Shades of Robert Reynolds and the Jim Sorgi choking incident, Kurt Coleman with the late head shot Well after watching the video replay of Coleman’s late hit, I’m trying to figure out what kind of bullshit Tressel was trying to float when he said, “We do not agree that it was ‘premeditated’ or that he [...]

“These past four weeks, we kind of had an edge over other teams,” Homan said. “We were pretty much football players from 8 in the morning until 8 at night. So you could study football, football, football and not have to worry about schoolwork and homework…” And I thought Tressel had locked them out of [...]

Co-captain and Ohio State safety Kurt Coleman has been suspended for one game by the Big Ten Conference for a flagrant personal foul against Illinois’ Eddie McGee which occurred during the closing moments of the Ohio State – Illinois game. Coleman will not play vs. Indiana this weekend. Apparently, Jim Tressel did not agree with [...]

Here’s Carlos Brown’s second touchdown vs. Indiana. How’s this for blocking? Brown is lined up to the right of Forcier here. Here’s the handoff to Brown.

After reading it, I also realized how poor the local Buckeye analysis is from the likes of 97.1 The Fan and 610-WTVN. Mike Ricordati, Scott Torgerson, Bruce Hooley, and Chris Spielman just [...]

Michigan v. Eastern Michigan Football Highlights Carlos Brown ran for 187 yards against Eastern Michigan yesterday proving that Michigan is loaded at running back. Also impressive were Michael Shaw and Michael Cox. Cox and Shaw were running like men possessed during their limited playing time. Cox was visibly disappointed when Rodriguez elected to let time [...]

I rarely visit CollegeFootballNews.com anymore. I’ve determined that the writers are huge Buckeye fans and their reporting is skewed towards the Buckeyes. Here are the latest examples: 1 – Pete Fiutak complains about Ohio State dropping to 11th in the polls after losing a close game to #3 USC. Fiutak argues that Ohio State should [...]
