Looking back now, it’s hard to recapture the complex mix of emotions that gripped Ohio State football fans during the 2002 season, but the story demands that we try to do so. The team had made it through an undefeated season relying on a stout, deep, hard-hitting defense led by safety Mike Doss, the tough [...]

A week from today the Ohio State Buckeyes will play the Miami Hurricanes at Ohio Stadium. The game has a 3:30 kickoff, and I am sure that diehard fans of both the Buckeyes and the Hurricanes will be tailgating and getting ready starting early in the morning. I’ll have more thoughts on the game itself, [...]
A Good Start

Richard, Cath, Brittany and I went to the Ohio State-Marshall game tonight. We sat in Section 28A, Row 32 of a packed Horseshoe on a hot and muggy evening and watched as the Buckeyes rolled, 45-7. It was a convincing win, and it was one of those games where there were many more positives than [...]
The Thundering Herd, On Deck

The Buckeyes have completed fall camp and begin their season Thursday night against the Marshall Thundering Herd. First games always make me nervous, and this game is no exception. The other team hasn’t played, and you don’t have any film or tendencies to study. In addition, in the past few years Ohio State has played [...]

mgoblog.com is a funny, entertaining blog about Michigan sports that is an enjoyable read for any sports fan (even if it is written by a diehard Michigan fan). I am therefore pleased to note that Brian, the redoubtable head man at mgoblog, agrees that messing with the Ohio State-Michigan traditional end-of-the-year matchup would be colossally [...]

The post-expansion rumblings from Big Ten headquarters are troubling because they indicate that conference officials may decide to mess with The Game. The latest article quotes Michigan’s Athletic Director as making comments that raise serious questions about whether Ohio State and Michigan will continue to play their end-of-season showdown game. Michigan’s AD says he [...]

The 2010 Ohio State Buckeyes fall football camp is underway, and therefore the countdown to the new season can begin in earnest. The Marshall game is just a few weeks away, the Miami Hurricanes lurk just behind, and another tough, hard-hitting, and exciting Big Ten football season looms on the horizon. Time to strap it [...]

The Big Ten football meetings occurred yesterday and produced good news and bad news for football traditionalists. The good news is that the Big Ten is going to move from an eight-game in-conference schedule to a nine-game in-conference schedule to try to preserve rivalries. If that means that Big Ten teams will play a conference [...]
Jack Tatum

I was sorry to learn of the death of Jack Tatum today. I was even sorrier to read stories that said that Tatum was “best known” for delivering the hit that paralyzed wide receiver Darryl Stingley. It seems unfair for unfortunate one play to so define a player — particularly a player of Tatum’s caliber, [...]

As we suffer through the painful heat of a blistering July, thoughts naturally turn to . . . Ohio State football. The Buckeyes’ fall football camp starts in a month or so, and the first game is September 2, against Marshall. It’s been a tough, seemingly endless period of withdrawal from college football since the [...]

It is now official: the Chancellor of the University of Nebraska has asked the school’s Board of Regents to authorize an application for Nebraska to join the Big Ten. He expects the application to be accepted by the Big Ten, and I do, too. It seems unimaginable that Nebraska and the Big Ten schools haven’t [...]
Should Brutus Buckeye Be Updated?

Every true Ohio State fan knows Brutus Buckeye. In his current incarnation, Brutus is a muscular figure with a two-tone buckeye nut head that has human features. He wears a Block O cap, a scarlet and grey striped rugby shirt with “Brutus” emblazoned across the chest, and scarlet sweat pants. Ever discreet, he sports a [...]
Breaking In The New Ohio Union

Ohio State recently tore down the Ohio Union that existed when I attended the school in ’70s and built a brand new, high tech replacement. I haven’t been there, but Richard has and says its very nicely done — even if the scarlet and gray decor might be a bit overdone. Earlier this week marked [...]

Evan Turner of the Ohio State men’s basketball team announced today that he is skipping his senior year and entering the NBA draft. I’m sorry to see him go, because I think Turner is a good guy who has been a diligent student and good representative of the University — as well as being an [...]

Last night the Buckeyes fell short in their bid for the Elite 8, falling to Tennessee 76-73. It was a tough, back-and-forth game, but ultimately Tennessee’s outright dominance of the boards, free throw shooting, and flypaper defense on Buckeye sharpshooter Jon Diebler carried them to a narrow victory. The Volunteers deserve credit for playing a [...]
