Behold: The Power of Threes

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Michigan needed them to get back into the game and Evan Turner turned around and used one to stab them straight through their under .500 hearts. Sorry guys, it was just meant to be. This was only a second round Big Ten tournament game. I know this. That being said, this ...

Twittering Buckeyes

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Are we college football fans creepy or what? We fawn over the whims of 17 year-old boys as they decide which institution of higher learning they will commit to (hoping it's ours!), watch their every move for three to four years (or, in the case of Todd Boeckman, seven or ...

Not a good week to be a Buckeye

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

... if you play basketball, that is. Evan Turner went down in Ohio State's spanking of Eastern Michigan. Turner will miss eight weeks after fracturing his second and third lumbar vertebrae. That sounds a lot worse than just a two month injury. That sounds career-threatening. Here's to hoping Evan has a ...

The Next “Thad Five (plus one)”

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Thad reloads again: Thad Matta, Ohio State head coach, announced the addition of six student-athletes to the Buckeye men's basketball program Wednesday. The class of six high school seniors is rated by many analysts as the No. 1 class in the nation and will be eligible to play for the Buckeyes ...

Buckeye Hoops in the Real World

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Taking a break from the football season for a minute, let's talk a little baloncesto. (That's basketball if you didn't already know). The NBA season is just around the corner. While I'm wondering how the Cavs are going to do this season, I've also been wondering what's going on with ...

Spring is in the air

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

As often happens around these parts around the end of the NCAA tournament, things have slowed to a crawl in terms of posting frequency and snarkacy. We don't officially go into hibernation mode, but past performance has pointed to a reduced number of posts. This year may change that, however, as ...

Weekend Madness Open Thread

Friday, March 20th, 2009

We missed yesterday's (okay, and most of today's) action, but our Buckeye's weren't playing, so WHO CARES? We've got a reason to watch and cheer this evening. It's all been leading up to this moment. Buckeyes tip off at 9:40. A couple links for your enjoyment and perusal. First, we recently received ...

Big Tournament Championship Open Thread (and NCAA updates)

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

I just realized I didn't start an open thread for the biggest game of the season thus far. Unlike football, I don't plan my schedule around basketball games, so while I have been watching the game, posting an open thread slipped my mind. So far, Buckeyes are doing what they did ...

Ohio State vs. Michigan State (Big Ten Tourney) Open Thread

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Time to get your Open Thread on. I'll be chiming in as we go along. Check out 11W for preview. This is going to be a tough match-up, but if shots fall and the Extra Terrestrial can get some assistance, the Buckeyes can pull it off. OSU: 82 MSU: 70 (Final) All ...

Quick Hits

Friday, March 13th, 2009

Ohio State beats Wisconsin 61-57 in the Big Ten tournament. I didn't get a chance to catch the game on TV (due to a nasty habit of working from nine to five) but thanks to 97.1's streaming of their broadcast, I was able to listen in on Paul Keels calling ...

Block O Table, Shooty Hoops Edition

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

We've been invited to sit with the adults at the Block O Table. Finally, we don't have to eat turkey with the five year olds. This week we're looking at OSU hoopage. Questions come from Vico over at Our Honor Defend. 01. Evan Turner was not named the Big Ten Player ...

In Case You Missed It

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Here are some of the stories and what-not we wanted to talk about in the past week or so but never got around to it. Hope you enjoy. [Football] - College Football News looked at the top 50 non-conference games coming up in 2009. Ohio State makes two appearances: USC's ...

Ohio State vs. Iowa Open Thread

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

Because I'll be suffering through Biggest Loser with the missus (just kidding, sweetie, I love it!) so I won't catch up to the game until half-time, but here's an open thread for the game. I won't be checking comments until I've got up live. For previews, you can check 11 Warriors ...

Ohio State vs. Purdue (part 2) Open Thread

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

WOOOO. Ohio State 30 Purdue 37 Not related to the game, but the just announced Mike Vrabel was traded to Kansas City. Bummer for him. Back to the game. How does Ed Hightower continue to be employed? The Buckeyes started the second half nice and quick but they've shot themselves in the foot a ...

In case you missed it

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Because blogging slows down around these parts around this time, it's time for a new post. First, there's this: (h/t to friend of MotSaG Kade. [Sorry for the terrible soundtrack]) Some thoughts on the past week in Buckeyeland: We didn't need anyone to tell us this, but Andy Staples lists Ohio State among four ...
