I am going to assume that Dark Knight Rises parodies are going to make their way around college football, since this is the second one we have come across since last week, with “the Dark Chiz Rises” made the rounds previously. Next up, Urban Meyer, who has returned to coaching with the Ohio State Buckeyes, [...]

O$U’s Gordon Gee has some expensive bow ties
When you are the most expensive “CEO” of a public university, it makes sense that you would wear some expensive threads. This is definitely the case with Gordon Gee, the president of Ohio State. The head man for the Buckeyes is known for his outrageous bow ties, and they come at a hefty price according [...]

Monday Morning Optimism: Ohio State vs. UAB
Big Hank had another big game, (Photo by Neal C. Lauron)
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.
I don’t want to get too preachy, and I don’t want to open this column bashing Buckeye...
Helmet Stickers – Ohio State vs. UAB
Week Four of the college football season, and the entire non-conference portion of the schedule, is now behind us and once again your Empire team is here to pass out a few helmet stickers to deserving Buckeyes. The Bucks had one hell of a time with Alabama-Birmingham, yet somehow moved up two spots in the latest AP Poll in spite of putting only eight second-half points on the...

Another Batman spoof: 'The Dark Meyer Rises'
As you may remember, last week we tipped you off to a video called “The Dark Chiz Rises," a goofy Batman spoof, which “starred” Gene Chizik as Bruce Wayne, trying to save a crumbling Gotham City… or in this case, a crumbling college football program down on the Plains. It’s safe to say that the video not only made our week, but quite possibly our entire 2012 as...
The Argument – Braxton’s Buckeyes
“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...
What we know about Ohio State football

If the walls of Ohio Stadium could talk about win number 400 yesterday, oh the things the cement and metal would tell the world about The Ohio State Buckeyes. One thing is for sure, however: this is not the worst those walls have seen and the coaches are willing to accept that fact and continue to improve.
What else have we learned coming...
Ohio State Spent $64K on Bow Ties for University President
The Dayton Daily News has reported that The Ohio State University has spent in excess of $64,000 on “bow ties and related items” since the fall of 2007 on behalf of University President, Gordon Gee.
Gee, who was the center of criticism for his handling of the Jim Tressel, Terrelle Pryor fiasco, is known for his trademark bow ties.
The newspaper requested various documents from...
Buckeye Six Pack: The UAB Game
Each week I rewatch the Buckeyes game and give you my takeaways from the game in a little piece we like to call the…
First things first- I am away this week and therefore was not able to rewatch the game. This week’s six pack will have to be from my original impressions of the Ohio State game. The Buckeyes won 29-15. Let’s get started…
1) Poor Tackling. The lead item from...

Ohio State opens as 3-point underdogs at Michigan State
Can Le’Veon Bell find running room against OSU?
After a three game span that saw the Buckeyes keep inferior opponents in each contest for various reasons, Ohio State (4-0, 0-0 B1G) has opened up as 3-point underdogs for their trip to East Lansing this Saturday afternoon to face Michigan State (3-1, 0-0 B1G). The Over/Under for this weekend’s game has opened at a reasonably...
