is there a way to watch the spring game if you don't have bigten network? I live in Georgia and don't get the btn.

Pick a restaurant/bar you like, call them to see if they have DirecTv (or if their cable provider carries the BTN), ask them if they could put the game on one of the TVs.

I felt the same way JT did. We got hammered in the press for another BCS loss, but that game against Texas was a masterful showing against a team that had every right to be in the NC game.

I felt that way too...

...and I hate being that guy, but not only was it a masterful showing...we were ONE play away from winning that game.

Action-packed practice

Hot and sunny, with the team in full pads today. And they really went at it, no doubt. Almost the entire final 30 minutes of a the 2-hour and 15-minute practice was spent running "team" drills, or 11 on 11, although not with full tackling.

I'm sure the idea is to gear up for the Saturday jersey scrimmage, and they'll probably go in shells on Friday.

First, the injury/MIA report:

Action-packed practice (Blogging the Buckeyes)

Spring Practice Insider: Tackles Struggle
By Brandon Castel

COLUMBUS — They say left tackle is one of the toughest positions to play in all of sports, and it certainly has been at Ohio State, at least during practice.

Whoever drew that responsibility a year ago—and there were a number of them—frequently found himself matched against All-Big Ten defensive end Thad Gibson. Although he was in attendance, Gibson was only a spectator Thursday as the Buckeyes hit the field for practice No. 9 of 15 this spring.

While Gibson wasn’t allowed to punish the offensive tackles in his Marlins hat, there was certainly no rule barring Cam Heyward from having his way with them. Whether he was up against Mike Adams—who worked with the first team today—or Andrew Miller, Heyward looked about as unblockable as he did in Happy Valley last fall.

Spring Camp: Midterm Report
By Brandon Castel

COLUMBUS? It?s hard to believe spring practice is already at the halfway point at Ohio State. It seems like just yesterday Terrelle Pryor and his teammates were rolling in from off-season 6 a.m. workouts, and yet Tuesday?s practice was No. 8 of 15 for the Buckeyes this spring.

There are only two days until the jersey scrimmage, nine until the annual Scarlet and Gray Spring Game at the Horseshoe on April 24, an event which officially brings the spring football season to a close in Columbus. There is still plenty to be learned over the next week and a half, but let?s take a look at some things we?ve come to learn already at the midway point.

From the above article:



Sounds like the Buckeyes don't need no stinking BARWIS!!11!!!. :biggrin:

Actually you're wrong. :shake:

Barwis is responsible. His mere presence in Ann Arbor has had a ripple effect felt all the way to Columbus. In fact, I woke up this morning with 6-pack abs and chain-smokin' grandma voice. :paranoid:

Ohio State knows next step is national title
April, 16, 2010

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Jim Tressel has a belief about this place that his Ohio State Buckeyes players are starting to echo.

"Tressel has always thought that if you don't go undefeated," Buckeyes defensive lineman Cameron Heyward said, "the town's against you."

Such is life at Ohio State, a program that has achieved so much in the last nine years but is always expected to do more. Since Tressel took control before the 2001 season, the Buckeyes own a 94-21 record, a 59-13 mark in Big Ten play, seven seasons of 10 wins or more, seven BCS bowl appearances, four BCS bowl wins, the program's first Rose Bowl championship since 1997, five consecutive Big Ten championships (six overall) and six consecutive victories against archrival Michigan (eight overall).

And only one undefeated season, in 2002.

So are the townsfolk gathering outside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, with burning torches in hand? Not exactly.

Buckeyes fans are in relatively good spirits this spring, still glowing from Ohio State's win against Oregon in the Rose Bowl. It certainly beats the feeling of the previous three seasons, when the team fell short in bowl games and returned to a cold Columbus.

But whether the post-bowl reception is bubbly or bleak, it never lasts long.

"Every year, we go through the spring, and when you're in Columbus, Ohio, everybody's expecting you to win a championship," wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher said. "It comes with the territory, and it's something we expect. Win or lose in the bowl game, you're always going to come back and hear, 'OK, this is our year.'"
