This is one of the great high school stadiums anywhere. Tanks Memorial Stadium, Ironton, Ohio 45638

It's too bad that we need hells bells to get people excited at a Buckeyes game. We Americans are truly becoming pitiful creatures. Maybe in a few more years people won't get jacked up unless they see a beheading before the game.

From Ironton (area)... Jerry Fields, LB, Coal Grove. Drafted by the New York Titans of the AFL in 1961. Kenny Fritz, OL, Ironton. First team All American, 1979. Drafted by the Steelers. Walt Delong, OL, Ironton. Highly touted. Left Ohio State after about one quarter. Jermon Jackson...

I believe that the APR will have the effect of causing high school athletes to actually put forth an effort in high school. Higher standards are not about excluding students of lower academic ability, they are about prodding young people to live up to their potential. And, most successful...

Well, southern institutions like the State of Florida and Florida State University don't hold themselves out as honorable and law abiding, so people just shrug and move on when they cheat. It's not surprising.

Well, that oughta convince some of you that there is more to Tressel than he sometimes lets on.

No one's ever asked me to sit down, either. And I prefer to stand. I stand as much as the circumstances will allow me. In big games, like Michigan, I stand most of the game. When the rows in front of me start to stand up, so do I. And then the people behind me have to stand up. It's part...

Yeah, since '67.

That style of uniform wouldn't have to look very different than the current uniforms, IF they would just leave out the constrasting piping on the jerseys and the space age stripes on the pants. Ohio State's current uniforms are a far cry from those of the past, as far as materials. The...

Perfect, Artillary. That's a great way to explain it. Misanthrope, I also share your opinions. I usually leave Buckeye games hoarse and exhausted. I cheer as hard as I can. I stand up, I yell, I do it all. But I'm also aware of the people around me. If the people in front of me...

Right. That's what I'm talking about. People not being so self-absorbed that they totally ignore hundreds of other people. When one person stands up, that causes the person behind him to stand up, and so forth, all the way to the top of the section. Many games, I find myself sitting...

Milli, It's probably been a while since you've been to the horseshoe, living in Hawai'i and all. But, they have a little talked-about, quaint custom at Ohio State games, called "courtesy". It basically means that you can enjoy yourself and cheer your butt off, but you also have to consider...

Where will people stay overnight? I would love to come if I knew I wouldn't have to drive. :cheers:

That's probably as close to an apology that Ohio State fans will ever get. And it proves that ESPN considers themselves journalists and not just entertaineers. So that excuse is gone.

I agree with you 100% Oiler, but not many more will. Seems that the blind hatred of most Ohio State people toward Michigan started when they were 9 and never matured beyond that. Ohio State and Michigan football are yin and yang. One does not exist without the other. They are two sides of a...

I wonder if anyone else got busted out of this operation. I find it hard to believe that two undercover cops could live in the dorm for the whole year and just get one guy if there was another guy in the dorm with larger quantities.

Couple of things... 1. If they had a warrant for his arrest, they probably didn't catch him in the act and arrest him on the spot. They wouldn't need a warrant for that. It might be the result of an undercover police operation in which he (allegedly) sold marijuana to an informant or a...

I think we'll get there in time to avoid penalties, mostly because I believe Tressel and OSU are taking the right approach to academics. You don't lead the Big 10 in academic all Big 10 unless you are doing the right things. Once they figure out how to avoid penalties for players leaving...

My guess is that since you will be viewing the field from the end, chances are much less that there will be a column in your way.

Yes, that was an ass-whoopin. Seeing BG dominate like that gave me strong vibes about the '05 Buckeyes.
