As we approach the kickoff for the first championship of the College Football Playoff, the thought has crossed my mind that we are witnessing a true "team of destiny." Every season has a champion, but not every season has a team of destiny. Look at UConn this past season in basketball -- entering Ma...

By Curt Heinrichs Just a week after falling to top-ranked Iowa, the Buckeyes welcomed in third-ranked Penn State to St. John Arena and the Buckeyes were able to tally one in the win column.

While I think Eleven Warriors did a fine job summarizing the program options ESPN will be offering Monday night, I urge all Buckeye fans to watch only, the broadcast of the game on ESPN. O.W.N. ESPN means, watch ESPN "only when necessary." After years of relentless bashing and disrespect of Bu...

Since Bruce Feldman reported that Ohio State is not bound my the 20-hours of practice rules, there have been questions here at Elevenwarriors.com about what that means. The rules are spelled out in NCAA Bylaw 17.1.5 (Daily and Weekly Hour Limitations). During the playing season (when not a vac...

Urban Meyer's stay at Florida was one of tremendous success, which we, Buckeye fans, know all too well. However, it came at great cost to Urban and his family. We now know all of the stories about the damage that he did to himself, physically, mentally, and emotionally, as well as the separation...

Oh hi there. This is something I've wanted to do for quite some time, but in my own busy life I've not had the time or something has kept me busy. I've decided that as apart of my New Year's Resolutions I will finally start doing a Buckeye Blog dedicated to football. It will be a weekly thing once n...
