I Think I Touched A Nerve
Buckeye Commentary — I posted an Ohio State preview on Deadspin today and, judging from the comments, it looks like I made the natives restless. I will not pontificate to the hilt but I do find it interesting that there are so many more SEC fans than five years ago. Those 60 comments serve as a constant of how important this season is for the Buckeyes and the Big Ten.

Ohio State couldn't care less what you say about it. Also: they'll show you who's overrated!
Dr. Saturday — ... Poll voter Kenny Roda of WKNR AM/850 and noted publisher/pod person Phil Steele may be unbiased, but they've talked to people around the country, and boy, do those morons hate Ohio State. Does Ohio State care what Abstract America thinks? Other than the rhetorically apologetic Jenkins, no, no it does not: "We can go play 20 times in a row and it wouldn't bother me," OSU quarterback Todd Boeckman said. "It doesn't bother us at all." So suck on that, Deadspin commenters. You're not going to ruin this season before it even has a chance to ruin ...

Chris "Beanie" Wells Injured During Ohio State's 43-0 Win Over Youngstown StateFanIQ Blog
As I'm sure you well know, one of the biggest college football games of the year happens next week when USC and Ohio State meet up in LA. Whoever wins that game looks like they'll have a clear path to the BCS National Championship. For reasons I can't understand, Ohio State is favored to win the match-up. Or maybe I should say was favored to win it. That's because today against ...

Ohio State Heisman hopeful Chris “Beanie” Wells was carted off the field with a foot injury during the third quarter of the Buckeyes’ 43-0 win in their season opening game today with Youngstown State.

DUI Doesn’t Keep OSU’s Worthington Off the FieldSPORTSbyBROOKS
When the #2 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes took the field to open up their season this afternoon with Youngstown State, their redshirt junior defensive tackle Doug Worthington was there with them.

I think everyone would go watch Jessica play football. Day 5. I think I am starting to get the hang of what I have to do. Most NCAA teams start their games tomorrow. I will be watching it, you will be watching it, end of story.

If you are looking for a great preview, the Dispatch has really stepped up the internet coverage. It is well worth the look.

Suggested Team Slogan If At Second You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again What we learned in 2007 Not bad for a down year.

Partly because the Big Ten was down, and largely because other teams blew their ...

by GMoney , The Money Shot If you haven't been able to tell from my weekly posts, I hate the Ohio State University. Well, not so much the school, it's just that their fans are ungodly annoying. If you are ever feeling a little too full of yourself or looking to take on a group of ten frat boys by yourself, show up on campus before a home game wearing the colors of the day's opponents.

One Loss And We're Not OutZombie Nation - Penn State football blog
I came across this picture today, showing Penn State's offense lined up against a Dan Marino-led Pittsburgh team in 1982, and it made me think. Everyone's so worried about losing to Ohio State--nothing suggests we will win--in Columbus, which would effectively end our National Championship hopes. Wrong. During the '82 regular season, Penn State was clobbered by Alabama 42-21 in Tuscaloosa. A ...
The Ohio State University: Too Legit to QuitCollege Football by the Numbers
Three minutes into the first half, Matt Flynn fell on his own fumble at the LSU 6 yard line. Twelve minutes later, LSU’s Harry Coleman fell on a fumbled punt at the LSU 16. In a game in which LSU was outgained, 2 turnovers were the deciding factors, but Ohio State lost the ball to LSU, not LSU to Ohio State. If those fumbled balls had proven too slippery for Coleman and Flynn, we would have a ...
