This year’s Buckeye basketball team has to be the deepest and most athletic team Thad Matta has put on the court during his time at Ohio State. One of the more spectacular athletes is Sam Thompson, who seems like he could jump out of the gym if he really put his mind to it. Thompson, [...]

The Ohio State Buckeyes have finally — finally! — won a game at Wisconsin’s Kohl Center. They beat the Badgers today today, 58-52, in as tough and hard-fought a game as you would ever expect to see. Jared Sullinger was a beast on the inside; he scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and Wisconsin [...]
Coach Tressel Finds A New Home

Former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel has accepted a new job. He will be moving to Akron and taking a position at the University of Akron — not as a football coach, but as the Vice President for Strategic Engagement. I’m happy for Mr. Tressel (although I will always think of him as Coach [...]
The Challenge Of The Kohl Center

Tomorrow afternoon the Ohio State Buckeyes travel to the Kohl Center to play the Wisconsin Badgers. They’re hoping to come away with their first win at Wisconsin under Coach Thad Matta. The Buckeyes have enjoyed great success under Coach Matta — but not at the Kohl Center. There, they are 0-6, and many of the [...]
Urban On The Recruiting Trail

Urban Meyer has been the head football coach at the Ohio State University for a little over two months. Tomorrow we will get the first tangible sign of his impact on the program, because it’s National Letter of Intent Signing Day! For those of you not hip-deep in college football recruiting news, breathless updates, and [...]
Time For The Nut House To Rock The Schott!

Tomorrow the Buckeyes play the Michigan Wolverines at the Schott. The winner will stay atop the Big Ten. The loser is, well, the loser. Michigan has a good team this year. Tim Hardaway is one of the Big Ten’s best offensive players. Jordan Morgan plays a tough inside game. Trey Burke has been a huge [...]
The Road Gets Tougher For The Buckeyes

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, [...]
The Big Ten, On The Road
Posted in sports, tagged Big Ten, Big Ten basketball, Buckeye Basketball, Ohio State, Ohio State Buckeyes, sports, Thad Matta on January 22, 2012 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
The Big Ten Free-For-All

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 [...]
The Buckeyes Try To Forget 2011

By the time New Year’s Eve rolls around, most people are eager to see the dawn of a new year. I’d wager that no one was happier to see 2011 in the rear view mirror than the participants in the Ohio State University football program. 2011 was a year of embarrassments unparalleled in the history [...]

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 [...]
The Buckeyes’ Ban — And Embarrassment
Posted in Ohio, sports, tagged Buckeye football, NCAA, NCAA Violations, Ohio, Ohio State, sports on December 20, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
After months of trepidation and speculation about the ongoing investigation of tattoos, non-disclosures, and lack of institutional control in the Ohio State University football program, the NCAA dropped the hammer today. The sanctions were more severe than was expected. The NCAA deprived the football program of scholarships, put the Buckeyes on probation for five years, [...]
The Buckeyes Hit The Road, To Jayhawk Land (Cont.)
Posted in sports, tagged Aaron Craft, Amir Williams, Buckeye Basketball, Deshaun Thomas, Jared Sullinger, Kansas, Ohio State, Shannon Scott, sports, William Buford on December 10, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Jared Sullinger sat out today’s game, and Ohio State fell short and suffered its first loss of the season. Kansas shot the ball well, Thomas Robinson was a beast down low, and the Jayhawks pulled away from the Buckeyes at the end, 78-67. However, I can’t be too discouraged by the Buckeyes’ play today. Clearly, [...]

So far this season, the basketball Buckeyes have stayed within the comfortable confines of the Schott. They’ve beaten some good teams — Duke and Florida among them — but you never quite know about a team’s character until you see them on the road, playing before screaming fans in a hostile arena. Today that will [...]
A Milestone For Coach Matta

Today Ohio State basketball coach Thad Matta notched his 300th career collegiate coaching victory. It is a milestone for a man who helped to haul the Ohio State basketball program out of the mire and vault it into the stratosphere — and therefore is a milestone well worth celebrating. Most of Coach Matta’s wins — [...]
