Hello everyone, it's Northern Virginia Buckeye (or NoVA Buckeye for short) and I'd like to go into recruiting a bit right now. 2013 DE Jon Allen (Ashburn, VA / Stone Bridge), the #1 Defensive End according to many recruiting website, has announced that he has narrowed his top choices down t...

UrbzRenewel informed me that only a couple of paragraphs and a link should be posted, so here is the edited entry. ESPN is not shy when it comes to their lovefest with the SEC and hatred of Ohio State and the B1G. Nobody can convince me otherwise on either account — period, end of story. S...

Laquon Treadwell is just what the doctor ordered for Ohio State. The Buckeyes, who will be running a spread offense under new coach Urban Meyer, will be strong with the run but also need play-making wide receivers to make their offense whole. That’s where Treadwell comes in. A 6...

http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/48913/bcs-meetings-proximity-a-priority-for-b1g In this article, it seems as if the SEC is against on-campus playoff games. Is there any reason that I'm missing that this is the case? It's not like the SEC has any less of a home field advantage...

“Games are won in the trenches.” Sure, we’ve all heard this saying, and that’s fine and dandy if one team has an major advantage in one trench or the other, but what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?  In other words, what can we expect w...

With the NFL draft coming up rather quickly, I decided to look at how many Big 10 offensive linemen have been taken within the first five rounds over the past 20 years.  The numbers are not shocking.  We suck, firmly entrenched in the middle/bottom of the pack, furiously holdi...

Ok, this is a College Football blog so the 4 people that read this already knew about Bobby 'Admiral Moron' Petrino. Anyway, this reminds me of springtimes past when the 'Tressel Knew' Story hit the waves.  Boy oh boy, don't we remember.  But, OSU, full of resili...

"Students in first, staff and faculty line up over here - cellphones off and put away!" No, in my years here at OSU - the one year from '97-98, or the ones starting in Winter 2009 - I have never been in the Woody Hayes Athletic Complex.  I could park there with my C permit,...

A recent article in teh Sorting News on teh "Problems" at Florida with Meyer and after. I went through and as I encountered then, I copied and pasted…this is what substitutes for journalism now… Multiple sources told Sporting News that Meyer… …  on...

The NCAA by their bylaws rules and regulations have made a farce of collegiate athletics. The one and done dilemna that plauges universities and thier supporters is a sign of our society and the "G" factor. Greed has overtaken the better judgement of our people from the government to th...

Eleven Warriors is seeking a hard-working and knowledgeable sports reporter to cover Ohio State athletics on a regular basis. Eleven Warriors is one of the largest Ohio State sports websites on the internet, and provides consistent and thorough reporting and analysis of the Buckeyes in&...

Just a rugged looking kid out of Toledo, Ohio, William Buford made his commitment to play basketball for The Ohio State University as a part of the class of 2008. In an era of "one-and-dones" and early departures to the NBA, William Buford stood out as a special kind of player and perso...

I know that 11W will have their own preview, but being a big fan of both teams and watching a majority of their games this year I figured I would give it a go.  It’s a bit late, but you can consider it my official application for the 11W beat reporter spot.  I tended to write a bi...

Just watched OSU-Syracuse again and have a few thoughts: 1. Craft is FAR and away our most important player. He is unimaginably disruptive to the opponents lead guard, he brings patience, stability and a calming presence on offense and he is an emotional leader out there who pulls the team to...

http://cincinnati.com/blogs/daugherty/2012/03/23/the-mourning-line-323/ Paul Daugherty, Cincinnati Enquirer, was catching a lot of flack here on 11W this morning for that piece he posted.  However, he also wrote this where he gives a lot of credit to how OSU played point by point. At...

From the start of the season, William Buford was supposed to be a key player, and starter to the Buckeyes this year. But what happened? He reminded me of a great football player, Cameron Heyward. They both took games off and didn't try at all. It was a disappointment of a senior season for hi...

As nice as it has been to brag about Ohio putting 4 teams into the Sweet Sixteen, it’s now time to focus on a matchup that will end the season and send home one of those teams.  The Bearcats of Cincinnati are an interesting team to meet in the tournament, because they play a 4 guard ro...
