Wadcutter may be more right than he knows. Heard on the radio today that this whole thing did not make sense. Look at the time line. 1) Gee makes these comments in December. 2) OSU Board first talks to Gee about his comments in January and then again in March. 3) An audio tape is...

If Ohio State was smart. After this all gets settled, they should review the Athletic Department from top to bottom. If they were even smarter, they should bring in the NCAA or some other organization recommended by the NCAA as they are doing this review to look for ways to tighten down any...

"On Woody giving money to players in the 1950's." I remember reading this one blog (wish I could find it) by an English Professor who had taught at Ohio State in the late 50's - early 60's. He asked Woody about it at the Faculty Club. Woody admitted to it and said he would do it again. The...

I will stand with Jim Tressel. I can recall another great coach who had been disgraced and had disgraced Ohio State before a national audience. In one instant he had destroyed all the good things that he had accomplished over a life time. All those good deeds, all those good works, all those...

Usually Ohio State is spot on when it comes to punishment with the NCAA. Fact that they report as soon as they knew. The fact that they worked hand in hand with the NCAA. And the fact that Ohio State is considered a model institution on reporting every incident, tells me that Ohio State will...

Smith will have his number retired at the appropriate time decided by Coach Tressel. I believe no one will wear the number until then. I remember after Archie won his heismann, it was several years before anyone wore the number again. Personally, I know we have Buckeye Grove for all the...

3Yards - you are correct about the University of Chicago. They are still connected to the Big Ten via the CIC (academic side of the Big Ten). I don't see Penn State dropping out of the Big Ten and I hope they don't. They have been a great addition to the Big Ten since joining. Once Joe Pa...

My dumbest moment goes back to the 1985 Iowa game. Had two tickets to the Iowa game when Iowa was number 1. Wife was 8+ months pregnant. Weather was nasty (rain all day), had seats up in the higher portions of A deck (exposed to elements) and the wife wanted to go bad to the game. I told...

I just don't want an ND grad in charge of athletics at The Ohio State University. He may have Ohio ties (being from here) but that is it. He left for ND and we should not welcome him here period. I want someone who understands what it means to be a Buckeye. Just look at that sorry excuse for...

This just confirms the Ohio State version of scUM's fight song.

A poster over on the ozone posted that Tressel said at the Marion Rotary today that the Texas game was going to be a night game. A second poster confirmed it saying they were there too.

Saw31 you are correct. AG made the comment that it was a problem for alums outside of central ohio to attend. A few years ago when they played Wyoming at night, my brother could not attend because of the ending time and commute back to the Cincinnati area. Would have been close to 1:00 (game...

This kid sounds like a model Tressell kid. Great in the class room, great in the community and great on the field. He sounds level headed with a real view of what is important and lasting.

LJB - very good analysis. To the staff and contributors of Buckeye Planet - a very good job by one and all. For a bunch of armatures, you are more professional than the so called experts and I appreciate all that you do. I have enjoyed the posts and information. Again, thank you and a job...

Ted Ginn Sr was on WBNS and said that 30 minutes ago that Coach Tressel offered Rob Rose and Brandon Smalls for next year. He was on talking about Lennix and O'Neal.

I respect Chow as an offensive coach and what he has done with various qb's. Now comes the BUT. 1986 Citrus Bowl Ohio State - 10 BYU - 7 I remember the announcers during the game (late part) state that it was unheard of holding BYU to single digits. I forget the number of games that it...

With the new NCAA guidelines coming out, Ohio State (Tressel) will have to be more picky on who they recruit. Long & Conley may be missing this important fact. As many has stated, Conley made a living off questionable recruits who could not make it in the university let alone in the class...

Going back to the original point about winning the big games and losing others. Woody made the comment how hard it was to get the kids up for every game. Woody would point to three key games each year and try to keep the kids level headed for the rest. Now like then, so many teams get up to...

To me this one comment says it all: "All of the guys on the practice field were coming up to our players saying, 'Man, it must be something to go to Ohio State. The fans even come to a practice.' Just a reminder of how special Ohio State is.

I remember reading last year that Ohio State generated around 450 million in grant money. It may have been for a few years prior but the idea that you are generating that kind of money per year from grants for research puts in perspective research dollars vs athletic dollars. I can not tell...
