Nuts v. Contraceptives: #5 Ohio State-#1 USC
Actually, the Southern California Trojans have already won this game by 24 points, but the NCAA by-laws dictate they have to go ahead and play the game anyway.

The Fonz, Isiah Thomas, Ed Helms and Greg Oden are only a few of the celebrities who have been granted sideline VIP passes to Saturday's USC-Ohio State extravaganza, so get your cameras ready if you're going to attend. I happen to know that a certain A.J. Daulerio will be there as well, although not...

Terrelle Pryor Is a God Amongst Boys
Need something new, something fresh that doesn't involve Beanie Wells' foot or how many times Pete Carroll is going to look at himself on the television feed of the game? Here's a long profile piece on Terrelle Pryor — the Buckeyes' star recruit at quarterback — who many Buckeyes feel has been hidde...

8 Most Interesting College Football Games of the Weekend
Sometimes choosing which college football games to watch is tough. Particularly since, unlike the NFL, the games kick off at odd hours, on odd stations, with odd match-ups. And there are so damn many of them. As college football has become more commoditized the top 2 or 3 games soak up 99% of the a...

Beanie Wells Now Doubtful for USC Game
As the biggest game in the history of mankind inches closer still, Wells practiced for the first time since his injury against Youngstown State on Wednesday. Unfortunately that practice left him so sore he was unable to practice on Thursday morning. Just a few minutes ago, Jim Tressel pronounced hi...

LenDale White Thinks Ohio State Sucks
Fortunately for White, unlike former USC teammate Carson Palmer—who told an LA radio station he hated Ohio State and their fans and then was forced to issue an apology— he plays in Tennessee.

Elected Officials in Ohio Have Spent $400k on Buckeyes Tickets
What's more, they're allowed to buy the season tickets with campaign contributions. Wow.

The Chronicle of Higher Education has the de...

Carson Palmer Loves Ohio State Fans Now
We all know he was being honest when he said Ohio State fans sucked. You can agree or disagree with the statement but at least it was honest.

Carson Palmer Despises Ohio State, Jim Tressel, and Their Fans

OSU Lacrosse Goalie Makes Sport Watchable, If Briefly
I grew up in Maryland, where lacrosse is the official team sport (The official individual sport? Jousting. Yes, Maryland is retarded. I'm sure they'll change the team sport to Quidditch before the decade is out). There, lacrosse is all the rage with white guys and the rare black dude who listens to...

Your NIT Champion Ohio State Buckeyes
Storming The Floor looks at last night's NIT championship game. Before they do, however, we'd like to point something out: We never had any idea that teams cut down the nets after winning the NIT. We suppose it makes sense, but still. All right, to Storming The Floor now....
