http://www.daytondailynews.com/dayton-sports/high-school-sports/ohsaa-says-no-to-spring-football-1130575.html This really ticks me off. I feel the OHSAA is about as corrupt as the NCAA. WE need spring football in Ohio. The southern schools have had this advantage for years now. SEC dominance ...

Rex Kern Stanley Jackson Joe Germaine Troy Smith Craig Krenzel Terrelle Pryor ... Shane Falco (Had to, deal with it!) I'm sure there will be additional names in your mind for one reason or another. That is a list for me that represents a buttload ...

I am trying to think about next year now. Even though I am still gloomy over the state of our football program and our early exit in the tourney, our immediate future (at least in basketball) is indeed bright. I am 100% confident that Jared Sullinger returns next year, however, I think Buford...

So, I've caught a little bit of feedback for labeling this team an "underachieving disappointment" in the game recap. I feel I tried to clarify how I feel about this team and I truly don't feel the comment was an emotional knee-jerk response as I tried to summarize the game ...

First posted at Inside The Shoe Ed. Note: This is part 1 of Danny's response to Brady. Part 2 will come next week and will cover more of the financial part of it all. Moving to a playoff system in the Division formerly known as 1-A is all the rage these days.  Everyone, from U...

First posted at Inside The Shoe Ed. Note: The first in a series of posts between Brady and Danny on what system is better: The BCS, or the Playoffs. The NCAA basketball tournament is at full throttle and our Ohio St. Buckeyes have been as good as advertised up to this point. George Mason ...

A: The NCAA, his bosses, The University he represents, his players and their families.  That is it, case closed.  He is famous, appears on TV and makes loads of money.  He is human.  He made a mistake.  He made his successes by virtue of his character.  He will n...

I admittedly have no idea where a post like this goes, but I didn't want to hijack a basketball thread for a separate topic...and needed to vent. My buddy writes for WFNY and they just posted this (from the Dipatch) - http://www.waitingfornextyear.com/2011/03/kirk-herbstreit-moves-out-of-...

First posted at Inside The Shoe You may have heard of Tyler Moeller, the 6'0" 210 lb senior from the Queen City. One of the fan favorites on defense, Moeller started to get some recognition in the 2008 season when he earned his first start against Illinois, recording seven tackles, t...

This is a couple days old, but I didn't see this posted anywhere on here. Who knew he was a cookie dough fiend? 10 Questions with Thad Matta 1. What's the best thing about coaching at Ohio State? Being a Buckeye, I think, just the power and the feeling you get anytime you ...

First posted at Inside The Shoe   The majority of people I have spoken to and heard on various sports shows seem to agree that losing at least one game during the regular season helps a team in the long run.  They don't have to deal with any questions about an undefeated sea...

In Part 2 of the 3 part series, I will be taking a look at and predicting where Aundrey Walker, Ejuan Price, and Cardale Jones will land. You can see Part 1 here. These next 3 recruits are pretty important to grab. Ejuan Price committed to Ohio State, but could be having second thoughts...

First posted at Inside The Shoe. Wednesday may mark a big day for Ohio State. As you know, 2 days from now, is the National Signing Day this year. This means all the big recruit names that haven't committed anywhere have to make their decision. The Buckeye's have the...

If you had a chance to catch the 2011 Senior Bowl, you would know that Dane Sanzebacher was about the only bright spot for the North team on offense (Ross Homan recorded a few tackles on defense). He had 5 receptions for 62 yards. That was the most yards receiving for the...

First Posted at Inside The Shoe (Assuming Braxton Miller starts) What happens if he has led the Buckeye’s to a 5-0 record next season when Pryor and the rest of the Tat5 are ready to rejoin the team?   This is a tough scenario to envision right now but I think it is entirel...

First posted at Inside The Shoe Braxton Miller. Get used to this name, Buckeye fans. You’ll be hearing it a lot in the near future. A five-star recruit, according to Scout, Braxton Miller is one of the top quarterbacks in the 2011 class. He is rated as one of the top ...

I was racking my brain, trying to figure out where I'd seen new Michigan Defensive Coordinator Greg Mattison before his days with the Baltimore Ravens. I remember him stalking the sidelines for another team at some point. Then it hit me. Years ago, when the head coach of the Texas State Armad...
