Apparently Buckeye fanaticism extends to the Columbus Dispatch writers as well. Perhaps a bit over-exuberant with Buckeye joy, Rob Oller published the following in the Columbus Dispatch: Once he decided to leave Michigan last month, Boren, an offensive lineman from Pickerington North, began to weigh his options. Ohio State led the pack of possibilities, but [...]

Case in point – remember Ohio State fans’ euphoria back in May 2001 about some super quarterback that ended up doing nothing at OSU. The way they carried on, you would think the second coming of Christ had committed to OSU: Super quarterback Justin Zwick from Massillon Washington High School, 6-4, 205, who is one [...]

The Columbus Dispatch reported today that Michigan Offensive lineman (and starter last year) Justin Boren will transfer to OSU.  This is the first time that any Michigan football player has transferred to OSU.  No OSU player has ever transferred to Michigan.  Under Big Ten rules, Boren will not be eligible for a scholarship at OSU.  [...]

While having three of your games pulled from broadcast television and shown only on limited outlets might not hurt the juggernaut that is OSU football recruiting, having nearly half of your basketball games hidden from sight just might. Many of the games now on the Big Ten Network are watched by a fraction of the [...]

If you own Warner Cable, you can’t see a great many Big Ten athletic events.  If you are a fan of college basketball, or wanted to see the OSU v. YSU football game last year, or the OSU v. Akron game last year,  and if you didn’t have a friend with a cable system that carried [...]

For the past six years, the OSU Spring Game has been shown on WBNS TV here in Central Ohio.  And what, pray tell, have the money grubbing slugs at WBNS done with the profits from this broadcast?  They give it to hungry people in Central Ohio by donating profits to the mid Ohio Food Bank.  Perhaps [...]

The Big Ten Network has decreed that the OSU Spring Game will not be shown live to the fans of the OSU Buckeyes.  Rather than being shown on WBNS TV as it has for the last six years, this year it will be shown only on the Big Ten Network, with the millions of OSU Buckeye [...]

I can hear Bob Barker’s voice, though he is no longer on television.  The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that Justin Boren, formerly the Center for the Michigan Wolverine’s offensive line last year and son of ex-Wolverine linebacker Mike Boren, attended one of OSU’s spring practices yesterday.

Chris Wells ran for 560 yards in his freshman year and set a sophomore record last year with over 1600 yards rushing.  When asked today if he thought he was a candidate for the Heisman, he said that he was, and that he was looking forward to his first full year without an injury.
