I’ve been reading headlines and stories on Ohio State’s decision to vacate its 2010 season. Of course, all Buckeye fans feel that this should satisfy the NCAA and the punishment should end there. It’s amazing what little grasp of reality fans, players, coaches and administrators have. To wit: “The Buckeyes already have received their Big [...]

You got to love the blind faith idiots out there. I saw this and had to post it so I can keep it on my radar throughout the season: Stephen Lee · Los Angeles, California Call me an optimist but I see us winning every single game on this schedule. The period at the end [...]

Despite claims from various Buckeye football sites that Ohio State will not experience any recruiting fallout in the aftermath of the Tressel/Pryor fiasco, I decided to start keeping a list of Buckeye football recruit casualties. Let the games begin: 7/10/11 – Former Ohio State commitment commits to the University of Michigan! 6/21/11 – Ohio State [...]

Hey Buckeye fans, brace yourselves for the following sanctions against your football program: 1 – All 2010 wins and 2011 bowl victory will be vacated which means your consecutive Big Ten Title streak ended at five; 2 – Previous seasons’ wins vacated as well; 3 – Two year bowl ban; 4 – Two year Big [...]

Larry is probably having quite a bit of angst now that Terrelle Pryor’s former friend came out and stated that Pryor made up to $40k autographing Buckeye memorabilia, “received preferential treatment in the Columbus community, receiving thousands [...]

I saw the recent threats by Storm Klein’s father to bring a defamation suit against Sports Illustrated. Barbie Carpenter on 97.1 The Fan also made reference to such threats by OSU players named in the Sports Illustrated article. Both are complete idiots who have no understanding of the law. A defense to a defamation action [...]

It’s becoming more and more clear that 97.1 The Fan is the resting place for former Buckeyes who couldn’t hack it in the pros and would never be given a first look by national or even regional media outlets. These guys are absolutely terrible on the air. I don’t think any preparation goes into their [...]

Ray Small tells all: Ex-Buckeye says he sold memorabilia, some players don’t ‘think about’ rules OSU basketball player must defend himself for saying that it was no secret that Buckeye football players were driving nice cars My intent is all a moot point anyway. So many of you are calling me out for throwing my [...]

мебели от чамAdam Rittenberg from ESPN’s Big Ten Blog interviewed Craig Haubert, recruiting coordinator for Scout’s, Inc. Although this quote was attributable to Haubert, I’m going to call Rittenberg and Haubert to the table on it.
