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, [...]

Paterno’s Legacy

ESPN is reporting that Joe Paterno is dead at 85. According to the story, he died this morning after fighting a two-month battle against lung cancer. Paterno was a legendary coach who took the Penn State program to the pinnacle of college football, but his legacy will be forever tarnished by the alleged child sex [...]

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 [...]
Adding To The Agony

I was enormously saddened to see that Penn State students rioted after the school, correctly, relieved head coach Joe Paterno and the University’s president of their jobs. Penn State is at the center of a scandal that has given the school a terrible black eye. The University can’t change the past, but it can try [...]
Horror In State College

The story told by the grand jury report on former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky is truly horrific. It is a terrible thing to read, and an even more terrible thing to contemplate, because it says deeply disturbing things about our society. Of course, the allegations of Sandusky’s wrongful interactions with underage boys are [...]
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 [...]

You so often read and hear about bad conduct by student athletes, it is refreshing to read about acts that reflect class and sportsmanship — and when the student athletes in question play for the team you root for, it is even better. Yesterday, after Ohio State had beaten Penn State in the Big Ten [...]

The Ohio State Buckeyes spanked Indiana today, while Purdue crushed Michigan State. Their victories set up what should be an interesting final week of the Big Ten regular season. The Buckeyes close at Penn State, on Tuesday night, and then finish at home against Wisconsin on Sunday. Purdue, in the meantime, hosts Illinois on Tuesday [...]

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 [...]

JV graciously invited me to join him at tonight’s OSU-Penn State game at the Schott. (Thanks, JV!) It was an excellent, hard-fought, exciting game, and the Buckeyes ultimately prevailed behind the stellar play of Aaron Craft and back-to-back natural three-point plays by Jared Sullinger. Tonight, the freshmen led the way. The win puts the Buckeyes [...]

Today five Big Ten teams play in bowl games. The big game will be Wisconsin versus TCU in the Rose Bowl, but other Big Ten teams also will have a chance to strut their stuff on the national stage. Northwestern matches up against Texas Tech, Michigan State plays Alabama, Michigan will break its bowl drought [...]

Yesterday, Ohio State had its biggest-ever comeback by a Jim Tressel-coached team. The Buckeyes overcame a 14-3 halftime deficit to crush Penn State with 35 unanswered second-half points and win, 38-14. The two halves of yesterday’s game could not have been more different. Penn State dominated the first half. The Nittany Lions’ defense came up [...]

Today Ohio State returns to action after a bye week. The Buckeyes have played nine games and won eight of them, are tied for the lead in the Big Ten, and are ranked ninth in the country. And yet, somehow, they aren’t really well defined. A lot of people are wondering: how good are these [...]

I’m sitting watching the Michigan-Illinois game at the Big House. It’s halftime — and the score is 31-31! Huh? Is this really the Big Ten? The Big Ten is very interesting this year for a lot of reasons. Four teams are tied for the lead with one loss — Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Ohio [...]

The Big Ten looks like it is in for a very interesting year. After one week of conference play, there are a few surprises. Four Big Ten teams — Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, and Ohio State — haven’t lost a game this season, and two other teams, Iowa and Wisconsin, are 4-1. It seems odd [...]
