You are likely reading that title and scratching your head.  But here is what I mean.  ESPN Radio host Colin Cowherd made a good point regarding recruiting.  He said that in his social life, George Clooney can ask a girl to go out with him, and she will.  But Colin Cowherd can’t ask.  Cowherd must convince [...]

I DVRed the OSU v. USC game and watched the first half again, this time watching most plays in slow motion, paying particular attention to the play of OSU’s offensive line.  My first take on the game before doing so was that USC simply had better athletes and that the OSU players’ talk about being [...]

Now for some real analysis of the game out in L.A. I recall watching an NFL highlights film of the very first Superbowl, I think that it was Green Bay v. Kansas City and that guy with the great voice was giving out the high points of the game.  I will paraphrase:  Kansas City had [...]

Much depended upon whether Chris Wells woke up sore this morning.  Unfortunately for college football fans, Wells’ foot was sore, worse than the OSU coaching staff would have hoped.  Coach Tressel has accordingly listed him as doubtful. 

This one is too hard to predict.  There are too many variables.  First, we don’t know just yet if USC is for real.  They beat what is likely to turn out to be a very bad Virginia team very badly.  But that doesn’t mean that they are a bad team.  In watching the first half [...]

Jim Tressel, who is right 99 percent of the time once said that a team makes its most dramatic improvement between its first and second games.  Oh my goodness.  Folks, this may not be the season. Let’s tell it like it is.  Forget Beanie Wells and his injury.  The offensive line simply stunk up the [...]

It was no surprise to anyone that Todd Boeckman is still the starting QB at OSU this year.  What was a surprise was that Terrelle Pryor got playing time during the first half of the game against YSU, together with the fact that he came in with the entire second team.  All of the much [...]

For those of you OSU haters who promptly put up information about OSU DT Doug Worthington getting stopped for speeding and DUI, here it is right back at you:  Sports illustrated is reporting that Kevin Grady was stopped on July 2, 2008 and tested at 0.281 which at nearly three times the legal limit, is impressive.  [...]

When you watch football, you see a lot of plays that don’t go anywhere.  They look like a big muddle and it seems a bit boring when time after time plays are gaining only a yard or two.  If this is the case, start watching the Defensive Linemen. Blitzes are exciting to watch.  Rushing a [...]

The biggest loss to the OSU Buckeyes this year came on the Defensive Line when, to the relief of so many, that freakish monster of so may QB’s nightmares, Vernon Gholston, left early for the pro ranks.  We lost a great one there, but he was not supposed to be the best Defensive Lineman last [...]
