Normally Columbus is a grim place when Ohio State has lost to Michigan. If you walked around Columbus right now, however, you’d see a lot of upbeat people — and it’s all because Ohio State has hired Urban Meyer as its head football coach. It’s not just because Coach Meyer has been an extremely successful [...]

This afternoon the Ohio State Buckeyes play a home game at the Horseshoe against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Normally this would just be another hard-fought Big Ten game — but, in the midst of the awful scandal that has rocked Penn State, these are not normal times. There obviously is nothing funny about allegations [...]

Saturday night, the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team plays its first conference game as a member of the Big Ten. When the ball is kicked off and that game begins, the long-awaited expansion of the Big Ten becomes a reality. Fittingly, Nebraska’s first game is also a big game, and one that should give them a [...]

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.

Worst Trophy Ever

College football features lots of weird trophies that are steeped in tradition, like old oaken buckets and wooden turtles and long axes, among others. It would be hard to say which of the many trophies is the weirdest or the worst — until now. A few days ago the Iowa Corn Growers Association unveiled the [...]

Today is National Signing Day. For those of you who don’t follow college football — and if you fall into that category, you really should reconsider your life priorities — National Signing Day is the day that high school athletes sign letters committing to attend certain schools. National Signing Day has become a kind of [...]

The Ohio State University and the Buckeye Nation got a shock yesterday, as the NCAA announced that six players would be suspended for violations of NCAA rules. The players include starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor, starting tailback Dan “Boom” Herron, wide receiver DeVier Posey, starting lineman Mike Adams, and two reserves. The players apparently accepted discounts [...]
Big Ten, Big Lame

The Big Ten — having ditched decades of tradition by deciding to split into divisions and play a conference championship football game — has decided to make matters worse by giving the divisions the lamest names imaginable. I am not exaggerating. One division will be called “Leaders” and the other will be called “Legends.” Seriously, [...]

After losing at Wisconsin last Saturday night and falling to number 10 in the polls, the Buckeyes came roaring back yesterday. On a fine fall day in Columbus, overcast and perfect for college football, they trounced Purdue, 49-0. The score really isn’t reflective of how one-sided the game was. Ohio State led 42-0 at halftime [...]

This week the Buckeyes travel to Madison, Wisconsin and Camp Randall Stadium to take on the Badgers in the biggest game of the season to date. Freshly dubbed the no. 1 team in the country, the Buckeyes must find a way to beat a tough, physical team in a night game in one of the [...]

The Buckeyes took care of business yesterday, beating the Indiana Hoosiers 38-10 at the Horseshoe. It was a good game all around. The first team moved the ball on offense and put the game out of reach quickly. The defense shut down Indiana’s previously high-flying offense, holding the Hoosiers without a touchdown until fourth [...]
Finding EMU

Ohio State plays the Eastern Michigan University Eagles today. The Eagles play in the MAC, and they aren’t very good. In fact, they’ve lost 15 games in a row. As a result, Ohio State is a prohibitive favorite to prevail in the match-up. Today’s contest will be one of those games where Ohio State really [...]
