Some traditionalists objected to Nebraska joining the Big Ten. Would the Cornhuskers have been invited if Big Ten officials knew that the University has an embarrassing bedbug problem? Officials at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln admit that they’ve found bedbugs in student rooms and common areas in four dorms. An article in the Lincoln Journal Star [...]

The Big Ten, On The Road

The Big Ten is tough this year, and road wins are especially hard to come by. Just ask the Buckeyes — they lost two heart-breakers on the road. That’s why last night’s win against Nebraska was so valuable. Nebraska clearly is not one of the elite teams in the Big Ten, but this is a [...]

This afternoon Ohio State hosts Indiana at the Schott. Even though the season is young, it’s being viewed as a must-win game for the Buckeyes — but then again, just about every game in the Big Ten this year may be of the must-win variety. This year appears to be the most balanced Big Ten [...]

Tonight Big Ten basketball teams begin playing their conference schedules. Wisconsin takes on Nebraska, and Illinois plays Minnesota.

Today Ohio State basketball coach Thad Matta notched his 300th career collegiate coaching victory.
