We interrupt the regularly scheduled football season to inform you … The pre-season #5 Buckeye Hoops team opens their season tonight at Value City Arena. I realize for most fans, the college hoops season really begins in Jan/Feb, but the non-conference season for this year’s team is important as the team is full of new faces.
According to a dispatch article today, the first two football games of the season will be televised on the new Big Ten Network.
September 1 – Youngstown State
September 8 – Akron
The BTN has not yet reached agreements with the local cable providers.
As we wait for the Final Four to begin tomorrow, here are a few Buckeye football tidbits. Spring Practice began yesterday. Here is the spring two deep. Here is some initial analysis from a couple of our fellow Buckeye bloggers: Seth at ATO and Pfef.
As the Buckeyes gear up for a deep postseason run, they will be sporting new uniforms for the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments. The new uniforms, developed by Nike, will have the LeBronJames23 logo instead of the famous Nike Swoosh. As is the trend in a lot of sports these days, the uniforms will be made of lighter, more form fitting fabric.
The atmosphere for Sunday’s match-up between the Buckeyes and Badgers should be reminiscent of the ’05 game when unbeaten Illinois visited the Schott. Illinois left Columbus that day stunned when Matt Sylvester’s 3-pointer at the buzzer sent shockwaves around Columbus. I am endlessly baffled why it takes an undefeated opponent or a 1 vs.

The buckeye basketball season is entering the fourth quarter, while the Big Ten season is at the midway point. March Madness is only a month away. I know it is too late for true mid-season grades, but here is a brief player by player analysis of the basketball season to date.
Will Greg Oden be a Buckeye for more than one season? That debate, to most, is a forgone conclusion. Answer: it will be one and done for the big man. In a recent interview captured by the Ozone Oden casts some light on the debate.
The college football regular season is ending this Saturday and we will soon find out the opponent for the Buckeyes in the National Championship Game. Also, we are more than a week removed from the Michigan game and Buckeye fans are coming down from the high, as Kaiser said.
Well Buckeye fans, unless you have ESPNU you will not be able to watch the Indiana game on October 21st. Click here for details.
Update: According to SYR, ESPNU is not available via Time Warner. Looks like those with out a dish are out of luck.
Autograph Session
An estimated 28,000 showed up for the autograph session and practice at Ohio Stadium Monday night. I was one of those crazy people that ventured to the shoe to watch the practice, yes practice! I did not really have high expectations (which ended up being a good thing as the practice itself was mostly uneventful), but my curiosity got the best of me and I had to watch.
I realize it is football season and not many people, especially in Columbus, care about basketball right now. I promise this is the one and only time I will mention the upcoming basketball season (until football is over). I just had to give some credit to Thad Matta and Gene Smith for trying to make basketball matter in Columbus.
The first installment of the USA Today Coaches Poll has been released and the Buckeyes find themselves at #1. The national media articles I have read today all begin with a similar sentence: Despite having lost 9 starters on defense, the Buckeyes are #1 in the coaches poll.
Our defensive preview continues with a look at the defensive backs. OSU’s secondary will be replacing all four starters from a year ago. The new players, for the most part, are unproven and untested in game situations. Second year coaches Tim Beckman (cornerbacks) and Paul Haynes (safties), do not have much time to make these players a cohesive unit.
