In case you missed it is Men of the Scarlet and Gray’s semi-weekly look at items that would interest the casual and hard-core Ohio State fan, be they news items, interesting blog posts or funny memes you probably saw on Reddit last week. It’s all here and it’s all for you. Have a tip that should be included in the next ICYMI? Send it our way!
WE STILL LOVE YOU TED GINN: Ted Ginn’s punt return in the third quarter of the Super Bowl almost went the distance but still factored hugely into San Francisco’s furious come back Sunday night against the hated, detested, deplorable Ravens. Teddy Ballgame rewarded all the loyal Buckeye fans after his run by throwing up the big O for all to see (via sportsMonkey’s Twitter feed):
YOU CAN’T PLEASE EVERYONE ALL THE TIME: But this time, it sure seems like Ohio State didn’t please anybody with the latest update of their logos. The Ohio State seal received a minor face lift, opting for a block O in the middle of the seal instead of the legacy circles, but you would have thought the new “Athletic Logo” had set people’s houses on fire, the way people were talking about it on Twitter. I’m personally not a fan, but I guess I’m in the “I only hate it a little” minority.
SHUT YOUR EYES, MARION!: For whatever reason, Michigan will be unleashing these nightmares on the viewing public tomorrow night. EGADS.
JORDAN HALL, NEW MAN:

IF PHIL SAYS IT, IT’S TRUE: This is an ESPN Insider link ($), so I won’t quote all the good bits, but I’ll just add this to the pile of preseason love that the Buckeyes are going to be getting. This time it’s Phil Steele, ranking them an early #2 for 2013.
ETC: For some reason, I think these deer antler spray stories are going to be coming out more and more…
Ted Ginn Jr will always have a special place in my Buckeye Heart after all he is my Xbox gamer tag name lol….
As for the new logo it is exactly the same as the last one just filled in the Ohio State a little more than before. Seems like a silly small change to cause such an uproar but thats twitter in a nutshell.
