LA Times Says Florida vs. Ohio State
The Los Angeles Times is quoting a BCS source as saying that it'll be Florida and Ohio State in the BCS Championship game. They don't offer a lot of details about either how it happened, or their source, but they seem pretty confident about it....
Greg Oden Begins To Earn His Reputation At 4 p.m.
Bad news for you, Calum MacLeod and Urule Igbavoa. Valparaiso's big men are going to have to deal with Greg Oden today, the greatest center in college basketball history that has never actually played a game. It was originally thought that Ohio State center wasn't going to be available until after...
We're Number One!
By now you've probably heard that Ohio State was ranked first in the nation in basketball by USA Today/ESPN this morning, which along with its top football ranking, gives the Buckeyes the No. 1 spot in both major sports during the same week for the first time in school history. But there's more. T...
The View From The Schembechler Cam
Here's some rather amazing timelapse video from the Ohio State-Michigan game last Saturday, via The Wizard Of Odds, that features a Web cam specifically trained on Ohio Stadium and clicking every minute. It begins the night before and runs through the night after....
"OHIO STATE!!!!!!"
This video, from a Fox News report from Columbus on the death of former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, shows the inherent danger in doing any kind of live report near Ohio Stadium, pretty much at any time. Though, to be fair, we think this lady might just yell this all the time, anywhere she is, re...
David Wright And His Headband
In the tradition of Brady Quinn, here's Mets young stars David Wright and Jose Reyes, in the new issue of GQ, playing another round of "Does This Athlete Know How Gay His Glamor Shots Are?"...
Goodnight, Sweet Knights
Before anyone becomes too caught up in the Who Will Ohio State Play In The BCS Title Game? talk, let's take a moment to lament the end of college football's best storyline, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, who laid an egg against Cincinnati, losing 30-11 and ending any (probably fanciful anyway) dream...
Hugh Johnson Update: Bonus Edition
And somewhere, Maurice Clarett asks his cellmate to get off him for a second, so he can check out the final score and smile....
Bo's Had Enough Time To Get Settled In By Now, So Let's Do This
That'll just about do it for the masturbation. It's time to get at it. Kickoff's in just a few minutes, and I honestly don't feel overwhelmed by the hype. The game is big enough that a week of ESPN-brand hype wasn't enough to kill it for me—and that doesn't happen often. Give Brent Musberger a few m...
The Dead Dead Schembechlers
It was a phenomenal little ride while it lasted, but the Dead Schembechlers are no more. The punk band announced last night that their performance at the Hate Beat Michigan rally would be their last. They also elected to give all proceeds from their final show to a charity of the Schembechler family...
Schembechler Dead at 77
Some scary news out of Detroit: Former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler is listed in critical condition after collapsing with an undisclosed ailment this morning. Radio stations in the area have reported that Schembechler had just filmed a game promo for a local ABC affiliate when he collapsed....
Just Two More Days Until Mayhem Reigns
Time to wrap up today with a little game you might have heard about. We were scooped dramatically by ESPN on the Dead Schembechlers, but we will still try to keep up....
Man, If These Guys Can't Get Tickets, No One Can
More Ohio State-Michigan fun: How big is the game this Saturday? Jeez, not even Nickelback can get tickets....
Today In The Upcoming Bloodbath
Well, if it's Tuesday, it must be time for an update on The Game To End All Games, the No. 1 vs. No. 2 Ohio State-Michigan sluggaroo this Saturday. We remain incredibly fond of this matchup and aren't particularly worried about it being "overhyped," as they say, because anyone in danger of fatigue c...
The Joy Of The 2006 Skins
This video, captured yesterday, pretty sums up everything you need to know about the Washington Redskins' season so far. Careful, kids; you might need those brains someday. Though probably not....
Devotion To The Buckeye Lego Cause
In case you weren't thrilled enough about this Saturday's Ohio State-Michigan, No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup, we present you with an Ohio State fan who has expressed his devotion to the cause in the best way possible: Through Legos....
Football Game Delays Vote Counting; You'll Never Guess Where
No more than 3,500 votes separate U.S. Rep Deborah Pryce and her democratic challenger, Mary Jo Killroy in the Ohio congressional race. There are still 18,000 absentee and provisional ballots to be counted. You'd think they might want to count those as soon as possible ... but they're not....
Drew Tate Does The Ocho
In the spirit of the Big Ten football theme we've got going this afternoon, we proudly present you with Drew Tate, quarterback for the consistently disappointing Iowa Hawkeyes, rocking out the Halloween party circuit with some pals as, apparently, the bad guys from "Dodgeball." Frankly, this is the ...
Bo Schembechler Gets Meta On Us
We've told you repeatedly about the Dead Schembechlers, the Ohio State fan punk band that features thrash ditties like "Bomb Ann Arbor Now" and "Chad Henne is A Motherfucking Joke." (Their official site is right here, though someone should probably mention that no one does splash pages anymore.)...
