Thursday, March 15th, 2007

We'll be doing a semi-live blog of OSU's games in the NCAA Tournament, starting with today's game against Central Connecticut. I'm already worried this could get ugly. 15:15, 1st half #1 OSU: 14 #16 CConn: 3 Whoa, Buckeyes start out fast. Lewis and Butler hitting threes and Oden having his way on the boards. ...

Monday, February 26th, 2007

The Buckeyes are a unanimous #1 (almost) in both polls, marking the first time since 1946 1962 that OSU is ranked #1 in the AP Poll. I'm a little nervous of the winning streak we currently have. If we run the tables in the Big Ten tournament, we'll be going into ...

Let’s Make Some Noise

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

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.
