Is excruciating.  OBVIOUSLY I don't want to lose UFM, and I think if OSU cuts ties after this, it's largely a totally unforced error on his part. I can understand why he doesn't cut ZSmith loose in 2015 -- no charges, no official notification to him as a result (from what I've seen), he only...

Being after being an avid OSU fan for nearly two decades, you begin to absorb trivial facts from sheer osmosis. Everytime OSU plays a team from inside Ohio's political borders the broadcaster's perpetually remind us... Ohio State hasn't lost to an Ohio school since 1921 Oberlin (7-6). http://w...

We just got back from a week-long trip to Reno and San Jose. It was a very nice time visiting friends and family. We were fortunate that we missed all the rain as Alberto went past our home near Tampa. Here are a few observations resulting from the trip: As we approached the TSA counter as we lef...

Hot Corn Dip INGREDIENTS 2½ cups fresh, frozen or drained canned corn 2 (4-ounce) cans green chiles, drained 1 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and diced 2 cups Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese ½ cup Parmesan cheese 1 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise 3 slices bacon, cooked and chop...

I have a soft spot for the Winter Olympics, and I'm not sure why, but I love the events and I'm excited for next month.  Attending a Winter Olympics is a bucket list item for me. But let's go back in time a little bit.  I always really liked watching the downhill skiing events and remem...

Better late than never is something I live by and something that Ohio State lived by this season as well… so here goes nothing. Favorite Stat(s) of the Game: 3 sacks, 4 hurries, 2 interceptions, and 19 completions out of 40 attempts. That’s what the defense did to Alex Hornibrook when he was ...

(Originally posted on www.osubucksdad.com) There is always debate about which players should make the all-conference teams at each position. This year, for example, you'd be hard-pressed to find a Michigan fan that would call Nick Bosa the league's best defensive lineman, despite him winning that...

If the ultimate goal is to win the national championship, one must first become one of the four teams selected for the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes still have a shot. There are sixteen FBS games this upcoming weekend. The Buckeyes play in the last time slot of the weekend—8:00pm ...

Favorite Stat of the Game: 2.5 Sacks by Sam Hubbard. The King of the Queen City and my current favorite Buckeye played like a beast in what is likely his last edition of The Game (if you haven’t heard, he participated in Senior Tackle this week) and I hope he and The Rushmen lead the Buckeyes to 2...

Well my Buckeye friends, the View From the Aisle is obviously very late this week. It’s what happens when you endure a wind and rain soaked Senior Day, binge watch the most recent two seasons of Game of Thrones, and just plain old life carrying on. With that and all I can think about football rela...

Favorite Stat of the Game: 42 attempts, 335 yards, 4 touch downs for the good guys. 34 attempts 64 yards and 0 touch downs for the bad guys. The running game returned for this one with a vengeance. It was the running game a la the 2015 contest against that team up north. This was a classic Urban Mey...

I went back and looked at OSU history and was not surprised to find that this loss stands out from almost every other loss in OSU history. Since 1940, OSU has only give up 50 or more points three times: a 1946 loss to #8 Michigan 58-6, a 1994 loss to #1 Penn State 63-14, and yesterday.  &nbs...

Worst Stat of the Game: 4 INTs. Favorite Moment of the Game: When this cluster job was over. To me it was over when they went 3 and out on their opening drive of the 2nd half. Favorite Player of the Game: None. It was a group cluster job. Ryan Shazier-Devin Smith Award: None. I can’t thin...

Crock Pot Potato Soup INGREDIENTS 2 – 30 oz. bag of frozen, shredded hash browns 4 – 14 oz. cans of chicken broth 2 –  large cans cream of chicken soup ½ cup onion (chopped) ¼ tsp. ground pepper 1 lb. extra sharp cheddar cheese 1 – package cream cheese 1 lb. bac...

I'm sure many of you are familiar with SB Nation's weekly feature, This Week in Schadenfreude. If not, take a quick look: https://www.sbnation.com/this-week-in-schadenfreude It's not hard to figure out. It's basically college football fans piling on other college football fans' collective mise...

Favorite Stat of the Game: J.T.’s 4th Quarter. After a fumble in which J.T. stayed on his knees in disgust, as did all of Ohio (not with him per se, but the situation) He. Was. Perfect. 13-13 for 170 yards and 3 TDs in the 4th. Biggest comeback win for Urban ever, biggest for the Buckeyes since �...

Yesterday, my son and I made our pilgrimage to Ohio State and College GameDay. My son loves going early (we arrived just before 6am) to a sparse crowd and were quickly surrounded by the #SaveTheCrew squad! The stadium last "lit af" as the kids say these days. We made signs and did...

(Originally written here: http://www.osubucksdad.com/2017/10/25/top-3-buckeye-plays-vs-penn-state/) I’m ready for the Penn State game. On a scale of one to ten, I’m officially Spinal Tapping at an 11, and it was only made worse on Wednesday night when I somehow managed to get a ticket fr...

If Penn State beats Ohio State this cold, soggy Saturday, it won't be because of Saquon Barkley and his legs. While his all-purpose yards are out of control, and he is effective out of the backfield catching passes, his rushing is mediocre, at best.  He is nowhere near the level of Stanford'...

  LuluLemon ABC pants are really amazing.  I get it that our not so favorite khaki coach up here wears them…but they are comfortable as hell.  Definitely worth the money. UnderArmour golf pants are a close second….and cheaper I realized that by posting a picture of Scarl...
