Umm did I mention that he is a Freshman... in HIGH SCHOOL. Ok, so maybe he will be a sophomore in about a month but still he is a Freshman.
Coach Thad Matta made an offer this week to 6'7" Marc Loving out of Toledo St. Johns High School. The ...

Whoa, I just realized I hadn't posted one of these in a while. Just a few odds and ends that caught our eyes in the past week (or so).
Football Outsiders and their Fremeau Efficiency Ratings like the Buckeyes this year, preseason ranking them at #3, behind Florida and Alabama. FWIW.
Oh ...

Our best wishes go out to Evan Turner as he prepares to make the jump to the next level of basketball competition, declaring himself eligible for the Association.
Turner's development has been interesting to watch over the years. Coming in as a highly rated recruit, he reportedly butted heads with teammates ...

Tonight, Evan Turner was crowned King of the World. He announced that he will be back for his senior season. He was also awarded the 2010 Naismith Award after already receiving every other significant Player of the Year Award.
(One of those things is true.)

The loss to Tennessee was quite the gut punch and I really didn't feel like posting anything after it. For whatever reason, even though I love football more than basketball, I always feel more emotion during a basketball game. Maybe it's the ebb and flow of the game is so ...

Going in to today's game, I was nervous about Georgia Tech's size. I love Dallas Lauderdale like everyone else (what a monster he was against UCSB, no?) but he isn't what you might call a pure player. Kyle Madsen isn't pushing anyone around either, bless his little Dublin heart, so ...

Who knew?
Elbows on knees, a scowling Iman Shumpert bent forward in his chair. Someone asked if Ohio State was better than Georgia Tech. “Not at all,” Shumpert said.
So: Was Tech better than Ohio State? Said Shumpert, almost spitting the words: “A lot better.”
Man, these sour grapes are SOUR!

You'd think we were in the middle of the season with all the Buckeye football news going on. With the busy schedule, there isn't time to comment on everything, but here are a few links worth checking out.
First off is news that Coach Tressel's contract has been extended through 2014. ...

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 ...

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 ...

... 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
