BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!! (AP Photo/Robin Scholz) Being a Buckeye fan is not always a peanut butter ball wrapped in chocolate, by now everyone of us should know this. We aren’t Buckeye fans to be front running bandwagoneers that suddenly have an semi empty stadium when the team doesn’t play well (like USC this year). But one thing [...]
Really? “It’s exciting to go on the road. We lose many of the advantages we’ve had for the last four games of the home crowd and our band being with us and the comforts of home, but our guys like challenges and I think they’re anxious to get on the road.” Jim Tressel on the [...]
Sanzenbacher flies by Eagles for a record setting day. (AP Photo/Jay LaPrete) Sometimes you sit down to blog about the previous Saturday’s game and it just flows. Sometimes it takes a few more days to let the game sink in before you can really begin to put feelings into words. Most of the time for [...]
Even the EMU band “The Pride of the Peninsula” is way overmatched. (photo from Eagle Totem) Once again the Buckeyes enter a week against a grossly overmatched opponent, this time against the Eastern Michigan Eagles who have not won a game since 2008. Yes, that is right. The #2 ranked undefeated Buckeyes will be hosting [...]
Tressel knows there is work to be done (AP Photo/Terry Gilliam) Watching the Buckeyes in a bar is not my preferred way to view anymore to be sure. It has cool parts about it - like having food made for you and drinks brought to you, being around other fans, etc. - but in the [...]
Sibling Rivalry Weekend It was a strange day the last time the Ohio Bobcats came to the Shoe in the “in state financial warm fuzzy” match up that ended up being more nauseating than anything. Remember that day? Beanie was out and the Buckeyes struggled mightily before dispatching the Bobcats 26-14 for Ohio State’s 800th [...]
Big, fast and nasty. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images) The rain did come Saturday in the Horseshoe but any hopes that Miami had for revenge were left high and dry as the Buckeyes handled the Hurricanes before a fully hostile and loud crowd. 36-24 was the final score and there were some tense moments with [...]
Can weather any storm…. Many years ago when I was a high school football player my coach used to have a saying as it got later in the week regarding the upcoming game – “The hay is in the barn” – he would always say. What he meant is that as long as you had [...]
It is a penalty – get over it already. Photo – Buckeyefansonly.com So at last Miami week is here and the game that has had a significant amount of buzz ever since it was scheduled is a mere three days away. This game has been on everyone’s mind, and as Sanzenbacher said “it is [...]
Zoom led the stampede…………. REUTERS/Matt Sullivan Damn it felt good to see the Buckeyes back in the Shoe for some real game action. Even more so considering that along with a rep for some questionable play in big games the teams of the Tressel era have been known for sputtering out of the game often [...]
