No sooner do we get a thread going on a freshman, and the hype train begins. Wow. Not too many HS careers begin like this. Playing on a loaded team with multiple DI players, a freshman pours in 50 points to win a close battle between Cleveland powerhouses. Gaffney scores 11, but the...

The thing about DE needs is that you don't have to recruit a bona-fide DE, as Sam Hubbard has proven. Back in the day, Darrion Scott was a HS linebacker who turned into one of our Buckeye greats. Probably half of the better DE's in college are guys who played HS ball in the 210-220 weight...

It was either "Bigger, Strong, Faster" or "Prescription Thugs" (I forget which) where one of the doctors involved in testing athletes for America candidly discusses how Carl Lewis was ineligible for the 1984 or 1988 Olympics, but that politics kept shuffling things around and confusing the issue...

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-bowl-odds-2017-confidence-football-pool-picks-from-proven-computer-model/ Interesting article about some computer that simulated our matchup 10,000 times and that it has an over 70% confidence in a Buckeye win. Average score ended up...

Well, the main thing is that this team keeps improving. I've loved what I've seen from Tate the last few games, and KBD has been the steady hand all season. They look, at times, like a solid Buckeye team that will represent themselves well in the tourney. Potter was really coming along this...

Gaffney and Johnson were recruited hard by Louisville, but you've got to like how things are shaking out for us at this point. I don't know who is on Garfield Heights' schedule this year, but we are probably looking at a big show-down at the end of the year between them and Moeller (Jaxson...

The game is played in Jerry World on a Friday night at 8:30 with no other football competition on TV. It's not New Year's, but in some ways, it's better. I just like primetime games, myself.

Bo Nickal is a great wrestler, but we've seen so much success from Martin against him, I'm hoping for a Buckeye trifecta in the upper weights! It looks quite possible this year. Martin, from the clips I've seen, looks so much better at this weight than last year (during the transition). He's...

There you go Nike. Good looking home jerseys and your logo prominently displayed. Can we shelve the PK80 outfits for good? This is a good looking Buckeye uniform.

Well, I know everyone raves about Haskins, and Mike Weber called Burrow "the next Tom Brady", so I wouldn't be so quick to say that the whole team worships at the altar of JT. That being said, when JT is healthy, he is one of the best QB's in college football and an obvious Ohio State legend...

I'm picking Oklahoma because they can score on anyone, but I wouldn't mind seeing Georgia. I'm against the SEC in general, but I don't mind new blood getting some love. The other three? Been there, bought the T-shirt, etc... Ohio State B1G and Cotton Bowl champs over SC. It turned into a...

Yeah, this more than makes up for the Butler debacle. Down by 20, the Bucks ended the first on a 7-0 run. Then that second half...

The playoffs are about insuring that the most deserving teams get a shot at a national championship, not ensuring that you have four true national championship candidates in there. In a year where you only have two or three deserving teams, you are going to have to round out the playoffs with...

I will say this about the game...whatever you think of JT playing, running, and throwing (poorly at times), we actually had a better chance at making the playoffs without him. It would have been the 2014 scenario all over again, winning the B1G with a back-up in a big game would have been the...

On the surface, it sounds like Saban has a point, but believe me, if Alabama had lost to anyone in the SEC by 30 points, but then came back to win the conference, the only debate would be whether they were still qualified to be the number one seed, or if they would have to be a two.

Dakich isn't in the same ball-park as Young. Young has the potential to be a do-it-all type of player. Get tough rebounds, score inside and out, make plays and pass to open guys, etc...Dakich is a borderline Division One basketball player who we can only hope will spell CJ Jackson for a few...

Losing a game when you are up by 15 with 5 minutes left? I don't care what your expectations are for the season, that is a gut-punch. Then, in the post-game interview, he's just kind of shrugging his shoulders and going through the motions. Now, do I think a one-point loss to Butler is a...

I never liked him in the first place, so there's that.

Yeah, they are dismantling a good Tarheel team, but really, what difference does it make? I'm so dejected after that stupid Butler ending, I am really not holding out much hope for the Holtmann era anymore. He's just a blah coach with a blah personality...he'll grab a couple of good players...

But, in his defense, I've always had a fine experience at the Flying J up near Ashtabula.
