And honestly, the attendance is really the only place that we'll see large numbers, of any sort, in this Friendly Confines college football game.

Braxton Miller could have Antwaan Randle El type NFL career
When Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller switched positions, many media members portrayed the decision as a selfless act by an individual placing team needs above his own. That's a half-truth. Miller has no NFL future as a QB. He does have a lot of pro potential as a wide receiver though. So the situation is actually a win-win for Braxton Miller, for both his individual, and … [Read more...] about Braxton Miller could have Antwaan Randle El type NFL career
