We have months (and perhaps years) to analyze Luke Fickell. And we shall.
But first, let's let former head coach John Cooper properly introduce the man:
That man is now your head coach.
That man, who played through torn biceps to lead his team to a Rose Bowl victory and secure a school-record ...

If you haven't heard, Ohio Governor John Kasich issued a resolution on Monday that honors the NBA-champion Dallas Mavericks as "Honorary Ohioans."
In particular, he recognized MVP Dirk Nowitzki, who "chose to keep his talents in Dallas by renewing his contract with the Mavericks in 2010 and foregoing free agency."
Oof.
In response, ...

The recent allegations against Terrelle Pryor are more interesting when viewed in the context of another, apparently forgotten story from last year.
On the day before the Iowa game, university administrators announced that someone stole several pairs of shoes from the OSU football team's locker room.
From the 10tv news report on ...

In a world where helping your father try to extort $180,000 gets you a Heisman and a NC shot, it seems disingenuous to suspend a player for selling his school ring just so that he could have enough money to buy gas and take a girl to the movies.
So spare ...

CRAP CRAP CRAP.

OSU and Terrelle Pryor continue to claim that his early-October thigh injury was only minor. Yet, those of us who have been studying the quarterback for three years have noticed a significant dropoff in on-field performance during the last month, particularly in his rushing and scrambling ability.
Numerous times over the ...

So it stinks craptastic donkey farts that OSU lost.
But answer honestly... is it really that big of a deal? Let's step away from the ledge for a moment and remember how rare it is that ANY team from a competitive conference goes undefeated.
Alabama lost last week, to a team that ...

Look, it's easy.
At this point, five games into the season, OSU is 14th in the country in rushing offense, averaging 235 yards per game. The fact that the load is being shared by at least three players is irrelevant.
As a way of explaining my point, consider this: OSU is leading ...

FINAL: 43-7
Three Ws for 2010, all convincing offensive and defensive masterpieces, and all against teams that went to bowl games last year.
Thankfully, today's matchup didn't resemble 2008, when an anemic Buckeye offense stumbled to a lackluster victory against the Bobcats. Today's offense was anything but lackluster, including Pryor's record setting ...
