October 31, 2008
With the bye week, the flow of information coming out of the WHAC has been a bit slower than normal, but Tressel did speak with the press on Thursday afternoon. As you might imagine, much of what he had to say was in response to questions about the offense …

Greetings from Gopher Country
October 31, 2008
Posted by ESPN.com’s Adam Rittenberg
MINNEAPOLIS — It’s almost November and you don’t need a jacket here. This is a very good thing.
The weather is perfect and it’s a shame Saturday’s game will be played indoors. I arrived early this afternoon and spend most of the day at The U — that’s the University of Minnesota [...]
Scrimmage at Miami on Sunday
October 31, 2008
Thad Matta and his coaching staff get their first chance to see how their team looks against someone else this weekend.
Matta eschewed a second exhibition game against a non-Division I team this season in favor of doing what a lot of other coaches are — scrimmaging another Division I team. The Buckeyes will bus to [...]
Ohio State vs. USC Rosebowl Rematch?
October 31, 2008
O.K. So we’ve lost our shot at the BCS championship. That doesn’t mean that a Rose Bowl appearance is out of the question. Besides, isn’t that what Big Ten football is all about - the Rose Bowl?
If everything falls in place, and this is in now way a stretch, Ohio …

Something to watch for - aka “laughing at Michigan still”
October 31, 2008
With no Ohio State game this weekend, I’m probably going to be watching no football on Saturday. Truth be told, I’m going to Cedar Point for Halloweekend, and riding the Millenium Force at night.
The Big Ten schedule has it’s two best teams taking the week off with the Buckeyes and Penn State resting for the [...]
#17 Golden Gophers Aren’t Getting The Attention They Deserve
October 31, 2008
A few weeks back I was reading an article on ESPN.com about the biggest turn around from one season to another. And no where did it mention the Golden Gophers who are perhaps the best story of the Big Ten and even all of college football.
The gophers last year were 1-11 and were found in [...]
Mitch’s Week 10 College Football Picks: Part Four (Dawgs Vs. Gators)
October 31, 2008
I’m ready for a weekend of some conference play football.
Usually when I look at the schedule and not too many games pop out at me, I think that by the times the lines come out I’ll have a good idea on most of them. This week is no different.
I’m excited to watch some good conference [...]
