On Monday, Ohio State ascended to No. 1 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll.   An odd mix of mostly seniors and freshmen, the Buckeyes returned to the top spot in the nation by beating Penn State at home Saturday after Duke lost at Florida State on Wednesday. http://sports.es...

I just finished up watching Brady Hoke's introductory speech as the new head coach at Michigan.  I thought I'd share my findings with you, if you don't mind. He only spoke for six minutes before opening it up for questions.  But in those six minutes, he did the following...

  There's a big argument that these kids are being underpaid or undervalued by the market, and should get paid.  If that were the case, a minor league professional system would surely be able to be formed by the market.  But the thing is, people don't want to see ra...

Dave: Alright folks, time for tonight's Top Ten! (musical interlude) Dave: Ok, tonight's top ten is - Top Ten Options for the UofM Football Coach! Ready? #10 - Bear Byrant's hat on Les Miles' head. Dave: So Les will call the plays and run practice, but the hat mana...

Jim Tressel has added to his already impressive resume with the Buckeyes' heart attack inducing win in the Sugar Bowl against the Arkansas Razorbacks. After whiffing in two straight NCG games, the Sweatervest legion have come back swinging with two BCS victories over the past two years. The t...

I cannot do this alone. I need all of you to be my support group today, because although I've been doing ok for five weeks, today I'm a nervous wreck. Today is the day our beloved Buckeyes are taking on an SEC team in a bowl game for the 10th time. You would think the law of...

First posted on Inside The Shoe   Our Sugar Bowl opponent has some pretty good blogs out there, and one of the best, Arkansas Expats was kind enough to join us in answering questions about the Razorbacks. Arkansas has so many weapons on offense, and not just Mallett...

As you know by now, I write letters.  I wrote one to JT just to tell him I was thinking of him during this difficult time.  Apparently, so did a lot of others, so he responded to all of us with the following:   "Please excuse this informal/impersonal response to your t...

  First posted on Inside The Shoe. Brady answers the 3 biggest questions about the suspensions.  Wow! That wasn't the way Buckeye nation wanted to kick off the holiday season. Unless you have been living in a cave for the past week you know that Terrelle...

Something came to my mind earlier today. Along with the fact that some of Ohio State's best players are going to be suspended for 5 games, and maybe the Sugar Bowl (depending on what Tressel decides), maybe Buckeye fans should be thanking, yes thanking,  Wisconsin. The tatgate has h...

Just thought I'd share a picture I drew for the Sugar Bowl on Paint, it actually worked out great because this was the exact same picture I drew for the Rose Bowl last year, I just changed the duck to a razorback lol. Very convenient. Enjoy. I guess I have to reach 125 words so, I have a lot ...

I just got word from a trusted source that Marcus Freeman got the linebackers coaching job at Kent State. Freeman played at OSU from 2004-2009 and was part of a great linebacker duo along with James Laurinaitis. Freeman had a tango with the NFL as part of the Bills and texans, but had to retire p...

Apparently people have been bothering Duron on FaceBook for information about his plans regarding Ohio State. I just noticed a juicy morsel in my news feed from Duron: "People stop asking me questions about O state.... ask them..." Before he was dominating the nation a...

If you've always wanted to get your Buckeye thoughts out to an audience that numbers in the dozens, here's your golden opportunity: We are currently looking for someone to join the team as a staff writer. We'll be looking to bring someone in after the bowl game, so it ma...

LB Ryan Shazier has decommitted from Florida today after his official visits to LSU last weekend and Ohio State this weekend. He will be making his announcement later at his graduation party in the Miami area and will choose between the Bucks and Tigers. Being that all signs pointed to this b...

As an add on to yesterday's recruiting notebook, news came out that the Buckeyes have offered Cumming, GA long-snapper, Bryce Haynes. Haynes holds offers from UNC, Arkansas, and Utah State and is considered the nation's top at his position. The Bucks usually don't offer schollies...
