Dohrmann and Evans SI Piece

Perhaps I am too close to the situation to give an objective opinion on the matter, but I am going to give it anyhow.  My wife's family all went to Oklahoma State and my FIL played football there.  To say they bleed orange is certainly an understatement.  I have attended numerous ...

Trolling in Ann Arbor

I find myself in Ann Arbor this week on bidness.  Why, you ask? Maybe I am a bad person and am being punished for past transgressions. In any event, I decided to don an Ohio State shirt last night and spend the evening (s)trolling down S. Main St., which is one of two main drags in Ann Arbor (...

Imagine a world without Kickers

Hello, 11 Dubbers!  I am an up and coming science fiction writer ("up and coming"= nobody's has ever heard of me) and I would like your opinions. The current project I'm working on is some near-future speculative fiction (Don't worry, the point is coming). I wanted to sta...

The Victory Cigar - San Diego State

I have been enjoying a Victory Cigar after (almost) every Ohio State game for several years. I know others have spoken out about their love of a good smoke and others have said that they are considering starting this as a new tradition. I hope that this can be a place where connoisseurs can let othe...

Buckeye Charting - Buffalo Defense

Excellent Defensive performance all around. Shazier is a beast. Bennett played well, too. All of the starters with the exception of Reeves I would say had a good day. The biggest takeaway I had from this is how hard it was to bring down Oliver. We were giving him no room to run, but he still almost ...

Buckeye Charting - Buffalo Offense

Here are the results from the Buffalo game. In the future I have more analysis, but for now I'm just happy to have a script working to get this data into a blog post. I'll try to put up the defense later tonight! The San Diego State game should go much smoother now that I've got everythi...

Big Weekend for the B1G

Up until now the B1G has been playing some pretty good football. In week one the B1G went 10-2 with a 2-1 record to other BCS conference teams. The other loss came in a close game to NIU who were in the Orange bowl last year. In the second week the Big Ten went 11-1 with a 3-0 record against BCS op...

Please consult this style guide before contributing to the Buckeye Charting Project. It will explain what should go in each column in the spreadsheet. Note: I have rearranged the spreadsheet to type to make it easier to fill in. The first columns should all now align with the information you can pu...

Rundown: No. 14 Notre Dame at No. 17 That Team

the running start TV: Tonight, 8:00 (ESPN) Like many of you I will be rooting for the asteroid while watching tonight's game. Hopefully the series will resume before the return of Halley's Comet. Perhaps Notre Dame would like to resume its losing ways to Ohio State? With tha...

Rundown: San Diego State at No. 2 Ohio State

the running start TV: Saturday, 3:30 (ABC) Since 2002 the Buckeyes are 67-7 (.905) at home. Braxton Miller only needs 18 rushing yards to become the all-time leading rusher at QB for Ohio State. The Buckeyes have returned a punt, or kickoff, for a touchdown in ten-straight seasons. Ohio Stat...

For those traveling for the Cal game...

A few weeks back during the preview for the Cal game, an impromptu discussion popped up regarding things to see/do/eat while in the bay area for the game.  I've now lived in the bay area almost as long as I lived in Cbus growing up.  Sadly, I still don't feel like a local and I don...

The Opponent's Week Befores

Multiple Undefeateds

It's early, no doubt. But the good (well, really, bad) thing about college football is that for any moderately great team you can write off half the schedule before it even begins. It's 4-5 games that define your season. Either way, this could be a tricky year for Ohio State if they're t...
