Old Columbus Town: 2/10/08 - 2/17/08

Special thanks to Steve Spencer. For use of his "Mount Buckmore" artwork. Thursday, February 14, 2008. Pur-doin' pretty damn well; CBS writer takes a cheap shot. It would appear that amateur hour is officially on hiatus in West Lafayette. Purdue's athletic program, recently marginalized in the Big Ten, is showing some serious signs of life, posting an 11-1 conference record (1st place) and is 20-5 overall (AP #19.). OSU gets another shot at Purdue on March 4th, when I'll almost certainly recycle this post.

No April Fools but this effort by ESPN's Jeremy Green must be a joke. Paired with Draft expert Todd McShay, the straight-faced B.J. Novak character in ESPN's ensemble cast, Green comes off as a cross between That's Amore! Star Dimenico and a sports-crazed big-rig driver hopped-up on a fistful of Yellow Hornets. For a fun Saturday night:. Back in action soon enough.

Special thanks to Steve Spencer. For use of his "Mount Buckmore" artwork. Saturday, April 19, 2008. Besides the INTs, Boeckman Looks Pretty Good. THE VIEW FROM THE HEDGES:. SPECIAL REPORT SPRING GAME BONANZA 2008. Yes, the annual Scarlet-Gray spring game this year was a bonanza and by bonanza, I mean rainy and offensively-challenged. Leading the Scarlet against the hated Gray, turned in a head-scratching performance: 12 for 18, 145 yards and two picks. As my colleague noted, Boeckman. Moreover, the condi...

Special thanks to Steve Spencer. For use of his "Mount Buckmore" artwork. Friday, February 1, 2008. Ryan Seacrest, Terry Bradshaw’s daughters and the NFL’s version of the BCS Nat’l Championship. Disclaimer: The following has very little to do with our boys in scarlet and gray, just football and the Seacrestization of the game. Anyone who is familiar with Seacrest’s resume as the. On this morning’s show he was given the opportunity, in a relatively informal setting, to (briefly) be a football goon o...

Old Columbus Town: Is that Denzel Washington?

http://oldcolumbustown.blogspot.com/2008/04/is-that-denzel-washington.html

Special thanks to Steve Spencer. For use of his "Mount Buckmore" artwork. Saturday, April 12, 2008. Is that Denzel Washington? Greg lookin' fresh in pinstripes and a clean shave. Greg Oden, despite sitting out the duration of his first pro-season, is still a media fixation and can seemingly do no wrong. Other than some minor backlash when the understandably stir-crazy 20-year-old participated in a pickup game, Oden has managed to impress his team and fans alike without ever playing an NBA match. Those in...

Kind of, only it was a Camaro that U.C.L.A. gave Charles Jefferson (Forrest Whitaker). References in the same week? Homeboys over at Zombie Nation. PSU) and the venerable MGoBlog. You know who) have unearthed this non-story. Read the blogs and take from them what you will. Keep in mind that Tressel was in fact on the recruiting trail last weekend.

Special thanks to Steve Spencer. For use of his "Mount Buckmore" artwork. Saturday, February 23, 2008. Schott off the mark again. In an interview with The Dis. Bill Jones of the OSU Athletic Dept. says he will be considering a change of policy for seating/tickets for men's basketball games. These upper bowl ticket holders can't make their way behind the baskets if they notice their fellow students have failed to show. The thorn in J. I keep hearing rumors that students are going to propose (they be allot...

Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Dominic Jones Is A Number. Excellent article today by the. Rochelle Olson on life in prison through the eyes of former Minnesota Gophers defensive back Dominic Jones. Choice quote from the lede: ". Number 00425759. That's my number," Jones said. "My name now is Inmate. It's not Dominic Jones.". I highly recommend you read the entire article. Great reporting by Ms. Olson. Saturday, July 26, 2008. So, How Did Brewster Fare On Media Day? I'm not going to pick on Brewster for the opti...

Top seeded Wisconsin will face the 10th seeded Fighting Illini tomorrow in the Big Ten conference championship. Illinois, smokin' hot off a win over Minnesota. No need to lose sleep tonight, however, as Wisconsin has made it very clear down the stretch that it is the class of the conference,. Winning their last nine games. Pret-ty neat there, Gophers.

Buckskin's Ramblings: Revisiting John Cooper

http://osu-buckskin.blogspot.com/2012/12/revisiting-john-cooper.html

Random thoughts on College Football and THE Ohio State Buckeyes. Sunday, December 16, 2012. I love this guy’s enthusiasm about the future but I hate it when we feel the need to tear down others to make ourselves feel better about the future. I decided to look at some of the facts. A few points of note:. The numbers do no match recruiting class as that would have taken too much time. I used the NFL draft and backdated 4 years. I looked at the 2004 class and only Chris Gamble was a Tressel recruit. John Co...
