I never understood the real utility of DVR until I actually got one.  Now, I have two.  I figured that VCRs do the same thing.  In a way, it’s true, they do much the same thing.  But DVR is about a thousand times more convenient than a VCR, especially when it come to watching college football. First, [...]

Last week, Big Ten Network President Mark Silverman and Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany visited Ann Arbor to respond to the questions in the community about the launch of the Big Ten Network. The Big Ten Network, which will launch August 30th, is a first-of-its-kind partnership between the eleven Big Ten universities and a major [...]

ESPN has conducted a very interesting study on which teams in the last 10 years have been overrated and which teams have been underrated. The scoring system is simple, and seems fair.

Those in the know are picking OSU to finish third in the Big Ten this [...]

OSU has two kickers that could start for any team in college football right now in Aaron Pettrey and Ryan Pretorius.  Pettrey has had the nod over the past year or so in that he has been more consistent, but Tressel has shown no hesitancy to throw Pretorius into a situation wherein the outcome of [...]

Jim Tressel has said it before, and he will say it again.  The most important position on any football team is the punter.  If you have a good consistent punter, then you can control what is happening in the game.  If you don’t, you have only the illusion of control (like we had under John [...]

It is interesting to track Jim Tressel’s evolution as a football coach, and for this year, it may even be informative. In Tressel’s first year as the coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes, he was naturally saddled with all of John Cooper’s players.  His choice for starting QB in his first season was Steve Bellisari.  [...]
