Smith Pulling Double Duty On OSU Track Team

Ohio State freshman wideout Devin Smith had a solid start to his Buckeye career this fall by tying for the team lead in catches, but he wasn't ready to give up his second sport, either. As a result, Smith is working with the Buckeye track and field team right now, and his love of competing in a different sport is fine with new head coach Urban Meyer.

BBN Hoops Microscope - Sully v Purdue

    Tuesday night, Jared Sullinger’s season was condensed into one game. Sullinger finished with 18 points and 6 rebounds in 32 minutes of action. Those are excellent, though not dominant, numbers. But his impact on the game felt less substantial. William Buford went unconscious for a career-high 29 points. Sullinger was in foul trouble early. In the second half, he came...

Big Buford: Buckeyes Top Boilers In A Fast-Paced Thriller

William Buford is one of the most maddening players that I’ve ever had on the teams that I closely follow. In some of the biggest games of his career, he has failed to rise to the occasion with some hideous shooting performances. Overshadowed by other guards and forwards throughout most of his career, the lone senior on the team is often unfairly the scapegoat for some of the...

USCe Upgrades Compliance - Hires Ohio State Castoff

South Carolina makes blogging fun. Here we are in February, the month that NCAA will hear South Carolina's latest pleas of innocence and what do the Gamecocks do? They hired Chris Rogers to oversee a compliance department that failed to notice of half its football team living in a luxury hotel. The Rogers appointment is interesting mainly because he will report to Columbia...

Badgers women hit 12 3s, fall to No. 10 Ohio State

Wisconsin's long-range shooting was fantastic. Yet it still wasn't enough to knock off No. 10 Ohio State on a stellar night for point guard Samantha Prahalis. Prahalis scored a career-high 34 points and the Buckeyes made the most of an eight-day layoff to beat the Badgers 72-58 on Monday night, their 20th consecutive victory in the series. First-year Wisconsin coach Bobby...

Michigan recruit targets Ohio State

The rivalry between “the team up north” and “that school down south” takes no breaks during the off-season. Michigan’s top recruit Ondre Pipkins, who’s letter of intent is still hot of the presses, truly understands the animosity between the two schools. In a radio interview on Ann Arbor’s WTKA, the 6-foot-3, 320-pound defensive tackle spoke his piece about Ohio State...

Top U-M recruit jumping right into rivalry with OSU

The ink was hardly dry on Ondre Pipkins' letter of intent to Michigan, and he was already talking-trash at Ohio State.

Pipkins compared Michigan's five-star offensive lineman Kyle Kalis to Ohio State's five-star...

Ohio State Refuses To List Michigan On Its Schedule

When Brady Hoke took over at Michigan he promised to get back to Michigan roots. Part of those roots are the hatred for Ohio State. Hoke never mentioned the Buckeyes by name always referring to them as Ohio. After an off year by the Buckeyes which Michigan broke the seemingly decade long losing streak to Ohio State, the Bucks decided to go Woody Hayes on Michigan when they made...
