Sunday Everyone just slept until Monday.   Monday Fisher went out of business. And students couldn't believe it was the last week of classes, but would have been angry if it wasn't.   Tuesday The OSU police inadvertently arrested a real criminal at Kenned...

I've seen a few partial panic-mode posts the last few days regarding the shape of our 2014 recruiting class, so I thought this blog was worth making. Here are your reasons why you shouldn't freak out about the 2014 class: 1) It's April 16th (as of midnight), that means there are a...

"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17 There is some dissension among OSU fans regarding whether being a "true OSU fan" means that we should root for UM to lose in every situation: lose every game environment, lose every recruiting battle, ...

SUNDAY The first Oval beach day was ruined by an Oval beached whale. And following its second threat notification within a week, the OSU police opened investigations into a suspicious package seen on Chat Roulette, the pool drowning death of a SIMS character, and a mean YouTube comment made b...

CINCINNATI, OH - While this year's edition of Buckeye-on-Buckeye football will take place in Cincinnati instead of the Shoe, the story is the same. Ohio State's coaches want to see which players care least about the possibility of injuring a teammate. While most are expected to play it safe...

As a resident of the city of Cincinnati I felt it my responsibility to clue some of my fellow 11Ws into Cincinnati Do's especially when it comes to the downtown area. Parking I'd surmise a vast majority will be driving and returning to their respective cities.  As such parking will...

After reading in Gene's Quick Bits thread that Marshon Lattimore plans to visit Michigan (not a huge surprise), it got me to thinking about the sort of meltdown many fans might have if we miss on Lattimore this year -- not to mention, if Michigan were to get him haha. I feel a bit spoiled in the...

1. I would rather have an appendectomy without anesthetic than root for AACC. Thank you Louisville! Why didn't you do that last year, Kansas? 2. What I take away from the tournament as a whole is the role of three point shooting. There are many reasons why teams win or lose but what struck me t...

Sunday Sources discovered that the campus dining location 'Burritos' is apparently run by middle schoolers from the year 2007. Monday We changed our twitter name to "The Lantern" and tricked some poor souls into thinking Braxton Miller might transfer because April foo...

Interview by Curt Heinrichs Curt Heinrichs 1) Starting at the beginning, how did you get into wrestling? Nick Heflin - When I was younger I was extremely hyper and my poor mom could not take me. She heard from another mother that wrestling would tire out her son , thus my wrestling career began. ...

There are plenty of eyes outside of Columbus, Ohio that are currently pinned directly on the football and basketball programs of The Ohio State University. We know this because many are accompanied by a voice commenting on everything from our special teams coach and his ‘distaste’ for ...

Sunday Korie Lucious filed a transfer application back to Michigan State during Ohio State's game against Iowa State. A team who only shoots 3s was beaten by a 3 from a player who never shoots 3s. Charles Barkley thought Ohio State should be a 16 seed. Walk-on player Jake Lorbach got...

For many of us (and especially for the very colorfully-spoken among us on the open thread), tonight's loss to the Fighting Totos of Wichita State was probably one of the most deflating losses in a long time. Yes, the debacle and Madison was ugly, and it always hurts to lose in Ann Arbor, but the...

The NFL is known for college coaches that were bad NFL coaches, but what about the other way around? Some aren't familiar with the idea, but these people exist. Let's get with the countdown, and if there are any I missed, let me know in the comments. Okay, here we go: 5. Bill Callahan - Neb...

I am not going to jinx us and predict Ohio State going to the Final Four; rather, this is about teams playing in domes in the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight games having an advantage against teams that played their Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight games in more traditional arenas.  This year Ohio S...

* (other than Jim Tressel, who technically "resigned") There's been some good decisions when it comes to new coaches being hired & fired over the past ten years, and some bad decisions. I arrived at this list with 5 criteria: What was the state of the program before the coach...

I just wanted to apologize to everyone for today's Skull Session, and explain a bit about what happened. I already talked about it on twitter, but the short story is that I had not slept for a few days, ended up having to work a much longer workday than usual yesterday, and when I was finally ab...

Recap by Curt Heinrichs The NCAA wrestling tournament has come to an end with a somewhat predictable outcome: the Penn State Nittany Lions ended up on top to win their 3rd consecutive national title. This time, Penn State was challenged a bit more closely by Oklahoma State. Quentin Wright’...

Great win by the Bucks yesterday!  Aaron - stellar.  DT - awesome.  Shannonator - beast mode.  Q - killin' it softly.  Here's my gripe:  why did Thad take Q out when he was clearly feeling it with the ball yesterday???  He was getting good looks and sh...

Sunday The official St. Patrick's Day colors were changed to scarlet and gray as Ohio State won the Big Ten tournament. Despite Berggren their Brust efforts, Wisconsin Evansually found out Jackson threes all day wouldn't beat Ohio State. Following OSU's victory, IU players rushed t...
