“This team is awful.”
“How can we be this bad??”
“Urban Meyer is overrated and it’s showing. It’s UAB!”
“Braxton Miller needs to run it 15+ times per game at minimum!”
Outside of a wide range of expletives, all of those comments littered my twitter feed and text messages almost verbatim (feel free to identify yourself). I cannot act like I am above any of these...

Miller, Bell play lead roles in Big Ten opener
EAST LANSING, Mich. -- What a difference a year has made for Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller and Michigan State tailback LeVeon Bell.
When their teams played last year, Bell came in behind starter Edwin Baker. Miller, making his second start as a true freshman, gave way to a nondescript senior, Joe Bauserman, in a 10-7 loss to the Spartans.
Now they are the headliners for...

I started off writing this article each week because it seemed like a fun concept. I wasn’t sure if it was going to stick. Now after four weeks I know that I have to keep putting this out there, if nothing else to be the voice of dissent.

Though they sit at 4-0 on the season, the #14 Ohio State Buckeyes haven’t proven much. In fact, if they’ve shown anything, it’s that this team is still very much a work in progress. The offense has been reminiscent of Terrelle Pryor’s early year under Jim Tressel; sophomore Braxton Miller is an electrifying runner and can scramble his way out of most predicaments, but...

The Ohio State Buckeyes don’t exactly have all that much to play for this year. They are on postseason probation, thus can’t win the Big Ten and can’t play in a bowl game. However, Head Coach Urban Meyer has his team buying into the fact that a 12-0 season would be of the utmost importance, especially if it can wreck the year of so many other teams in the Big Ten. The first...

QB McGloin on roll as Penn St braces for Big Ten
In a league in which dual-threat quarterbacks dominate the headlines, Penn State's Matt McGloin has emerged as the top passer in the Big Ten.
McGloin doesn't have the scrambling ability of Michigan senior Denard Robinson or the potential of Ohio State sophomore Braxton Miller.
But McGloin is certainly on a roll as the Nittany Lions (2-2) prepare for tougher competition...

Michigan has the unique position of having three big rivals. Most teams only have one rival to get up for, but year-in and year-out, Michigan has three. While we, as fans, hate each of these teams, we carry some respect for them. Michigan State and Ohio State carry conference affiliation ties while Notre Dame, well, we all just put up with them. All season long, it’s fun to keep...
