Interpretation is a key part of Joe Beale's post "Defense Wins Championships, Except When It Doesnt".  Saying "Defense wins Championships" is not the same as "The team with the best defense always wins." Is Joe equating those statements? Saying "Defense wins championships" doesn't mean yo...

It was a good weekend for wrestling in Massillon, with the Perry Panthers winning the Division I State Dual Tournament over the weekend. Prior to the Panthers victory, however, the Buckeyes took on Michigan State at Perry High School. In a fairly new tradition, the Buckeyes have hosted a home dual m...

Today I had the pleasure of taking in my very first NCAA lacrosse game, featuring the good guys vs. Johns Hopkins. Other than the pothole ridden streets of Baltimore (it's seriously worse than Cleveland), the trip from DC was pretty smooth. As I approached the JHU campus, I was reminded how popul...

Interview by Curt Heinrichs I had the opportunity to speak with former Olympian (as both a competitor and coach) Tom Minkel, who is in his 23rd year as Michigan State’s head wrestling coach. We discussed everything from the prospects of a pro wrestling league to the upcoming dual between the ...

As we all know towards the end of the year the offense became unbearably predictable. In the two postseason games I was able to call damn near every play before the snap (screen to Philly, read option, bomb to nobody) Completely unsat for a team that did what it did for the majority of the season al...

Ryan Shazier completed one of the greatest campaigns I have ever seen from an Ohio State linebacker. To me he ranks up there with the great linebackers at Ohio State. He had an amazing 2012, and 2013 was no different. He was always all over the field, and seemed to be involved in every single...

Preview by Curt Heinrichs “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of 100 battles.” – The Art of War- Sun Tzu On Friday night, the Buckeyes will continue the recent tradition where they travel to a senior’s alma mater to play host to a Big...

Recap by Curt Heinrichs It’s a good thing that Nick Tavanello has the broadest shoulders on the Buckeye wrestling team because for the 2nd time in the Big Ten dual season, the match’s outcome relied on Tavanello’s heavyweight match. The Buckeyes started slowly, but rallied to come...

What is your list of 2014's most important OSU football games?  For this post, the list only includes scheduled games, not the B1G championship game or playoff/bowl game(s), which would obviously be important games. Yes, it does depend on how you define "important."  That co...

Obviously we never want to see any losses and want to go 40-0 with a national championship every year, but that's not reality.  Having said that, it seems to me that Matta-coached teams tend to get revenge better than other teams.  I did some research going back to the 09-10 season loo...

With National Signing Day on the horizon I figured this would be a good time to catch up on the players who signed in previous classes. Today we look at what happened to the players who signed in 2007. Below you will find the 15 players who signed with Ohio State in February 2007 and their vitals c...

In the 2012 season Bradley Roby had an amazing year, recording 62 tackles, 17 passes broken up, 2 INTs (1 for a TD), 1 sack, and 1 punt block. He also earned All-American honors in 2012. As a red-shirt sophomore he gambled with jumping to the NFL or coming back for one more year to try and win a c...

I had a chance to catch up with Chris Malone, a former reserve offensive lineman who played for Ohio State from 2006-2011. Contrary to the popular belief that all linemen are big dumb oafs, Chris is a big smart oaf. He is currently completing his 3rd year of medical school at Ohio University. Chri...

Interview by Curt Heinrichs Prior to the Ohio State-Purdue dual tomorrow night, I had the opportunity to speak with Purdue's head coach Scott Hinkel to discuss the match between the Boilermakers and Buckeyes (which will be aired live on BTN at 7 PM).  Curt Heinrichs- One of the problems I...

Recap by Curt Heinrichs   Heading into Friday’s match against #11 Michigan, the keys to the match as mentioned by Wolverine coach Joe McFarland were bonus points as well as upsets. While the bonus points went in favor of the Buckeyes, the Wolverines had the edge in upsets, scoring 3 ups...
