With 18 starters returning from last season including both kickers, there are plenty of familiar names on the two-deep chart, including fourth-year starting fullback … [Read more...] about 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes football: first two deep roster
Penn State is “Radioactive” to Bowl Selection Committees; Big 10 Bowl Projections
"They're radioactive," a bowl official told Herb Gould of the Chicago Sun-Times yesterday. "[Bowls] wanted Joe Paterno 's last game, not a nightmare." The Nittany Lions finish the season at Ohio State and Wisconsin. The OSU game looks like a toss-up, and the Badgers will likely destroy them. That season ending tilt is looking like it'll be the Leaders division championship … [Read more...] about Penn State is “Radioactive” to Bowl Selection Committees; Big 10 Bowl Projections
Big 10 Bowl Projections; Much Hinges on Wisconsin Badgers
When looking at the Big Ten conference standings, and trying to figure out the hierarchy for the college football bowl system, I can't help but think of one of my favorite lines from the '80s movie "Fletch." "I'd say we're in a gray area." "How gray?" "Charcoal." We do know this however- the Big Ten bellcow is still Wisconsin (get it bellcow, dairy state?). The … [Read more...] about Big 10 Bowl Projections; Much Hinges on Wisconsin Badgers
Ohio State Running Back Charged with Assault, Brags About It
Ohio State tailback Jaamal Berry has now been charged with misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct, for punching a man in the face and then bragging about it; according to a police report. Well, at least he didn't brag about it. Berry has been suspended from the Buckeyes football team for "violation of the university's student-athlete code of conduct." An Ohio St. … [Read more...] about Ohio State Running Back Charged with Assault, Brags About It
Big 10 Football Power Rankings: Mediocrity, Parity, Blah Edition
There are only two times when doing a power rankings can be fun- way early in the season/preseason, or when everything is jumbled, disorganized chaos and blah. Doing a power rankings when the hierarchy is clear cut is a practice strictly for centrist, vanilla losers. In the current Big Ten football world, mediocrity, blahness, national irrelevance, and parity reign. And … [Read more...] about Big 10 Football Power Rankings: Mediocrity, Parity, Blah Edition

Wolverines, Illini Enter Top 25; Buckeyes, Spartans Drop Out
The Big Ten saw two teams drop out of the national polls this week; only to be replaced by two different teams. The Michigan Wolverines, who were on the cusp of the rankings last week, entered for the first time this college football season at #22. Fresh off their 31-3 pasting of their little sister Eastern Michigan from slightly down the road, the Wolverines will take on … [Read more...] about Wolverines, Illini Enter Top 25; Buckeyes, Spartans Drop Out
Ohio State Buckeyes New 1961 Title Team Retro Uniforms

Coincidentally, 2011 marks the 50th anniversary of THE Ohio State University’s undefeated 1961 championship season. The 2011 Nike Pro Combat system of dress design for the Buckeyes harkens back to that team, whose offensive power lived … [Read more...] about Ohio State Buckeyes New 1961 Title Team Retro Uniforms
Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Preconference Edition
One of the main storylines in the Big Ten entering this college football season was all the dual threat quarterbacks. Well so far, I'd say it's really only Wisconsin's Russell Wilson and Nathan Scheelhaase who fit that bill. Michigan's Denard Robinson did throw for over 330 yards and 4 TDs, but he is an average thrower at best. He made some really poor throws in that Notre … [Read more...] about Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Preconference Edition
