: Michigan Week

  • By Chris - November 18th, 2008

An oldie but a goodie.

To start with, I love Beanie “Warrior” Wells more than Nutty Bars.

With that out of the way, let’s move on to this week’s presser. The thing was damn near comical as Tressel struggled to gloss the Wolverines in his opening statement resorting to comments about their passion and never say [...]
