The Fail Procession
As we await word on Beanie, let’s take a look at how the Big Ten fared this weekend. You’ll remember my pleas for solidarity as I was hoping the conference would take advantage of some of its marquee out-of-conference games to earn a little street cred infusion.
The early games all went as [...]
In discussing how we should reshape our blogpoll ballot after this week’s games it was brought up that if last season was the year of the upset, this season might be the year of the injury.
After a preseason filled with such stories, yesterday was more of the same with Ohio State, Georgia (Moreno/Owens) and Missouri [...]

The Beanie Contingency?
Reports are still varied on the status of Beanie’s right foot with talk of either turf toe, a torn ligament or possibly a lisfranc sprain serving as the most repeated versions. All we know so [...]
And we wait…
The Buckeyes turned in an excellent afternoon, especially on defense, and the prized young recruit showed people that he is every bit as talented as most of us thought he’d be in routing Youngstown State 43-0, but the Beanie Wells injury dominated all game talk from the 3rd quarter on and that’s all [...]
The one guy that the Buckeyes could least afford to have injured has gone down. I’m sure we won’t hear anything official for a while, but that was a serious injury of some sort.
Boom, Saine and Wells are going to have to step up.
UPDATE: Tressel said post-game that it was a “foot thing” and [...]
As we get set to kick off this 113th season of Big Ten football, we’re conscious that the conference is currently rolling with a negative street cred balance. Because of that perception, we find ourselves a fan of every other team in the Big Ten during these first few weekends of the year. [...]

First, the obligatory plea to banish all future games against FCS opponents. USC doesn’t do it. Even Michigan State has never played an FCS team. They are no-win games [...]
Bored with the NFL
Ah, kickoff. And the OBC to start off the season, no less. I’m trying to figure out how much I’d pay to get a live feed from his mic for the game — in Imaginationland they offer this on PPV — and I’m thinking I’d gladly shell out $5 for [...]
All right, Marlboro men. This one’s for you.
This week’s eBay treasure is a vintage Horseshoe ashtray that’ll have you burning down at a prolific rate just to give your precious cig’s the privilege of resting inside the ‘Shoe in between puffs.
As an added bonus, there’s no recorded message of some blue hair yelling at your [...]
While the sight of college football tonight may ease the pain for some of you, we all know these next 2 days are possibly the longest of the year. Your legs twitch uncontrollably, you can’t sleep starting tonight and the nervous sensation in your stomach just won’t go away.
It’s been Buckeye overload for me [...]
