Relive the greatest stories from Ohio State football history in Season 2 of Land-Grant Holy Land’s exclusive podcast series.

Ohio State football has an unrivaled tradition and history. Now, it’s time to relive those epic moments once more. Each Monday over the coming weeks, you can listen to a new episode from Season 2 of I Want to Go Back — Land-Grant Holy Land’s exclusive podcast series that brings to life the greatest lost stories from Ohio State football history. This season, we’ll go back to OSU’s rise to power in the early days of the Big Ten Conference.

On this week’s episode — a legend arrives on campus...


The Ohio State football program was taking on water leading into the 1913 season. The program was about to take a major step up in conference play — moving from playing the powers of Ohio in the Ohio Athletic Conference to the powers of the Midwest in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, OSU had become a revolving door for head coaches — three consecutive coaches left after a single season. The biggest blow of all happened after the 1912 season.

Ohio State put its faith in head coach Big John Richards to lead the team as it prepared to join the Western Conference. The West was the forerunner to the Big Ten and the Buckeyes were set to start conference play during the 1913 season. Coach Richards played and coached at Wisconsin and knew what he was doing from the sidelines. Ohio State finished as conference champs in 1912 in their final season as members of the Ohio Athletic Conference. But Richards, the coaching magician, saved his greatest trick for the offseason: he decided to disappear. Big John quit to pursue a business opportunity in Chicago.

Now the Buckeyes were again on the hunt for a new head coach. A coach who could bring stability to the program. A coach who could recruit top talent. A coach that could help the program take the next step against the ferocious step-up in competition in the Western Conference. OSU didn’t have a lot of time to find the right fit. The moves Ohio State made next built the program we know today.

It's a little sad that Big Pete only has a three page thread. An all-time great for sure.

"I will choose free will"? That's brilliant (assuming they developed a Pythonesque sense of humor at some point in their career. Haven't really listened to them since the 70s.)

Committed to the Dawgs this morning

Name to file away but not forget,,,Cody Welliver, a 6'5 incoming freshman QB with an absolute gun from Gee Scott's stomping grounds of Sammamish, Wash. and Ford Sports Performance. He'll be at Kennedy Catholic H.S. this fall.

330 yard par 4 and Mickelson hits his tee shot to the back fringe. Brady actually made the putt and they finally win a hole (11th).

The football team's score of 985 is down two points from last year's multi-year average, but is actually just three points shy of the program's highest-ever mark of 988 in the 2010-11 academic term. The score puts Ohio State behind just Northwestern's multi-year score of 995 and Wisconsin's score of 986.

It was the right call, no one was robbed except MAYBE Ohio State when a clearly blown call (really two blown calls) missed a textbook defensive holding AND called a completed pass incomplete which would have allowed Ohio State to runout the clock in regulation.

There's no "maybe" about it. If the right call is made (either one of them), Dan Fouts wouldn't have gotten his chance to bitch about the overtime call. I might have no opinion of him, rather than a negative opinion of him.
Or.. how about in the second overtime. There was a pass interference where the call was made against Chris Gamble (as a defensive player) that put the ball on the 2. Probably not as big of a thing, since previously it was first and goal at the 6. Go to about 2:13:35 for the replay. He has him hooked around the waist with his arm, but still seems like less contact than the "infamous" play was.

Here is the torrent for Ohio state vs Indiana 3-5-2013. This is from the 2012-2013 season. I found this game on Lime torrents. I did add some new trackers to it to help it run better and hope to find more seeders for it.

I found a torrent of Ohio State basketball vs Wisconsin on 3-6-2011 on a torrent website. It was a great find for any Buckeye fan to find. GO BUCKS!!

Why do grown trees need sitters? And will they "sit" if told to stay in place?

Buffalo cheeseburgers.....



Last week when I went to Kroger they had a bunch of these in the mark down section for $2.99. OK, for that price I'll try it. Hey, (with pickle, barbecue sauce, jerk seasoning, and steak seasoning) they were pretty good; I wonder if they have any more left.
