OHIO STATE BUCKEYES RUMORS & GOSSIP
THE NAME GAME
During an interview with a Cleveland radio station on Thursday, the Buckeyes new head coach, when discussing Michigan, said, "We don’t use their name," and referred to them as "That Team Up North."
Urban Meyer has had a long history of recruiting players with the best of them, now he is under attack at Ohio State. Come on people give me a break. What high school player that has talent wouldn’t want to play on a team Urban Meyer is the coach of? Meyer is a great College football coach. This guy is one of the very best in the country and has been for years. Now you have a few...
RIVALRY ON
In a move he is taking from Woody Hayes’ book, Urban Meyer has wasted little time trying to bring a spark to the Michigan vs Ohio State rivalry. This schedule is posted inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center and does not address Michigan by name or logo. Hopefully Hoke can come with something just a little bit more creative than this … Continue reading …
The college football world was all abuzz yesterday over National Signing Day. Most of the nation’s top recruits signed their letters of intent for the universities where they will continue their football careers.

BACK TO SCHOOL
After missing out on the Indianapolis Colts head coaching position, Jim Tressel is reportedly interested in returning to Ohio State as a college administrator.
WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS
For those who might have missed it earlier this week, Urban Meyer invited the Big Ten Network into his new office to check out the new digs. Some fans may cringe at the sight of the Bengals helmet, or even the Percy Harvin jersey he has in there, but all in all, it’s nice to see a glimpse behind the curtain. He talks about his family and having his son help him coach at OSU, as...

I don’t know how this was missed yesterday but there was a streaker during the Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl. Television cameras did not pick up the streaker but our friend HanlonRocks took this picture from the stands of Florida vs. Ohio State.
It looks like the guy only got half way there (Thank God). My favorite part of the picture is the Florida football...
Ohio State lost to Florida in the Gator Bowl Monday, and senior linebacker Tyler Moeller says the Gators players went overboard with their racial taunts during the game. Asked about the chippiness during the game, Moeller says the Florida players were classless on the field.
“I’ve never seen more people swing at our players and call us racial slurs,” Moeller said, according...
BUCKEYES BANISHED
According to preliminary reports, the NCAA Committee of Infractions will hand down a one-year bowl ban for the year 2012 and two other penalties to the Ohio State Buckeyes football program.
Ken Gordon has reported that Taylor Graham was granted a release from Ohio State, freeing up a scholarship and leaving Ohio State with only two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster.
Graham is without a doubt a pocket-passer and was not a good fit for what Urban Meyer wanted in a QB for the spread offense. During the spring and summer of 2011, it appeared that Taylor Graham was...
