Playing in front of a friendly home crowd, the Buckeyes shot lights out in the first half and gave their reserves plenty of playing time in the second half. They ended up beating Illinois 83-67, in a [...]

Ohio State pulverized Penn State tonight, 78-54. The Nittany Lions were just overmatched, as Ohio State improved to 6-2 in the Big Ten and 18-3 overall. It was a good victory for the Buckeyes, who have won their last three games resoundingly after a tough loss to Illinois. Tonight, the Ohio State offense was clicking, [...]

Tonight Big Ten basketball teams begin playing their conference schedules. Wisconsin takes on Nebraska, and Illinois plays Minnesota. Ohio State kicks off its Big Ten season tomorrow against Northwestern. It should be a very interesting Big Ten season. By far the most surprising team so far has been Indiana. The Hoosiers, who were woeful the [...]

This has been a dreadful season for the Buckeye Nation. We’ve seen our coach, Jim Tressel, resign under fire. We’ve dealt with an embarrassing NCAA scandal that cut out the heart of our offense. We’ve watched the Buckeyes give up big leads, fritter away games, and play like pretenders rather than contenders. But all of [...]
The Big Ten Gets Interesting

I don’t like the idea of the “Legends” and “Leaders” divisions of the Big Ten, but I have to admit that the first years of the new format has turned out to be very interesting. Even the most diehard Big Ten fans grudgingly must admit that there are no dominant teams in the conference this [...]

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 [...]

How many small towns in America have you driven through on summer vacations where a white clapboard church was a prominent part of the local scenery? In colonial days, and for more than a hundred years thereafter, a town’s local church was the center of activity and social life. Those churches typically were not grand, [...]

Lately it has been very difficult living in Columbus, Ohio. Since Jim Tressel’s surprise resignation on Memorial Day, we fans and graduates of The Ohio State University have seen the reputation of that much-loved institution besmirched and ridiculed in the national press. It has been very hard to swallow, and many despairing Buckeye fans have [...]

Occasionally you will see a story that just makes you shake your head in dismay about what it says about the human condition. For me, at least, so it is with a story about a guy in Michigan who won $2 million in the state lottery TV show called “Make Me Rich,” but nevertheless remains [...]

Former Michigan head football coach Rich Rodriguez has told CBS Sports that you could look back and conclude that his leaving West Virginia for Michigan was “a mistake.” Rodriguez had been successful at WVU, which was his alma mater. When he decided to leave for Michigan, he earned the everlasting enmity of Mountaineer fans and [...]

Ohio State won another tough Big Ten battle tonight, beating arch-rival Michigan 62-53. The game was a tale of two halves. In the first half, the Buckeyes were out of sync offensively. They turned the ball over and could not hit open shots. They scored 23 points, had several defensive breakdowns, and went into the [...]

A lot of people have been saying that the Big Ten is the strongest basketball conference in the country this year, and it is beginning to look like they might be right. Five games into the conference schedule (six for Minnesota, Northwestern, and Penn State), it looks like the Big Ten has a number of [...]

Last week the University of Michigan cleaned house by firing former head football coach Rich Rodriguez, and now Rodriguez is engaging in his own kind of housecleaning. Rodriguez donated 432 items of Michigan apparel — 12 bags full — to a Salvation Army store in Wayne, Michigan. The assortment includes caps, shirts, and jackets, ranging [...]

The Michigan Wolverines have hired Brady Hoke as the new head football coach. Hoke, who looks somewhat like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, is a former Michigan assistant who was the head coach of San Diego State and formerly the head coach at Ball State. Hoke’s hiring brings Michigan’s coaching search to an end. I [...]
