Who's down here from BP? It'd be great to pre-game tomorrow with some of you. we're also going to need to be loud - seeing Clemson fans everywhere in Ft. Lauderdale.

Great interview on CBS Sports' website: http://eye-on-football.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22475988/33374433 He's 88 years old, and sounds like he has as sharp an understanding of the game as he did when he was coaching. I can't believe no one put him in a booth to do color for...

Would it make sense to separate out the vBet threads in the college football forum into their own subforum, either for vBets or game threads, kind of like how the season capsule forum is done? It might make that forum a little tidier for the general discussion threads, which all get lost briefly...

Osama Bin Laden press conference as conducted by Jim Tressel: Tressel: Good evening, everyone. It's good to have you all back here at the White House and I see former President Bush is here and it's always great to see him and have a former President in the building and he's always running...

I didn't want to derail Jamaal Berry's thread with thoughts and opinions about the battle for carries in 2010, and figured it was time for a thread on this since spring practice isn't that far away. ;) This season, when fully healthy, we only saw Herron and Saine. Fans were impressed with...

I've been doing some Wiki reading on the history of Ohio State football coaches and thought that it would be interesting to have threads for some of them. There are some interesting stories and men who have coached and helped build the Buckeye legacy. Ryder was Ohio State's first paid head...

Given the quality of the Big Ten this year, it seems like this is the best chance the conference has had yet to win this thing. Here's the full list of matchups: #2 (for now) Michigan State at #12 UNC - MSU wins this one if it's in East Lansing, though they still have a good shot at it in...

In the aftermath of the USC loss, the strange way in which the pollsters punished a 38-0 win, and the reality that the Big Ten has no more remaining big OOC games in which to prove...well, something, I've decided that I'd rather focus my fandom on something Ohio State can control -- going to...

Like a lot of people on here, I watched all four of the Elite Eight games this weekend, and was taking mental notes on where those teams are versus Ohio State. We'd all like to see the Buckeyes get back to that level or above, and most realistic fans knew that ceiling was too high this year...

I've been sorting through the updated and byzantine new rules for BCS eligibility, specifically with regards to automatic bids. For the sake of argument, I'll use the current leaders in each conference. We have 5 games, including the NC, thus ten invites. First, the automatics: - Each...

Over the years of watching BP grow, and remembering the not-so-long-ago days when one could log in here and see maybe one new thread a week, I love seeing where this site is now. Moderation on here is as proactive as any that you'll see on any web forum, sports-related or not, and this site...

This season, we have seen how a team, our team, can be affected by conference perception. Part of that perception is formed when teams from the conference lose OOC, or have poor performances OOC. Another part of that perception is formed when fanbases within the conference don't step up to...

Okay, we're pretty much done with the non-conference games. Reflecting on what we've learned, what have we learned? First, these young Bucks will dominate any team that doesn't show up with equivalent talent. Clearly, on talent alone, this is one of the best teams in the country. Second...

The talk about the Browns in the Adrian Petersen had me looking for the 2007 draft thread, and finding none, figured that it was a pretty good time to kick one off. Really, it's always a good time for a Browns draft thread. Maybe we should get the 2008 and 2009 ones up and going also. :smash...

They had a free preview showing of "Glory Road" at the Marcus Theaters at Crosswoods tonight, so I went to go see it. The storyline is kind of "Hoosiers" meets "Remember the Titans", so some of it will seem familiar. Of course, those are two very good movies to be compared to. It's based on...

"If I never hear Hail to the Victors again, it’ll be too soon." -Pete Fiutak The Buckeye Nation is with you, my man. :bow:

As usual, Sag is the first one out. Sagarin BCS rankings: 1. Florida State 2. Usc 3. Va Tech 4. Texas 18. Ohio State ---------------------- Note: The "real" Sagarin has OSU at #10. Sagarin has OSU's schedue at #20. Edit: Ohio State was #26 last week. A win at Penn State is...

The first one out today is Sagarin. Sagarin ELO-CHESS (BCS): 1. Florida State 2. LSU 3. USC 4. Miami 5. Texas 6. Michigan State 7. Virginia Tech 8. Florida 9. Georgia 10. Wisconsin 11. Minnesota 12. Boston College 13. Georgia Tech 14. West Virginia 15. Arizona State 16...

I've got a suggestion for a new kind of poll we could run at BP -- ranking the best performances by teams on a given week. Obviously, this is highly subjective, and depends on a lot of factors: dominance on both sides of the ball, final score, relative strength of each team, "beauty points"...

It's 7-7 in the second quarter...Army is looking pretty good in just about every phase of the game. Wow. It's worth checking out.
