We all have those markers. Those of a certain age know where they were when JFK was shot. Those who witnessed it know who they were sitting with watching man first walk on the moon. We share the emotion and the sadness of the moment when we lost the Challenger. We spent days hurt and angry...

How the time flies by! It’s just a few months short of 4 years since I took my only child to OSU for student orientation. It's also just a few days until he becomes a fellow alumnus. His experience was, in so many ways, not like mine. Time and change indeed. As a student he never experienced...

Any of you that have bounced around the OSU boards for awhile and recognize my handle likely know I am an OZoner, but also love this board and several other OSU sites. I have spent some time thinking about a recent family event and decided it was time to write about it. I sat down earlier today...

Advertisements By HINYG8 on 10:28:49 11/21/17 Some days roll or grind by in anticipation of a different day. It's funny how life does that....the days leading up to Christmas, a vacation, or a celebration just crawl by like the good stuff will never arrive. Days spent agonizing over a tough day...

I wasn't sure if I was going to share this, but I thought maybe I should as others might relate to it. It happened late Saturday night, long after we had vanquished that team up north. MSU had steamrolled PSU, thereby sealing our conference title fate. However, Stanford had hit that FG against...

Carmen Ohio often brings a tear to my eye and I'm never ashamed of that. Seeing images of the campus and all the wonderful things the students, representatives, and fellow alums do to better the world brings me great pride. It is truly core to me, it'a tribal to a degree -a fraternity - and...

Where do you even start with last night's game or this entire season? The coach that sparked the SEC brush fire just extinguished it. OSU just went on a two game bender that left us 79.5 points better than the Vegas spread. That is......absurd. And then you have to remind yourself that it was...

We've seen it over and over again the last decade or so...we line up as the favorite..only to see the dawg have the game of their season. This year alone..TSUN had their longest drive of their season (by far) and Funchess remembered what his hands are for. Va Tech..good lord..that kid played...

Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach. Because we couldn't go for three. Without winners, there wouldn't even be civilization. The height of human desire is what wins, whether it's...

That said, I hope we steam roll MSU on Saturday and will admit part of the fuel is to spite ESPN. They have worked ever so hard to water down Ohio State for years..and I would love to see us light it up like 190 proof moonshine in East Lansing. I know that is just falling prey to their...

This is the first time in years that we have been a bit under the radar heading into camp. I have to say: I like it. It reminds me of 2002 when no one saw us coming. Gone are the constant questions...the 24 hour hype cycle...the endless challenges from outsiders and the F-5 media shitstorm. We...

Woody did this to us...he made us this way. He was an amazing man..but perhaps his greatest skill is the one I've never heard him lauded for. He was a master at marketing. I mean an all time great. From tearing hats to smashing blackboards and ripping officials (and their yard markers) into...

Forget Christmas eve and wish lists to Santa..in my household...THIS is the day..and we send our wish list up to Woody. I've been good all year, made my list, and instead of leaving out cookies and milk I will soon hoist the Block O up the flagpole in front of the house. Gotta make sure Woody...

It was a strange off season, even for Buckeye fans who have grown accustomed to being in the media hot seat. If Urban Meyer's shoe came untied and the press saw it..they ran a story claiming Urban can't tie his shoes so he hates America. Hyde punched a girl into unconsciousness because she...

Time and change have been the hallmarks of Ohio State for over a century. But I have to stop and give special pause this week to the power and appropriateness of the phrase as it relates to The Ohio State University. We are knee deep in the excitement of a new era and are more than ready for...

...and change is in the wind. The media campaign and the NCAA carousel have packed up and headed for warmer spots...but we are left to continue churning in the tide of their wake. Will Braxton become the face of the program? Can Luke do enough to keep the job he cherishes? If Urban is truly...

We are many...and we are just waiting for something to rally around. Give us a BIG TIME press conference introducing Luke. It is over due and Luke deserves better from the administration and from us. We have seen what just a few comments from Pryor's attorney and a parent or two can do and...

Words are funny. Taken by itself the word 'university' has no real zip and elicits no emotional response from me. However, when coupled with 'The Ohio State' the word university takes on an emotional weight that is basically religious in magnitude. I didn't get to experience OSU football...

I don't post often..but over the years some of you may have noticed my tendency to put together some sort of soap box/half time/we ARE OSU type of rant just before each BIG game. These efforts are always genuine..and have even garnered some greenies for my effort. I talk about how OSU is...

No one else really gets it..no one else really *knows* what this week is like. Outsiders think they do....but..... You have no idea unless your heart is firmly in the hands of either OSU or UM. This is the standard. This is Ohio State Michigan. No need for the ?versus? or the ?and? in...
