In all walks of life, I try to
be as realistic as possible at all times. This
is no different when I'm blogging. Although I have a professed obsession with all things Buckeye, I try not to let it take me to a case of pure see-no-wrong, ...

My house was robbed Thursday night. They made
off with a variety of electronics my roommates and
I had in our living room (and a bottle of Jack Daniels), but what hurts the most is the loss of my Xbox 360 and NCAA Football 2008. A great game, hours ...

The basketball season is over, we've all had
a week to reflect on it, and it's time
to hand out some grades. But first, a note: considering that this team got to the national championship game, everyone on the team probably deserves A's and high B's. But that's no fun, and it's tough to explain why the best player on the team is an A+ and the worst player is a B+.

Yesterday, I took a look at the offense,
considered as a whole to be a point of
at least mild concern going into the season. The defense, meanwhile, is considered by many to be the strong point of this team. This side of the ball has a lot of talent, and they return a lot of last year's defense. That defense, however, didn't look so hot in at the end of the season, which makes this season's ...

If you've been paying attention, you're likely aware
that the BCS commissioners overwhelmingly voted against a playoff
system in college football. The question of why has already been addressed in a lot of places, and boils down to two answers: ...

The football team kicks off spring practice Thursday.
There are always a lot of questions going into
spring practice, and in my experience the spring doesn't provide a lot of answers. There are always guys that seem to break out in spring, only to ...

The football team held a scrimmage back on
Saturday. The defense won, 50-44. The score, of course,
means very little, because the rules are unusual to start with, and they're subject to change at the whim of Jim Tressel (as all rules and laws should be, I think). Evaluations of performance are more useful, and those are all over the web ( the Dispatch and the Ozone's Tony Gerdeman both did an ...

Game. The draft was held Wednesday, and the article

Okay, I'm back, with some almost-excessively delayed spring
game thoughts. I'll give 'em anyway, though, if for
no other reason than to give you all an opportunity to give your thoughts on the game. I know what I think, but I'm just one guy that watched from roughly a mile away from the sun in C-deck, slowly roasting while cheering on the Scarlet. Your opinions may vary from mine, especially ...

Now that the draft is over, the real
rookie feeding frenzy begins as teams start signing the
undrafted rookies. Several Buckeyes have been signed. It's kind of tough to find information about these guys, but here's what I've been able to pick up: T.J. Downing - Arizona Cardinals Brandon Mitchell - Houston Texans David Patterson - Atlanta Falcons Antonio Smith - Indianapolis Colts(!) Justin ...

So, that OSU softball team that I've been
ignoring, because I find baseball (and softball) so boring?
Turns out they're pretty awesome . They won the Big Ten tournament with a 2-1 victory over Northwestern. In their three games in the tournament, they outscored their opponents 32-4; in softball circles that is considered "pretty impressive," or so I've heard. OSU senior Jamee Juarez picked up

There are several things I could blog about
today, but unfortunately, I'm headed out shortly to watch
fireworks. So instead of something new, you get a post from my old site, the 614 . I came up with the idea during a discussion on the Fourth of July ...

As you may be aware, many of us
Big Ten bloggers have formed a group called, for
some strange reason, the Big Ten Bloggers. We'll be having weekly roundtables to discuss important issues like Jim Tressel's awesomeness, Illinois linebacker J Lehman's ...

This Saturday, The Buckeyes very well may get
their toughest test of the season when they make
a visit to West Lafayette to take on the high flying Boilermakers of Purdue University. Right now, the Buckeyes have perhaps the country's second best ...

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of taking part
in an interview with NBC Sports (along with new
friend Rohan at And The Valley Shook ) in a debate of sorts for the BCS Championship game. You can check the video out here . The interview ...

I made a post earlier calling out Les
Miles and LSU for acting classless during the game.
Looking back, those comments were uncalled for and irresponsible on my part, and I apologize for that. As a result, I have deleted that post. ...

On Saturday at 4:40, Ohio State will try
to advance to the Final Four for the first
time in the history of the 64- (or 65-) team NCAA tournament (I thought I remembered a Final Four trip some years back, but I must be mistaken ). To do so, they'll ...

There's was some kinda-sorta-almost news about Greg Oden,
Mike Conley, and Daequan Cook turning pro over the
weekend. Greg Oden Sr. told the Indianapolis Star that Oden was going pro, and that Conley and Cook were probably going to do likewise. But then Sunday, Mike Conley Sr. said that nothing had been decided yet. All three players are going to meet with Thad Matta today, and a decision is ...

The draft is over, and the Buckeyes did
pretty well, all in all. Eight Buckeyes were drafted,
good for second-most in the draft behind - you guessed it - Florida. A couple Buckeyes went earlier than expected, a couple went later than expected, and a ...
