I tease because I love. Congratulations, Buckeyes!

Monday Musings are late again

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

... For which it apologizes. Who says the NIT isn't exciting? I was at the Quaker Steak last night with my bro-in-law, having my way with a basket of chicken wings with the UMass/Syracuse game on in the background. The BIL commented that certainly UMass couldn't come back from 20 down, ...

Monday musings are back!

Monday, March 10th, 2008

After already failing in my attempts to blog on a regular basis, the Monday Musings are back after a one week hiatus. And just barely! The Terrell Pryor watch continues: Now he's courting offers from places like Memphis. Memphis? I actually told the Monkey last month that he may be one-and-done ...

Congrats, Seniors!

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Not even the Blizzard of 2008 was enough to cool the SMOKING red hot Buckeyes, as they absolutely torched the paint off the Schott's floor this afternoon, decimating the Spartans 63-54. This is certainly not Sparta. Don't look now, but the Buckeyes are 2-1 in March, and 2-0 against ranked ...

Desperate Times

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Call for desperate victories. I still think the Buckeyes are a long shot to make the tournament (outside winning the Big Ten tournament, natch) but this victory over the Purdue Men-in-Tights was still deeply satisfying. There's a lot to be excited about this young Buckeye basketball team, especially Evan Turner. I'm hoping ...

Monday Musings and Mutterings

Monday, February 25th, 2008

In an attempt to make a weekly brain dump, I'm going to try to do this on a regular basis. I know it's only been one game, but the new Cavs have me excited. Even though Ben Wallace is the headliner of this trade, I think the player I'm most excited ...

Ohio - Year of the #2

Monday, December 31st, 2007

2007 was the year of the "Almost!!" for teams that hail from the State of Ohio. There were eight sports teams from Ohio that either lost a championship game or had the coveted #1 ranking elude them in 2007. Never before have so many teams from a single state reached within ...

Buckeyes fill the draft

Friday, June 29th, 2007

As was expected by everyone outside of Austin, Texas, your very own Greg Oden went #1 in this years draft. Long time buddy and Buckeye Hero Mike Conley, Jr. (his dad was an olympic athlete, didntchyaknow?) followed shortly thereafter at #4. Daquan Cook, the pride of Dayton Dunbar, went #21 ...

So long, big guy (UPDATE)

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

UPDATE: Confirmed. Oden will declare tomorrow, and will hire an agent. He's gone, folks. Mike Conley and Daequan Cook will also enter the draft, but will not hire agents, preserving a way to return to OSU if their projected draft status is not favorable. They have until June 18th to make a ...

Final Four: Ohio State vs. Georgetown - Open Thread

Friday, March 30th, 2007

The Road to the Final Four has ended with Ohio State clashing with Georgetown, the team that sent the Buckeyes packing in last year's tournament. While this Georgetown team looks similar to last year's team, Ohio State definitely does not. There are many intriquing questions to be answered this Saturday ...

Pardon the Football Interruption

Friday, March 30th, 2007

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. Recently Stewart Mandel ...

Road to the Final Four: Game #4 vs. Memphis

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

Here we go, let's see how long Oden can stay on the floor. 16:30, 1st half #1 Ohio State 6 #2 Memphis 0 Good start to the game, Oden is asserting himself early on both ends. Good to see. 9:14, 1st half #1 Ohio State 17 #2 Memphis 15 After starting out hot and fast, Ohio State has ...

Road to the Final Four: Game #3 vs. Tennessee

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

The time has come. Zeke is over and we are ready for this game to get underway. 15:10, 1st half #1 Ohio State 10 #5 Tennessee 14 I think everyone was hoping OSU would come out shooting better than they did against Xavier, and they are, but so is Tennessee. Sheesh, no one can ...

Pointless ponderings

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

With so much focus on the football Buckeyes year round, it's weird to have a real contender for a basketball team as well. It makes you wonder if there's room in Columbus for two elite teams (there is). It also makes you wonder what you'd sacrifice for one program to ...

Oh yeah!
