The complete lack of football newsworthy items is
fantastic. That means no one is imitating Pacman Jones
nor do we have any freak accidents. Instead we have our head coach apologizing , in so many words, to the Big Ten for the national title game and eager to get going in August. And, just what about this coming year? Depending on who you talk to, expectations are all over the map but there ...
April marches on with the completion of the
jersey scrimmage and Greg Oden taking runner-up honors for
the Wooden Award, but perhaps the biggest news is Ted Ginn's scheduled appearance on Wednesday. Ginn will run for a bevy of NFL scouts months after having his ankle sprained for him in the national championship game.
On a perfect Saturday afternoon, the 2007 annual
Spring Game saw the Gray squad beat Scarlet 17-9
. I tried my best to bring you video but a morning search around the house let me know I'm apparently out of blank DVDs. A visit to Best Buy is on ...
In between your parades and backyard grilling, the
Ohio State men's baseball team was busy reviving their
season. The Buckeyes earned a trip to the NCAA's by winning by the Big Ten Tournament Championship. They did so by dispatching favorite Minnesota 4-2 behind the pitching of Cory Luebke. The victory marked Coach Bob Todd's 800th career win which is not bad for a guy who is seemingly on ...
DeShaun Thomas was locked for Ohio State for
about 8 days. Earlier today, MaxPreps.com reported that Thomas
has backed away from his commitment to the Buckeyes. Thomas, for the unfamiliar, is the 6'8" basketball wunderkind from Indiana whose style of play compares favorably with LeBron and Kevin Durant. So far, all Thomas has done is average 29 points and 13 boards...as a freshman. It should ...
Tuesday represents the deadline for loads of college
players to officially enter the NFL draft. James Laurinaitis
is one of them as he contemplates returning to Ohio State for his senior season or making the jump to the league. By many accounts, ...
I watched a grand total of 15 minutes
of the NFL Draft. There were a couple reasons
for this. I spent most of Saturday with my realtor and most of Sunday running errands. Then there's the fact I cannot stand ESPN's mind-numbing coverage. The artificial delivery wears thin and only becomes managable (sometimes) when Buckeyes are involved. This year's iteration of the draft saw eight Buckeyes ...
Today we understand why we crave the actual
events of the collegiate athletics. Because, in the offseason
we get bombarded with rule changes, reversals of previous rule changes and the parched subject matter of APR. APR stands for Academic Progress Rate and it's the brainchild of the NCAA and, well, that's all you need to know. It's not a beloved system by many as pointed out here and here ...
Fans of the annual Army High School All-American
football game will now have a choice. Starting next
year, ESPN is launching their own all-star game that will be held on the same day. It will be televised by ABC creating a competition for viewers and ...

I've found that thinking about the upcoming football
season helps get my mind off that unmentionable game
in January. Sure, the new season is still months away but there are enough questions to fill that time-gap and then some. Unlike last year, the 2007 campaign will yield a wide ranging difference of opinion amongst faithful and the so-called experts. The defense returns almost intact, ...
Imagine this scenario - You have just been
drafted by the Houston Astros in the 16th round
to play the sport that is probably your first love. The 16th round (there are 50 total rounds for perspective sake) doesn't guarantee huge money but it's early enough to listen to the offers. The problem is you have also signed a national letter of intent to play football at Ohio State. What do you ...
The month of July tends to be the
quietest month for college football coaches. They are able
to get some time off , take a vacation and basically reinvigorate themselves for the upcoming season. Players, on the other hand, continually work through ...

July represents the last empty month of the
summer. Once the calendar ticks over to August, the
amount of football news should increase substantially, what with fall practice and our first game right around the corner. Until then, we get to ...

Being that I've been away, it's probably prudent
to get up to speed with news items that
have come and gone. If I have missed something (100% chance of that) , just chime in. I did not follow my 150+ RSS Feeds on a daily basis when I was 'away'. ...

If nothing else, you have to applaud the
Big Ten Network for their savvy media blitz. They're
not only hitting the major, national outlets but also small time bloggers as well. It's smart tactic - attempt to cover all angles and connect, in some ...

The search for a Michigan football coach is
over. Rich Rodriguez has accepted the offer and will
be formally introduced tomorrow morning. He will not coach West Virginia in their bowl game. This makes the second coach Michigan has pilfered from the ...
If you've been following our recruiting coverage, you
know Ohio State's recruiting class is waiting on three
players to pledge. One of those players is defensive end Keith Wells of Gainesville, Georgia. It's been recently learned the 6'6" ultra ...
Les Miles and LSU have decided they were
too good for the rest of college football. Therefore,
they are attempting to level the playing field by dismissing their starting quarterback , Ryan Perrilloux. This will surely be billed by SEC apologists as another opportunity to showcase how much better they are than everyone else. Feel free to start the Andrew Hatch for Heisman campaign any day. ...
