The Violent Side Of Greg Oden
While Tennessee and Virginia look to be going down to the wire, I thought we'd take a second and look back at yesterday's man-sized non-flagrant foul by Greg Oden. He always looks like a man amongst boys out there, but yesterday, with Ohio State needing to take a quick foul, he looked like Godzilla ...
Open Thread: Xavier vs. Ohio State
I don't know why the NCAA always does this, but every year on the third day of the tournament, they have one game on by its lonesome in the 1:00 p.m. slot... and then they triple us up at around 5:45....

Ohio State Buckeyes (29-3) vs. Central Connecticut State (22-11) When: Thursday, 7:10 p.m. Where: Lexington...
Ohio State Buckeyes
1. Jerky The Cornjerker. Every one knows that Thad Matta went to high school in the appropriately named Hoopeston, Ill. (OK, maybe just I knew that? But did you know that the Hoopeston mascot was Jerky the Cornjerker? He looks like this. I wonder what their version of The Tomahawk Chop looks like?...
Don't Expect Your Rec League To Adopt These
These, friends, are the future of college basketball uniforms, and that future is: SPANDEX! OK, not quite Spandex, but there's certainly a skin-tight vibe going on for the four teams who will supposedly try out the new duds during their conference championships this week: Ohio State, Syracuse, Flori...
Ohio State Helps Billy Packer Celebrate His Birthday
The Buckeyes just downed the Badgers 49-48 after Ron Lewis rejected a last second 12-foot attempt by Wisconsin. This was immediately followed by the fans of the #1 team in the country rushing the court....
We're So Sorry, Uncle Albert
Look, we're still a little unclear on why the University of Florida's mascot statue, Albert the Alligator, was placed on the Ohio State campus recently (some kind of a Nike promotion or something). All we know is that it took more than five hours for students there to destroy it, which is simply una...
College Hoops Compendium: UCLA Is Kinda Good
• (2) UCLA 73, (12) Arizona 69. UCLA's now lost three straight Pac-10 games for the first time since Lute Olson's hair was... actually, I think that guy was born with a full head of shiny silver hair. It may actually just be a chrome plate at this point. UCLA didn't even have Luc Richard Mbah a Mout...
Buckeyes Fans Sneak Into Game That's Probably Not Worth Sneaking Into
Our firm, Midwestern ethics have, to this point, disallowed us of the grand American tradition of sneaking into sporting events. The trick, we've heard, is to find a smoking section, and then slip in when the security guard isn't looking....
Life's Pretty Tough For Buckeyes Fans
Our friends at NBX Sports Blog have put together this compilation video of distressed Ohio State fans showing during the FOX broadcast of the Buckeyes' destruction at the hands of the Florida Gators on Monday. We've always wanted someone to make a fan montage like this; just a bunch of people puttin...
Let's Go To The Studio, Where It's Jimmy With Keggy And The Gang
Considering that FOX has barely showed any college football this year and therefore has no established halftime "in the studio" team, we were curious how they would handle last night, which after all was the supposed biggest game of the year. We admire their conclusion: They just picked two retired ...

It's The Mythical Sort Of Kinda A Little Bit Of A National Title Game
Well, jeez, it's finally time: The endless math problem that is the college football season at last ends tonight, in the Tostitos BCS Championship Game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Florida Gators. This one doesn't quite have the gravitas or star power of last year's title game, and if Ohi...
Dead Schembechlers: Classy or Pussies?
From their website: The Dead Schembechlers will now be know as...The Bastard Sons of Woody!!! The name change comes on the heels of the death of original band namesake Bo Schembechler and to acknowledge the fact that the group members are direct genetic descendents of Woody Hayes himself. "We were a...
The Greg Oden World Domination Tour Rolls On
I won't be here to share it with you, I'm afraid, but there are a couple of pretty noteworthy games on the college basketball schedule this afternoon. Greg Oden and Joakim Noah get it on as #3 Ohio State visits #4 Florida at 4:00 on CBS, and then at 4:30 on ESPN2, Bob Knight has a chance to become t...
Florida Brings Back An Old Friend To Beat Buckeyes
So here's something that couldn't possibly go wrong. As Florida prepares for its BCS "Championship" Game against Ohio State, they are calling in the cavalry to help them get the win. They're so desperate for any advantage that they've even called in an old friend....

BCS Mess Claims More Victims: Everyone
Who's unpopular in the Michigan area right now? Former Washington State coach Jim Walden, the one member of the Harris BCS poll who voted Florida No. 1 in the country and one of the reasons the Gators are playing Ohio State in the BCS "title" game rather than Michigan. Walden is hardly alone in his ...
