Urban Meyer Statement

Here is Coach Meyer's statement, just released from OSU: “I was pleased to take part in a productive, regularly scheduled meeting of the Big Ten Conference coaches today in Chicago. We had an opportunity to discuss a number of issues with each other and conference staff, including t...

Ohio State True #1 in Hoops

By John Gasaway, ESPN Insider On Saturday, Ohio State will play at Wisconsin, and the conventions of sports writing suggest it's foolish to write a piece about how great any team is right before it plays in Madison. You may have heard that the Badgers tend to win a very high percentage of...

Jaamal Berry

The following was posted by an Administrator at Buckeye Planet:  "With permission to repost Nevada....Jaamal has been granted his release."     It's been discussed for a while now that Berry is going to be one of the ones leaving the program but it'...

Hidden Gem in 2012 Recruiting Class

As much as I could make this a Jamal Marcus post, because I think he was universally underrated, I wouldn't quite call him a hidden gem at this point. Once Urban said his highlights bordered on "ridiculous", the cat was pretty much out of the bag, so to speak. Plus, at this point, M...

Why I love 11W

I've been reading 11w since about september of this year, and I cannot tell you all how much I appreciate this site. The content is unrivaled, from game coverage, previews, recruiting (alex and jeremy are killing it these past few weeks!), and all sorts of other things. But I think the bigges...

Who started seven nation army

I had a debate the other night with one of my friends on which school started the seven nation army chant.  He said PSU, I said OSU.  I was in B deck in the south stands when OSU played the night game vs USC.  The score board operator played it once and the student section got nuts...

"Sinister" Thomas will average 25 in '12-'13

Why not? We all know that Deshaun isn't bashful and he is certainly an incredibly talented scorer. Looking at next year's team (making certain assumptions), #1 is the logical #1 offensive weapon. I also have to say that "Sinister" is the perfect nickname for the wicked south-paw...

Inspiration is Contagious

A charity will get $100K. It should be Coach Matta's. Go vote. A Buckeye victory of any kind of among your life's greatest pleasures. The only way that sweetness could be improved would be to tie it directly into benefitting the greater good. The good people at Infiniti have partn...

Urban is Not Perfect... My Thoughts

Let me start this off by saying how excited I am about Urban Meyer and the new coaching staff. They should do tremendous things for years to come at Ohio State. However, over the past couple months I've become increasingly annoyed at my Buckeye brethren (don't mistake me for saying I stil...

Coach Jim Tressel,

The post regarding the little four year old Bryson, his mower accident and the surprise hospital visit by Coach Tressel was touching and I believe is indicative of the moral character of this man. A somewhat similar incident occured Dec. 18, 2006. Our family was in Columbus attending the fune...

Playoffs? No. A Tournament of Champions? Yes.

Where's the best place to measure the human factor in any sport? On the field of play, damn it! Let the press publish college football polls. But, why should its opinion determine who is the champion? This is the central issue behind the Mythical National Champion(ship). The fact that opi...

SEC = Mythical

I don't hold Vince Young's 2005 MNC Longhorns in high esteem - because they were handed the crystal, by a USC team high on itself. By the same reasoning, the SEC's ongoing championship streak can be deemed fraudulent. It can be argued the SEC was USC's biggest beneficiary, bet...

The Real Jim Tressel

Great story I came across. Go Bucks. You won't be able to read or hear about this story on ESPN, Sports Illustrated, or the Columbus Dispatch this week. You see there is nothing, as a fallen people, that we like better than a story of a good man who also has fallen - sad isn't it. (Be...
