Eleven Warriors - A Buckeye Sports Blog

More coverage:

The official site has more video footage of Tressel and the players.

Full footage and transcripts via the B10 conference website.
Not surprisingly, Tress further downplayed the "Only between gentleman" comment.

When will you retire? How soon? Retire?

In another sure sign that God’s gift to red-blooded Americans is just around the corner, Big Ten media days kickoff today in Chicago. Jim Delaney and 10 coaches plus a guy in a wizard hat selling snake oil will take turns at the dais, but it’s [...]

Just a B?

After ESPN released their Buckeye football preview last week (courtesy of Blue Ribbon) there was a bit of confusion over the grades assigned to the units. Despite spending most of the preview heaping praise on the team, the writer saw fit to give the offense a C+, the defense a C and [...]

Time Warner’s feed of the BTN

Ohio State announced yesterday the starting times for the home OOC games, all starting at noon and two of them on the BTN. Youngstown St. and Troy have been picked up by the Network, while the Ohio U. game will be on ESPN or ESPN2.

This could be one of [...]

As others have noted, the irreverent run of the MZone has come to an end. At times it seemed as if the MZone’s only mission was to pile on Ohio State, and us, its fans (exhibit a, exhibit b and exhibit c).

Evidently Will Leitch had a warmup prior to his incident with Buzz Bissinger a few weeks back on the Costas special. He writes in the latest issue of The Sporting News, about a greenroom encounter with Cris Carter:

Somehow, I ended up being introduced to Cris Carter, formerly from HBO [...]

You never want to wish the summer away, but this season can’t really get here soon enough. We know that, despite seeing a quite a few great teams over the past seven years, this one could be special. The guys getting paid to put together rankings seem to agree as virtually every pre-preseason [...]

UPDATE: Now with new, working video and a NY Times link on the take.

And…

Or is that like the 34th shot? Anyway, Viva Leitch. And Buzz Bissinger may have anger issues.

Not to have a cock-measuring contest or anything, but I’m guessing the three writers of this site make comparable (or better) money [...]

But Can He Score without a Shoe?
Sophomore Brandon Saine received praise for his performance in last weekend’s jersey scrimmage, but the Vest’s assessment of his performance may have topped anything else said.

Tressel pointed out that Saine is adapting to the various wrinkles and schemes the team has been trying to use Saine in, emphasizing his [...]
