Tonight the Ohio State Buckeyes play their first road game of the 2011 season, at 7:30 against the Miami Hurricanes.

Ohio State stayed undefeated today, beating a game Toledo Rockets squad 27-22. By winning, the Buckeyes kept alive a 90-year-old streak against other Ohio teams — and woe betide the OSU head coach who sees that streak end on his watch — but they also gave their coaches lots to talk about in getting the [...]

Tomorrow the Toledo Rockets land in Ohio Stadium for a noon game. They are expected to give the Buckeyes a much tougher test than did the Akron Zips. Toledo has a strong record of knocking off teams from the power conferences. Big Ten fans will remember that Toledo has beaten Michigan, Penn State, Minnesota, and [...]

Today the Buckeyes started their new era — an era without Jim Tressel and Terrelle Pryor — and beat Akron, 42-0. The win was, if anything, even more convincing than the one-sided score. Defensively, the Buckeyes were dominant. They held the Zips to 90 yards, forced a turnover, and didn’t let Akron get within spitting [...]

I’m not going to Ohio State’s home opener tomorrow, and I’m kind of glad. Normally the first games of the year are great. You get back into the football mode, do a little tailgating, watch the Buckeyes kick the butt of some overmatched team, and get to see lots of players play. But tomorrow’s game [...]

Ohio State has self-reported more NCAA infractions and suspended three more players for the opening game against Akron. The players are running back Jordan Hall and defensive backs Travis Howard and Corey Brown. They reported that they received less than $300 in “impermissible benefits” while attending a charitable event earlier this year. Ohio State has [...]

All in all, the last 10 years have been a pretty sweet ride for Ohio State football fans. The team won a national championship, dominated the Big Ten, and repeatedly qualified for BCS bowl games. Sure, there were two national championship game beatdowns mixed in with the good stuff, but for the most part the [...]

Tonight there is a profound sense of unease in Columbus. Republican and Democrat, old and young, Deadhead or Justin Bieber fan — it makes no difference. We all fret about what will happen tomorrow when the Ohio State University goes before the NCAA Committee on Infractions to address the issues with the football program. The [...]

The Terrelle Pryor saga continues to grind along, and it isn’t pretty. Pryor, who will not be using his last year of eligibility at Ohio State — he was suspended for the first five games, anyway — wants to enter the NFL supplemental draft. In order to establish his eligibility for that draft, he has [...]

The latest step in the ongoing saga of “Tattoogate,” former Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel’s failure to disclose knowledge of apparent NCAA violations, and related issues occurred today, when the Buckeyes put in Ohio State’s response to the NCAA investigation. Ohio State announced that it will vacate all of the Buckeyes’ wins from [...]

Shocking news on this Memorial Day — the Ohio State University announced this morning that it has accepted the resignation of head football coach Jim Tressel. This news is immensely sad.

I was saddened to learn of the recent death of Ron Springs. He was only 54, and he was one of the people who contributed greatly to the rich history and traditions of Ohio State football. Ron Springs was more than just a former Ohio State football player, of course. He had battled diabetes and [...]
