Ohio State plays the Eastern Michigan University Eagles today. The Eagles play in the MAC, and they aren’t very good. In fact, they’ve lost 15 games in a row. As a result, Ohio State is a prohibitive favorite to prevail in the match-up. Today’s contest will be one of those games where Ohio State really [...]

Stalking Brutus

Here’s a weird codicil to the story about the Ohio University mascot who tried to tackle Brutus Buckeye at the start of the OSU-OU game: it turns out that the OU mascot always planned to do just that, and indeed tried out for the job of OU mascot last year with the ultimate goal of [...]

I went to the Ohio State game today and, as expected, saw an easy 43-7 win over the Ohio University Bobcats. The Buckeyes controlled the game from the start, scored 34 points in the first half, and put the game away early — which is what you want to do if you are the number [...]
The Buckeyes March On

Ohio State won a big game yesterday, and did so in pretty convincing fashion. The Buckeyes topped Miami, 36-24, and the game ended with the Buckeyes taking a knee deep in Miami territory. It was an exciting game throughout, with two long returns for touchdowns by Miami, a blocked field goal by Ohio State, and [...]
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 [...]
The Innate Studliness Of Eyeglasses

Every once in a while a news story announces the results of a study and the results are so outlandish, and so contrary to normal human experience, that you wonder whether there was some problem with how the study was designed or conducted. So it is with a new study, funded by the vision care [...]
Football In The Air

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 [...]
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, [...]
Robin Hood Cream Ale And Other Cheap Beers Of the ’70s

My post on summer cider, and particularly the picture of Errol Flynn in iconic Robin Hood garb, inevitably reminded me of Robin Hood Cream Ale. The corner grocery store about a block and a half from my college apartment at 101 West 8th Avenue in Columbus specialized in cheap beer. How surprising in a campus [...]
The Clock Is Ticking

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 [...]
Should Brutus Buckeye Be Updated?
Posted in Columbus, Ohio, sports, tagged Brutus Buckeye, Buckeye football, Columbus, Ohio, Ohio State, sports, Sports Mascots, The Ohio State University on June 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
Another Fine Season For Coach Thad Matta

Without much fanfare outside of Columbus, Ohio and Ohio State fans, Thad Matta has coached the Ohio State men’s basketball team to another excellent season. The Buckeyes are 24-7 overall, 14-4 in the Big Ten, and have won the Big Ten title for the third time in Coach Matta’s six years at the University. They [...]
Season’s End, And Off-Season’s Beginning

With the playing of the BCS National Championship game last night — and congratulations to the Alabama Crimson Tide on their win, by the way — the college football season has come to an end, four-and-a-half months after it began. If you are a college football fan, it is a wistful time. This past season [...]
