Here’s something else that makes me proud of my alma mater — researchers at The Ohio State University have studied how often male and female college students think about sex. Thank God that our scarce scientific resources have finally been directed at that crucial, too-often-ignored topic! In any case, the study debunks the canard that [...]

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 [...]

Many people may be surprised to learn that the most legendary athlete to compete at The Ohio State University was not a football player — instead, it was track-and-field star Jesse Owens. On Thursday, on one of the few sunny days we’ve had recently, the University unveiled a new statue of Jesse Owens at the [...]

Last night the NCAA denied the appeals of the five Ohio State players who violated NCAA rules by selling memorabilia and accepting discounts on tattoos. Those players — Mike Adams, Daniel (Boom) Herron, DeVier Posey, Terrelle Pryor, and Solomon Thomas — therefore will serve their full five-game suspension at the start of the 2011 season. [...]

Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel has no bigger fan than Bebe Webner — aka “Buckeye Bebe.” She writes him regularly, is on his Christmas card list, and even suggested a play that Ohio State used to beat Michigan. With everyone in Ohio talking about Coach Tressel’s NCAA violation, it was not surprising that [...]

Tonight’s disclosure about Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel is disappointing news, indeed, for Ohio State fans. Tressel failed to promptly report information about potential NCAA violations to institutional officials. As a result, Ohio State has self-reported an NCAA violation, has suspended Coach Tressel for two games, has fined him $250,000, and will issue a [...]

It was a lucky day for central Ohio when Leslie Wexner was born. Wexner graduated from The Ohio State University, started The Limited Stores in central Ohio and saw them grow into a huge retail conglomerate, and has never forgotten his central Ohio roots.

I’ve posted before on the five Ohio State football players who violated NCAA rules by selling things they had received from the University and getting discounts on tattoos. Before the Sugar Bowl Coach Tressel told the media that the five players were allowed to make the trip for the bowl game only because they had [...]

Finally! Finally! Finally! Ohio State has beaten an SEC team in a bowl game. The Buckeyes held on to beat Arkansas, 31-26, in a wild game at the 2011 Sugar Bowl. At times it seemed like this game would not end and the fates had decreed that Ohio State was destined to lose. There was [...]

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 [...]
