How Do You Kick ‘Em When They’re Already Down?
November 20, 2008
There is nothing, and I mean nothing I love more in college football than seeing Michigan get humiliated at the hands of Ohio State. This year however, the Wolverines have been so overwhelmingly humiliated already that it sort of takes the fun out of it. How do you beat a …

BUCKEYES BUZZ: A lot is being made of freshman Terrelle Pryor starting at quarterback against Michigan (12:08 p.m. kickoff Saturday, Ohio Stadium). But what if he doesn’t?

Michigan: A Look At The Stats (And A Couple Intangibles)
November 20, 2008
Okay, they’re 3-8. Okay, none of the players on their roster have beaten Ohio State. And okay, a Michigan win Saturday would be the biggest upset in the history of the rivalry. None of that means it’s impossible. Anything can happen. Just ask Toledo or Appalachian State. While this season is a failure for Michigan [...]
Should Boeckman play vs. Michigan?
November 20, 2008
Many of Ohio State’s seniors would like to see Todd Boeckman play against Michigan. Do you think he should get a chance, regardless of the score? It’d be nice to see him get a chance to play bit, especially with the way he’s conducted himself after losing the starting job.

Oregon vows more uniform chaos to come
November 19, 2008
Oregon Ducks football is an enigma. To some, the Ducks are among the upper crust of the Pac10 elite. To others, Oregon is the team responsible for the Nike-ification of college sports… and thus a blight on football.
Regardless of how you feel about the Ducks, one thing is certain: Oregon will continue to trick up [...]
Does Michigan really have a chance?
November 19, 2008
As far as rivalries are concerned, games like the 2006 edition of Ohio State vs. Michigan are a rarity. After all, it took 103 tries for both teams to take the top spot in the rankings, and with the current state of parity amongst the powerhouses of college football, nobody should be surprised if it [...]
Winning “The Game” is about who “gets it” more….
November 19, 2008
I’ve been watching The Game since I was a little boy. I’ve seen Earle Bruce win games he shouldnt have won, I’ve seen John Cooper lose games he shouldn’t have lost, and I’ve seen Jim Tressel absolutely own TTUN.
On the other side of the field, the TTUN coaches who understand the rivalry have done [...]
