RIP, Joe Paterno

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

I had this post ready to go when it was first announced that Joe Paterno had passed but then had read that this hadn't been confirmed by the family. Unfortunately the inevitable has come to pass, and so we join with college football fans around the country in honoring Joe Paterno.

FraudWatch Finale

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

There comes a point in every college football season when you have to sit back, take a look at all the undefeated teams and ask yourself which ones are faking it, coasting through their early season on a wave of bad opponents and lucky wins.  For me, that point comes ...

Penn Shtate Preview

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

(This was post was supposed to be posted tomorrow, but thanks to the site's EIC fat fingering, it went live early. Either way, enjoy. - ed) The season is almost over and it can't end any faster for our beloved Ohio State Buckeyes.  Off the field issues, poor performances by the ...

Failures of Courage

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

"Hey, Paterno's been fired." The salacious and horrific nature of the allegations were notable enough, but their presence in the context of the PSU program was what elevated the story to stratospheric-levels. Paterno and PSU had built a "brand" of integrity and honor unrivaled anywhere else in major college sports. To ...

Joe Pa Out At Penn State

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

As of right now. Not the end of the season, as we thought earlier today. A lot of people think it's a shame he's going out like this, and I guess it is in a way. The man's been coaching since the Spanish-American War. On the other hand, he was told ...

Week 9 Open Thread

Saturday, October 29th, 2011

We'll be in and out during the day, killing time waiting for the 8 PM kick-off of the Ohio State/Wisconsin game. That doesn't mean we still can't discuss football happening in other parts of the country. Join us during the day, chime in on whatever strikes your fancy, give us ...

Week Seven Open Thread

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

Previously, week seven would pretty much mean the season was more than half over. But, with the expansion of the BEE ONE GEE and the addition of a championship game, we can delay the half way point by just a little more. So let's get together and make fun of Michigan ...

Week Six Open Thread

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

I hate 8 o'clock kick-offs. Luckily it's a nice day outside and decent slate of games to keep us busy while we wait for our Ohio State Buckeyes to face off against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Feel free to chime in on anything that suits your fancy this fine Saturday of College ...

Poll Dancing: Week One, or Brian Kelly’s Vocabulary Corner

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

As both of my readers are probably aware, I have a few firm, unwavering beliefs.  One is that there are actually two people who regularly read this feature, and another is that college football coaches are the last people who should have any influence over who is elected to the ...

If I Was Coach Fickell [Wide Receiver Edition]

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

Continuing in our series of who we would start if we were Coach Fickell, we now take a look at the Wide Receiver corps. Where to start... Well, this probably the youngest and most inexperienced group of wide receivers that I can remember in my time watching the Buckeyes.  This doesn't mean ...

In Case You Missed It

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

Another ICYMI is back, after taking an EXTENDED vacation. And now it doesn't even know where to start. This room is spinning and I'm feeling dizzy. Let's start from the top. WE DON'T CARE 'BOUT NOTHING BUT THIS U: I'm guessing you've already read it but we'll link it anyway. It's Yahoo! ...

Saturday, August 13th, 2011

Although they have yet to put anything up on their website, ESPN has been reporting this morning that Texas A&M will announce on Monday that they are joining the SEC and Missouri, Clemson, and Florida State may be making the move with them, creating the type of Mega-Conference that the ...

Poll Dancing 2011: Pre-Season Pretenders

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

The Pre-Season Coaches' Poll was released this morning, instantly closing off the BCS Championship to around 85% of FBS teams.  This year's edition sets up Oklahoma and Alabama to face off for the title and I eagerly anticipate that matchup as I fondly look back on last year's Alabama/Ohio State ...
