Buckeyes Looking at Nick Montana

So we’ve obviously beaten the joke into the ground about Ohio State and their tendency to go after caucasians to fill out their otherwise talented football team, but we’re cool with Nick Montana.  He’s already been offered by LSU, South Carolina, Stanford and Arizona, and not suprisingly, the Big Ten is slow to the party. Is [...]

Survive and Advance Part Two

SAN ANTONIO, TX – Wow. Down 36-16 with 9:33 left to go in the first half, the Buckeyes’ two best players were out with foul trouble and most OSU fans we’re reminded of a certain national championship debacle that had transpired just three months prior. Next thing you know the Buckeyes slash the Volunteer lead [...]

Diebler Advances to State Final

COLUMBUS, OH – Technically you could say it was an off-game for future Buckeye Jon Diebler, who scored only 24 points tonight in the state semifinal against Poland Seminary. But then again, how many times has a near-quadruple double at the state semifinals been considered an “off-game?” Ohio’s all-time leading points scorer had 9 assists, [...]

Road to the Final Four

So let me get this straight: The Buckeyes win their conference outright in the regular season, they win the conference tournament, they are No. 1 in both polls, No. 1 in the sacred RPI rankings, they’re the 3rd hottest team in the nation with 17 wins in a row, undefeated at home (with arguably the [...]

Seven Week Layoffs, We Hardly Knew You

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany thinks you can do a lot with 50 days. It could be enough time to form a blue-ribbon task force to discuss the addition of another team. It might be enough time to try and convince the tournament selection committee that the league deserves more than four teams in March. [...]

The Most Dominating Player To Dominate Nothing

I sat alone in my apartment this evening watching the No. 1-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes take on their hated rivals, the Michgan Wolverines. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University, so it is in my interest to catch as many games as possible as the Buckeyes make their run to the tournament of [...]

Poll Vault

COLUMBUS, OH – After losses to North Carolina, Florida and Wisconsin, you would have been hard-pressed to find anyone who would consider the Buckeyes the best team in the country. However, recent losses by UNC, Florida and UCLA have propelled the Buckeyes to a No. 1 ranking in the ESPN poll and the No. 2 [...]

Jon Diebler Has a Highlight Video, He Must Be Good

The 6’7 Buckeye bound sharpshooter is 42 points away from capturing the all-time Ohio high school scoring crown. More Diebler:Burson rooting for Diebler Scoring MachineNo Longer a Tall Tale

An Online Petition Not Involving Ron Zook

CLEVELAND – Known for their considerable rate of success, online petitions have become almost as commonplace on the world wide web as sports blogs dwelling on the misfortune of Cleveland sports teams (examples 1, 2, 3). It seems that some Browns fans have created DraftTroy.com, with one unequivocal goal in mind – but you’ll have [...]

Signing Day Woes

COLUMBUS, OH – I’m sure most of you figured a perfect 12-0 regular season and a stranglehold on the #1 ranking for nearly five months would pay some hefty recruiting dividends. Well at least we beat out Illinois – oh wait, Scouts.Ink says the Zookster nabbed a top-10 Class, nine spots ahead of the Buckeyes. [...]
